poo poo like tether means that theoretical liquidity has absolutely no connection to market cap like if stablecoins were *actually* just used for their apparent purpose (skirting around aml laws) then...well, crypto market caps would still be bullshit, but they'd be closer to the kind of bullshit that like a stock market cap is. like you still wouldn't be able to extract the full market cap by selling all the stuff, but there would be an actual observable relationship between the two. but since exchanges have incentive to keep tweaking the price because they make their money as a fraction of the "value" of the transaction....

Beeftweeter posted:that's all true and i'm guessing the sharp rise in LNG + coal prices also made it rapidly unaffordable for the jerks that bought up decommissioned power plants to run their dumb mining rigs. i really wish NY's moratorium legislation spawns a bunch of copycats, but lol that only happens with poo poo that tramples on people, not ~markets~ I wish NY would backtrack and bring Indian Point back online.

the entire bitcoin market infrastructure was people too young and too stupid to know better, who bought into the SV startup myth and believed they could run a multi-million dollar financial service from their parent's basement. the people nowadays are also complete idiots, but with shitloads of VC cash and the complete inability to learn anything at all from those who came before them
