      So, as I said to others in this comment section, "Deep onion" seems like a dumb name only for people that don't know enough about the web.
      Nearly all deep web sites needs Tor browser to access. The logo of tor Browser is an onion, for it's a reference to the deeper layers of the internet you get access to thanks to it. One of the major use of crypto-currencies is to buy things on the deep web, using tor. So "deep onion" is nothing more than a very logical name.
      I'll give you that Monkey Jizz is a dumbfuckery that has no fucking reason to exist.

    My wife and I were in London staying in an AirBnB a few years ago now. Hosts invited us to have some wine with them before we went out for dinner, so we did. They started telling us about this cryptocurrency they'd both quit their jobs to start doing full time and how "it was going to change the world". We sat with them, asked some questions and then had to leave for our dinner reservation. As soon as we were in the lift, I turned to my wife and said "Bitconneeeeeeeeeeeeeect!" and we both pissed ourselves laughing.
    These two sounded exactly as daft and ludicrous as that guy did

      Tacet the Terror I think it’s great that he’s talking about being careful and responsible with your money, don’t buy into anything you don’t understand.
      Having said that people should really take the time to understand the technology. He made some good points but also some misinformed ones. Bitcoin is kind of like the dot com bubble, where people got in without understanding why the technology is so revolutionary, and caused a massive surge and and equally massive collapse. But look at the biggest companies in the world now, and where you would be had you held on to some of those companies stocks. You know, small companies like Google, Amazon, or Facebook.
      I think blockchain technology (the ones that are free and open) will do for finance and trade what the internet did for information, but you gotta do the research for yourselves before you invest in anything.

      One thing I've noticed about John Oliver, basically every one of his episodes that aren't about a specific event (and even sometimes then), they stay relevant for YEARS. Sometimes when I'm listening I have to go down to the description and see when it came out because it's way more relevant than it should be.

At the same time, the Stochastic RSI oscillator is about to make a bullish crossover at the oversold area. In case this happens, it might assist the market in reaching higher highs.

At the same time, the Stochastic RSI oscillator is about to make a bullish crossover at the oversold area. In case this happens, it might assist the market in reaching higher highs.
