HootTheOwl posted:GME has physically copies of games something you can't get online (or at release day). I don't know if that niche is big enough, but I'm real tired of downloading games only to have the market turn off and bricking my purchase Embrace piracy and gently caress Nintendo. Your games also tend to not have much if any data on them. Hard copies just end up being your license key. I have no qualms with anyone that prefers owning a physical version of their game and you have the advantage of being able to trade, sell, or lend them out.

I guess it can be seen as grasping at straws but it doesn't seem that tenuous to me. ohhhh okay this explains why it took so long for you to stop gleefully eating poo poo in the make fun of people who gleefully eat poo poo thread, your reading comprehension and sense of linear time is utterly hosed, here let me help back in late january
FAQ Did Sam use either of his parents' smartphones to contact a potential witness over signal? No, Sam used his own smartphone to contact a potential witness over signal back in january How did Sam use a dumbphone to contact a potential witness over signal? Contacting a witness over signal happened back when he still had a smartphone; his currently having a dumbphone is a direct result of him contacting a witness over signal So if Sam has his own smartphone, why did he use his parent's phone to contact a potential witness over signal? He didn- it doesn- wh- what? dude seriously what the gently caress is wrong with you

You can buy physical games from Amazon too, and I'm pretty sure other places even in the USA. Hell, down here JB Hi-Fi usually has them at least ten bucks cheaper than EB. The BBBY thing is basically a cargo cult of a cargo cult.

I'm going to start placing a $25 bet on a Total Market Index Fund every time I see bitcoin news and then i'm going to HODL for the next 40 years, just to prove how stupid people who invest in the stock market are I hope that opens everyone's eyes to how very stupid fiat money is when I withdraw that cash and can only buy myself a comfortable retirement instead of a bunch of cool Bored Apes

This all feels like the tech company equivalent of sovereign citizen bullshit, they're more or less arguing that securities regulations don't apply because their securities

The lack of clarity and asking for new rules to be drafted is for them to position that their ongoing fraud wasn't fraud when they did it because at the time cryptocurrency rules hadn't been drafted. If a judge or the SEC were to say that cryptocoins are securities, that's loving hard as poo poo to weasel out of, whereas if they say crypto was always something else they can both be absolved of their ongoing fraud and pivot to a different/legitimate legal position where they can use their ill-gotten gains to lobby in favor of whatever they want. It's loving hard to, at this point, change securities laws. It's never been about being free from government or whatever, they just wanted to be the guys that have everything before the rules are established. Like bankers in the 1900s. They see no issue with government regulation, etc., their only problem is that they don't currently control everything.

I skimmed through their petition, and yeah it seems like their whole argument is "hey these tokens cant be securities because it would be bad for our business model". The SEC already outlined why they think several tokens that Coinbase currently lists are securities in the Bittrex complaint a few weeks ago. Mostly they use the howey test, so when a group of people 1) sells a token to raise money 2) to be used to develop a cypto-thing 3) with the expectation that token will raise in value following the development work.... buddy, you've got a security. Coinbase naturally finds this inconvient, but it seems pretty straightforward. I dont think their lawsuit is going to go the way they hope.

I have to wonder if they would even bother with the SEC lawsuit if they weren't already publicly traded, and thus subject to shareholder lawsuits. At some point, even for the most dedicated scammer, it's time to roll it up and move on to the next scam. Of course, making a big public spectacle out of "sticking it to the man" and appearing to defend the rapidly declining shareholder value is an important part of these guys preparing their landing spots for the next scam.

Alienating the original suckers isn't anywhere as important in a ponzi scheme as pulling in new ones. If the government creates regulation, that creates an illusion of safety, something that prompts people who were on the sidelines to jump in, something that brings in fresh blood. Ponzi schemes need fresh blood, the old blood don't cut it no more-- they're about tapped out on finding new dumbfuck techbros and libertarians on TikTok or whatever.The SEC not regulating it is actually very effective in killing crypto. Ideally, crypto wants a lot of regulation that it steers because it allows them to take fresh suckers' money while also not having to work very hard. And if you're curious how in the gently caress crypto can survive if its highly regulated, casinos makes more money operating as "legitimate businesses" under the watchful eye of gaming commissions and regulators than they ever did running back-room deals. They used to only appeal to gamblers, now everyone gambles. Banks make more money today fixing the market with high costs of entry and ongoing regulation/compliance than they ever did buying scratchers in the 20s. Losing the message of the con that it's about privacy/deregulation/banking the unbanked will do absolutely nothing to kill enthusiasm for a ponzi scheme. This is because, at its core, crypto is a game about finding suckers-- full stop.
