Visited Oklahoma city downtown and lunch with family friend

Visited the downtown area around the OKlahoma convention center and the Botanical garden, which is a smaller scale of the Singapore version. Very hot and humid weather during this time of the year.

Had lunch with Son Vu and his wife Huong Le and daughter Eirene before they move to Texas.

Coinbase no longer allowed Business Bank account to be linked

Coinbase removed my business bank account, and no longer allowing any business account to be linked. I wonder if this is a result of a $50,000 I sold and I pay tax for back in 2018 where Key bank flagged as suspicious and threaten to terminate my account.

In Indianapolis Zoo and largest Children Museum in the USA

Zoon was nice and clean, watched dolphin show. Not as good as Singapore zoo though.

Children Museum in Indianapolis appears to be the largest in the USA. There were a lot of stuff to see and hands on experience.

Bitcoin price hit $20,000.00 per BTC

Today Bitcoin (BTC) hit all time high $20,000.00 (USD) January 2018. Sadly it didn’t last long before falling like a rock back down to $2,200.00

I must say during this time, my portfolio was about $2.5Million, and I did sold some and yes I paid tax, lots of tax, like $40,000 in tax back in 2018. During this time I remember telling my wife that we have nothing to worry about our future finance as long as we maintain the same living cost and my wife doesn’t have to work. However sadly it didn’t last long before BTC went from $20k down to $2k within a month or two then stuck there for a great while. Off course I was a little depressed but I didn’t loose faith, I know that one day it will go back up again, and probably the same thing will happen, up big time then down big time, so you know what to do then? yes sell and pay your tax. read more
