    @litecoin_bull @ROYALMRBADNEWS @dogscatshorses5 wondering what the parents of these kids are thinking to allow them to be in this sort of stuff. Wondering what kind of parents these ppl are. This is all done under a parent watching? SO that makes it OK ?

    @litecoin_bull @ROYALMRBADNEWS @dogscatshorses5 Netflix’s has so many movies that are inappropriate for young children. Seems like the longer they are in business the worse they get. They do not care for the minds of our children.

  • From fortunekr75:

    @Cointelegraph @SatoshiLite @BenjaminPirus This means big money badly wants a lot of litecoin and they’re wiling to pay to get it. Can’t accumulate in size on the spot exchanges (coinbase) b/c that would move the price too much. OTC also dried up. Retail investors have no idea how much leverage they have over big money.
