    Bitcoin is crashing again. Was thinking of buying when it bottoms out. Don’t know how low it will go. It’s so risky though. I can’t help but think there are just a few big players in there rigging it for there own gain. Buying massive amounts, generate the hype bubble nd then sell back most of it to the American Dollar, crashing it

    I've wondered the same thing. Wouldn't surprise me the people who got lucky and now tout themselves as "gurus" and sell professional trading courses, have something to do with it. Perhaps they amass a following, then hype it at the right times and cash out.

    I can see this...and a crazy movie will be made about it some day...Leonardo decaprio's 2.o will play one of the head "gurus"

    Agree ,,, My opinion--bitcoin is a fallacy based on B/S with no real assets to back the valuation !

    Yeah, but if you time it right you can be rolling in it. Problem is you have to be privy with the Powers that Be to do that. Its not a long term investment for sure.

    It can definitely be a swing trade !! But even the charts show no rhyme or reason. To me there are too many Market Makers involved with no real control or reporting ! It moves with tweets hahahah

    Gates Backs Blackstone’s $4.3 Billion Bid for Jet-Base Operator
    By Christopher Jasper , Anthony Palazzo , and Dinesh Nair

    Carlyle, GIP also weighing offers for Signature Aviation
    Private-jet base operator has thrived during Covid-19 pandemic

    Bill Gates joined the battle for Signature Aviation Plc, allying with Blackstone Group Inc. in a $4.3 billion approach for the world’s biggest operator of private jet bases.
    Gates’s Cascade Investment LLC, the biggest shareholder in Signature Aviation.

    HYPOCRITE!
    Those private jets don’t run on electricity or solar power.
    Remember, the rules don’t apply to him.
    I don’t believe a word he says.

    I spent the holiday reviewing my portfolio to fix any gaps (after not touching it or looking at it all 2020). Wealthsimple (one of the places I've dealt with since they first emerged) started offering the ability to easily buy BitCoin a few months ago.

    I'll let my teen son "play around" with that account. As for me, I decided to dip my toes in dividend stocks so I can DRIP. Boring but more reliable 🤷🏾‍♀️

    I match mine in category. So, similar shape and style / brand, base color, color accent match optional.

    Unless I'm really feeling wild. Then I'll go COMPLETELY opposite. And feel like a rebel all day... Until I'm unexpectedly asked to take off my shoes.

    Mine are all very similar, and just have very minor decorative marks.

    Now that I don't have to complete the puzzle after laundry, I feel so free! :smile: lol

    I wanna just buy a bunch of the exact same socks and never have to think about it again. I've been on the no matching train forever but most of my pants are tight on the ankle and you can definitely see that they don't match.

    Wanna up level?

    My two children and I all have similar foot sizes. We have one communal sock bucket. All socks go in there. No more sorting, no more individual drawers. None of that. One bucket, all sock pairs. And one tiny bucket for mismatched. Sometimes we'll just roll the dice and pick two mismatched socks.

    And the bucket is on the main floor because we're a bunch of sockless wonders and remain barefoot most times. We need them shortly before we leave the house, so they're near the door.

    Now sometimes we may have a few pair upstairs... But for the most part... One bucket. Main floor.

    Thank you for attending my Ted talk.

    Oh this is good.

    I think my feet are too big to pull this off at this time, however.

    I also can't rock pink socks.

    Anyone can rock pink socks :) especially if you have a garage gym.

    I absolutely love the idea of a sock bucket on the main floor😂

    That's what I was doing for so long. Then my sister and her dd started buying me expensive Darn Tough Socks, guaranteed for life. Back to matching but it's worth it. :)

    Waving westward, with a lone tear rolling down my cheek, to my Ontario neighbors. We've been under curfew since last weekend.

    Get it together, world. It doesn't have to be this waaaaaaaay 😱 C'mon now.

    Do you ever just want to spew out everything that is on your mind but you also don’t want to put all of your personal business on any social media? Asking for a friend 🤯

    This is me atm. I am frustrated and all I want is to have an outlet. Instead I went with beer.

    Wine here 🤗

    I feel for Toronto, ugh.
    In Ottawa we’ve been out since the 26th, which also means no work for me unfortunately and I’m starting to loose my mind, the worst déjà-vu feeling.
    This is ridiculous and super frustrating.

    Makes me wish I were a Canadian politician so I could just take a nice long trip abroad and get away from all this.

    I see what you did there 🤣
