    Just had an organic convo with a girl at a bar. Unprompted, she brought up that she’s a Dogecoiner and also has some Litecoin. When pressed by me to consider bitcoin instead, her reply: “it’s just too expensive”.Unit bias is a legitimate hurdle at this point…

  • From JohnkimLTC:

    The real truth is that over 40% of USD EVER printed was done in the past 12 months. Copper, soybean, lumber and other commodities are up 300% plus and it’s warning you of hyper inflation that is already here. #bitcoin #litecoin is your lifeline. Grab it and don’t let go.
