I liked Bitcoin until they started making them out of plated base metals. Now they're practically worthless, although you still occasionally run across an older one...I hear those are worth many times their face value now.

And Bitcoins with condition issues are being made into fashionable jewelry. Contrary to popular belief, it is NOT a Federal offense to drill holes in them, provided you don't attempt to disguise or alter their face value.

It is however, still a felony to drop them from the top of the Empire State building to see if they really WILL sink 6 inches deep in someone's brain.

Wait,  I thought Bitcoin would crash and burn in a fiery inferno after the Feds sold the 30,000 bitoins in their possession??? Why is the price still close $600??? I am really confused now. I suppose I will go back to hammering things and polishing my shiney round hunks of metal.
