    Seems like gold is always the refuge from other areas... When other investments go down, gold is where the money flows...Cheers, RickO

    they don't know what they want they just need to do something !!!!

    A guy i once worked for as a framer hated to see people not moving . He would yell "Do something even if its wrong! "

    That an investment strategy Just do something even if its wrong, don't just stand there , at least you will generate money for the middlemen and the irs

    I've seen it in the stock market too. Its not important if you make money as long as you have a good story to tell at parties.

    Had no doubt they would be coming back. Too bad they sold real assets for $10K+ imaginary digits in the first place but as the saying goes; "Education ain't cheap!"

    The whole worlds off its rocker, buy Gold™.

    I thought the crypto thing was stupid all along and still do. No offense meant to other members, but I never liked it.

    Agree. Bitcoin is invisible, make believe, fake money.

    Nobody ever explained how bitcoin was supposed to be totally anonymous and non-trackable, especially after it became apparent that gains from bitcoin transactions could indeed be tracked and taxed.

    After the attempt by the government to force the issuance of a 1099 for every transaction over $600, bitcoin looked attractive as a way to fight back against excessive bureaucratic overreach and oppressive government control over every private transaction.

    Bitcoin also looked attractive as a low-cost and somewhat secure way to avoid banking system fees. It still does, but there are too many weak points to justify getting involved, including the possibility that the government and banks will both eventually be behind any financial transaction system that uses blockchain.

    It's a never-ending attempt to tax and charge a fee for every single private transaction that ever takes place, by people who have no other qualification or purpose than to siphon energy from the work that other people actually do.
