Wu-Tang BitCoin Ain't Nuthin' to F' Wit'

If you've been waiting for the next financial endeavor from the Wu-Tang Clan, you're in luck.  Ghostface Killah's world is now ruled by cryptocurrency instead of dolla dolla bill y'all.

C.R.E.A.M., indeed.

Now if you're thinking this is a sequel to Wu-Tang Financial, the hilarious David Chappelle sketch from back in the day, let me assure you this is 100% real.

Why A U2 Concert Is Better Than A New Prada Bag
"You never seen a hearse with a trailer hitch..."
 
Kristian Bush, "Trailer Hitch (Goodwill Version)"

Experiences > Stuff

Now a U2 concert may not be everyone's cup of tea.  It may be seeing your alma mater in the Rose Bowl (still waiting, Bear Down Arizona!), an experience as a family volunteering to help the less fortunate, or a family vacation that started with us locked on a military base eating bags of chips for dinner (don't ask); but the things that remain with us are the moments we experience. Those shared experiences get stronger over time as the stories get recounted and embellished.  Even the bad ones. The joy you felt when you picked up your iPhone 7 fades but your memories get sweeter.

Brand is Dead! (and Broadcast TV too)
It’s surprising how long things take and then shocking how fast they can happen....The only people left watching broadcast, ad-supported TV are going to be the poor or the technologically illiterate.

Goldman Sachs

Goldman Sachs Thanks Trump for DOW 20,000

Goldman Sachs Thanks Trump for DOW 20,000
We forget the things worth remembering, but remember the things worth forgetting.

The biggest contributor to the Dow's increase to 20,000 has been Goldman Sachs (GS), accounting for about a third of the last 1000 points.  The CEO, Lloyd Blankfein has seen his Goldman stake increase by close to $200 MILLION.  The #2 guy there?  Gary Cohn just left Goldman to jump on the Trump Train, unlocking close to $300 MILLION in compensation by doing so.

Yes, that's the same Goldman Sachs that was once described as a "great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money."
