Around the third month of what I liked to think of as a balancing act between appearing sober and happy and not getting my self sick on opiates and hang overs I discovered that I could acquire crack cocaine in the area I live in at the moment.

Let me preface this in that I had dabbled in smoking rock from time to time before my legal troubles started but soon lost those connections, so it was something I knew I liked, but far from my favorite substance, that being marijuana. I love weed, its all I really want, but due to circumstances I had to stop roughly seven months ago.

Once I knew where I could get crack from...

quote:

It was at the tail end of that crack binge I discovered phenazepam on this very forum. Quickly, I researched all the information I could find on the internet, which pointed to the fact that this is a very potent and hard to dose substance when acquired in powder form. Shortly after the first shipment of ~ 500mg of phenazepam powder arrived I was enamored with all its attributes. The ease of getting it, potency, price and most of all the wonderful feeling of being completely useless on benzodiazapines. I proceeded to order more and more and within a months time consumed so much that both my family and my fiance thought that I would have permanent brain damage, mainly because with my decreased motor functions, they thought I was huffing paint. I apparently did huff paint during this time period, but do not remember it, nor have I ever had a history of huffing anything. I always thought that was stupid, which I still stand strong on that point.

there are two things that could ruin a young libertarians life, bitcoin and phenazepam.
one creates a strong dependancy that drives away everyone around you and makes you waste all your money and loose your job and maybe get brain damage

the others is a drug

Nobody has tried to sell their precious butt-shares so there has been no activity. Not that the bids are "good", a share is equal to 1/10 of a coin and the bids are for 35 bucks so they are trying to buy them for 350 a coin. (which is not the 2000% roi any savvy butt-investor wants)

phenazepam and other benzos block your ability to care, so the subtle dropoff means you still aren't giving a gently caress several days later

also it seems to have a really long half life, so if you get super hosed up on friday / saturday and keep redosing even if it's a little bit and decide to have a couple of beers on wednesday you can quickly end black out drunk and hosed up

Nope.


You can read their annual report though: http://www.otcmarkets.com/financialReportViewer?symbol=GBTC&id=135313

The list of legal disclaimers about possible investment risks is fairly extensive. Even for these kinds of documents.

Also, apparently no one is actually allowed to redeem shares right now:

quote:

Redemption of Shares is currently prohibited.

At this time, Shareholders are not permitted to redeem their shares. If the Trust reintroduces a
redemption program, redemptions will occur only upon the order of Authorized Participants and
only in Baskets.

The Sponsor will reject a redemption order if the order is not in proper form as described in the
Participant Agreement or if the fulfillment of the order might be unlawful. Any such rejection
could adversely affect a Shareholder seeking to redeem shares through the Authorized Participant.
For example, the resulting delay could adversely affect the value of the Shareholder’s redemption
distribution if the NAV were to decline during the delay. See “Creation and Redemption of Shares
— Redemption Procedures.” The Sponsor disclaims any liability for any loss or damage that may
result from any such rejection.

There's also a section about how being an authorized dealer could potentially, maybe, possibly, cause you to be subject to AML laws.

Also, another gem:

quote:

As the Sponsor and its management have no meaningful history of operating an investment
vehicle like the Trust, their experience may be inadequate or unsuitable to manage the
Trust.

Hai guyz, here are da factz about our professional foundation.

http://blog.bitcoinfoundation.org/the-facts-about-the-bitcoin-foundation/

quote:

1. The Foundation is not bankrupt. Very misleading! the correct term is insolvent and we won't be so for a few weeks!

2. The Foundation did not fire 90% of its people. FUD! Some of them quit because we don't have any money.

3. Donors expressed concerns over corporate governance structure. Yeah, they did. They are mainly concerned about the lack of money.

4. Patrick Murck, Executive Director, volunteered to step off payroll. Because we couldn't pay him.

So, as you can transparently see, everything is fine. We have determined that the origin of our problems is our HODL strategy, we will take the appropriate action soon.

xoxo
