Taking A Break?

In taking a much needed respite, we have been absent from SA of late. In tonight's discussion, we muse in typical fashion, about possible factors in the recent crypto mania and run up. 

On July 18th, 2014 we started a sixteen part series regarding the Digital Currency Paradigm. On May 4th, 2017 during a blue sky session, we shared our thoughts below in a private forum regarding the Crypto currency market.

Said observations, which you are about to read for the first time, can assuredly by added to a growing list indicating that somebody has been watching us closely or at the very least, is tuned to the same frequency.

Last Time Out

From A Quik $20 Trick? - Sinbad the Sailor - Every character in this film has an agenda and attempts to use the other characters to achieve it.  In a surprise ending replete with twist, the Emir's villainy is only matched by ethereal evil of the seemingly invisible spirit Jamal; "faceless, formless, like a genie from a jug"; karmic fate strikes strange bedfellows united through greed; while others discover the real treasure to be found in this life. 

As opposed to the real treasure to be found in this life, those "chasing the bag" seek wealth in the form of...

"Money, get away
Get a good job with more pay and you're O.K.
Money, it's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think I'll buy me a football team" 

Rock Solid Money?

Below, the classic Money, written by Roger Waters and noted for its unusual 7/4 – 4/4 time signature.  This uber popular smash hit comes from the timeless 1973 album, The Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd: David Gilmour, Nick Mason, Richard Wright and Roger Waters; and was produced by Alan Parsons.

 

"Money interested me enormously, I remember thinking, 'Well, this is it and I have to decide whether I'm really a socialist or not.' I'm still keen on a general welfare society, but I became a capitalist. You have to accept it. I remember coveting a Bentley like crazy. The only way to get something like that was through rock or the football pools. I very much wanted all that material stuff." - Roger Waters 1993

Although it held the number one spot in the US for only a week, following its initial release March 1, 1973, DSM remained in the Billboard album chart for 741 weeks.  DSM has charted over 900 weeks in the top 200 and achieved a combined total of 1,716 weeks on the Billboard 200 and Pop Catalog charts.
