Round 3: Golden Reiter. Bam, on the nose is that distinctive quince - perfumy, floral, odd. Taste is sharp and mouth puckering, almost Haribo Tangfastics.

Who are these people who want their faces recognized and cross-referenced everywhere they go by every marketing firm and agency out there? Because that’s the world that people building this technology are creating.

Do they actually want to live in it? I’m confused.

Bitcoin’s market cap is $130 billion but a $200 million sell order makes it crash by 10%.
I guess that should be a clue as to how many of you suckers will be able to actually cash out.
Enjoy you paper profits!
