  BITCOIN Fights Back: Is This The Start Of Something Great? : BTC Fights Back: Is This The Start Of Something Great? Back in August,  Forbes reported  that George Ball, a big name in the investment world, put forward an interesting prediction.

To my surprise (not really) I began seeing ads for sports caps, ads for Intel, and ads for the Purple Mattress. As i had suspected, it was on my end, or so it would seem to solely be on my end. As of now I can only say that it is on my end as my search history and habits arent as robust as can be.   But it can also be due to the fact that our friends at Brave have not gotten enough companies and brands to use thei
