Liquid Communism

Gazpacho posted:

fake billionaires aside, it isn't saying much that crypto doesn't have "money in the system" because moving liquidity rather than letting it sit is a goal of any business operation. money only needs to be on the other side of a trade. taking Bitwise's estimates that 95% of volume is fake and bitcoins worth $273M are genuinely traded per day, if the Tinkertoy twins wanted to liquidate their 70,000 coins I think they could do it over the course of a year without distorting prices much

as for shitcoin "billionaires", lol

Moving liquidity is good for business, but terrible if you want to be a currency. Imagine having to take a full year to draw cash out of your bank account without taking a massive haircut due to lack of available funds.

How innovative of them to take something that was already possible with existing tech for ages, and do the same thing with ridiculous inefficient tech instead.

Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.

The convenient thing is you should already not buy anything from Ubisoft due to their attitudes toward sexual harassment and employee abuse. So you don't even need to avoid their games for NFTs.

I guess it will be pretty hilarious when it comes out that only Ubisoft employees bought any and they’re just selling them back and forth to inflate the price themselves. What I’m saying is Ubisoft Quartz is good.

They do it because it’s effective on people who don’t pay attention and is good PR. If you can show your average Joe how POORLY AND UNFAIRLY you’re being treated you become a sympathetic figure. If you’re a sympathetic figure then it’s easier to spin your lovely views that can’t stand on their own merit.

Historically speaking, the poo poo works because most people are decent human beings who want to treat other people fairly. Which is why you generally see lovely people taking advantage (or trying to take advantage) of it.

Watch me try to laugh this title off like the dickbag I am.

I also hang out with racists.
I appreciate that video for not only calling it what it is (a ponzi), and meticulously running down the methods that will allow the ponzi to spike the football especiallyhard when it inevitably does, and then also explaining what a stablecoin is - without explaining why a stablecoin is, because this would be motherfucking hella illegal if done with real money and they need to obfuscate it with a fake money for it to function

If Salt Shakeup wants to toxx that Bitcoin will be 100,000 USD by the end of the year, I'm willing to be counterparty to that toxx. Salt Shakeup may accept this offer at any time until one week from the time I make this post.

T&Cs
- if Bitcoin is 100,000 USD or greater on a qualifying exchange at the end of the year (specifically: at 20220101T000000Z), I get banned. Otherwise, Salt Shakeup gets banned.
- Salt Shakeup gets to choose, after the fact, which exchange is used (but the exchange chosen must be a qualifying one as defined below).
- Bitcoin must be worth 100,000 USD on the chosen exchange - not USDT.
- A "qualifying exchange" is one where Bitcoin can be directly traded for USD and that is, as of 20220101T000000Z, permitting its users in general to withdraw at least one of USD, GBP, or EUR to their bank accounts, and is capable of furnishing those requests. (i.e. if an exchange has ceased to allow dollar withdrawals à la end-stage Mt Gox, it doesn't count. Nor does it count if matters beyond their control, e.g. government regulatory action, has rendered them unable to furnish withdrawal requests.)
