bitcoin is kind of an interesting idea as currency and I could totally see something like it being integral to future transactions

but as a store of value (which is what money really is) it's the stupidest goddamn thing

He will decline to comment on an ongoing investigation in public, Democrats will point out this is hilariously hypocritical, and we'll move on since nobody cares about hypocrisy.

Quite good actually. It seems we are on the road to admitting that Donald "did a Benghazi" and for that we should "lock him up". It's going to rule.

The Altarian Dollar has recently collapsed, the Flainian Pobble Bead is only exchangeable for other Flainian Pobble Beads, and the Triganic Pu has its own very special problems. It exchange rate of eight Ningis to one Pu is simple enough, but since Ningi is a triangular rubber coin six thousand eight hundred miles along each side, no one has ever collected enough to own one Pu. Nigis are not negotiable currency, because Galactibanks refuse to deal in fiddling small change. From this basic premise it is very simple to prove that the Galactibanks are also the product of a deranged imagination.

My favorite thing about bitcoin, aside from the fact its been 99% scammers from inception, is that if you lose the password to your wallet all of the coins in it are gone forever. There are thousands of coins out there that will never be recovered. Possibly up to a third of the total number of bitcoins.

for real why would Comey do anything other than repeatedly say, "I am unable to comment on active investigations" or "We don't comment on whether something is being investigated" for the entire time

which airing of fox and friends did he get this intel from?

I suspect he's just circling back to his pearl-clutching from a few weeks ago over the fact that various Dems have met with russians (originally to do with the fact that his Attorney General to all appearances lied to congress, of course).

So he probably turned over to CNN for a moment to see exactly how much it was failing and someone said something about Trump and russia and he was all like "well, that's just unfair! To the electronic soapbox!"

Honestly if Comey has anything serious going on re: Russia he isn't gonna say it today. If he is quiet and barely says anything, it's likely something is going on behind the scenes.

yup. it's entirely conceivable that one day someone will go "looks like I have the last bitcoin in existence whoops fat fingered my initial wallet password ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"
