Eight Things Cryptocurrency Enthusiasts Probably Won’t Tell You
This is a long article and gets technical. But it is a MUST read if you are remotely interested in this Bitcoin crypto currency shit. I recommend to stay the F*CK away! Just a glimpse of this article, a well researched epic take down of this shit! Final TBB warning: Beware the crypto shit!
…the goal of this article is to elevate awareness that this industry lacks even the most basic safeguards and independent voices that would typically act as a counterbalance against bad actors. In this FOMO atmosphere investors need to be on full alert of the inherent risks of a less than transparent market with less than accurate information from companies and even news specialists.
We are still at the eff-you-money stage, in which everyone thinks they are Warren Buffett.85 The Madoffs will only be revealed during the next protracted downturn. So if you’re currently getting your cryptocurrency investment advice from permabull personalities on Youtube, LinkedIn, and Twitter with undisclosed positions and abnormally high like-to-comment ratios, you might eventually be a bag holder.
Peak Asshole 2017
After that deep crypto bitcoin related article above, how about something more entertaining hey? An interview with a guy who is a true asshole thought leader!
We are living in a world full of assholes. To be sure: There are no census figures to back this up, no national registry from which to draw statistics, but one need only look at the headlines to see that the asshole population has not only grown in recent years but also spawned some new and rather alarming mutants. I mean, Martin Shkreli? Travis Kalanick? PewDiePie?
His favorite strategy for coping with assholes comes from a Stanford administrator whose equanimity Sutton always admired. “I never could figure out why he was so serene in the face of certain assholes, especially in particular a petty tyrant we have in our midst. But what he does is he pretends when people are nasty that he’s a doctor who specializes in studying assholism. And he says to himself, ‘Oh, what a fascinating subject or specimen. I can’t believe how lucky I am to see this close up,’ which is funny, because I guess that’s partly who I am.”

The First Totally Honest Stock Market Story
I think this HILARIOUS take on all the garbage financial media throws out every day to the masses is a MUST read. If you don’t laugh, I don’t know, maybe something is wrong with you? I think this is from personal finance wrriter Jason Zweig. But if I am wrong, please correct me! Enjoy!
No link in the headline, I found it on Twitter I think.?
An explanation of the ethnic cleansing of Myanmar’s Rohingya Muslims
Well, this is a lot in the news lately. And you thought you have problems? Short 5 minute video that explains what is going in very clear terms. Very educational. Two things I would like to add: 1) I had seen some mention of a Rohingya terrorist group and this video expands a little on it, and 2) So ridiculous of Aung San Suu Kyi to stand up and proclaim that more than 50% of the Rohingya villages are intact, WTF! Most undeserved Peace Prize winner than…Obama! Hmm, not sure the word undeserved is correct here, any English majors?
And I leave you with this…Goes very well with the Peak Asshole link hehe.

Can I be the first wrong asshole, dude?
Of course! How does it feel? Golden?
The stock market story is wonderful.
It is…especially when you realize it was published many many years ago. I think early 90s or late 80s #wildguess
It is not different this time 🙂
Mentions Clinton admin so 1992 or later! Get with the program George! 😉
Good catch!
I was not that far off 🙂
Thanks!
If you’re late to the cryptocurrency bubble, you can try the AI bubble. Sadly there aren’t enough publicly traded companies in that space, yet.
Within a month, a small shop $VERI quickly went from $100M market cap to $900M.
Oops, did the bubble pop yesterday? Down 25%.

Do we have a bubble in bubbles? 🙂
Got an email from reader who thanked me for shaming VFTW into avoiding so much cc & Kardashian click bait blog posts. I told him give it a few more days 🙂
Looks like 2nd straight month this blog can’t even hit 10 cc apps per month to come a little close to making minimum wage.
I promised Mrs. TBB that three months straight and we are down to 3 posts per week. And eventually getting this baby to a weekly rant to equate it with the time spent on producing it.
Enjoy it while it lasts.
I am not going to turn into a business and pimp myself out like the Titans. It was never my intention. Just wanted to get some pocket money so I don’t get so deflated every time I look into what it brought in.
I just need to spend less time here…
I am going to miss TBB the most 🙂
P.S. Smile Ingy
Titans win, sad!
Approved through your link for HH surpass card. Now you only need 9 more this month:)
Thanks for all you do!
I actually need five more and it’s not going to happen in the next 3 days most likely. My wife was #1. She is always #1 🙂
Thanks.
Your twitter pal did indeed find a way to attack ESA for yesterdays shocking SW dragging video. Although it really was more of a pushing than dragging video.
Couple links you may like:

Also, 1800Contacts is doing free contact lens RX renewals, this needs more coverage. Optometrist are such a scam, I’ve been wearing contacts since the 90’s yet have to pay for a fitting every year so they can get the extra $40 WTF. Ten minutes of my life at $0 and I have a 1-year new contact lens RX.
The Hipster vs Hasidic video is hilarious, thank you! And the other link is very cool too.
I used to use 1800contracts. Ever since wife moved to Ford we are using the Vision insurance which turns out to be a good deal as well. Going to check if they have an affiliate link woohoo!
You had me at Asshole 2017
Added the 4 Amex Delta credit card offers to the list! No time to go over the rest, they should still be okay.

Good luck, keep the faith!
Buenas noches! Great links. Loved the “taking profits” bit. Such a bullshit
Aung San Suu Kyi should be stripped of the Nobel prize for this ethnic cleansing and the Myanmar’s govt to be labelled as Murderers. They are raping, killing, decapitating, burning women/children there..
Cryptocurrency. Eh. Perfectly safe. So the hackers say…
About as legit as those online poker sites.
