1/19 THE ROAD TO BITCOIN RICHES ISN’T ALWAYS PAVED

2/19 When… Prius?

While the #bitcoin industry is infatuated with Lambos, @Rassah couldn't care less about suicide doors and instead purchased a planet-saving Prius.

There's one catch – he did it when bitcoin was at $22.

3/19 The ole' wiped the hard drive story

.@JosephFiscella is one of those – he mined #bitcoin in the early days, forgot about it and then reformatted his hard drive, erasing everything.

Don't worry, he's still holding out hope.

Beijing, after initially blocking requests from the United States, has agreed to permit authorities from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to take part in an international investigation of the global health crisis caused by the rapidly spreading Wuhan coronavirus.
The World Health Organization officially declared an international health emergency Thursday. WHO officials said the designation was not meant to be a “vote of no confidence” in the Chinese government’s handling of the crisis.
