Is the ‘crypto’ industry just another ‘mistake’ — ‘creating wealth’ while producing nothing…gobbling up huge amounts of time and money, and ultimately reducing the amount of capital available?
I would guess your spectral lights are actually from one of those projectors people can put in front of their house to put on a light show for the holiday season. Seems a little early, I guess, but that's what they appear to be. Especially in the way they can skitter up, down and sideways.
Completely agree with your observations regarding crypto and corruption. You omitted the biggest shakedown yet - the request for the Justice Dept to find a way to reimburse The Big Man $230 million for unfair investigation into his alleged illegal acts. It feels to this aging Boomer that the U.S. is careening down a mountain road without brakes. Best case is to steer the car into the mountain and hope the injuries are survivable. Other option is to go over the cliff to certain death.
Ah, yes. "Careening down a mountain road without brakes..." as Trump deregulates the economy, allows energy production from various sources including nuclear, unabashedly fights against the idiotic climate change/global warming/CO2 garbage whose sole purpose is to control our energy in order to control us, brings manufacturing back to the USA as well as investments, stops millions from pouring over our borders, ad nauseum. Yes, we are in real trouble. If we could only dream how wonderful it would be under a Kamala Harris presidency.
John, note that I did not criticize the actions you identify nor did I embrace Biden or Harris. Rather than dealing in false equivalencies, perhaps you could address the points I raised about blatant, flagrant self-dealing? Inflaming the deficit? Ponder what this Administration taking a higher road rather than one of retribution would look like.
Spare me. You stated how we are careening down a mountain road by citing selective info and ignoring what I consider much more important info. So, I pushed back. I acknowledge that Trump is not perfect, but he is much better than the alternative. Your comments above lack that perspective.
Careening down the road on the left, or careening down the road on the right, is still careening. You’re so f’n loyal to the right you don’t see the truth. As you always seem to suggest to writers on the is blog, time to pull you head out of your ass.
Ah! Wes T - an intellectual "tour de force". And not one comment about the reasons I gave for replying to Agent225. The truth? Tell me some truth Wes T. I gave some of mine and have been doing so for years. What are yours?
We all hope the current administration can overcome our problems. Ok some things they are doing seem good, others not so good. Let’s hope us plebs just don’t see the big picture.
Who needs an argument, when yours is purely about the lesser of two evils. Sorry, but neither one overcomes our problems, one may just be faster than the other.
It amazes me of the number of people that read Bill and at the same time "can't stand or don't agree" with anything he writes about. Don't you have better things to do with your time?
Agree or not, I still want to read what he offers. I can draw my own conclusions. I have been with Bonner in one form or another since the late 90s, so I have seen better times with and more questionable times with him. We both come from the same place, which is, not liking the government taking off into fantasy land with fiat money. Best always. PM
Those little lights flitting around your trees are Free Cryptos. They escaped from their electric bondage.
If you place a magnet on your porch, you should be able to give sanctuary to them.
Warning: If they escaped from the Big Man's batch, he'll a-come looking for them no doubt at night in a large black vehicle with massive magnets.
If you see a vehicle with this description, and if the driver and whomever is in the right seat are wearing masks like ICE, then you can be certain they are the CCC (Crypto Capture Crew).
You could be in trouble if, by hiding your magnet, you keep the CCC from seizing the Free Cryptos.
So 65 million for a book, a normal Dem scam for doing their bidding is the same as selling people a PRODUCT? TDS will not leave you alone Bill and I'm sorry! You were on to something just focusing on the actual scumbags who got us here and it was NOT Donald Trump, in my lowly, simple opinion.
Graft, nepotism, insider trading and shenanigans. Trump beat Biden at that too. And where is the celebration from MAGA? They got what they voted for, right?
Haha, Steve, Your "graft, nepotism, insider trading, and shenanigans" reminds me of the 70s novelty song, "Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Mitchell, and Dean" on the charts in 1973 during the good, old Watergate days. We're so far gone today, that the Watergate break-in that created such a tsunami in the day would scarely even register on anyone's ITIS (tsunami-rating) today. Best always. PM
There was another good one from the late 80s by DJ Jim Zippo (Zippo in the Morning out of Dallas, TX, I believe) wherein Zippo satirized Donald Trump's first divorce in a ditty called "Ivana Wants My Cash" to the tune of "I Want to Hold Your Hand", but when DJT ran for president in 2016, I tried to find it, but could not. It seems to have disappeared. Perhaps DJT bought it and buried it? Best always. PM
My dad told me the saying was from the Great Depression when he was a kid. He survived on his own selling pencils, newspapers and apples on the streets of NYC. Apparently people would try to pay with nickels made of wood occasionally.
Wow, your dad sounds like he was a tough kid. I guess a lot of kids had to be back then. But I still don’t get what the other guy said about the dermatologist thing. Is it a joke?
Crypto or gold!! We'll see which one is "standing" in the end when the crap finally hits the fan. Those people that could afford to buy crypto and sell before those electrical coins prove rather elusive, as compared to gold, should be very thankful. I may be wrong but it's hard to see how the average person will be able to use crypto coins to buy food, gas or basic necessities with electrical crypto coins. I'm sure you youngsters can explain how this will work in the future.
I can't explain it beyond saying that, so far, I've taken BTC gains as they come around and immediately turned them into Gold Maple Leaves. So far, so good.....
Brother SE, I consumed a couple Ekrich cheddar/jalapeno smoked sausages this AM, while thinking of you (as promised). Check the obits in a day or so... Best always. PM
Crypto’s have no intrinsic value … hence if not a currency… what is it? If it is a currency it is merely more fiat (albeit digital) chasing the same goods and services. And, that translates to ‘INFLATION.’
If Bongo Bill wasn't so saturated with TDS, I might believe some of his accusations against Trump concerning crypto. But under present circumstances, I can't take any of this seriously since Bongo doesn't back up any of his comments. And if all crypto is going to zero anyway.... Yes, we all know Trump is pro-crypto and may have received political contributions from the crypto industry, but beyond that, do you have a crime that he could be prosecuted for?
Your comments concerning the lights outside your bedroom window are the closest you've come to reality in a long time.
I’m not a fan of Crypto but I must make note of the fact that the Bonner portfolio had recommended a 1% stake in Crypto during the Biden administration. What happened? Did Trump make you see the error of your ways? He does have that effect as he makes it his policy to mimic those tactics used by others - only to far greater heights. Here we see crypto and Lawfare, just to cite two such instances. Let the games begin….or continue, as the case may be.

