Bitcoin SPLAT !!!


Splat !!! That's the sound of my Bitcoin hitting floor after dropping.  Reminds me of the parachuter's song. Fell unto the runway like little blob of %^*& ! And it ain't gonna rise no more!  Dropped like flies on a winter window pane.  Dropped like Trump's approval rating. Dropped like 3rd period Latin in high school. Dropped like a hit of acid. Dropped like a kid at the pool. Dropped like a sack of bricks from a scaffold.  Dropped like a dead donkey. Dropped like the drawers of  a ______, dropped like Cleveland Brown's pass, dropped like Fox dropped Bill O'Reilly, dropped like a Bill Cosby victim, dropped like a lead balloon,  you get the picture.  You gotta love it when your "investment" drops by 42%. I have to laud that woman who was on LinkedIn (an investor) who said that she sold every bit of Bitcoin she had once it reached $17,500.  Buy low, sell high.  Right now, I feel for the folks who bought in the $14-17,000 range.  Here's hoping that like the ingestion of Viagra, it too will rise again.

The Nate Silver of Rugby and Bitcoin


Gotta say that I scored a fairly big one in the predictions department with my RugbyMetrics.  I did a running analysis of how the teams were playing, scoring and defense stats and came up with a regression formula.  In the latest fixtures of the Aviva Premiership, Bath the number three team was playing the Saracens.  My analysis showed that the Sarries would triumph over Bath by a score of  23-16.  I tweeted that prediction a day before.

On game day, the Saracens did prevail with a score of 23-10.  That is an amazingly accurate prediction and my regression formula warrants a trip to the bookie shop.

On another tack, in a previous post, I put up a video (done by someone else) saying that BitCoin was in a bubble.  Well, Mt. Gox failed a few days later.  I predicted a Super Bowl win for the Seattle Sea Hawks earlier this year and they upset the Broncos big time.

  I should start backing my predictions with money.
