there was a museum I used to go to once every 3-4 years growing up, and occasionally with school. their gift shop had a vat of Koosh balls and I'm pretty sure I never left that museum without a new one. totally useless and forgotten the next day, but they were fun for a moment.

For that show they consulted real people in the industry and they actually had to tone it down in a lot of areas. e.g. the company valuation from the first/second season was WAY lower than what the people they talked to said it would be given the pitch but the writers realized that wouldn't be believable to people outside the industry.

There's a history of companies with shaky foundations buying naming rights to a stadium in a desperate bit for legitimacy only for the company to be gone a few years later. If you're spending money to name a stadium, you're probably a lovely company.


I've never seen a crypto commercial. Kind of glad that I avoid that kind of garbage.

The Patriots play at Gillette stadium, but before it was Gillette it was named CMGI Field, after a local tech investment firm.

CMGI went under before the football season even started, the patriots never played a game there under the original name


And the Dolphins renamed their stadium 4 times in 10 years, though Hard Rock stadium has stuck for a while now

According the that tweet chain there's an expose coming out soon. I'm guessing it's gonna be actually pointing out they're broke so they're using this to get ahead of the curve and distract attention. Also lol at Diversity of Thought, but you have to be all in on Kraken like a Resident Evil 4 cultist.

Your mistake is thinking that a lot of people working for crypto companies are cryptobros. Outside of management, real cryptobros, who have actual marketable skills, know their coder job is more secure at a regular company. Only people who are incompetent or couldn't find a better job work in crypto.

:hmmyes: AFAIK crypto bro programmers are selected because of their a) willingness to work for a crypto exchange and b) take shitcoins instead of RSUs. All of the talented true believers are trying to be the next Vitalik Buterin, and the talented workers are doing exactly what you said.

i've seen murmurings that 18k is the magic number for margin calls to start kicking in, but i expect that the second it starts coming close something more insane is going to happen as they pull out every con they can in order to not be the ones left holding the bag

Still contemplating why I didn't register here under a clever pseudonym

I was with my friend at Denny’s the other night, and as the guy in line behind us stepped up to pay, the waitress asked him, “cash or card?” He loudly exclaimed, “CRYPTO!” and whipped out a Coinbase debit card, looking around to see if anyone was impressed.

No one was impressed.
