Lol. One of the clauses for termination of the Twitter deal is fraud on their data. Looks to me like Musk is looking for a face saving way of backing out of the deal.

There Bias Two posted:Why the hell would anyone interact with the exchanges if they can, whenever you make a profit they don't like, completely reverse it on a whim? Because blockchains don't work, so they had to invent banking to get around that. If you had a bitcoin and wanted to turn I into real money, you have to find someone who will give you a pile of cash in exchange for your coin. Turns out that doing this person to person is a really bad idea even before you get into the problems of successfully doing a transaction on the blockchain. So you have someone holding your coin and cash for you so you can trade them around more freely. Of course, this relies on that bank being trustworthy and willing to actually give you real cash when you ask for it rather than using their own script...

You saw this exact same thing happen around 99/00 when the dot com bubble was priming to pop. In particular the superbowl was loving FULL of adds for poo poo like e-stamp.com and pets.com. Lots of arena renamings iirc, and a poo poo ton of other sponsorships, all driving retail investors into a market that imploded in the next year. It's the same pattern of insane/aspirational valuation getting a lot of attention and thus more cash and that cash getting spent in flashy and nuts ways to draw more cash to spend more to draw more. . . before it finally takes a poo poo.

Party Ape posted:The large amount of institutional money makes things a lot more spicy but not because of the risk of regulation, but because they'll all just cut and run without a seconds hesitation if they have to. with the rationalisation that "Ok, we put a third of our 200 billion dollar 'high risk fund' into bitcoin but we managed to recover 15b of that while driving the price to 0 and loving over our competitors who lost even more so we did well'. So is this starting on Monday or what? The most psychotic thing about crypto trading is that there are no more nights and weekends for traders, the markets never close. These greedy fuckers have to watch their poo poo 24/7 because things can start happening at any time, not just when melondaddy wants some attention. Imagine the tension if you're trying to unwind your crackpot scheme with thousands of other tweaked out bluffers all at the same time. Phone pinging all the loving time with all the notifications you've got set up. Hoping you can shoot your shot before it all comes crashing down. There's gonna be a ton of people who can see the end coming and they're going to get themselves out any way they can. The wheels are gonna come FLYING off the whole thing in not too long.

Crypto.com's shenanigans remind me of when somebody is caught card counting in a casino and they aren't allowed to play anymore but they do get to keep their winnings because the casino can't prove that they used any cheating device other than their brain and they don't want the hassle of being known to be a place that takes money from people who win but in this case it would be like they claim that the person was card counting even without evidence take all their money and kick them out of the casino. When I'm basically saying is that casinos of all places have more common sense than crypto.com and I find that loving hilarious.

greazeball posted:So is this starting on Monday or what? Honestly, I think everyone is just guessing at this point because we just don't know anything anymore. The brazen, transparent corruption endemic to cryptocurrency means that the whole thing is a house of cards in a hurricane that could collapse at any minute for any of a hundred different reasons. On the other hand, with institutional investors and billionaire psychopaths now entangled in the grift, maybe there is always just enough propping the whole thing up for money to be extracted from the con at the expense of an inexhaustible supply of enthusiastic marks in the form of retail speculators believing that the 1000-to-1 longshot of overnight success is all but assured. I mean, gently caress, Amway's still around, right? Isn't that all cryptocurrency really is? Amway for nerds?

In regards to cashing your chips: Casinos in Vegas can refuse to cash your chips. If you just hand them a Flag ($5K) or Cranberry ($25K) and they've never seen you before. They're going to confiscate the chip, issue you a receipt and make you prove that you got that chip legally. And while you are correct, a lot of casinos _do_ try to gently caress over card counters. It is illegal in many states to do this for card counting and you generally have to get local law enforcement to go over and basically make them pay you out. They do it knowing they're in the wrong but they're willing to harass you over it.

If you click the link, the text is "Twitter Inc(TWTR.N)estimated", but (TWTR.N) is a hyperlink and for some reason got cut out of the Twitter preview. "Incestimated" is a pretty funny word, though. Guze posted:Going to leave work and exchange some FIAT for beer. Look, they're not reliable cars, but in the current auto market you can surely do better than that. I love how crypto idiots have turned "fiat" into "FIAT" as though it were one of their ticker symbols. "Funge it again, Token!"

Coworker has been playing with crypto, buying it and watching YouTube videos about it for 8 hours at work. When this all happened I made some jokes about him no longer being a millionaire and hoping he was smart enough to buy this dip which he said he already had. He spent the rest of the shift pretty much in silence, watching his crypto videos I'm guessing for reassurance. Basically this has really ruined my fun because now I feel bad for him, he's a nice guy. Crypto ruined my life by association. Please send help.

That is just sad. Probably the worst part is the people who have the money these people lost are definitely much more terrible people, which makes it hard to be happy about crypto bros losing their shirts.
