If I were forced to choose between a billion Zimbabwean dollars and a billion in bitcoin?

I'd opt for the Zimbabwean bucks and the fact that even though fit only for outhouse duty, or able to purchase a couple of loaves of real, freshly baked and hot from the oven, bread.

I can hold them, shuffle them, and wave them all over the place, or flush them after they've served at lest one useful purpose.

Bitcoin is vastly less tenuous than the smoke, in the smoke and mirrors magic that created bitcoin! Or, nothing from nothing! I've got acres of it!

You want some? Send a billion in U.S.D to my box number! And when I've banked your cheque then had it validated and turned into gold bullion!

I'll send ten billions worth of my personally created bitcoin to your return address!

In a cubic metre box and by special air freight! With a set of, personally autographed, free steak knives!

And if you act today, now, this very minute! I'll double the offer! And the number of steak knives!

Don't delay, this entirely unbelievable offer self destructs in ten minutes! Tick, tick, tick tick!

"That's why HIVE has set up in Iceland, where Mother Nature's natural cooling is friendly to these massive computing facilities, and where the massive energy required to mine cryptocurrency-in this case Ether - on an industrial scale is cheaper thanks to plentiful hydroelectric and geothermal sources."
Russia's Central Ether Mine announced that AIDS start-ups are dead in their tracks and in jail. It has a 51% stake in Bolivian Thorium HIVE generating 4.5 giga Bit-bites/second , from a low 1.98kw way back last century .
