$23,200 as of 7:30am this morning...And no one is even excited yet...lol...I'm not sure anyone understands the magnitude of Bitcoin breaking back into Price Discovery after being called "a bubble" and "dead" in 2018.

Today was definitely a good day for my crypto holdings. Told my buddy that when Bitcoin gets to a million i'm buying a 2020 GT500.

It is interesting to read about all the competitors. They say their coin takes less time and power to "mine". So does that mean they are worth 50%? Sea shells and beads had value at one point, humans are strange.

No...most of the coins that are not Bitcoin (they are called Alt-coins) are not really decentralized and a lot of the initial supply was "given" to the founders of the coin...they call it "pre-mine". I supposed it's possible that another coin emerge and takes over....but the fact that Bitcoin was the first mover, has incredible built in principles/properties, and the hash power and money already placed into the Bitcoin Network makes it king for a long long time i think.

Is Bitcoin more decentralized? Not sure about that...

66% Of Bitcoin’s Hash Rate Is Controlled By China, 54% Coming From A Single Province

Hmmm, China will build cities no one lives in. I wonder how big a warehouse(s) and how many quantum super computers they would be willing to pack in to "race" "mine" ?

Well, I’m up grand now, no lambo but great to be out of the red this far...haha. I’ll probably never sell but the thought starts to cross your mind when you wonder if it is going to level out or drop like last time.

Ethereum punched through 700 today. I am hoping for a new all time high for Ethereum. Hopefully it will gain back some ground with Bitcoin. I would love to convert some ETH for BTC when the ratio is better.

Purely from an investment standpoint, if you bought at 14.5 you should sell immediately.

I'm starting to question the idea that we will see multiple 30% pullbacks on the way to a blow-off top....There might be too much buy pressure from these institutional funds to allow for a massive correction.

If you had the worst timing on earth and bought the exact top of the 2017 bull market and didn't sell, you would be up almost 47% today, for an annualized return of almost 14%.
