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.

The technology just isn't there yet, it's the potential that counts.

This sounds like STDH, but I'm sure it did happen based on what I've seen.

Also some dumbnut is at this point on r/buttcoin trying to defend the concept of crypto like " oh its too bad there are sooo many scammers but do you really want your money to be centralized and have the banks and government have control over it?" And every answer was fucj yes and yes.

This may have already happened and I missed it but doesn’t tether print billions of funny dollars or something right about now to prevent the price from falling further? Or is that for another coin? I don’t really understand any of this other than tether creating imaginary money to stop things like this from happening.

What do crypto brainiacs see as the next level of support for BTC? 18k? IIRC coins tumble pretty far when they break through lower levels of resistance?

How would you even calculate this? For a business or something they have like profits, revenue, margins, customers, products. and so on, but BTC it's just literally based on how gullible people continue being. So actually now that I think about it it should rebound.

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.

The moment I was certain it was all a sham was when someone told me they wanted me on their side chain project as a programmer.

I like how desperate he is to rebuild his image after his wife dumped him because he wouldn’t stop hanging out with Epstein. There was a big PR push last month as he wants everyone to care what his book picks are again.

To be fair. I completely forgot how chummy he was with Epstein until now so he should really give that PR firm a bonus because holy poo poo he definitely was a regular at pedo island.

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

I think the Dolphins stadium naming rights you are thinking of was back when it was Pro Player Park/Stadium before Fruit of the Loom's bankruptcy killed that brand. The crazy part of that was that despite being a zombie brand after like 2001 the stadium kept the Pro Player name until 2005. The Ravens had a stadium naming deal with PSINet Inc. back in 1999 that lasted until that company went under in 2002. Sports Authority had the naming rights to the Broncos stadium for years and there was concern over if they would not be able to keep up with payments for years before they finally gave up on it. Similar to Pro Player, Sports Authority went under in 2016 but had the name on the stadium until 2018.

The National Car Rental Center was the name of the Florida Panthers arena for two years before NCR went under. Adelphia paid for the naming rights to the Titans stadium in Nashville from 1999 to 2002 before they went under due to massive fraud and corruption in the company. TWA had the naming rights to the current Edwards Jones Dome in St. Louis for a few years before they sold to American Airlines. This is only funny because the city built the dome in order to bring an NFL team to the city, got the Rams, and then lost them to LA. Because of this stadium the Rams are the only NFL franchise to win NFL Championships (not Super Bowls) in three cities (Cleveland, St. Louis, LA).
