Wow. Bitcoin is almost $1,500

[Charmonium]

I am curious, isn't .005 PPM less rare than .004 PPM? According to that statement, shouldn't Gold be rarer?

I thought the same thing. Either way though, both are pretty rare but gold is almost 3x more per ounce than platinum. Shrug.

Gotta keep the bubble going for the asset that has no underlying value and little use beyond doing illegal things.

I will allow the users of such a machine to scoff at my old fashioned practice of exchanging money for goods and services instead of nothing.

$1.5 billion stolen in largest Bitcoin heist ever:

Bybit hacked for almost $1.5 billion in the biggest crypto theft ever

A hacker took control of one of the exchange's offline wallets, transferring it to an unknown party. One expert says it's likely the all-time biggest heist of any kind.

Allegedly, N.Korea pulled it off. But that isn't confirmed I don't think. Also Bybit is covering the losses out-of-pocket.

I wonder what the chances are of tracking down and recovering the funds from wallet. Might be possible for some agencies, but if the source were in North Korea this would make it very difficult.

Best they can do is track the funds and freeze out the wallets. Ethereum isn't quite as decentralized as it used to be . . .

New ATH today. Almost 110k.

 

[Shmee]

Yup, BTC going way up, ETH still trailing though.

 

[Train]

Record highs in USD only, EU, GBP lagging behind.

While BTC is technically up all things considered, it also highlights the slipping dollar.

That actually makes lot of sense especially if you already heat with hydro anyway. May as well make a bit of money with that heat!
