it's almost as if the fundamental premise of buttcoin -- a trustless economy -- is lunacy and the only way to function in a society that includes other people is to have faith and credit in the other actors of your system

You guys aren't going to believe this, but that guy is our games teacher.
Tether did submit some kind of evidence to the SEC or another US regulator last year that they in fact have assets totaling (IIRC) 70% of their liabilities (including non-cash assets like Bitcoins). You'd think this would instantly cause the value of Tethers to drop to $0.70 on the "dollar" since that's the most you could expect to get for your Tether if all the backing assets were distributed evenly, but it's still trading in the $0.98-$1.00 range presumably because all the people who are willing to buy it think of it like a Ponzi where of course they'll be one of the ones to cash out before the money runs out.

turns out they’re fine with fractional reserve banking as long as it’s not the (((bankers))) doing it, who’d have guessed

how many of those "assets" are just more butts. i mean by that logic you could just put a random number in front of the percent sign and call it a day

Marian had gotten in a argument with her mother over how her grades were dropping /it ended up being her brothers/, Marian being not kin to arguments ran outside and hid from her mother. Later on she comes out but, ends up being kidnapped by a older man in his late 20's, he ended up cutting her hair and dying it a Gingerbread brown and making her wear green contacts. She was then sold online to a bidder by the name 'ScaryMan' for 1,000,000 Bitcoins. To this she was tortured and raped multiple times by the scary man and was later killed on accident during a rough sex with a rope being tightly pulled around her neck to much. Scary man then took her nose away for a safe keep and stitched her mouth up to a smile before he buried her. She was then summon on accident by Essence.

I took a $12,000 cash advance on my credit card to buy bitcoins. Please tell me I'm not crazy

Back when bitcoin was at 12k or so, I took a HUGE cash advance on my CC and bought bitcoins. The interest rate on it is 19.99% a year but I figure out bitcoin will rise a lot more than 20% per year, am I wrong?

I recently lost my job due to corona and this is the only money I had to buy bitcoins. Now I am the proud owner of one bitcoin. I figure, if bitcoin crashes, then the entire economy will crash anyway (see: stock market) so I don't mind.
I planned on hodling 1-2 years. Thoughts?

I'm pretty sure these figures were not rigorously audited and came out because of the pending NY lawsuit against tether, where one of the responses says "we pinky swear we have beeelllioonss of dollars, almost enough for 75% of all tethers" which is not truly exonerating AND also highly suspect since it's as far as anyone can tell still just a figure pulled from their rear end.
