If you bought $100 of “$BITCOIN$” seven years ago, you’d have over $140 million today.





The bitcoin rally keeps breaking record highs. Seven years ago one bitcoin was worth about 0.003 cents, As of Oct 4, 2017, its worth about $4,200

So what makes the cryptocurrency so attractive?

ü  Decentralization - Bitcoin isn't aligned with any one country, Limited anonymity means tracing transaction is harder to do

ü  Investment Opportunity - People are buying bitcoin as a hedge against recent political chaos because it's a decentralized currency, it has become a safe haven asset

ü  Japanese Backing - Japan has become a big supporter of bitcoin technology, the government votes to allow retailers to accept bitcoin as a legal currency. The Yen now accounts for over 40% of all bitcoin trade

Looking to get in on the trade

Here are 3 ways to buy bitcoin as a legal currency:

1. Coinbase - Real easy user interface, you go there, they're one of the largest bitcoin exchanges based in the US. You can buy bitcoin there.

2. Bitcoin investment trust - If you want to buy it in your IRA or your brokerage account, GBTC is a symbol. The caveat here, it trades at a bit of a premium. Grayscale Investments - great Company does that

3. Digital Asset Fund - Buys bitcoin and a bunch of the other digital currencies.


Certainly, I am biased against Bitcoin but for me, this is a big bet that this is an emerging technology that's going to be quite disruptive.

Theeran Adhikaram Ondru Movie Review – A power Packed performance by Karthi Photo courtesy - YouTube In a seminal scene in Theeran-Adhikaram Ondru, DSP Theeran (Actor Karthi plays an upright police officer endowed equally with brains and rippling muscles) storms into a den of outlaws in the badlands of Rajasthan. He advises his team to stay inside the car as he walks on purposefully, the dusty hamlet is all eyes; it's the territory of Omah Singh, a much-feared highway dacoit responsible for a breakout of murders in rural Tamil Nadu. As the dust motes ripple upward in the desert air, Theeran slams one after the other until Singh sits up and takes notice, his hookah forgotten… The faceoff defines the movie. Can a district police chief trace murders all the way to the North-West, surmount the crippling bureaucracy of multiple governments and bring to book a dacoit gang wreaking havoc on the crime numbers in TN? An emphatic Yes! H Vinoth, who deftly portrayed the
