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.

My friend tweets about cryptography and security stuff as a hobby and his bio was something like "Crypto-Enthusiast" or something in 2015. He had to change it in 2020 because he kept getting dms about crypto currencies.

Maybe roughly the equivalent of accelerationist racists, like running naked unfettered capitalism into the ground to achieve a utopian socialist society? Could be a thing, I haven't checked.. it's exhausting studying every possible grouping on the internet who think they have figured everything out.

Crypto becoming shorthand for cryptocurrency has also made it real easy for the CIA to memoryhole the fact they ran Crypto AG and used the products of said company for spying. There's an awesome conspiracy theory here, but the US government and its spy agencies are too incompetent to manipulate search results or kick off twitter trends.

i was about to ask what "Crypto AG" was because you and me obviously thinkthe search results are noisey as hell but the first result is indeed the CIA one.

Though I keep my browser profile clean so they typical result is probably salty noise as hell with coin poo poo and porn.

What's the quote? Something like "I don't want to have my fate decided by the 12 people on earth who are too stupid to get out of jury duty". The alternative of a bench trial can be way worse with corrupt judges who get voted in based on their political ideologies just deciding cases based on their personal beliefs and feelings with no recourse.

It does make me wonder why the DOJ had such a hardon of the bitfinex hackers. As far as I can tell no major corporations or specific rich people who they serve were hurt so why do they care about worthless funny money being stolen from the poor?

Crypto is sexy, and billions ("billions") is still a lot of money. Plus it helps that it's not like you need to assign teams of agents to the field combing a physical crime site for clues when you can practically get a program to do 90% of your detective work parsing the immutable public ledger for anything that happens to the addresses which received the contraband.

I specifically put the AG on there because searching "crypto" or adding "business", "front", "government", etc. Will just give you cryptocurrency poo poo.

Anyways, I'm preparing myself for the 400 or so crypto ads that will play at the superbowl tonight. This is going to suck.

The link that the NFT points to no longer exists. The NFT itself wasn't seized, because an NFT is a bit of a json.

aka nfts are stupid and hopefully the people who bought them realize this but it sounds like that's not the case

In a few years, a significant portion of NFTs will point toward sites that don't exist. It's hotlinking on a forum but dumber.
