Burnt billions of dollars of money, structured the deals so he came out with billions, and the investor class are coming back for more of the same! he must be insanely charismatic in person. i've never seen, read, or heard anything about him that didn't give me douche chills

in recognition of your service, we've minted you an NFT of your job, so while you may not actually be employed here anymore, you may not seek unemployment as you still have your job, thank you

I just can't understand how a company like crypto.com has thousands of employees to begin with. How many people can it possibly take to facilitate the exchange of actual-money and crypto, while skimming a percentage off the top? I mean, a finnish exchange, Coinmotion, does exactly that with less than 50 employees. Were there thousands of units of room meat hired to show off some "growth metrics" to investors?

His golden parachute wasn't even the best part of the deal; he was buying up distressed NYC properties and leasing them back to WeWork, who would do the renos. yeah, loving insane, but that's why i have trouble understanding how he got away with it. his in-person game must be off the hook. his real estate bullshit definitely put him over the top, but he had to get there off his personality to make it possible

Stephen Harper posted:est-ce quelqu’un a dit « le buttcoin »? I have no idea what percentage of their actual holdings 33 billion represents but the market as a whole dropped in the first half of 2022 so that may not mean much. throwing $150m away on bitcoin is incompetence however, even if that's a shaving of their total portfolio e: okay i gave the (ugh) globe and mail a click and yeah it's a fart in the wind quote:The Caisse’s 7.9-per-cent loss was better than the 10.5-per-cent loss in its benchmark – a portfolio of similar assets it uses to measure its performance. The performance, however, caused the Caisse to fall from nearly $419.8-billion in assets at Dec. 31, 2021, closing its books June 30 with $392-billion in its portfolio. (The investment losses were offset by $5.4 billion in contributions and new funds from the Caisse’s investment clients.) fisting by many fucked around with this message at 02:37 on Aug 19, 2022 |

You have a huge crowd of mutually-hostile actors who nonetheless want to establish a consensus timeline that serves all of their self-interest With Proof-of-work you have an unlimited planetary-scale energy wasting contest to discover the next objectively-valid link in a chain and the people who discover each link get rewarded with some magic beans With Proof-of-stake you *waves hands furiously* and now everybody agrees on which version of reality is valid and yet magically there is no more awful and irreversible cost to participate in the process Easy
