Growing up in an Italian household, I frequently heard the word Giambott. It is an Italian vegetable stew made with potatoes and zucchini. The actual pronunciation is Ciamotta. The Irish also make claims on this dish (They use cabbage of course) but no one takes the Irish seriously when it comes to food. It sometimes referred to as a summer stew, also known as Poverty Stew. We weren’t poor but we ate it year round. It became much more than just a stew. It grew into a fine meal when family time at meals were special and meant something. This mixture was often referred to as a hodgepodge or a mishmash. The correct word today is medley. This sounds more pleasant and almost musical. It was a really just a collection of whatever was in the refrigerator at the end of the week. Everyone knew it was a sin to throw food away because there were children starving in some far off land. We never saw them but we knew they were there. The threat was significant enough to clean our plates. Our leftovers became our delicious banquet. This book is like that collection of random leftovers (Some may have gone bad). There are some short stories based upon life’s observations or experiences, short pieces of fiction and marriage advise. Please do not follow any advise from me. I haven’t figured out anything yet. The book also contains at least one actual song. You can try singing the other parts but it won’t make any sense. I have intermingled my favorite recipes throughout the stories to be savored and enjoyed, preferably with a glass of wine or a case of beer, whatever it takes to make it more palatable or help you choke it down. Please do not eat while reading this book because it may lead to actual choking. My Heimlich skills do not work over the phone and 911 operators can’t understand muffled grunts. You have been warned.

The Bitcoin Revolution Is Here! Bitcoin is fast becoming the most popular method of paying online. Although it has been around since 2008, there are still some people that have either never heard of the service or that do not know its uses. Some people simply thought that Bitcoin “is just another online service” that allows you to make purchases on other sites. But there is more to it than that. This book is your guide to the world of Bitcoin. It will describe to you what Bitcoin is and how it is used. If you are familiar with other online payment methods, you will feel more confident in using Bitcoin as your method of choice.The Bitcoin payment system has one feature that others do not have: anonymity. Your name shows on your transactions with other payment services, but not with Bitcoin. This book will explain that concept to you, as well as its other uses. Since Bitcoin transactions are anonymous, any connected bank account or credit card cannot be found by hackers. They do not have access to your name or your email address, which makes it more difficult for them to access any of your financial information. This is explained further in the book, so get reading and get your Bitcoin going. Here Is a Preview of What You’ll Learn Here… Bitcoin Defined Bitcoin Uses How to Use Bitcoin Caveats with Bitcoin And much much more... Get this book NOW and learn about Bitcoin!

Through this material, you can confidently get into the cryptocurrency market, buy your first Bitcoin (and other coins) and start investing.

Almost everything else one reads about bitcoin is either utopian fantasy, wishful thinking, nonsense, marketing, technobabble, or false propaganda. Bitcoin is not a medium of exchange. It can't be because its price is too volatile. The transaction costs are too large and transaction time too slow for regular, small transactions. Only a tiny fraction of bitcoin transactions are used for legitimate real-world purchases and there are more illegitimate purchases than legitimate. Bitcoin is not a store of value. A store of value does not regularly drop 20% in one day. Bitcoin does not qualify as an "investment" since no underlying asset exists. Accurately described, bitcoin is an accounting system for a non-existent asset. Readers will remember that, in 17th Century Holland, the price of tulips rose to extraordinary heights and then collapsed. It was called Tulipmania and is the accepted term for economic bubbles built on assets of inherently little value. At least, back then, there was a legitimate, if insignificant, asset - a tulip bulb. It is irrelevant that a limit has been set on the maximum number of bitcoin. Each coin is worth zero and the total value remains zero no matter the maximum number. Any true utility of bitcoin for the tiny fraction of one percent of transactions representing legitimate purchases that are made using this new form of purported digital currency is far outweighed by the massive risk to the punters who speculate in this risky game. Credulous people are taking the bait and gambling away their life savings. Every day that this bubble is allowed to grow, thousands more innocent bystanders are drawn into a game where only the House - those operating the bitcoin gambling casino - wins. Many people are winning in the bitcoin casino, especially the big traders and whales who can manipulate the market. However, no one is looking after the average punter. Gambling is regulated in the US and throughout much of the world. Why aren't the gambling regulators stepping in to investigate bitcoin gambling? A good number of people may be starting to consider bitcoin as part of their retirement investments. In May 2021, a popular investor information service for the retail investor wrote an article entitled, "Is Bitcoin Safer for Retirement than Social Security". Some investors may even borrow to increase their bitcoin holdings, or use their bitcoin as collateral for loans. Many people could then lose a great deal of money, question the whole system, and ask "Why didn't anybody protect me?" This book is to try to protect the average person. Bitcoin is nothing more and nothing less than gambling. About the author Mr. Bob Seeman is an entrepreneur and technology, legal and business advisor.

Have you wondered what the big deal is in Bitcoin? Like you, I was too busy working and raising a family to figure out Bitcoin. It felt like the domain of digital cowboys, gamers, and boys with supercomputers in their basements. Yet as time went on and Bitcoin’s tremendous growth has made millionaires on the upside and bald men on the downside, I decided to look into it—mostly out of fear of missing out. If Bitcoin is truly the future of money and it lives up to its promise as a non-inflating currency, then I want to not only get in on the action, but to understand the mathematics, economics, and culture behind it. This book is for the busy woman who wants to discover Bitcoin and understand enough of its mathematics and technology in order to gain conviction on how she’ll relate to Bitcoin. • You will learn about sound and unsound money, and why Bitcoin can never be inflated. • You will understand the way Bitcoin is created and why it is stronger and more secure than other cryptocurrencies. • You will get an introduction on ways to invite Bitcoin into your life: exchanges, wallets, payment systems, affiliate rewards, and tax considerations. • You will also get a dose of Bitcoin FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) and explore reasons why Bitcoin might not be the right date for you. • Finally, you will be treated to a short list of influential women in the Bitcoin space to inspire you and let you know what can be done with Bitcoin to make the world a more equitable and inclusive place. Is Bitcoin the future of money or false hope for a cult of fanatics? Decide for yourself, and may the coin always bounce in your favor.
