To clarify, Alyssa1 is an old retired guy in Reno. No intent to decieve, I name my several trading accounts after my children.

Regarding Bitcoin, I have nothing against that... but I could play that a number of ways. It will be interesting to see how FCCC, SING, AND AFPW Holding fair with it... I'm Long here for the tech play. NovoFuel, we've been told in recent PR, shall be spun-off. When that happens, AFPW holders will get a proportional number of their stock. When? Certainly by April 11. There could be one comprehensive PR, wrapped with a ribbon, or a number of them, but following the spin-off, I'm betting Novafuel will out perform AFPW Holding, at least for my style.

BITCOIN

I'm a veteran of earlier digital money efforts and used to drink tequila with Orlin Grabbe in Reno, after he left Wharton, while he had an encryption business. I sent a couple of weeks with him and his crew in San Jose, Costa Rica. He would have loved Bitcoin.

Bitcoin foreshadowed: “The End of Ordinary Money” by J. Orlin Grabbe (1995)
April 3, 2013
History as prophecy.

In 1995, the great, late J. Orlin Grabbe was 20 years ahead of his time, already in the place the rest of us are just now entering. He published this essay on the internet all that time ago, some of it having been written in 1987. Were Grabbe alive today, he probably would have been the first Bitcoin billionaire.

The entire essay is worth study by anyone interested in Bitcoin, encryption, privacy and other associated topics. In particular, Electronic Cash the Way It Ought To Be will sound somewhat familiar to those already familiar with Bitcoin.

I simply like to research tech and try to time an early entry. My .0003s and 4s make my happy... I'm more worried about having a heart attack when this rockets, which the other Longs here probably have thought about...

I utilize a hodge-podge speculation process that normally leaves me plenty of fishing and skiing time. I know many others here do vastly better than I.

AFPW to the Moon...
