All the talk last month was about a movie potentially being cancelled, The Interview.  In the end it wasn't cancelled and looks to have been one of the best marketing moves to get the movie massive attention.  This month the talk is about a serial mass-murdering hitman called American Sniper.

Things are really starting to go off the rails now.  The End Of The Monetary System As We Know It (TEOTMSAWKI) is coming to a rapid, volatile end.  It may not be this year but at this rate it would not surprise us if it was.

Many anti-bitcoiners like to point out the problem with bitcoin is that it is very volatile.  And, they are right, it is an issue.  Bitcoin recently flash crashed to nearly $150 and has now rebounded to over $200 as the Bitstamp exchange has re-opened without problem as we expected.

But bitcoin almost appears to be a beacon of stability compared to what is going on with the fiat currencies.

Imagine that you are the CEO and largest shareholder of Acme Nano-Widgets, a market leading widget manufacturer. Things aren’t looking so great for Acme this year, but this is not yet general knowledge. What do you do if you want to maximize the value of your stock holdings? Do you hold on and hope for the best? Or do you take an active role instead? 

Hello from Anarchapulco Bay,

This is going to be, perhaps, painfully blunt.  That, actually, is very hard for someone who grew up in Kanada in the 70s and 80s where politeness was driven to the extreme… to the point where not holding the door open for a woman who was literally 20 metres away from the door would result in a beating.  Yes, that kind of passive agressive politeness.

That, actually, is what makes what I am about to say seem against my nature.  For, the craw in my nutsack, or whatever that saying is, is about another Kanadian, Stefan Molyneux.  Or, at least, he lives in Kanada… anyway, that's just geography.
