Bitcoin is up over 800% in the last 10 quarters. It would take more than 8 years to deliver the same results if you were compounding money at 30% year-over-year. Detractors hate math, but Bitcoin continues to be the best investment of the last decade 🔥

The last time Bitcoin rose above $9,000: Fidelity wasn't storing it. Congress wasn't fighting it. Bakkt wasn't launching with it. Microsoft wasn't building on it. TD Ameritrade wasn't trading it. Whole Foods wasn't accepting it. Facebook wasn't competing with it.

While Facebook's Libra doesn't compete against any open, public, permissionless, borderless, neutral, censorship-resistant blockchains, it *will* compete against both retail banks and central banks. This is going to be fun to watch.

Just FYI: The ICO, IEO, "influencer marketing", endorsement, "advisor" etc emails and DMs have started flooding in again. People are offering me (and many others) $25k to $250k for endorsement, review, tweets etc. I say no, many say yes. SCAMS are coming. Be careful.

This week in crypto: 1. Bitcoin breaks $11k 2. Facebook announces Libra 3. Coinmine launches Bitcoin mode 4. Bitmain planning US IPO 5. Lightning Labs launch mobile app 6. Bitcoin still not dead :) THE VIRUS IS SPREADING! 🔥

Coinbase is down. Bitcoin is never down.

Yes Tim, yes. Dear god yes.

JPMorgan owns a ship that was just seized by US Customs because it had $1 billion of drugs on it. $1,000,000,000 of drugs on a single ship. But Bitcoin is bad and the criminals should be stopped! 😂

BAM!

David Marcus will be the only person in the world to defend digital currencies on Tuesday in front of the most powerful group of lawmakers in history to hold a hearing on this new technology. One man trying to explain why and how the world is changing. What a time to be alive.

Hedera Hasgraph is now the #7 largest cryptocurrency in terms of valuation (Y2050 fully diluted market cap). Most investors are of the impression that HH is a paradigm shift in DLT tech when in reality it's just doing the classic trick of trading off validation for throughput.

WOW. The Fedearl Reserve has injected over $100 billion into the financial system in the last 48 hours. That is more than 50% of the total market cap of Bitcoin. Rather than fix the structural issues, they keep trying to print their way out of the mess. Bitcoin rocket fuel 🚀
