Wyatt Earp and Satoshi Nakamoto:
“My wife is such a bad cook, if we leave dental floss in the kitchen the roaches hang themselves.” I thought I would bring you a little Rodney Dangerfield today so we could all feel better about ourselves.
The SEC has created “a separate office to coordinate investigations into crypto currency and other digital assets”. That’s just one of the signs that the Fed regulators are waking up to the potential threats from an unregulated wild west monetary system secured only in the minds of algorithms. There are schemes being devised almost daily that few humans are even aware of, much less understand. Leading US money dictators Yellen and Powell are talking into each other more often than ever about the possible encroachment upon sound banking principles. The get rich fast aspects of this amorphous business is too attractive to too many who have no clue. Several government agencies are looking seriously at mushrooming Crypto Banks like BlockFi and newly chartered Kraken Bank. I expect in the not to distant future that the wide-open Crypto biz will be seeing US Regulators as Krypton. And, the Block party will be over.
But then, we have government who is spending trillions of dollars to lure votes and nobody really knows where that money is coming from either.
Today is National Beer Lovers Day. Hmmm. I wouldn’t think just one day for that would be sufficient.

I think that lowering expectations makes life more relaxed.
I liked watching woman golfers from US and Europe Go Head To Head to win the coveted Solheim Cup -- great matches all, but the USA lost to the Europeans who just couldn’t miss putts when it mattered. But what I really enjoyed was watching the emergence of the young, delightfully pleasant Irish golfer Leeona Maguire. She has had great success as an Amateur. Keep an eye her as the she starts to capitalize on yesterday’s excellent MVP performance. Leona Maguire – remember that name.
The good news is that “Billions” is back again this week on ShowTime for Season 5. It’s one of the better continuous shows even if at times you don’t always have clue about what they are doing.
President McKinley was shot 120 years ago yesterday, dying 8 days later. 51 days after McKinley’s death, his murderer Leon Czolgosz was executed in the electric chair. Remember when Justice used to be swift.
Why again did we remove this president’s name from that mountain in Alaska? So we could publicize a winter jacket from clothing maker The North Face?
“I'm so ugly I stuck my head out the window and got arrested for mooning.” --Rodney Dangerfield
The pandemic brought about many changes to culture, society and business, but perhaps one producing the most lingering effect will be businesses moving heavily into AI solutions. This is a move that would, or at least could, affect economic stability for generations.

Crypto is just one potential rascal we have to watch for out in the new digital world. For instance, appealing appearing stuff offered free on your laptop or tablet may have small hidden triggers within that can raom around inside your own cyber world. Remember when IBM dominated for years and lots of execs thought it cool to have little signs on their desks that said “Think”? Now we should all have signs that say, “Beware”.
“The other day I came home early and out on the street a guy was jogging, naked. I asked him, 'Why?' He said, 'Because you came home early.” –Rodney D '
The Answer:
Well, last year’s champ Tampa Bay returns loaded with good players ad will be the favorite. The only things possibly stopping them could be an overconfidence, TB suddenly getting old or injured and the fact that all this year they will be everybody’s target. After TB we have KC, followed by Cleveland, Green Bay, Buffalo, LA Rams, Tennessee, Baltimore, San Fran and #10 Seattle. Here are the rest in order: Miami, San Diego, My Beloved Pats, Dallas, Minnesota, NO, Pittsburgh, Denver, Wash, Indy, Arizona, NYG, Carolina, Las Vegas, da Bears, Atlanta, NYJ, Cincy, Jax, Philly, Detroit and Houston, Read it and weep.
The most anguishing hopeless task is trying to retrieve a mistake you have just entered into a computer. By the time your fingers raise off the enter key, you may have ignited 20,000 transactions around the globe. and maybe sent message thee rover on Mars. Ad to think that Rodney Dangerfield got no respect, How about humans in today’s digital world.
Whoops, gotta go. I’m late for my NFT art class.
