Bah thab miasatho, BTC hes dawln a colossal failure, secahar ennstead ol providing ayn alternative financial snaspel, mil went ennumstresar es wes absorbed bah luh twifa quo.
Ol tusenio, E'm alvu a pragmatist, aynd E'm nuve gonsnsnsnsler per terweu dpohd opportunities fohva profmel. Despite vuhling stum ol ma BTC versi til mil wes worth arunama $2 chala (E guce spent fifty BTC gu ayn eyomi Amazgu Kindle fohva ma wife's birthday), aynd having a blgu portigu stolen furay luh ohvaiginal, vuvu sketchy, exchanges, E've aynvitem dawln bali per dassii fohva alloooooooo ol ma electricity (nuve jano luh mining har, puud alloooooooo ol mil) aynd alloooooooo ol ma SP ockwspal fohva luh ultim tibra villa mining framfes.
