There's a lot of overlap between libertarians, crypto people, and pedophiles. My feeling is that normal people don't have a lot of understanding, nor opinion, on age of consent laws but if you talk to a libertarian or a crypto person long enough, they'll almost always include age of consent laws in their thirst for deregulation.

I don't know about Seraph specifically but so many people who were seemingly normal were emboldened during Crypto's runup to wear their pedophilia on their sleeve.

Remember that dumb, creepy tweet about age of consent laws on the crypto island?

When I first read the word libertine it was in reference to a pedophile and I honestly thought the person had just misspelled libertarian

AOC doesnt have anything to do with cyrpto, and as far as I know she isnt a pedo

pedos have feelings about AOC, interest in cyrpto.

God imagine still being like "any day now!" after 14 years of big wet fart. Widespread internet access started changing things almost immediately, and after 14 years of being mainstream the whole world ran on it.

teenaged me was, sometimes, and the idea that teenagers generally think about this poo poo any further than "can we get away with this for ~20 minutes" and maybe if you're lucky "do we have protection?" is fuckin laughable.

This isn't to suggest there haven't been some gross uses of sex-crime laws to prosecute consensual behavior, there definitely have. But I don't think anyone worried about it, until they found themselves weirdly in some regressive sex court. And I don't think that people who post a lot on reddit or w/e about how they are worried about it have my kids best interests in mind, quite the fuckin contrary in fact.

quote:

The launch of ChatGPT last November capped a year of AI hype, and for startups seeking funding and influencers looking for followers, those two letters have supplanted crypto, Web3, and NFTs as the buzzword du jour. “Last year, a ton of companies that couldn’t raise were baptizing themselves as web3 crypto companies,” one VC investor told Bloomberg recently. “The same is happening now with AI.” Indeed, scroll back through the timelines of many ChatGPT hustlers, and you’ll soon find advice on how to spot no-lose coins and must-have apes. Now, though, the pivot is to AI.

What I remember was sophomore dates a senior. senior graduates and now its a weird place. like a 19 year old has a 17 year old gf. Other people know about this and have opinions. like the kids parents, friends, family teacher etc.

So imo a person whose like 21-22 whose been there or seen his friends in that place, can have an opinion on AOC, but in general older people worrying or other wise thinking about teenagers doing stupid horny things is a red flag.

Why would a man in his 30/40/50 s care about AOC since it shouldnt matter to him?

I guess this nails it on the head, I thought about this slightly when I aged past the age of consent before my GF. But, her mom loved me, so not very much.

As an altruist I didn't get into bitcoin to make money. It was always about bringing banking services to unprivileged communities and fighting government corruption with a currency that's truly free. Also it was about funding my SEO farming operation so that we can convert weaponized disinformation into money. Also it was somewhat about starting a direct to email spam marketing campaign to pump and dump penny stocks.

But basically what you don't understand about the space is that its about helping people.

i still don't understand what the argument is even supposed to be for the bag holders. The company (or corporate saboteurs?) is pretending go bankrupt to secretly benefit hedge funds, but redditers are foiling their plot by buying and holding shares?

And if the company doesn't go bankrupt some how, at what point does this transform into a good investment?
