During a conference call with them, they tried to strong arm us into a design contract and said, "We have to know soon because we have some other projects coming up" and I just told them to work on those other projects because our stuff was going to be on the back burner for months and they got all angry. Like don't try that Craigslist sales tactic bullshit on me, bitcoin dork.
This is the type of bitcoiner I like the least, stupid but industrious and immoral, because they're the ones most likely to lure in new victims.

But seriously, there are always going to be crazy people posting crazy things and not all of them need to be included. The interesting stuff are the mass delusions that the whole sub goes in for, not the little one-offs that only hook a couple people.

Supposedly there is a hearing on September 12 where the fate of BBBY will be announced for good, but there are still going to be people who deny reality. Gotta stop somewhere.

It’s not just a one-off, it’s also part of a larger trend of BBBY memestock community people trying to read legal filings like tea leaves as if the language in them is open to interpretation rather than legal jargon with extremely well-established meaning.

To be fair, while some legal process is extremely well defined, many aspects of how courts proceed is more art than science, which is why we have legal scholars continually reviewing past cases as well as things like our appeals process.

Actually, movie receipts are one of two things in the US you can't sell futures contracts on, which makes sense. Gives studios too much incentive to purposely bomb movies. The other is onions.

This is because some rich guys decided to mess with the onion market by stockpiling all the nation’s onions and then flooding the chicago market. It got to the point where if you bought a 50 pound bag of onions, they most expensive part would be the bag itself. Somehow this made them even richer. Naturally, the American government took swift action and ensured this could never happen again (with onions)

False. There is only one electron and it has never stopped
For years we've all been seeing conspiracy theorists claim the cabals are fighting against cryptocurrency because it's too private (lol), is too hard to tax (I dunno), challenges the banking establishment (sure), depreciates the wealth held by the rich in USD and EUR, and is too decentralized (okay yeah for some assets).

More recently I'm coming across conspiracies from the opposite perspective. That government cronies are trying to push cryptocurrency to replace the current currencies for any number of reasons and purposes. Because it actually isn't private at all and lets the government track payments. Because you can control what it's being spent on, hurting industries that are disliked but hard to outright criminalize e.g. pornography, protest movements. Because crypto will supposedly allow the rich to get richer even faster since they own the means of mining. Because you could bring back scrip and be paid Walmart coin that you could only spend at Walmart.

In Swedish we call tulip bulbs "tulpanlökar" which means tulip onions, so if you read about the tulip mania in Swedish you'll encounter a lot of talk about stuff like the price of the next season's onions and such.

It's even stupider than that because he's saying the Florida can decide what kind of federal currency is legal in its borders. One-way Desantis is worse than Trump is Desantis seems to show a complete lack of interest in governing. He will pass laws with no regard to if they can stand up in court or not, just as long as he scores right wing crazy points.

Yeah, he doesn't give two tight shits about Florida, he just cares about the state in so far as it gives him a platform to do things that will boost his stock with republican primary voters nation-wide for a presidential run. It's no exaggeration to say he cares more about what the Fox News crowd in Ohio cares about than what is actually good for Florida.

Trump would have done that too if the federal congress were still capable of passing laws other than upper bracket tax cuts and more military funding
