US Marshals Will Auction $40M in Bitcoin This Month

The U.S. Marshals Service is auctioning nearly $40 million in bitcoin, the first such auction since the end of 2018.

The Marshals will auction "approximately" 4,040 bitcoin, worth $37.7 million at press time, according to CoinDesk's Bitcoin Price Index, to registered bidders on Feb. 18, the press release said. Potential bidders must register by Feb. 12.

"The auction will take place during a six-hour period Feb. 18. Bids will be accepted by email from pre-registered bidders only," the release said.

Bidders will also be required to make a $200,000 deposit before being able to bid. Participants who do not win their bids will receive these back.

The bitcoin will be sold in four lots, with 2,500, 1,000, 500 and 40.54069820 bitcoin each. The first three lots are further split into blocks, each with their own set number of bitcoin.

This is something very important because every time they auction Bitcoin is incrementally more difficult to declare it illegal.
If it were illegal they would “burn it”, like they do with seized drugs.

This is something very important regarding this aspect una common law system, way more important than any price-related issue.

ha they want the monies

Sure they want the money.
They would like to collect the money from the drug too, but they cannot sell it.
The point is: every time they sell BTC for the money they plan amo the nail in the “Bitcoin is illegal” coffin as a law deeming bitcoin illegal would require basicall a Supreme Court pronunciation, that would be very difficult after many auctions.

Nah, he probably meant like the time I crashed my lambo, and lost the memory to my passphrase in the process:



Sad story really.

Lol, BSV tracks are just too big, no issues with any collision possible

Here's a mask with P3 protection that will actually keep you safe, unclear what happens when it runs out of battery.

Looks usable. Photovoltaic cells would be cool, too. The surface area is there.

what's the rumor behind, this time?

Panasonic, TSLA battery partner is making money from their partnership.
This is crucial because mean they significantly lowered their costs per Kw.
This means TSLA has a HYGE advantage over competitor.

(Bloomberg) --Tesla Inc.’s shares rallied for a fifth day Monday, adding more than $100 per share, as a torrent of good news further boosted investor sentiment.
The stock rose as much as 21% to $786.14, its highest price ever, and the stock’s best intraday gain since May 2013.

Earlier today, Panasonic Corp., which makes batteries for Tesla at its jointly operated battery plant in Nevada, said the business turned profitable in the quarter ended Dec. 31. The rapid increase in Tesla’s output helped push that business into the black, Panasonic Chief Financial Officer Hirokazu Umeda told reporters in Tokyo on Monday, declining to give specific figures.

I'm pinning my life on this -



You can use it for impromptu kidney dialysis, hit yourself over the head for pain relief, fill woodland creatures with orangey syrup for a quick and nutritious meal, fire it at people and wipe your arse with it or simply plug it and get the fire brigade to remove it when sanitation returns.

It's a one stop retro survival engine.

AIDS Flu paper withdrawn as riddled with errors

Scientific Puzzles Surrounding the Wuhan Novel Coronavirus.

Prof. Lu et. al. also discussed the natural host of the virus. An early hypothesis had been the virus had passed to humans from bats sold at Wuhan’s Huanan Seafood Market.

Lu et. al write: “First, the outbreak was first reported in late December 2019, when most bat species in Wuhan are hibernating. Second, no bats were sold or found at the Huanan seafood market, whereas various non-aquatic animals (including mammals) were available for purchase. Third, the sequence identity between 2019-nCoV and its close relatives bat-SL-CoVZC45 and bat-SL-CoVZXC21 was less than 90%. Hence, bat-SL-CoVZC45 and bat-SL-CoVZXC21 are not direct ancestors of 2019-nCoV.”

The authors point out that while the 2019-nCoV causing the Wuhan outbreak might have initially been hosted by bats, it may have been transmitted to humans via other as yet unknown mechanisms.

The Science article said: “Huanan marketplace played an early role in spreading 2019-nCoV, but whether it was the origin of the outbreak remains uncertain. Many of the initially confirmed 2019-nCoV cases—27 of the first 41 in one report, 26 of 47 in another—were connected to the Wuhan market, but up to 45%, including the earliest handful, were not. This raises the possibility that the initial jump into people happened elsewhere.”

There are many scientific questions regarding this novel virus. Based on recently published scientific papers, this new coronavirus has unprecedented virologic features that suggest genetic engineering may have been involved in its creation.

Or maybe they have finally found a HIV's vaccine CURE ... even if a bit aggressive in its action.

Really, we don't have enough reliable data to even reasonably speculate about it.

You are right.

We should stick to short term Bitcoin price speculation where we have such a great track record.

Good one, yeah... Good one.
