Ethereum

'Come and listen to a story 'bout a man named Jed...move away from there...Californee is the place you oughta be...'...struck it rich in the oil biz...well, now, the times they have a changed...it's the stocks, the web net, the social networking, the bitcoin...and now the latest of them all...ETHEREUM...more of this fantasy world...stuff...virtual investing...that is outta this world...that many have gone to...especially in the art's world...now the ultra rich sports people, too...let's get into it...

Ethereum is a technology that's home to digital money, global payments, and applications...it has a DeFi system that allows you to send, receive, borrow, earn, and even stream funds...anywhere in the World...ah, what?...here's where it gets even deeper...and prepare yourself for this...NFT's...non-fungible tokens...which are tokens used to represent ownership of unique items...art, collectibles (baseball cards?), even real estate...OK, getting lost already?...

Fungible items can exchanged because their value defines them...ah, c'mon...who decides what's what?...I have the same concerns over the bloody bitcoin...what?...if you own an NFT, you must prove you own it...you can see it...or you can hold it forever...what?...

Ether, the cryptocurrency short for Ethereum, is the 2nd largest one in the world...$3201 for one token...JJ, is it too late to invest in this?...I want ETHER!...

If you understood the above 4 'paragraphs' you are much smarter than moi....

In the other world...

Just off the shores of Point Loma, down here in South SoCal...a human smuggling vessel sank, killing 4 and injuring 20 something...these are desperate people, kids...that would do anything to get to America...quit the blaming and let's HELP to find a way for other countries to keep their people...

You watching Idol?...not many are these days...as the producers are making it nearly a trash show...deal with reality guys and gals...publish the numbers of the votes...don't bring back old contestants...have a 'save' for bizarre votes...don't ever go to Disney for songs again...horrific songs...the way things are going, this could be the swan song for this AI...

We had unpredicted non stop drizzle yesterday...booo...and made the SF Giants feel right at home, so they walloped the home town Pads 7-1....here comes the Pitt Pirates for a set...better weather?...so, it may seem...hope so...

The LaLa Lakers are in a downward spiral...ah, too bad...listen, kids, LeBron has tried to come back...can't move...he can score....but can't play any D and hurts their team big time...very similar to what the Beard does to any team he is on...scores, but can't (or won't) defend...the champs will not repeat their title...as we say after getting a birdie on the course, ABFU...in this case, ACFU...

You know when I repeatedly say that I don't understand the stock market...I have a bit more in my brain in it, than the cryptocurrency thang...and the Futures were up this am, so....figure a good day...

The BEST album of the day...'The Beach Boys Today' by the duh...many of the 'experts' out there in the vast wasteland of the web net, say their best is the 'Pet Sounds' vinyl...no...this one is better and a rarity if you can find it...do so...the one I have is in 'Mono'...and am looking for a stereo version...Snooki probably stole my nicer one...

This just in...Verizon has agreed to sell Yahoo and AOL to the Apollo Global Management  for $5 billion bucks...ah, JJ, should we buy some of this stock?...why aren't they in Ether?...

Back when, we, the Shepards, would sit in front of the black and white tele...and faithfully watch Jed, Granny, Elle Mae, and Jethroe...never missed The Beverly Hillbillies...my mom would laugh and laugh at the antics of Granny...'there goes that noise again'...the doorbell...
