Not trolling. It is something I strongly believe in. Admittedly, it is hard to convince anyone else about it, but that is OK. I was only trying to let other folks know about the opportunity, but some folks get all bent out of shape about it.

Then just ignore me, or do some research to see if it can work for you. I don't have all the details, but I am happy to have a substantial bag of XRP. I know that it's future is bright.

The major selling point is that it is the currency to be used by the QFS. Perhaps I misspoke in saying it is "backed by gold". XRP has a great future.

TBBills, you know nothing.

SWIFT will be replaced by QFS (Quantum Financial System), and XRP operates on that new network. Precious metals is probably the best investment right now - physical gold or silver you can hold in your hand, not these Wall Street stuff like SLV. That Goldscape article was kind of ridiculous, like the guy is doing his thesis on gold-backed crypto. Most of those coins he mentions will not be around for very long. As far as all this "where is the gold?" and "how much is there?", I don't really care about all that. I know where the banking system is headed, and I have invested accordingly. @TBBillsWe shall see who has the right information. Time will tell, but I have full confidence in my choices of XRP, XLM, and silver. For the rest of you guys, enjoy your Bitcoin, Ethereum, and whatnot. We can just agree to disagree on what coins are the best investment (or "gamble", as some folks think).

So what exactly is backing Bitcoin or Ethereum or <choose your favorite coin>?

XRP is backed by gold. XLM is backed by silver. Gold and silver are the assets. Most people are not accustomed to crypto being backed by anything but hope.

When most of you guys talk about crypto, why do you only focus on Bitcoin? I know it's the first one, and maybe the only one most people are aware of. But it is backed by nothing but thin air. Of course it goes up and down, manipulated by the whales. Do a bit of research and look at the few coins which can be considered "asset-backed digital assets". It is easier just to call them crypto, but XLM and XRP are functional in the new financial system. Did you know that you can buy XRP today for 34 cents? It's an amazing value. XRP is still de-listed on many exchanges, but is available through Lobstr. Open a Lobstr account, buy some XLM (from Coinbase or wherever) and send them to your Lobstr address. Swap some XLM for XRP, and you can soon have more money than you can imagine. Just spend even $50 or $100, and you will make some BIG money. Or you can just keep riding the Bitcoin roller coaster, at least until completely goes off the tracks.

IIRC. That was the game where Thurman plowed into Fish DC Tom Olivadotti on the sidelines.

Hamilton has blown a couple good leads already this season. Just blowing it. In other news, former Bills RB/FB Tim Tindale "The Canadian Comet" is going into the Canadian Football HOF. Kaiir Elam's uncle Matt Elam is still playing "safety" (defensive halfback?) in the CFL.

"Man-siere!"

I'm glad you told us what your wife's job was, since she loved it so much. If you can find work that you love doing, that's one of the secrets to a happy life.

Wow, you must be doing it wrong! I love not going to work!

Unpopular, but absolutely true. We should soon be able to see the real 9/11 perps confess to their horrible crimes. You have seen them before, but I won't spoil the ending for you.

Some people watch CFL and USFL games just for the enjoyment of the game, even though the quality may be a notch below NFL standards.

QB Chad Kelly getting some playing time right now on ESPN2.

Barkley's so-called career has been underwhelming at best. For the #2 draft pick, the Giants have gotten very little value. Of course, that reflects on the Giants offense as a whole. Andy Reid could probably put him to good use.

There are dispensaries now where you can buy weed safely and legally. I found one out in Gowanda (https://goodleaf716.com/), which will suffice until something closer to home pops up. It's a great option compared with buying from some guy on the street.

Odell Beckham took his salary in Bitcoin a few years back. Prior to the recent Superbowl, they said that due to the BTC volatility, Beckham was playing the 2021 season for about $37,000. Ouch.

But some of them will be coming back strong. Others will not be coming back from their decline.

Exactly. Do it now while Aaron Rodgers is busy playing golf.

It's nice to see that golf is not just for old white guys in plaid pants.

ISO20022 certification is actually a messaging standard used by financial institutions of the world. It's not like a certification you earn as a developer. Evergrande owns 90% of China's housing market. So when they are delisted from the stock market tomorrow (June 16), there is likely to be some serious shtuff hitting the fan. A Q vibe, you say?

The world will not be ending. This is simply a historic financial collapse. What's coming is NESARA - National Economic Security and Reformation Act. Print on the image is kind of small, so a few highlights: Debt forgiveness - mortgages, credit cards, other bank debt wiped out Abolishes IRS and income tax New currency - backed by precious metals Prices will be returning to 1955 levels. Life will be good.

I have tried to warn a few people about the coming collapse of the stock market. But I am not a financial advisor or economist, just a retired software engineer, so nobody listens. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tether are doomed along with most other crypto. The only survivors will be those "coins" to be used in the quantum financial system, where ISO20022 certification is required. There is a "***** hits the fan" event coming soon, perhaps this Thursday June 16 when Evergrande is removed from the stock market. When this happens, cryptos will take a quantum leap, in one direction or the other. Once things settle down, crypto trading should then be more of an incremental thing. In your position, I would cash in a chunk of stock and buy XLM and XRP. Being risk averse, this is likely not an option. Time will tell the rest of the story.
