B.C. by Mastroianni and Hart for November 04, 2023

I was expecting a vampire joke.

A way to assure me that it wasn’t created in a lab.

Maybe I’m an old geezer, but I have never heard anybody say proof-of-stake before. What is it supposed to mean? I still think the proof is in the pudding.

We have one dude facing 110 years in prision for crypto theft (whatever crypto is that you imagine) and I still can’t see what he gained?

The start of Bitcoin captured my boss’s imagination. He had a fair number of coins but lost his password! To me it felt like a Ponzi, chain letter, pyramid scheme all wrapped in a prime number generating spreadsheet….

Looks like there’ll be no more color in BC.

Why did the cryptocurrency brush its teeth?

It wanted to remove the bitcoin tartar!

What kind of music do cryptocurrency miners listen to?

Blockchain and roll!

What did the crypto say when it had a successful trade?

“That was byte-tastic!”

How do you become a millionaire with crypto?

Start as a billionaire!

How do cryptocurrency enthusiasts stay warm in winter?

They use bitcoin heaters!

What do you call a cryptocurrency that loves to gamble?

Bitcoin on the roulette.

The fact that it contains the word Crypt in the name says a lot…..

Does the way that they drew Grog’s nose in the second panel make it look like he’s blowing some bubble gun?

Cryptocurrency is like Fairy Dust; it only works if you believe in it.

B.C. Before color

I don’t get it. I’ve never heard ‘Proof of Stake’

Stop with the crypto, maybe you wouldn’t need antidepressants!

Crypto is about as safe an investment as Beanie Babies were in the 80’s.

Yeah, Grog, The Count doesn’t get it either. Or care. Dilly! Dilly!

The biggest scam in history!

I looked it up on Wikipedia and now I’m even more confused: Proof-of-stake (PoS) protocols are a class of consensus mechanisms for blockchains that work by selecting validators in proportion to their quantity of holdings in the associated cryptocurrency. This is done to avoid the computational cost of proof-of-work (POW) schemes. The first functioning use of PoS for cryptocurrency was Peercoin in 2012, although the scheme, on the surface, still resembled a POW.

Prisoner Of War schemes ? Like Hogan’s Heroes ?

Crypto is ALL a scam, there is nothing behind the curtain. This is not the only Crypto Lord of the Universe who will be sent to jail.

To sum up the gazillion above comments……Crypto is imaginary money, for which, you pay real money, hoping that your imaginary money will increase in value. Then you may sell it to another sucker at a profit.

What could possibly go wrong??

I read comics to get away from politics. I thought most people did the same. I guess I’m wrong.

Yesterday I saw a copy of “Bitcoin for Dummies” in my local bookstore. IMHO no book ever had a more accurate title.

When is M&H going to get some new crayons?

I thought he said proof of steak, where they show you the filet before they grill it.

Grog, or is it Gort, mine are at the 4 corners of my properties. Klaatu barada nikto.

Great expressive cartoon art today…

I think it’s cute, that they drew Grog looking like he has any idea what that says.

Losing money………or the chance there of…….depressing!

Insanity check: at present the capitalization of the major cryptocurrencies is about 54.5 billion USD, down from 174 billion two years ago today. Right at half of the current crypto is bitcoin.

Good thing for all non-investors is that a catastrophic event in the currency will not have a major effect on many economies.
