Mark 13: 2 And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

“I advise you to buy from me gold (Bitcoin) refined by fire (Energy) that you may become rich.” (Revelation 3:18a) A recent article called "Bitcoin is Time" made the case that Bitcoin is essentially a clock. (Father Time aka GOD) Buying bitcoin from god refined by fire to become rich. Spiritually rich. Not with yellow rocks but “rich toward God.” (Luke 12:21) Here is an illustration Jesus once offered to the people of Israel: How to be "rich toward God"? Saint Paul explained what that gold is when he told Timothy to give orders to wealthy Christians “to work at good, to be rich in fine works, to be liberal, ready to share, safely tre…

Bitcoin took just 12 years from its creation to reach a trillion-dollar market cap. It took Microsoft 45 years and Google 22 years to reach the $1,000,000,000,000 mark!!! When Bitcoin is at $80.6K, it will have passed the Market cap of Silver. How long do you think til that happens?

Cash is being diluted by a few % per year. Since they have many billions in cash this small % comes in the form of millions and even tens of millions of dollars worth of dilution for them. This cash dilution has been going on for decades and typically in these cases large corps would look to treasury bonds. They essentially purchase these “same as cash” US Treasury bonds and keep those which increase a few % per year. And the growth on those bonds offsets the loss on their pure cash and all is well with the world. This year however there was a change. The interest rate in treasury bonds is near 0% so they don’t have anything to offset their cash dilution. Compou…

Bank of New York Mellon, the nation's oldest bank, is making the leap into the market for cryptocurrencies. The custody bank said Thursday it will hold, transfer and issue bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies on behalf of its asset-management clients. In time, BNY Mellon will allow those digital assets to pass through the same plumbing used by managers' other, more traditional holdings.

Goldman Sachs has issued a request for information (RFI) to explore digital asset custody, according to a source inside the bank. The RFI was circulated to at least one well-known crypto custody player toward the end of 2020. The bank's digital assets initiative is "part of a broad digital strategy," the source said. https://www.coindesk.com/goldman-sachs-to-enter-crypto-market-soon-with-custody-play-source

Men are a misunderstood lot, which all in all is probably for the best. Women are better off not knowing that we eat with our hands the minute they leave the room or that we use their nail clippers to trim our nose hair. Better for them, better for us. Still, it's annoying that women spend more time and money trying to understand the minds of cats than they do wondering about what makes men tick. Which is why they'll never understand...Our consuming need to own the biggest and most expensive version of just about everything.Our compulsive desire to drive off-road vehicles in cities and use corkscrews that resemble offshore drilling equipment is well documented. As marketi…

Secretary Pompeo Remarks at State Department Secretary of State Mike Pompeo held a briefing with reporters to address several foreign policy issues. He began with expressing condolences to New Zealand in wake of shootings at two mosques.

One of the largest firearms sellers in the U.S. is moving further away from...firearms. Some background: Just over a year ago, Dick’s CEO Edward Stack learned the Parkland gunman once bought a gun from Dick’s. While that wasn’t the gun he used to kill 17 people last year, Stack was shaken. That’s why he’s made it harder to buy guns at Dick’s—and why he’s pressured Congress to pass gun safety measures. Dick’s tested the fewer-guns approach in 10 stores last year. And if the expansion announced yesterday is successful, Dick’s will move to implement the same changes at more locations next year. While Stack’s approach has invited both support and criticism…

Yesterday, Facebook’s CEO posted a manifesto outlining plans for a seismic shift in strategy—one toward encrypted, private, and ephemeral communication. Instead of focusing on the kind of publicly shared content that 1) made Facebook worth hundreds of billions and 2) continues to haunt you in your “On This Day” feature, Facebook will become a “privacy-focusedcommunications platform.” The motive: People increasingly want to communicate privately or in smaller groups instead of “the digital equivalent of a town square,” Zuck said. Don’t believe him? Poll your 10 group chats. And to adapt to that evolution, Facebook (+0.73%) will rebuild many of its features. …

So I'm using my Personal Hotspot from my iPhone to get internet connectivity on my iMac and MacBook Air. I can do so either through Wifi or Bluetooth. My wifi tends to not want to connect "automatically" without turning the on/off switch a couple times on the Personal Hotspot (wifi) so I just connected via Bluetooth hoping I can bypass all this connection lag. Next question though is .... Is Bluetooth slower than Wifi? or vice-versa? Just curious if anyone on here knew for sure or could explain it. Thx in advance.

In the new HBO documentary Leaving Neverland, both men accuse the late singer of sexual abuse.
