<p>and greed is what gets more people in more trouble. Greed is when you over pay when you hear about the neighbor making a lot of money. So you try to run into Bitcoin and you buy it at the high. And also that tumbles after that. And so earlier this year in January, I was watching like early January was watching Bitcoin, and it was in one weekend. It went from, like 20,000 up to 33,000, almost 34,000 for one coin. Now you don't. There's no such thing as a coin, though. It's electronic coin, so you don't even get a hold of coin for it. So it's like on your computer, and then overnight it went from, like 34,000 down to 31,000. So if you paid 34,000 for one coin and then you went to bed and woke up, it's only worth 31,000. That's that's a big that's a big difference. And so we just need to be careful. Nothing wrong with speculating, but only with money we can afford to lose and to me, and I bought some ethereum in April of 2020 at $200 a coin. Ethereum is a competitor, a Bitcoin or another one of those in the Blockchain. We'll talk about Blockchain a minute to I think Blockchain is a good thing. But Ethereum went from 202,000. In that same time, Bitcoin was going up. So that's a pretty big percentage to know. I only I only bought like three of them. So because I didn't know what I was doing, I want to get let me get some of this theory and everyone's talking about clunking overpaid for Bitcoin. I should have because Bitcoin was like 4000 at the time, so I would have gone from 4000 to 34,000. I've been very happy and I would've dragged everybody about how smart I was, but I didn't know what I was doing So again, I took money that, like, $500 or so 600 bucks, I really could afford to lose that. And I bought a couple or three of those Ethereum. So don't go wild folks with this Bitcoin mania. Gosh, I remember hearing about it. I had a little tech guy who worked in the studio in 2009 with me, and he started telling about this Bitcoin. It was worth $300 a coin, and he had a buddy who got in at, like a penny. I wish you would've told me So where were you when it was a penny? I would have bought probably about $1000 worth of that, but it's it's almost well, it's too late, in my opinion. But it could go. This article's coming out saying to go to 300,000 coin or whatever, Who knows? I don't know. You don't know. Most people writing articles don't know. So be very careful, folks. And if you want to speculate a little bit, do that. But do not take money out of your retirement plan and put it in there, in my opinion, and so this is an investment city. It's whatever you feel good with. But what I say is, let's not put ourselves in a bad place by over paying for something that we have no idea of, and most people I talk to don't understand. Sure, a lot of people, I think we'll get caught up in the hype and the excitement and they want to do it because their friends are doing it. But they don't really know what it's all about. Well, I don't even own any Bitcoin, but I watch it on my phone every single day. So there's a little app where you every single minute you can watch it. And here's another thing about this exchange where the Bitcoin is traded on its 24 73 65. It never closes, at least with the stock market. If your if your stocks getting beat up at four o'clock, the market closes the next day. Maybe people forgot it was getting beat up and it might recover. But the Bitcoin is constant is sort of like trading currency, which is another one of those 24 73 65 exchanges. So be very careful. Don't get wild, but if you want to buy a couple by a couple but don't take money, you can't afford to lose by sure, absolutely mhm.</p>

I'm meteorologist K Campbell in the wr severe weather center. Here's your weekend forecast looks pretty good. On Saturday, there is a small chance for rain. That would be first thing very early in the morning in our northern counties. The rest of the day looks pretty good, partly cloudy, mid to perhaps upper seventies. By Sunday, it's much cooler. Highs struggle to get into the sixties even. It's a cloudy day and we've got some scattered showers in the forecast Sunday, but we're on the stable side of the front. So we're not severe weather on Sunday and we really could use some rain. We'll get to that in a minute. Let's talk about your Saturday planner because that's going to be the day to be outside 63 at 8 a.m. by noon, 71 and will be in the mid to upper seventies during the afternoon. Still in the low to mid seventies by dinner time. Future cash shows pretty quiet, start to the day. Perhaps a few showers in our northern counties and cloud cover to start, but those clouds clear and we'll see more sunshine later on before we cloud back overnight into Sunday morning. Scattered showers are possible throughout the first part of the day, Sunday and then we'll see a band of steadier rain make its way in as we head into Sunday evening and perhaps Sunday night as well. Early on, we need any rain, we can get the drought monitor showing an expanded region for abnormally dry and yellow. That's the morning stage before you reach drought status. So we really need some rain to prevent drought from developing as we head into the month of May. The system that's bringing our rain chances for your Friday night is this area of low pressure along with a cold front draped to the south. That cold front is going to knock temperatures down as well. We're down to 46 degrees on Monday morning, 44 we had to lower the low Tuesday morning because there's not likely to be as much cloud cover and that's going to allow temperatures to fall even further. But for the weekend morning will wake up to temperatures near 60 Saturday morning and in the lower fifties again on Sunday morning. If you are running the Tar Heel 10 miler, we got some pretty nice weather for it. A 20% chance for rain for early on. Otherwise temperatures will be in the low to mid 60 s. Looks like some pretty good running weather for us. Looking ahead to next week, we're still on the cooler side start 66. But Monday trending more sunshine And then as we get into Tuesday, Wednesday, we're likely to be back in the seventies, Wednesday. We've got a cold front coming the way it looks now. Only a small 20% chance for rain with the front, but it is going to knock temperatures down again. Not as dramatic but low temperatures could be back in the upper forties with highs in the upper sixties to lower seventies toward the end of next week.
