The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for July 22, 2021

At least you didn’t have to wear that purple jacket from the ’70s.

The flashlight under the chin is a good touch.

Crypto Maniac

“And on my PGP file…A BLOODY HOOK!!!”

Nice white shoes Pat Boone!

Hah, this is one of the better ones.

Bitcoins value goes up and down like an elevator!

This is an old story. Can’t we have something more currency?

sounds like he really got burned…

That’s why it’s called “gambling”.

It would serve them right

Just another Bubble that’s going to go POP !!!!!!

We just had a full on discussion of this last night

Bitcoin is manipulated by the wealthy. When it dips they buy and then they sell higher. Elon Musk was in the news because he “invested” $1.5Billion when it was about 44,000 and bitcoin shot up, topping at 80,000 then Musk released the news that he was selling out and bitcoin is now near 30,000. It’s a fool’s bet!

I had lunch in a crypt once. They wanted regular money in payment for it though.

Then someone encrypted all of my office records including all of my Bitcoin records and demanded ransom payment in Bitcoin.

Never invest that which you are willing to lose.

Until crypto currency came along, currency had its value as a proxy for trading. Person A builds houses, person B builds cars, person C grows food, etc. Currency allows each person to be compensated so they can buy other peoples time and products without directly trading goods and services.

I’m still trying to understand how anyone agreed that crypto currency has value.

HA! Crypto currency, I’m happy with good old pocket change and a couple pieces of lint.

The man with the hook hand hacked your computer?

A lot of people invest in bitcoin and wind up with nothing but bitlint.

Are they wearing suits and ties ironically ?
