The dude has a raging woody for Trump, his cartoons always seem to consist of an incredibly huge, muscular trump flexing so hard that the democrats/communists/jews/blacks (he's also a racist, go figure) get instantly destroyed by the power of trumps perfect physique and hair-do, so it's no surprise that he'd be pro-4chan.

WE GET IT. YOU LOVE GUN JESUS. Toujours des fusils Bullpup Français.
I just remembered that last summer I bought a watermelon, chopped it up into pieces to savor later, and had to dispose of the rinds. The green bits with hardly any pink stuff clinging to it that you're not supposed to eat, that stuff. I dumped it in into a wild weed bed further into the woods instead of composting it, deciding maybe the deer can eat it instead of the plants once it rots and decomposes.

So then the next day I go out to remove some dead branches and stuff, my approach startled a small herd of bitcoins off to the side in the wild grasses: one bit and two coins. I saw them run for their lives as I approached at least 50 feet away off to the side, not even going near them because they're that skittish and stupid. However, as their tails were lifted up to give warnings to other bitcoins and running away as fast as possible, all three of them had prominent crusty brown orbs on where their assholes would be.

When I investigated the rind dumping ground later, I realized the rinds were missing. They had no doubt eaten the watermelon rinds overnight, and it gave them the shits. Diarrhea and one of the bitcoins had a really unripe flower bud shitball right under its tail refusing to break off from it hopping 3 feet in the air with every bound and leap. All of them probably had dribbly runny brown streaks flow into the soil at the crack of dawn from the discard watermelon, too.

They all ran away further into the woods and I didn't see them or their poo poo-smeared blockchain rear end holes for a long time. Good.
The moral of the story I guess is that if you give food to bitcoins for whatever reason, give them watermelon rinds so you also give them the shits for Montezuma's Revenge.

Garrison started as a terrible Ron Paul “audit the fed”/“arrest the banksters” type, and was constantly getting his anti-Federal Reserve/anti-banking comics edited by 4chan into antisemitic propaganda (which was really easy to do, as his comics relied on the same tropes). He was really offended by that, and spent some time attacking the people trolling him rather than taking a good hard look at himself and his attitudes to see why his work was so fungible with nazi propaganda. Then eventually the alt-right lovebombed him and he fully joined their ranks. Now he’s the horrible monster we all know. https://www.wired.com/story/ben-garrison-alt-right-cartoonist/

yeah, tether is being massively pumped by the Chinese market. They don't have exchanges any more, so they buy Tethers over the counter. At a premium, no less - 7 CNY for one USDT, as opposed to the official rate of 6.7 CNY for one USD (according to @CNLedger). This gets them into the crypto markets, so they can gamble their little hearts out.

im sure itll be fine, fine

Do tethers not count as crypto currency? I don't understand how you can ban crypto exchanges but still let people buy tether. How do tethers even work if they're not a crypto currency?


Also why would any lender think this was a good idea? Number go up, the borrower will have no problem repaying. Number go down, they default and the collateral is worthless?

Even if it sounds like a conspiracy, jewish bankers won't allow anyone to have anything of value like gold. They are super pissed at crypto because they can't just outright buy or cease or steal it. And that is why we know that crypo is going to be worth a lot more in the future.

*In order to securely store transactions, data on the Libra Blockchain is protected by Merkle trees, a data structure used by other blockchains that enables the detection of any changes to existing data. Unlike previous blockchains, which view the blockchain as a collection of blocks of transactions, the Libra Blockchain is a single data structure that records the history of transactions and states over time. This implementation simplifies the work of applications accessing the blockchain, allowing them to read any data from any point in time and verify the integrity of that data using a unified framework.
