“I am happy to confirm that James and Melissa Holzhauer made a $10,000 check to the Las Vegas-Clark County Library District Foundation on April 11 to support early learning and homework help services at the Library District,” said Danielle Milam, development and planning director at the Las Vegas-Clark County Library District and Foundation.

Seems Brad Rutter - the all time winner in cash on Jeopardy has finally weighed in on the #JeopardyJames phenomena too.

Can a Brad - Ken - James "charity event" be far away?
excerpt
“James is probably the end point of a trend that's been going on for a while,” Rutter said. “If you look at it statistically, people have not been betting enough on Daily Doubles through the vast majority of the history of ‘Jeopardy!’  And I think that helped me out in the finals of the All-Star tournament, when I knew I was going to go in (big) if I got them, and it ended up working out for me.”

Exactly How The "Jeopardy Guy" Will Lose

He's become "the Jeopardy Guy" - with his amazing accumulation of wins and unique style - to become an icon for game show history - and now an internet sensation. But you only hit this story to find out how he is going to lose, right?

Well before that.....

First...he's changed the entire Jeopardy game in less than 3 weeks play. As watchers know... he generally is starting with the hardest and most valuable (moneywise) question in the category - to accumulate the MOST money possible BEFORE he encounters the "daily double"....which he then goes "all in" in round one every time. And, he generally is the one to find that and every daily double - because of his unrelenting board control. 

Indeed...the breadth of his knowledge boarders on having an imbedded computer in his brain, as it is nearly instantaneous with answers in most categories. It's easy to imagine he is "cheating" (remember the 64,000 Dollar Question in the olden days?) in some sort of manner (questions in advance at the minimum) especially with that coyish smile he carries.

Alright...so how does he lose? Well, there is the slightest chance that he will get carried away and bet stupidly...but as a professional gambler..that isn't likely. No one is going to go into Final Jeopardy double their score and catch him betting too much and losing with a wrong answer. NO ONE. So, might he bet a lot of his total and miss TWO of the Double Jeopardy's? And...therefore be catchable by some other contestant? All I can say is it is very doubtful. Indeed...these are about the only ways he can so-called "lose", in the old idea of the game --- and it's simply - highly unlikely.

No, the Jeopardy Guy will NOT lose... ever. He will ONLY BE BEATEN BY THE EXACT SAME STRATEGY - and even then, there will need to be a special circumstance IMO. What it will take is a "match" between James Holzhauer and someone worthy. Note that I said... someone. NOT two other competitors...one competitor will have to be literally non-existent and a non factor. That and only that will produce the "match" aspect between the Jeopardy Guy and the challenger.

Then, the challenger will need to adopt THE EXACT STYLE used already by James Holzhauer - nothing else will work. I'm already looking for that one competitor who goes all in on the first round Double Jeopardy. Oh...and a weird mix of categories would be helpful too.... If no one adopts the new style and soon... this guy could break the bank and beat the house.

BITCOIN UP 800 DOLLARS IN ONE HOUR

A few buddies had to bear all my talk about Bitcoin as I began purchasing it in Aug. 2014 to April 2016 (purchasing it for as low as 190 in early 2015) - and selling it in 2017 and early 2018 - (beginning at 7,000 as high as 19,000 and back down to 11,000) - keeping everything I still had at that point. It went down to about 2,900 six-8 months ago and stayed below 4,000 for a considerable amount of time.

Obviously...I bring this up for a reason. Bitcoin went up 750 last night and is trading around 4800 (things change rapidly) .... I was asked by a buddy, not too long ago when Bitcoin was staying around 3100, if I thought Bitcoin 1500 or Bitcoin 15000 was more likely - I answered it was equal chance and that both could happen.

Well.... the big big money seems to have made up their mind (Bitcoin at this point can be easily manipulated by multi billion dollar moves)...15 billion of its 83 billion dollar market cap was traded. Oh...this spike and whatever comes next...in the next hours or days or perhaps weeks - will largely be the stress test for the new "stable coins" pegged at the US Dollar. In nearly all circumstances...these stable coins are backed by LARGE investment companies. The stable coins are a new phenomena....in crypto trading largely and this is a first big test. EVERY major coin is up the last 24 hours in cash value.

This spike (which is what it could be) came almost at the very moment Bitcoin was set to go below EXACTLY 50.0% of the total market cap of all cryptocurrencies. The rally has put that number back at 51.8% - so.. all the move could be nothing more than big money defending the 50% line and the concept of Bitcoin as a store of value...... BTW...there are over 2130 "coins and tokens" right now on https://coinmarketcap.com/all/views/all/

The technology of these blockchain coins have come a long way - I'd estimate at least 100 of these coins have real potential to have a real product and clients who want to use their blockchain technology. They aren't hard to find...using the link above they have self sorted themselves largely....finding the needle in the haystack is still possible (easily too). (I shit you not I had a coin go up 75% the other day that I owned.) But you have to do your homework.

So...let me declare today that 15000 is more likely than 1500. And...it's time to get in.
