The best thing about crypto/blockchain mania is that folks from all walks of life suddenly get all excited about accounting, databases, and elliptical curve cryptography..
Libertarians telling other people what name they can and can't use to refer to the system they created to defeat censorship of a reddit group, without even the slightest sense of irony.

If you have a lot of crypto, and also significant debt, strongly consider selling some crypto at these all-time highs and paying down debt (completely if possible). Corollary: don't go into debt to buy crypto at these prices.
There's a fear going on that the recent price rise was helped by printing of USDT (Tether) that is not backed by USD in a bank account.
I urge @bitfinex and @tether to perform a 3rd party audit to prove their reserves. Please do the right thing. Thanks.
In Bitcoin, I'm thankful for:
1. The developers who strengthen the software
2. The hodlers who amplify the store of value property
3. The community who protect the network through shared values
Thank you for making civilization better through sound money.
