B.C. by Mastroianni and Hart for April 21, 2021

Hey! Rover over at Red and Rover lost his bouncy ball.

Please return if found.

How much is that Doge in the window?

Watching to see it pop after all Bitcoin is only a Bubble hiding in a Cloud .

Netflix shares….

I’ve met people who actually think that bitcoins have safety nets just like bank accounts. Ain’t no FDIC or anything like it for NFT’s (and those very same folks would never, ever dream of lifting a finger and trying to find out what ’NFT’s’ are so they do kinda deserve it).

It’s all in the imagination, I guess.

This is why I prefer cash on the barrelhead.

LOL Bitcoin IS an imaginary bouncy ball honk honk

I never knews there was Bitcoins in B.C.

I had my doubts, until our 28 yr old son said he took his savings $50k over a yr ago, bot Bitcoin, increased to $700k, sold some, and bot a $400k house. Has 3 bitcoins left he said. Yes he’s single, athletic, a CPA & equity analyst. Available.

Like regular currency and stocks, bitcoin is only worth what people collectively believe it is worth.

Our entire economy is based on good or bad feelings and the confidence of the institutions (be they governments or companies) behind them.

So what is backing up bitcoin? I suggest, like some hyperinflated, stocks: greed. It’s second-cousin to a Ponzi scheme.

Or, in simple terms, “yes”.

Bitcoin – the modern iteration of pie in the sky.

I anxiously await the inevitable time of sorrow and pain when people realize the bitcoin is a ponzi scam. There will be much gnashing of teeth and rending of clothes and no few computers killed in the fury. …sad

So, once Bitcoin is gone, this won’t be B.C. anymore? < smirk >

All you’ll get is a stiff neck, methinks.

wouldn’t it be Bitclam?

And in the unpublished fifth panel, the lyrics appear and everyone sings along as they “follow the bouncing ball”! d;o)
