Hello Preparedwombat! I used to know you back on the old Steemit platform, but I have since dropped off in my participation in any of these sites. I've recently started exploring again and see that you

Well, if your patttern calculations are true, that's going to be bad news for some people. Actually, a lot of people, as it wasn't that long ago that many were predicting a $100k or more price target by

Yeah, normally that's true. These aren't normal times, however. I believe we'll be shooting at each other before that. That little shit show in Congress today shows that there is little respect for the

All good points. The only thing is, I think we are heading right into a global conflaguration, and right quick. Derp Furor seems to be wanting to destroy Murika's reputation and strong holds around the

I agree that being decentralized, there is no real mechanism that could prevent cryptos from being absorbed into the existing system. But there were and are crypto influencers who, more for their personal

I think most will come to regret that BTC got involved with traditional trading platforms, exchanges and such. The whole point of crypto, at least in my opinion, was to break the back of government controlled

Well, PW, looks like you are getting screwed by the hijinks that goes on here. I lost the taste for Steemit last year after I bought in for around $3/STEEM, just to see it plummet to below a dollar. Before

A fine and noble tribute to Wolfhart. I didn't know of him, but read some of his posts from just a short week ago. Obviously a man of courage, love and humor. Those traits are rare these days, and make

Educational toys are the best. When I was a kid there was an old Texas Instruments toy, I forget its name, that taught us to spell and another toy we could program directional commands into and then it

Very sleek design. Is this in design, prototyping or production? It doesn't seem to have a place for a large enough battery or powerful enough motors within the wheels. But if it's in production and working,

My thoughts EXACTLY. That kangaroo would make short work of this little twerp. And if the kangaroo wanted to take the high road, I wouldn't mind stepping in and taking a few redeeming swipes at him...

You did your research on this one. Excellent information to be sure. Although being high on Alexa ratings is no doubt important, I think that making the site easier for newbies (registration, navigation,

Fascism, both the concept and word itself, were invented by Mussolini. He felt that "Corporatism" was a more apropos word for his idea of the ideal state wherein corporations and government banded
