Almost all cryptocurrencies in the Top 30 are on sale today! ...Buy buy buy!
5% discount on Bitcoin, 9% on Steem and 15% discount on MaidSafeCoin :-)
But remember to keep some money for the weekend. You never know if we go even lower!
And if not... Buy a beer and enjoy your weekend! :-)

"Governments will close down bitcoin and cryptocurrencies if they get too big. It's creating something out of nothing that to me is worth nothing, It will end badly.", Jamie Dimon said.
No big news, just a banker. Nothing to worry about.
Here is what Western Union wrote in an internal memo back in 1876:
"This 'telephone' has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication. The device is inherently of no value to us."
