This is pretty interesting news too. Mastercard will let merchants accept payments in crypto later this year. I'm glad I got into this already back in 2015 :popcorn:

We are preparing right now for the future of crypto and payments, announcing that this year Mastercard will start supporting select cryptocurrencies directly on our network.

Careful there, I said the same when the price first surpassed $10,000 and sold most (which I had originally acquired at prices around $300). Not really a bad deal, but now I look like an idiot for not just holding on to it...
Not bad 300 --> 10k

did you ever get those bitcoins back?

No, I just kept whatever (little) I had left. Still not too shabby at today's price, it just pales in comparison to "what could have been"... So Thailand it is for retirement, not the Bahamas!

Be advised
China is kicking out more than half the world’s bitcoin miners – and a whole lot of them could be headed to Texas
n May, Beijing called for a severe crackdown on bitcoin mining and trading, setting off what’s being dubbed in crypto circles as “the great mining migration.”
Texas is an ideal destination for miners, thanks to its abundance of solar and wind power, its unregulated market, and its crypto-friendly political stance.

China has long been home to more than half the world’s bitcoin miners, but now, Beijing wants them out ASAP.
In May, the government called for a severe crackdown on bitcoin mining and trading, setting off what’s being dubbed in crypto circles as “the great mining migration.” This exodus is underway now, and it could be a game changer for Texas.

China wants cryptocurrency for itself (naturally) and has been pushing it’s version hard for it’s BRI ‘members’ to accept.

Is it any wonder?

Not sure about the miners wanting to come to Texas.

Outside of the extremely liberalistic big cities, much of the countryside is still conservative. But demographics are shifting it to no longer solidly conservative to mixed.

And Hurricane season has arrived.
