I know, it's hard to keep up isn't it. Let's all party like it's 199what? Centuries are susceptible to off-by-one errors.

It varies on a county by country basis. Some criminalize its use, I believe the USofA uses capital gains at the exchanges. Banks are marshaling their own blockchains.

When Bitcoin reaches $10K, a single Satoshi will be worth one dime. So much for micropayments. Transaction costs are going up.

Ethereum just took a major hit. Cryptocurrencies perfect Internet, but the damage from advertising and spooks is already done