Perhaps insects swirling outside the window?

His use of the word "Retribution" gives him away.
Justice for crimes committed is not Retribution - unless you're a Trump-hating leftarde.....
"Eggzactly". Retribution, revenge, etc. Nothing said about the validity of the charges or what the left did to Trump over the past eight years.
Which the Agent so obviously is

He won’t drive up. He will blow up your house. No questions asked!
Bill, I enjoy your commentary but you forgot a family that has prospered via crypto, the Bonner family. You used to write about it.
Jim C.
Exactly! He’s hilarious
So 65 million for a book, a normal Dem scam for doing their bidding is the same as selling people a PRODUCT? TDS will not leave you alone Bill and I'm sorry! You were on to something just focusing on the actual scumbags who got us here and it was NOT Donald Trump, in my lowly, simple opinion.
Calling out grift isn’t TDS, it’s not being blind. What product? Give me a break, it’s a scam. And I don’t say that about all cryptos.
Graft, nepotism, insider trading and shenanigans. Trump beat Biden at that too. And where is the celebration from MAGA? They got what they voted for, right?
Biden was brain dead. He couldnt cut a deck of cards.

Whatever happened to wooden nickels?
My dad always parted ways with me by saying "Don't take any wooden nickels in....."
Haha, my dermatologist used the same line. Must have been a "thing" in the day. Best always. PM
I don’t get it. Did “wooden nickels” do something to your skin?
My dad told me the saying was from the Great Depression when he was a kid. He survived on his own selling pencils, newspapers and apples on the streets of NYC. Apparently people would try to pay with nickels made of wood occasionally.
Wow, your dad sounds like he was a tough kid. I guess a lot of kids had to be back then. But I still don’t get what the other guy said about the dermatologist thing. Is it a joke?

Mr. S.E., You nailed it. Invest in a bubble, but always be ready to jump out when things go south. Practical investing.
Crypto’s have no intrinsic value … hence if not a currency… what is it? If it is a currency it is merely more fiat (albeit digital) chasing the same goods and services. And, that translates to ‘INFLATION.’

The fireflies or whatever flying insects Bill describes in his video are much like his analysis . . . total illusions.

Glitch in the matrix
Lights in trees - fireflies
strange colour but my 1st thought also.
However I am certain Bill would know a firefly when he sees one
Crypto is a grift which translates into Trump in any language
