US rig count - 931

HOUSTON (AP) - The number of rigs exploring for oil and natural gas in the U.S. rose by one this week to 931.

That exceeds the 653 rigs that were active this time a year ago.

Houston oilfield services company Baker Hughes reported on Friday that 747 rigs were drilling for oil and 184 for natural gas this week.

Among oil- and gas-producing states, New Mexico gained four rigs, and North Dakota added one. Texas and Wyoming each lost two rigs, and Oklahoma lost one.

Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Kansas, Louisiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Utah and West Virginia were unchanged.

The U.S. rig count peaked at 4,530 in 1981. It bottomed out in May of 2016 at 404.

Bitcoin price crashed 47% in just 5 days.

https://www.investopedia.com/news/bitcoin-price-down-40-percent-5-days/?partner=YahooSA&yptr=yahoo

https://www.cnbc.com/2017/12/22/coinbase-one-of-the-biggest-bitcoin-marketplaces-says-buying-and-selling-temporarily-disabled-amid-price-rout.html?__source=yahoo%7Cfinance%7Cheadline%7Cheadline%7Cstory&par=yahoo&doc=104913889&yptr=yahoo

Bitcoin has crashed to as low as $10,400 yesterday from a high of $19,600 recently.  If you are a merchant that allows bitcoin payment, how will you feel about holding bitcoins in your asset account on the balance sheet?  Furthermore, the processing fee for bitcoin has gone up to as high as $40 per transaction and the processing time is 10min or more.  Consequently, bitcoin trading exchange like Coinbase will suspend bitcoin trading at its whim & fancy.  This will leave bitcoin holders with no avenue to cash out of bitcoins under volatile trading circumstances.  It is no wonder that merchants are starting to ditch bitcoin payment mode.

Some bitcoin fanatics are mortgaging their houses to buy bitcoins whilst others are borrowing from credit cards and other sources to buy bitcoins.  This credit borrowing behaviour is extremely dangerous for the financial market.

http://fortune.com/2017/12/12/bitcoin-investors-mortgages/

No wonder economists and governments are worrying that the burgeoning growth in bitcoin trading will cause other sectors of the financial industry to collapse because of this leveraged behaviour.

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/bitcoin-because-of-massive-borrowing-could-crash-the-financial-markets-2017-12-22?siteid=yhoof2&yptr=yahoo

The Japanese investors are most heavily impacted by the bitcoin crash last night because Japan is the largest bitcoin trading market currently.  Many Japanese retail investors put their life savings into this pseudo-currency to build up their retirement nests.  If they're burnt heavily, they'll have no choice but to cash out from other investments like stocks, properties, etc for travel and subsistence.  Therefore, Japan financial industry will be greatly affected by the ensuing outcome of the bitcoin crash.

UN condems Australia!

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/un-condemns-australia-apos-forced-052950038.html

This is how Australia is like.  No wonder Lee Kuan Yew called Australia, the white trash of the east.

It doesn't recognize PCA as an international court but expects China to adhere to PCA's ruling.

It doesn't want to fulfill its non-refoulment obligation but expects other countries to fulfill.

Therefore, UN condemns Australia now!

128 UN members rejected US recognition of Jerusalem status.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/dec/21/united-nations-un-vote-donald-trump-jerusalem-israel

128 vs 9 is the outcome of the latest UN votes on Jerusalem status.  The USA lost by a super big margin but this was only symbolic in nature.  However, this voting proves that UN members are adamant to show to the USA and its lackeys that are in need of USA's aids that UN won't be manipulated and held hostage by the USA.

Shame on you, USA!

New forks and new cryptocurrencies will cannibalize themselves and cause the decimation of such pseudo monies.  The danger is lurking now!
