4/5 @mcuban did, however, explain to TV viewers the reality of trading on regulated platforms: they collect sensitive data. "There's something called know-your-customer," he said. "They have to make sure you're not a money launderer or a fraudster." coindesk.com/dogecoin-mark-…
5/5 As if to further reassure @TheEllenShow viewers, @mcuban said @RobinhoodApp is "pretty good at keeping [data] secure. ... I didn't have a problem putting in my information."

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.
