The value of Bitcoin has been downhill since the announcement.

Maybe time to cash out before the bubble bursts? :lol:

I dunno, from a purely Indycar point of view it's a new sponsor willing to fund a team that wouldn't exist without it so....yay?

At least we know they're legit, rather than some shady Rich Energy business...

The bitcoin got from 50000 to 38800 yesterday when this was announced.

Ok, it's not because of Ed Carpenter, but because Elon Musk tweeted about how Tesla will not take bitcoins for new Tesla purchases until mining of them gets more sustainable.

Idiot me turned down an opportunity to buy them when they were under 100$ even though I understood it's going to work and go over 1000$ for sure in year or two. But I was tight on money back then...and due that decision, I'm also tight on money now. :lol:

Someone in RLLR (or Ferrucci himself) found some Mountain Dew money.

That's the last thing that jackass needs to be jacked up on, lol.

Re: Crypto- yeah, kicking myself I too passed up on cheap Bitcoin and especially passing up on mining it back in the day, same with Doge. And not buying my beloved AMD when it was in the gutter. Tight on money too, and yup, still just as tight.

What?! Not been aired since 2001? Is it because of the twin towers?

Apparently, according to the Wiki on the episode, yes. Though it's back on syndication in some areas.

Wow man, that's something I didn't know. Of course 9/11 is something that we all know and how it affected our lives a lot. But not showing that Simpson episode with the greatest Mountain Dew gag? OK, sensitive subject, I still remember that day like it was yesterday and I feel sad for all the lives we lost.
