BITCOIN

[Weather Man]

It's not about protecting YOU

YOU buying lottery tickets is a straight forward well regulated transaction. You WILL get your tickets and you WILL get paid if you win.

There are many aspects of crypto you can't say that about. It is ironic that as BITCOIN moves on, only the big boys play on the totally protected level 1, the peons get to play elsewhere.

Taxing unrealized capital gains will destroy the stock market. I doubt they will get that passed but you never know with all the corruption in DC and their attempts to actually destroy the USA intentionally. We might start seeing dead politicians if they go that far I would think.

I was in the not likely to get through camp until I realized the D's are literally trying to destroy TX with an immigrant flood, nothing is off the table for them.

But your chances of winning a lottery ticket is so small that you are almost guaranteed to lose it all. Only a select few supposedly win it. Would be hilarious if they were paid actors and that nobody really wins it. A few lottery winner also ended up dead I recall.

No, the government officials don't care about people or saving lives. They are cockroaches. But I return the favor. I don't care about them either. They can go **** themselves.

It isn't about winning or losing with the lottery, it is about the integrity of the process.

A major scandal recently rocked the Multi-State Lottery Association, resulting in jail time for a former security director who allegedly fixed an Iowa game to win the $16.5 million jackpot. Edward Tipton allegedly used his position to his advantage, installing undetectable, self-destructing software to rig the numbers in his favor. A further investigation revealed that Tipton reportedly might have done the same thing in four other states. He was found guilty of tampering with lottery equipment and sentenced to 10 years in prison. Tipton denied that he had purchased the ticket.

Despite catching Tipton (and the fact that his conviction had to do with computer-generated numbers, not physical numbers on balls like the Powerball has), not everything is rosy for those playing the lotto. Due to the fact that the choice of numbers rose from 59 to 69 options, the odds of winning are now even worse. That might not matter if you buy into any of these conspiracy theories, however.

Bustle has reached out to Powerball officials for comment on the legitimacy of the game.

Is The Powerball Rigged? 6 Conspiracy Theories That Claim The Game Isn't What It Seems

When most people think about lottery conspiracy theories, the first thing that usually comes to mind is the curse that purportedly plagues the big winners. Those who take home millions supposedly face tragic circumstances and personal and…

instead of being invested in its failure.

I’ve legit never seen someone so invested in something they won’t invest in

SEC's Gary Gensler likens stablecoins to poker chips at Wild West casinos: WSJ

• Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler, who previously taught a class on cryptocurrency at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, doesn't see much long-term viability for "five or six thousand private forms of money," the Wall Street Journal reports, he said in a virtual event at the Washington Post.
• "In the meantime I think it's worthwhile to have an investor-protection regime placed around this," Gensler added.
• He relates the thousands of cryptos in existence with the wildcat banking era that took place in the U.S. from 1837 until 1863. Without federal bank regulations at the time, banks issued their own currencies.
• Speaking of crypto, Bitcoin ((BTC-USD -4.6%)) slides to $41.8K on Tuesday, marking an intraday low at $40K.
• He also takes aim at stablecoins like Tether (USDT-USD) and USD Coin (USDC-USD), which are pegged at a one-to-one ratio to the dollar and are claimed to be backed by high quality assets.
• "We've got a lot of casinos here in the Wild West, and the poker chip is these stablecoins at the casino gaming tables," Gensler said.
• Previously, (Sept. 13) SEC's Gary Gensler says crypto is 'rife with fraud, scams, and abuse'.
• In early August, Gensler also said crypto is a speculative asset class that needs more regulation.

Sidestep? Just pointing out it is not as straight forward a transaction...

In case you weren't aware, 5mos /= 1 year.

Also, can you imagine those poor saps that bought BTC at the top of the last cycle on Dec. 18, 2017? Those unlucky SOB's never got their money back...

285% on Bitcoin

226% on Lite.
