FWIW, another local anarchist had asked around the scene at the time (2015), and couldn't find anyone who knew about this one. So, probably fiction. But goddamn, it's pitch perfect.

It's funny because it's a guy trying to make up a fantasy of what amounts to reasonable_hitler.jpeg with ancap, except for anyone who isn't a brainworm infested mess, it reads as some good lads kicking a "just asking questions" fascist out and I'd say even in the fiction they were super reasonable and polite, I'm not sure I could have kept that level of composure with someone literally saying "the poor are subhuman"

Then he called me a fascist again, and someone else said I was a fascist. And then they basically all started shouting fascist at me, and one of them grabbed me by the wrists. They pulled me out the door, it was up three floors, and basically drug me down the stairs on my back. It hurt really bad and I remember yelling “you’re breaking the NAP” and things like that. “Stop initiating force against me.” Then they kicked me around on the ground in the hallway, before they took my camera and threw me outside. I was crying and stuff, I just sat there. I was in shock because it was so sudden. Looking back there were warning signs though.

Back to the Bitstamp/Bitmex thing, if that actually paid off for whoever was responsible, how do you eliminate that exploit?

Regulation and other such cursewords

The exploit is also less exploitable in real markets where the entire volume isn't entirely made up of wash trading. If there's an actual market, $40M will have little effect. That's also why penny stock spams were a thing for a while 15 years ago: no real market, so scammers were doing the exact same thing (though strictly speaking more pump-and-dumps) until they were stopped by the FTC. What I am saying is, Bitcoin is once again nothing but a reinvention of scams of real financial markets past.

I wrote an explainer, aimed at normal people. Please ask questions, including "dumb" ones - I really wanna make this work for normal humans wondering WTF is going on here.

I follow McAfee on Twitter because there's a better than average chance he will Livestream himself going down in a hail of bullets. Mainly he's just shilling for dumbshit coins which I imagine is his primary source of income.

Wasn't it just 5k coins recently that cause the ~value~ to go down like 2k/coin? Imagine dumping just 50k coins.

I'm waiting for someone to catch up on him deliberately pumping and dumping his own coin during this copyright claim. Anyway, he doesn't even get the copyright. https://www.coindesk.com/us-copyright-office-says-it-does-not-recognize-craig-wright-as-satoshi.
