I'd like do get your take on BitCoin while we are at it.
The 48hrs comes from this....

Check the posted dates of these official announcements.

Bitcoin... I'm not 100% sold on it (privately issued), but I am 100% sure that a Centralized Official type is dangerous as it would allow governments to "manage" all purchases and stop what they don't want you to have. Kind of like a pinpoint version of what Trudeau did by confiscating the accounts of the truckers during their protest, except it would also give the government a detailed receipt of all purchases and the ability to enact fines for that and/or block further purchases.
