There's a classic Russian novel called Dead Souls (not to be confused with a theoretical souls-like game of the same or similar name). It's about a scammer who buys off already dead serfs. The serfs are still on the books, so he can legally purchase them, and hopes to use them as collateral for an enormous bank loan that he wants to pocket. The novel is supposed to be a semi-absurdist satirical piece about ignorance, corruption, and bureaucracy, but I guess it's actually a vision of a cyberpunk utopia.

i missed this in the whole 600 billion hack stupidityhttps://www.forbes.com/sites/jonath...sh=48ce37b719cb posted:* The only assets yet to be returned are USDT tokens valued at roughly $33 million that the token’s issuer, Tether, said it froze on Tuesday to prevent the hacker from moving the funds; Tether did not immediately respond to Forbes’ request for comment about its plans for the tokens. isn't one of their dipshit arguments for ePogs that nobody can freeze their assets?

A bitcoin mining power plant secretly set up shop in Alberta. Now, it's being forced to shut down.quote:When residents of an affluent estate community in Alberta started hearing noise from a nearby power plant, they didn't expect their complaints of sleepless nights would lead to a months-long investigation that would find the company had set up operations without approval.

really this is my favorite part of the whole thing thoughquote:"There's definitely a lot of concern that I think is warranted around the environmental impact of bitcoin and what is the benefit of using all of this energy … and in particular the potential for bitcoin operations to end up extending the lifetime of older energy infrastructure that would otherwise be retired," she said. there's a real concern about bitcoin extending the lifetime of older energy infrastructure that would otherwise be retired. but don't worry, all we're doing is using older energy infrastructure that was otherwise retired. e: oh it's two different people saying the first and second part, still good job pairing them with each other in that specific way article author
