GOOD MORNING
The youtube video with the guy explaining a ton of Crypto / NFTs was interesting, thanks to whoever posted that a few pages back

It's great schadenfreude watching a lot of this go down but having to wade into Twitter Crypto posts is .. yeesh. It's disgusting.

A guy came to my house to do some work and started talking about crypto, says he listens to Bloomberg a lot and seemed like he has done a ton of homework. He had Bloomberg radio going for most of one of the days he was around the house and Bloomberg radio was nothing but CryptoCryptoCryptoCryptoCryptoCryptoCryptoCryptoCrypto all day long, I don't see how someone could do that, or work alongside someone that had that going all day, just endless news and speculation

Isn't "fren" for "friend" an online neonazi thing? From when they had a nazi subreddit all in baby talk in an attempt to avoid scrutiny.

The idea is that in order to have a truly "trustless" system, you need a sufficiently complex and rigid set of rules that every transaction must adhere to, enforced by code. And this code is held up as the one true law because things like "human judgment" influencing the outcome of transactions are seen as vectors for bad actors to exploit the system. If something goes wrong due to an oversight in the code, then tough luck, code is law. Just patch the oversight so it doesn't happen again! (they usually skip this step)

I honestly wonder how much pop culture have to do with this poo poo, in the sense that there seems to be an element of "wouldn't it be cool if money acted like it did in video games/movies/comic books?!", even subconsciously. I kind of feel that sort of thinking might be at the core of a few awful trends, like weird health supplements and open carry laws.

like a lot of extremely online nazi bullshit it's incredibly unlikely that anyone would pick that up as just a thing people say if they don't hang around a lot of extremely online nazis, but if you call em out on it it's on you to prove they're a nazi and there's no way to do that without sounding insane

Fren is just another dumb weird internet meme word like doge or snek or protecc and all kinds of people use it. It doesn't surprise me that it would be co-opted by internet Nazis but if you think anyone who says it is a Nazi, you are probably spending too much time in online Nazi spaces.

As long as the exchanges and whales that hold most of Tether don't try to sell it, it's hard to see how Tether will fail on its own. And since those exchanges have at least an indirect interest in keeping Tether alive (because if it keels over and dies tomorrow, the market drops 90%) and possibly a direct interest (through commercial paper issued to Tether or ownership interests), they won't.

Their backing might be dogshit, but there's probably enough real backing there to withstand a retail bank run.

My guess is Tether will fail either as a result of a wider crypto market crash, or slowly as it becomes superceded by better backed stablecoins (e.g. USDC which *seems* to be properly backed).

Tether exists to prove everything libertarians believe is nonsense. People will not under any circumstances, do any research on the stuff they invest in.

How much do I cum? The answer might surprise you!

people who had BTC before all the pandemic money flooded in would still be way up in profit.

just looking at the 5 year chart it would be smart to keep selling if you are one of those people, but if you bought in any other time, welp you probably already ear marked that crypto for losses any ways and you are gonna just watch it lose value without selling and cutting loses and i can't imagine people with huge amounts of cash bailing out the price right now, they would at least way for it to get cheaper, like back nearer to the 10K price range.

so theres my BTC prediction, it will continue to grind down to pre-pandemic levels closer to 10k.

The answer is "maybe"

You have to define whether this is a security or not and the SEC hasn't really figured that poo poo out yet. Could it be fraud? Maybe, no idea! But their lawyers could maybe make the argument that they didn't have to abide by the Securities Act because they weren't securities and thus didn't have to be registered as such. But if your entire legal team quits en masse that says to me there's some waaaaaaay more shady poo poo going on that they couldn't justify anymore

I assume they quit en-masse because they'd just seen their client lose all their money. No money = no lawyer.

It turns out, when your starting point is “all the present systems designed to ensure trust, reliability, and enforceability of contracts are irredeemably corrupt,” you are extremely susceptible to snake oil.
