I am nine months late on the proposal for the El Salvador Bitcoin book, but I'm learning Spanish specifically so I can call Nayib Bukele a loving dickhead in his own language. (He speaks English perfectly well, but I want to speak to his heart.) I am finishing my taxes, and taxation is theft not of my money, I'm not so worried about that, but of my sooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuulllllllllllllll so yeah probably eventually!!

It's cum and crypto, all the way down.

"lol, thanks for the money & gently caress you" - opensea Listening to an audio podcast of dumb crypto people wanting to simply further their Ponzi. Lots and lots of words that are useless. Also, did some crypto person literally rename themselves to melt_dem/meltem? https://twitter.com/Melt_Dem/status/1618280079364349957 notwithoutmyanus fucked around with this message at 17:53 on Jan 25, 2023 |

I'm sorry but it's still sinking in that this person set up an automated buy order that would pay $105,000 for literally any Ape NFT sight unseen without any kind of verification or confirmation check that they actually wanted to pay $105,000 for it.

It's okay because it's likely used to launder money, so he's "paying" $105,000 but he already has a buyer lined up who just sold a bunch of drugs/children/guns or whatever. Don't feel bad because you don't have $105,000, you haven't sold $105,000 worth of drugs/children/guns. It's (probably) not a speculative investment, money laundering operations only try to appear like speculative investments because then when they "gain" or "lose" money, it's an expected outcome.

Crypto memes I saw people spout tonight: "Tesla just declared they didn't sell any of their 10 thousand bitcoin in Q4 2022!" ref: https://cointelegraph.com/news/elon-musk-s-tesla-held-onto-its-bitcoin-in-q4-despite-market-turbulence. Bullish! etc etc. reality: Tesla sold 3/4 of their bitcoin in Q3 2022. https://blockworks.co/news/tesla-sells-bitcoin-for-profit-still-posts-impairment-loss

I don't quite know what happened here. Seems like OpenSea is happy to sell stolen apes since they sold one to him, so can't he just resell it? Or is it that they mark it as stolen so only a small number of idiots as stupid as him would actually buy it, instead of the large number of idiots willing to buy a clean ape?

 I refuse to actually look at how much he paid for this MSPaint image before it was stolen, or whatever happened. The more I think about this stuff the more I want to start smashing things up.
