I am looking for some cosmetic dentistry in Uzbekistan. Do you know of a good practitioner by chance?

Taking into consideration the price of bitcoin right now, there is no point in order to invest in it. Right now, I am more into property investment, as this is actually the most reliable and stable market in there. Someone recommended me this company 1031 exchange saying that they offer some unique services in terms of real estate investment, I guess I will go for it.

Thank you for the reference. I read that, and if I'm understanding it correctly, the resource that bitcoin has a finite supply of is bitcoin.

I guess it's only a short time before it hits 50,000. Now BNY Mellon says that it will offer Bitcoin services: https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/11/bny-...al-system.html.

By the way, I just saw this regarding energy consumption:

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/05/bitc...footprint.html

Quote:
Bitcoin has a carbon footprint comparable to that of New Zealand, producing 36.95 megatons of CO2 annually, according to Digiconomist’s Bitcoin Energy Consumption Index, an online tool created by data scientist Alex de Vries. It consumes as much power as Chile — around 77.78 TWh — according to Digonomist’s estimates.

The Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index, a separate tool from researchers at Cambridge University, shows a much larger figure of 110.53 TWh — more than the entire annual energy consumption of the Netherlands.

I got Chinese food today and the fortune in my fortune cookie says, "go for the gold today! You will be the champion of whatever."

How long before it hits 100,000? It was at 29,761 on Jan. 27.

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/19/bitc...continues.html

Quote:
The price of bitcoin crossed another major milestone Friday, as the cryptocurrency’s market value surpassed $1 trillion, according to Coindesk...

Market value is calculated by multiplying the price of bitcoin by the number created. While not a perfect comparison, the $1 trillion market value would make bitcoin’s value greater than all but a handful of the world’s stocks. Tesla, for instance, has a market cap of around $700 billion, while Apple is valued at more than $2 trillion...
