      I know you're joking but keeping bitcoin now really does feel like a poor investment given it's showing no signs of ever being revived.

          oh i dont think its 'dead' in the way people often describe. More...done. Like, the period of obscene growth is over and its now seemingly settled into a fairly dull investment with mediocre returns.
