the price of bitcoin

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2017.12.18

Adrian in Japan sent an interesting link to the writings of a bitcoin skeptic. His work surely shines some light into all the weird dark corners of this thing.

Sometimes I make comments on this journal of mine that I read ten years later, and say, wow, there's a blast from the past. Somehow I think bitcoin's going to be more Segway or maybe "where's the beef" or even "Convoy" than, say, This New Internet Thing.

rand()m quote

For a long time I was very bitter that the people who controlled the means of anybody ever hearing my songs were never gonna play them. They only favored music that I specifically and particularly hated, and I wanted them dead. Suddenly, there was another avenue. I started hearing my stuff coming out of bars and then it started to happen little by little -- a movie song here or a TV ad there.
