Of Bitcoin Volatility & Exponential Returns: Gamemaker Watch 3
Thus far bitcoin has rebounded almost 70% from its lows around $150, while litecoin has rebounded over 120% from its lows around $1. This substantial rebound was the strongest in several months and certainly makes $150 into a firm candidate for a bottom.
For the first time in over a year, litecoin rebounded more strongly than bitcoin, and in fact, came close to re-attaining the 1% level it held for much of 2014.
While bottoms are obviously impossible to predict with any certainty, $150 may well turn out to have been the low for 2015. At a minimum, such a scenario merits a probability of at least, say, 40%, and according to some as high as 60%. If we use that 40% figure in combination with a potential upside of, say, $1000, it seems like an attractive bet. Even if the probability is only 25%, it is still an attractive bet. Remember, even a bet with a 25% probability of success can still be a good one if the upside is exponential. To win, I simply have to make enough of these bets.

Jeff Berwick On Anarchapulco, Bitcoin In Mexico & The Silk Road Trial
When did you first hear of Bitcoin and what did you think about it?
JB: I first heard about it in early 2011 from a Dollar Vigilante subscriber, Jeremy Bernal. I posted an interview with him here in May 2011. I met Jeremy at Doug Casey’s La Estancia de Cafayate in Argentina over a glass of torontes near a fireplace and was very interested as I had never heard of it before. I began to follow it near $3 and after interviewing him I then went on to talk more with another person I met in Cafayate, Trace Mayer in 2012.
[Trace] told me, in this interview, why it was so important. Trace actually walked me through opening my first bitcoin wallet, transferred me $10 in bitcoin and walked me through buying something on the internet with it all within a matter of about a minute and from then on I was enthralled with it. I’d also have to say you played a role in my bitcoin education as I initially got involved with you on the world’s first bitcoin ATM machine when Cyprus had their bank bail-ins. Quickly I was on Fox Business, CNBC and Bloomberg and you helped me to gain a better technical understanding of bitcoin at that time to answer the questions I was being asked.

The True Story of John McAfee: The Weekend Vigilante January 31st, 2015
As I stated, previously, I have been writing a bit less in the blog and focusing more on our subscriber newsletter (for which I have big plans this year and will be telling subscribers about an incredible, exclusive opportunity to invest in the burgeoning cannabis oil industry this week), spending more time with my family, focusing more on some businesses I am involved in and about to create, on finishing a book I have been trying to finish forever and focusing more on my passions which include the upcoming anarcho-capitalist conference I am hosting in Acapulco, called Anarchapulco, at the end of this month.

Anarchast: John McAfee (see: February 1, 2015 Weekend Vigilante)
This weekend I had the pleasure of interviewing a person who I think can rightfully so be called the real "most interesting man in the world", John McAfee.
Amongst other things, John gave his side of the story in what happened to him in Belize and, surprise, surprise, it is much different than almost anything you've ever heard in the mainstream media where, according to them, John was wanted in Belize for murder and escaped from the country prior to facing the charges.
