Thought of the week from Marty Bent:
Many forget that Bitcoin depends on hardware and physical infrastructure just as much as it depends on software.
Thought of the week from Matt Odell:
The SEC suspended trading in 15 stocks yesterday citing "questionable social media activity" while flexing their power to suspend trading of any stock for 10 days without notice. This is a clear example of how traditional financial markets are rigged by design. Individuals should be able to participate in markets privately and without restriction. Free market unrestricted price discovery is not manipulation. Regulators operating unilaterally in an attempt to control markets is actual manipulation.
The only global liquid free market is bitcoin. Every other market is manipulated.
