Today’s episode was originally, Episode-985- From Pawn to Personal Sovereignty and was first published on September 25, 2012.

Every article on it had a passive aggressive undertone, attacking Musk, Tesla and above all Bitcoin itself.  I am pretty sure that this one is on cut and paste phrase list for any so called journalist writing about … Continue reading →

So this may seem like an odd time to … Continue reading →
