Reddit No Longer Accepts Bitcoin (fortune.com)

Reddit, one of the most active hubs of Bitcoin enthusiasts, has dropped its support for the cryptocurrency. From a report: The widely read social media site will no longer accept Bitcoin as payment for its Reddit Gold program. A person claiming to be an administrator on the site told users who were grumbling about the shift that the decision was made, in part, due to Coinbase discontinuing its Merchant Tool product. "The upcoming Coinbase change, combined with some bugs around the Bitcoin payment option that were affecting purchases for certain users, led us to remove Bitcoin as a payment option," said user "emoney04."

BitCoin down (c) $650 today alone to $7200. I would imaging all those people who jumped on when it was $20K got a lesson on stock market trading.
Too bad for all the millennials who threw what little they had in retirement at this debacle. really, I feel bad for them. remember kids, real estate. Real land, real assets.
