Well, the Coinbase ad was... different. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.adweek.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2022%2F02%2Fcoinbase-superbowl-2022.jpg&t=665&c=ht04bAKBZd3_XQ) well my cat enjoyed it. he jumped up and ran to the tv and tried to catch it, prolly thought it was a new kind of cat game. It pisses me off that this fucking shitty company has ended up with this much power over the narrative. You have to excuse me, but I am just a little drunk. Brian Armstrong has optimized for one thing, and that is to make himself money. Good for him. There is nothing wrong with that on it's face. BUT. He did this in a way that has significantly delays Bitcoin's path to inevitability by supporting an endless amount of imposter projects, and he has chosen to act like these all have some "possible significance", when they, in fact, do not. Thing is... someone at his organization, most likely him, understands that these projects are flawed at their core,but that immense amounts of money can be made shilling these blockchains without regard to their actual value. So he has chosen his path. And by doing so, because of his position, he has delayed the path of the primary project that matters. It is hard for me to imagine a world in which someone can achieve the level he has without understanding that they had sold their soul. I guess that is just how it is. One part of the price of a perfectly free market is the reality that it can be abused before people have become aware of it's dynamics. While bitcoin is emerging at the absolute metric by which finance is measured, there are opportunities to take money from id idiots while the pickings are good. And he has done exactly that by delaying the good future that is Bitcoin. I think there is still time for him to finally come around to the light side... But the clock is running out. Brian, you will be rich, but in hell. You will never need money. Come over to the side that makes sense.

We need a major, well produced, Superbowl bitcoin commercial. Surely some whale could spend a few coins and take care of that, eh? Just for shits and giggles of course...

Ugh, the cameraman's curse - finally get the perfect shot and some dweeb has to wander into frame seems to apply doubly for video. Been waiting three hours for a part to print so I could make a quick video using it and as soon as it comes off the printer, family starts well, not being noisy around my recording area but acting in a way you know it's just gonna happen...

I'm not sure if the conflict in Ukraine affects the Bitcoin rate, but probably, in some ways. Regardless of what you think about Russia and Putin, it was interesting to hear him speak himself for once and point out his concerns, as opposed to listening to mainstream media quoting him in questionable ways. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdXVsoa0byk

Wonder if he would be ok with Sweden resuming it's nuclear arms program and station some missiles pointing at Russia?

I thought it was interesting to hear him out, of course this is one-sided, Putin is the one answering the questions (second half of the clip is more consistent), but western media doesn't even give him this. "Fienden behöver inte komma från Öst, Ryssen kan även komma från Väst." I did military service, this is the kind of indoctrination used back in the day, even though we knew NATO had subs wherever Russia did.

"Fienden behöver inte komma från Öst, Ryssen kan även komma från Väst." I did military service, this is the kind of indoctrination used back in the day, even though we knew NATO had subs wherever Russia did. It was indeed interesting, and I too recognized the propaganda from the cold war era. "Fienden behöver inte komma från Öst, Ryssen kan även komma från Väst." this is indeed both true and funny. Kind of reminds me of the things our commanding officers would say during ambush exercises, "Ni hör nu motorbuller och svag balalajkamusik i fjärran" "Fienden närmar sig och ni kan nu känna doften av rysk fuldiesel och dålig vodka..." I too did military service (KA3 Pjäschef).

Coinbase are a joke, I refuse to use them ever again after receiving an email from them informing me that they are now passing information on accounts to our tax officers that have traded & held a certain amount of bitcoin during a certain timeframe. I know they have to do it now to satisfy the man but it’s so anti bitcoin & the whole reason why I got into bitcoin. I will never use Coinbase again. Any way, let’s hope for a bullish week, if not though & Russia start playing games, I have stink bids in on an exchange that isn’t Coinbase ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Bitcoin Monthly Return (%)March seems to be the worst year overall According to my chart, Bitcoin won't go below $30k in March 2022 and will not go below $56k in March 2023. We are very close to get the Bitcoin at the best possible price to HODL for next 5 years.
