    That actually is a pretty good case for taking a flyer on one. I think you are going to be right about Coinbase being the funnel for this next cycle. They basically have no competition this time around and whatever they are pushing probably stands a good chance. It's all about the network...

    Good post. I guess “backed” isn’t the right term. It seems bitcoin has inherent monetary properties that are rather enabled by the entire ecosystem of resources, capital and labor that created it. Precious metals (such as gold) didn’t need to be backed by anything because they maintained...

    UMN paid $50k to WKU for "row the boat". It's too bad they seem to be rowing the wrong way. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2017/02/15/row-the-boat-to-minnesota-fleck-wmu-reach-deal-on-slogan/97957786/
