Scary stuff.

Oh good, they secured a 8B IMF loan. Nothing like fake instant demand for the US Dollar and tbills that will never be paid back.

I'm well ahead of there. I spent all my savings and had to cash in an entire Bitcoin last autumn to clear debts. Right now I can't get a job even in a gas station. Can anyone out there beat that?

PS. I hope my book sells.

Tahrir square getting crowded yet?
