Sure, bitcoin is secure.  But it’s always the ‘exchanges’ that are fraud-riddled.  I kept my wallet offline for awhile.  But it was a royal pain to get it synced up with the network again after being offline.  Can take weeks or months before the network will find your BTC transactions and certify them again.  It is not a rapid-transaction system.  I made my 50-bagger long ago, and I still won’t touch the stuff.  NO “shoulda…coulda… woulda…” and no regrets!

I’m pretty sure this was on by Mark Levin yesterday. He has some points. I can only scan it right now. It took me awhile initially years back when he was behind Ted Cruz over Trump. Wondered did he change for views.

Thank you for sharing that experience. I could visualize and feel what you went through. I am in no way a computer literate other than basic tasks like searches let alone a trouble shooter other than the school of hard knocks many times by persistence as you and running to something by chance in the dark.

It sounds to me what happened to you was no accident. It was not by chance you couldn’t get your money out when you were ahead. They locked you out and robbed you.  They sound like front runners who took control of  your money then made money on your money similar to moving currency exchange around. They sound criminal and probably should of had a class action law suit liquidating their illegal gains and prosecuted.

This jumped out to me when i read it – “Coinbase joins the S&P 500.”

I had a recent experience with Coinbase that compels me to comment – IMO Coinbase is a joke of a company – i can’t believe they a got a listing.

Why do i say that – two PERSONAL experiences.

The FIRST Experience

i made some $$ on a gambling site – I used their promo money for some of my winnings.  I decided to cash out.  the company wouldn’t let me cash out in dollars.  But they would let me cash out in Bitcoin.  so i did – to do so – I HAD to put it in COINBASE.   This was pretty early in the game for BC.  Then BC had it’s first big explosion.  I called to get my $$ out of Coinbase and into dollars – they had a Robot answer and said there a lot of fraud going around  – if this concerns you press 1 to learn more.  I pressed 1.  The next thing i know i am locked out of my account.  They LOCKED it!!   I didn’t say i was hacked – i just wanted to “learn more”.  It took me ~18 months before i could get back in.  they had NO HUMAN support – just online which was crap – 99.9% run you in a circle. I tried looking for their HQs. address, you name it – couldn’t get in… and i couldn’t get help.

They eventually got Customer Service (CS) – don’t remember when.  Naturally BC had crashed back to earth by that time.

I took some $ out just to be sure i could and then kept my account open just to keep my toes in BC and gain some experience with it.

That went on for a couple of years, closing in on the present.  I made a few trades, but was mainly content to just let it ride.  I called CS a couple times with questions and just to be sure they were still there.

The SECOND Experience (and probably LAST)

Like i said, i went a year or so without doing any trades or much of anything.  then a couple months ago i decided to make a trade.  Maybe add some $$ to the account.  They had changed the website.  there were all these new and bizarre products being offered.  I was confused, so i tried to call CS.  No luck.  Robo City again – online BS all over again.  I tried some more. No luck.  I tried real hard – no go.  I COULD NOT FIND A  WAY TO SPEAK TO A HUMAN !!

I was pissed and decided to CASH OUT.  Naturally during this process BC was falling.  Finally cashed out, so that BC would be free to soar again – which it promptly did.

In fairness to Coinbase, perhaps I am an outlier.  Maybe 99% of their customers have no issues.  All i can comment on is my experience.  AND that experience was GOD AWFUL.

IMO Coinbase can rot in Hell – they are a POS company.

Apologizes for the typos – i am rushing

Heavy on Bitcoin but in between. The two trillion being invested it’s acquisition of a collapsing economy.

<span;>While the media spins distractions, Trump delivers a quiet bombshell in Abu Dhabi. Simon breaks down the speech line-by-line, revealing a seismic shift: Israel sidelined. Palestine monetized. Iran folded into the plan. This is the soft launch of Abraham Accords 2.0—and most of the world missed it.

<span;>Bitcoin, meanwhile, isn’t just rising—it’s being adopted by sovereign states. Coinbase joins the S&P 500. Ukraine and Brazil prepare national BTC reserves. Abu Dhabi is quietly accumulating via BlackRock.

<span;>The world is realigning. The dollar is dying. And Bitcoin is becoming the foundation of the Multipolar…

Sudden bad news, I’m finding away to help my son in law to get to Sequim Wa where his mother just passed. His father was a Chaplin in the Air Force well known  ” Republican” too but don’t talk about it to politicians including Reagan. She was a super Christian and nice person. The doctors were shocked by unexpected heart damage She had. I was concerned about the Covid jab for one. As bad as it was I’m surprised she didn’t have symptoms.. With her husband terminal I’m guessing she took it. Not saying that’s it but something happened they did but expect.

Son in law doesn’t have real ID yet so having my daughter not the one in the accident check out Amtrak. He can get there in less than 24 hrs FYI for sudden emergencys.

Germany Makes “Sea-Change Policy Shift” On Nuclear Power In Europe

Three weeks after widespread power grid failures across Portugal and Spain, triggered by unreliable solar and wind power, Germany appears to be sharply recalibrating its energy stance.

In a notable policy shift, the new conservative government under Chancellor Friedrich Merz has reversed its longstanding opposition to nuclear power. The move reflects a growing understanding in Berlin that overreliance on unreliable solar and wind power generation poses serious risks to economic stability and energy security. The shift also signals a broader return to common-sense energy policymaking in Europe, with nuclear power increasingly viewed as critical in France in achieving reliable, low-carbon power generation.

“Mark Levin”

I’ll check him out.

Do you ever listen to Mark Levin. I occasionally watch part of it. He was on a rant about Qatar. I must of got in the last of it but saying they fund terrorism. I thought that was Iran as far as Israel. He knows not to mention Trump so was asking we the people of what I don’t know. I didn’t need the drama just news. Then I saw Simon coming out with a rant about Qatar too. I didn’t watch it. Yet Everyone out for their own interest and thats politics. And they’re worried about disarming citizens? Who disarms them?

Good for Kash.

Oil fields burning in the mid east, oil and minerals in Ukraine, all of a sudden inviting them no NATO, now pulling away from Israel, to focus on Ukraine, chips in Taiwan Pelosi on the job  instigating trouble when demos were in charge.

working overtime to keep the 10 year & 30 year yields from going much higher

That’s often the case!

Seems like when the US or NATO suddenly gets interested in someplace, they should know to prepare for war.

Kash Patel is sounding the alarm on the Federal Reserve! He’s urging everyone to wake up and realize the Fed isn’t a public institution—it’s a PRIVATE entity! Run by the elite robber barons who built this, they’re rigging the currency game for their own gain!

Hopefully that’s right.

Isn’t that strange since not much of that money seems to be benefiting us and certain people seem to be more worried about China and Taiwan than China and Taiwan.

For equities after downgrade  but all commodities are up except Pal. Besides gold commodities isn’t a bad outlook for the economies. I wonder if institutional will be buying the dips.
