Steems, What do we think?
The Wall Street Journal for the last few weeks consistently spoke about new ICO's, the exposition of the price in Ether/Bitcoin, and even an article describing the success of miners. Bitcoin even had some free media air time yesterday when Janet Yellen was speaking to the House Financial Services Committee.. A 'CRYPTO PIONEER' was sitting behind Mrs. Yellen and acted when he had a gold opportunity at his finger tips. The guy wrote a hand made sign saying, "Buy Bitcoin". He was quickly kicked out, but we need more people like him!....... Wink-Wink Steemians:)

Todays article in the Wall Street journal had a different tone. It was about how Mark Karpeles, the owner of Mt. Gox, was beginning his criminal trial in Toyota. His platform was hacked three years earlier, and had 750,000 bitcoins removed off there platform! Just imagine that amount of money....Go ahead and do the math.
Mark Karpeles plead that he did nothing wrong and he was wronged in the transaction as well. Out of the 750,000 coins, Marks company owned 100,000 of them.
This is one reason why I always stress to hold your coins offline or at least in a secure wallet. Thank you for viewing, and remember.....KEEP STEEMING and 3% off Genenis-Mining.com use code "xbuJQz"
