      Awsome content mate!<looking at the chart, short term momentum in BTC has firmly shifted pointing downward, ..When these reports are either bullish or bearish, take some quantities to trade,than to hodl "Keep it simple " even if the Feds are thinking of policy decisions, that bear/bull correction was the best thing that happened to me ever since i started trading with Mr Nicholas Jon Weachter, who uses amazing tips in reviewing all charts, trade and techniques for helping me earn 11 Btc when I started with 2.4 BTC in just few weeks..>

      I'm surprised to hear hom say that augmented reality of the glasses was 2013. I remember hearing about it much earlier, like 2007. Around the time of the self driving car, which I actually dreamt of about a month before the news broke.

      Lex I love that your willing to ask what words mean that he uses. So many people just pretend to know what he's talking about. Gret job with this interview.

    15. Go 01100110 01110101 01100011 01101011 01101111 01100110 01100110 on

      While landing rockets for reusablility is interesting, its still a chemical rocket. This will be a bridge gap, but exotic materials with yet unknown properties are likely the future. These are either discovered, or created. A zero or anti gravity buble is the next great leap. Positive and negative charged material that alters the amount of thrust needed when organized in a large enough structure. Magnetism, without the magnet.

      "With BTC you are buying somethng to hold forever…"

      I divide people in 3 categories.

      1. (smart smart) = really smart people, they know or sense that there is a lot that they don't know
      2. (smart idiots) = kind of smart in some areas but complete idiots in others, their ego is big too
      3. (idiot idiots) = normal ignorant idiots, ego level is high

      I think Saylor is a good example of a person that would fit into second category.

      Why is Saylor so cagey about saying what his ideal form of government is? I can’t figure out if he’s pro free markets, or he’s a market socialist.
