Ones And Zeroes

Money has to be the most marketable commodity, not lines of code on a hard drive. Investors in the latter are finding that out the hard way.

Bitcoin is now down 24% this year and remains roughly 47% below its October all-time high.

The largest failure so far this year has been Blockfills, a midsize prime broker that halted deposits and withdrawals earlier this month amid the decline in bitcoin prices.

 

Gradually, Then Suddenly

Now, factor in the crash coming to vacation condos in Mexico.

Featured Comment

There were lots of great comments to this post yesterday, but this one from ‘The Phantom’ really stood out:

“…showed as much fire over the gradual loss of your rights, the destruction of your economy, worsening of your quality of life, and the state sanctioned murder of your own people…”

If you mention any of those four things to most Canadians living in urban areas, they will look at you like you’re insane.

Fire? They don’t even NOTICE. They’ve never f-ing noticed, and I’ve been seeing this sh1t since I was maybe 25? 26? And everybody denies it all day long, every f-ing day.

You can’t get ahead in Canada. Not since 1979. I got ahead by moving to AMERICA, making a bunch of money, and then moving back -with money- to get me far enough up the ladder they couldn’t knock me off again.

Now of course not only you can’t get ahead, you can’t stay level. Slipping back, one handhold at a time. But they’re still denying it, every day. Elbows up, you know.

That’s why a hockey game matters to them but MAiD doesn’t make it to their radar. Or Covid, or payijng >50% taxes, or guys getting fined $750K for mentioning that there’s only XX and XY. Keeping up appearances, not stepping out of line, gotta fit in you know.

That’s why I live in the sticks and don’t talk to anybody. It’s better this way, my liver isn’t being destroyed one cell at a time by trying to fit in with idiots.

The Latest from México

This morning, on SiriusXM’s Patriot radio, Mike Slater had on his Breitbart colleague, Brandon Darby, who is a journalist focused on documenting the cartels.

Based on what Darby described in detail, this recent upsurge of violence in México can technically be blamed on Trump, but I don’t mean that in a bad way. The Trump Administration was fed up with the endless, decades long violence and corruption south of the border and decided to do something about it. Yes, there is going to be ongoing violence for a period of time, but what’s the alternative? Let El Mencho and other gangsters control the people of México forever?! According to the likes of many Democrats and Canadians I know, that is the preferable route because actually trying to regain the rule of law is “too extreme”.

When good men & women refuse to stand up to bad actors, society deteriorates. This is what has happened in Canada, in Vancouver, in California, and in San Francisco. To date, the majority of folks in these places have refused to stand up against the destructive forces. If one “dares” disagree with this deterioration, years can be spent trying to fight back, or one can leave and find sanity elsewhere.

A Hard Pill to Swallow

This recent post by an American who regularly worked in Canada caught my eye.

As a Canadian who has lived & worked in America for about a dozen years, I wanted to share some thoughts of my own. Before I say anything though, I need to state the obvious: If you’re a small “c” conservative, an SDA regular, etc., I am NOT talking about YOU!!!  I’ve met several of you in person and you’re all outstanding people! Kate is one of the most amazing women I’ve ever had the good fortune to meet! OMG if all Canadian women were even 50% as based & pragmatic as her, our home & native land would be thriving and not a WEF / Laurentian Elite psychological lab experiment.

With that clearly stated, let me share some thoughts and you all can let me know if I’m completely wrong, exaggerating, or just maybe onto something . . .

More chaos here on the account of @LaPaginaNegraMX·

Spreading violence: … vehicles and businesses being set on fire in Mexico’s major tourist centers Cancún, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, and Cozumel.

NYT: Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as “El Mencho,” was the head of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel and widely regarded as one of the country’s most violent criminal figures.

I just learned I have family members there at the moment, so pretty concerned.
