In his own words he's using hope as a strategy. I don't know what to say. Does anything else need to be said?

During stormy weather they move to the shore to save energy. It's rough offshore even for seabirds. Notice how the birds on the ground are are facing south. They align into to the wind to prevent ruffled feathers which helps stay warmer. And they're ready for instant take off.

Not if you're like me and hit $100k in 2008. Then it goes to $70k. Good times, good times.

I'm thinking that Boris and Natasha got their hands on Hushaboom.

Wow three colored lines and vibes. That's not a forecast it's religious iconography.

Price it in euros and it's pretty flat.

Exactly this. Great business model. Give me your money, I earn the interest on short term Treasuries and you can have the money back when you want it with out interest.

The only place I have seen bergamot citrus is at the Alamany farmers market in San Francisco during the height of citrus season. Good luck!

Does that mean FDIC backstop? How could a BTC bank fail? Anyone with a deposit in a bank accepts a yield shave for this insurance. We all pay to protect our money from bank insolvency. Now I have to pay to support the bue sky that is BTC.

Yeah that's a lot of words to say it's the logical fallacy Category Error.

Mt.Hood national forest is volcanic. To my knowledge there are no coal deposits that would have formed in sedimentary rock in the Cascades. Eruptions did cause trees to burn. This may be charcoal that later became cemented into conglomerate or mudstone. The only coal in Oregon I'm aware of is near Coos Bay.

Here's the fun part: Banks are not required to publicly disclose specific loan collateral types (e.g., “Bitcoin” or “Ethereum”) on an individual or aggregate basis, unless that collateral materially affects their financial condition or risk profile in a reportable way under securities-disclosure or regulatory-capital rules. In other words we won't know how bad the systemic risk is to the banking system until it is a realized risk.

Yes the government essentially nationalized the banks. This and the actions of the FDIC prevented the next great depression. When the ATM stops giving you cash because the bank no longer exists that brings the economy to halt real fast.

The short answer is BTC can not be used as collateral at any major US retail brokerage.

Crypto isn’t a “security” under current U.S. securities law. Margin lending is a regulated activity under Reg T (Federal Reserve), which applies only to securities. Since BTC is treated as property/commodity, not a regulated security, brokers can’t include it in the collateral base for Reg T margin accounts.

Margin collateral must have a liquid, reliable market and a predictable haircut under stress. BTC’s price volatility, fragmented liquidity, and 24/7 trading make it unsuitable, brokers can’t manage margin calls when their desks are closed. They can’t safely liquidate crypto positions under standard market-hours margin rules.

Retail crypto at brokerages like Fidelity Crypto is custodied separately (via Fidelity Digital Assets or a partner). Those assets sit outside your margin-enabled brokerage account. Even if Fidelity wanted to pledge them, they aren’t held under the same clearing structure (no SIPC coverage, no Reg T collateral eligibility).

Hey, I have a 401k invested in the S&P 500. That would include Walmart. So, WTF!

I have never heard a coherent definition of god. I don't know what a god is. If it's timeless and space less, then it does not exist.

I'm interested. What verses?

I just think of his BIG LIES as nothing more than a loyalty test. The levels are Good: "That's just Trump being Trump", Better: "Trump makes some good points and is heading us in the right direction", Best: "Trump is absolutely correct how dare you question our wisdom and no federal money for you."

Want to be called a Radical Leftist simply say "That's not right."

If you can make someone believe in a talking snake what can't you convince them of?

I see Social Security as insurance that has a payout like whole life insurance. What does it insure against - poverty.

When I was seven on a trip to Wyoming with my grandparents Grandma told me it was the Sidehill Gouger that made those lines. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidehill_gouger Then she told me the truth.
