a “$2 Minimum Interest Charge”because I somehow didn’t pay off my previous statement by 0.14¢
… I’ve been arguing with Venmo credit card for over an hour via text message out of principle
I was stopped at a light & watching a few kids on electric scooters struggle to get around the overgrown palm tree blocking the sidewalk on their way to school. Neither the city nor the convenience store owner were doing anything about it… so I went home, grabbed my tree loppers, & took care of it myself.
the average human lifespan on Earth today is roughly 73 years
if you placed one penny in a jar every minute from the moment you were born until the day you died, 73 years later, you’d end up with ¢38,368,800 pennies… or $383,688
our perspective has been lost:
Earth’s circumference = about 24,901 miles
1 billion miles ÷ 24,901 = 40,155 times around the Earth
The size of 1 billion is 🤯
🚨 This might be the craziest story of the week, and it’s getting almost no press.
TL;DR:
The FBI infiltrated the cloud storage of a massive Chinese/Cambodian “pig butchering” scam ring and seized $16 billion worth of Bitcoin… now the largest government crypto seizure in history.
That Bitcoin will likely become part of the U.S. government’s growing Bitcoin reserve, which just increased by 64% overnight, reaching roughly 3.5% of the value of the gold held at Fort Knox.
The U.S. government now holds more Bitcoin than any single entity except Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy. And under the President’s March 6 Executive Order, the DOJ no longer sells seized Bitcoin it holds it.
This latest move effectively transfers billions in Bitcoin from a Chinese criminal operation to U.S. ownership.
