I play my Hapi drum.

I watch the slow recovery of bitcoin. The big money is getting into the game after flushing out bitcoins after a 50% crash. Bitcoin is math and is being stress tested. It passed the test while some lost money. When the market is crashing do they ask themselves “who’s buying”. Casinos rely on the math they call odds to win in the long run while the gambler “bets” emotionally. Something like bitcoin has never existed. It’s an internet of money (value) moving at the speed of the internet. Once you’re in that is. The volatility exists in getting some. The rest of the people will be left holding FIAT money or debt based digital currency know as Ripple.

I complete some work.

I share the afternoon and evening with Heather.

Further computer set up and watching the Bitcoin price drop 50%.

Jerri comes over and cuts my hair. What a delight.
