tldr: someone spent 25 million dollars to push BTC price up $200 at the exact moment when an all time high number of shorts is trapped on an offline exchange, huge numbers of which will be liquidated at once in exactly 13 minutes when it reopens

At this point only the miners and a few whales and HODLERs are pumping and dumping each other. I am still convinced that crypto will be dead by end of the year/early next year. It's basically on life support already.

It'll not be dead by year end because the crypto central bank i.e. Bitfinex is still doing QE with Tether. Though I'm not sure what they imagine the end-game will be, eventually they'll own all the bitcoin, and then what?

Gavin Wood, the cofounder of multibillion-dollar cryptocurrency project Ethereum, wrote a graphic blog post in 2013 in which he described having sex with an 11- or 12-year-old girl dying of AIDS.

Wood confirmed he authored the blog post, but in a statement to BuzzFeed News described it as fiction and “a made-up story meant to spark debate and conversation.”

“My blog posts at the time were meant to provoke intellectual debate and discussion around generally taboo subjects like the nature of consent,” he wrote. “Nothing about it should be taken as indicative of my personal position.”

Ah yes, I can only imagine the dense philosophical debate and intellectual discussion about the nature of humanity and the difficulties of creating an ethical society when ethics itself is a social construct that would naturally form in the comments section of an online blog post detailing how you hosed a 12-year-old girl dying of AIDS and presenting it as a true story.

It won't die any time soon for the same reason why it got as big as it did despite being objectively stupid: there are so many libertarian nutters who believe in it so much they keep it alive through sheer force of will (and losing their life savings, over and over and over)

On Dec. 18, 2013, Wood, then 33, posted a first-person account of a relationship with a much younger girl from a troubled family named Elizabeth, a neighbor of his grandmother’s whom he claimed to have known since her birth. Wood wrote that he used to babysit Elizabeth.

When Wood was 13 and Elizabeth just 6, she was “found to have HIV and be in the advanced stages of AIDS,” he wrote. (He said the “theory” was that she had “inherited it from her father,” although HIV and AIDS aren’t hereditary.) They grew closer over the next few years, and Wood “began to notice just how beautiful she was,” with “large, innocent brown eyes coupled with a mischievous grin, a slim figure and quite average height.”

“The tragedy of her illness, combined with her exquisite attitude only added to her beauty,” Wood wrote.

In December 1998 — when Wood was 18, meaning Elizabeth would have been only 11 or 12 — the girl told Wood she was dying, according to his post. “Her young body was maturing behind her mind” and she wanted “to know love,” Wood wrote. He claimed she asked him to “take her virginity” while he was home for the Christmas holidays from university and described the sexual incident that followed in detail.

“By the next morning, she was tired and sore, but more content than she had ever known,” Wood wrote, adding that Elizabeth died a few days later.

A search of national and county death records, along with newspaper and obituary clippings, yielded no evidence of the death of a child named Elizabeth in Lancashire County on or around Dec. 31, 1998. Wood wrote that Elizabeth died on New Year’s Eve the year he turned 18 and moved away to attend university, but not before he “gave her youthful lips a final kiss.” A Lancashire county official and an administrator for the General Register Office for England and Wales told BuzzFeed News it would likely be impossible to obtain death records for a minor without her last name.

Cody Wilson will go down as one of the most important figures in the history of human liberty. If you haven't downloaded the designs, do so while you still can.

It's sad this happened to him, but not surprising. I don't know if he actually did it or not, but the point is that it doesn't matter. Whether it was a successful honeytrap or made to look like one, for most people he'll just look guilty.

If you read this, Cody, thanks for everything you did and all you sacrificed. I hope you've put enough bitcoin away that you can disappear and enjoy a long happy life. If anyone is advising you to turn yourself in, don't listen to them. You'll just become another Ross. The government doesn't care if you're guilty. They only want you dead or in prison. Get away and have the happy retirement you've earned.

The last two interviews I heard from Cody Wilson were on The Ralph Retort's Killstream and Dick Masterson's The Dick Show. I highly recommend listening to both of them.

Incidently, a little advice for all of you: no one you sleep with should ever know your name or how to find you.

I see what he was going for. Have sex w/ 12 year old w/ aids. Contract aids. Go to prison. Get butt raped and your rear end beaten. Spread aids among the prison populace.

He's just a vigilante.

What in the christ? So the government- somehow knowing that even at 11 years old he was destined to be a captain of industry and a threat to their future- sent a 6 year old girl undercover to woo him with stories of having AIDS, all so they could discredit him on a forum full of incels 20 years later?

The US government does not get enough credit for its resourcefulness from conspiracy theorists
