Bitcoin: Crashes in value are what is expected in quite normal human driven markets. The weak hands exit from time to time. This is natural and healthy. It's the so called stock "markets" where manipulation and PPT are holding up prices and machines are algorithmically keeping the price high is where faith in markets and price discovery is shattered. I wish the stock markets were more like bitcoin in that sense.

Sydney RE: A recent Sydney visit continues to show me a wasteland. A dead city in which prices are so high urban renewal is absent. Entire suburbs of old dilapidated houses, commercial and factories are not what I call a dream city. No one can afford to buy the crap and rebuild.
