I like the big brain thinking that goes "inflation = bad, that must mean that deflation = good" I'm sure that there are no issues at all with a currency designed to be deflationary where people are incentivised to hoard their wealth.

Ken Griffin’s Secret War on ‘Dumb Money’quote:As the credits rolled and the audience applauded, I wondered what Ken Griffin—the Wall Street titan, billionaire proprietor of the Citadel hedge fund, and an alleged villain of the GameStop saga—thought of the film. You won’t believe this, but he’s not a fan.

Thorgot posted:Ken Griffin’s Secret War on ‘Dumb Money’ I mean, the movie is lionizing the scammer whose pump-and-dump created the whole GameStop/BBY cult. But it would definitely be better for these guys if they just shut the gently caress up and let Dan Olson's upcoming video do the work of deflating the movie for them.

If it takes Nick Offerman twirling his moustache and cackling right before doing a 4th wall break to turn to camera and explain that he's about to scam these suckers out of their retirements for those people to start to have their ah ha moment with meme stocks? loving go for it.

The problem is that, by all accounts, the movie is completely buying in to the conspiracy-theory bullshit. So it won't be Nick Offerman's character talking about how the dumb money are the exit liquidity and will ultimately be bag-holders, it'll be him calling a (Democratic) congressman and telling him to have Robinhood turn off the buy button and strangling the "revolution" in its crib.

Yeah, the problem is that the movie (based on initial hear-say) seems far too credulous about the apes' mythology. Even setting the movie aside, people seem to be uncritically accepting talking points like "Griffin made Robinhood turn off the buy button" and "hedge funds lost to retail" which are not true things.

I'm watching an early screening of the Dumb Money movie on Wednesday. I'll let you guys know how bad it is. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I caught another movie last week. The movie was from China and had been doing well there. The movie was called No More Bets. (Spoilers and Content Warnings...) I guess I should have taken the title at face value because while the movie technically was about human trafficking, where mostly Chinese citizens were being kidnapped and forced to work in the scam industry.. it was also a huge Chinese propaganda piece about how Gambling is morally wrong. Even as the Gambling Mod of these dumb gay forums, I don't have any qualms about people saying gambling is bad. Because like any other vice if you get too deep it is bad! But man China basically injected a new movie 30 minutes into this one to morally wag its finger at the audience. Previously you were focused on 2 main characters, then all of a sudden this new main character comes.. and boy is he addicted to gambling! First they thought how moral he was before he got addicted. He is currently working an internship or some college summer job out of his apartment his parents gave to him. It is a group that does subtitling for movies and the Scam Company wants them to add their Casino into the subtitles? I'm guessing they want him to add an advert to the beginning of the show but I'm not sure how much leeway the subtitle contracting team has over ad placement. Anyways the guy is too upright and moral to allow it, even though it will earn his small little team some nice money doing so. But of course... he decides to, "try out" the casino while dropping off his girlfriend at school. First he starts small, winning a lot. He's winning because the scammers want him to win. Apparently a "student about to graduate and maybe eventually find a job" is high on their list of BIG WHALES they need to entice. But it works! He eventually takes out a high interest loan to... pay for a fancy flute for his girlfriend, then he continually bets on sports matches and also speculates on cryptocurrency. He makes really terrible sports bets but it doesn't matter! He's too addicted. Eventually the loan sharks come and harass his parents. He goes over and they're yelling and screaming about the loan. They throw the parent's dog out of the apartment window. He eventually sells his fancy car to pay off his loan. His parents try to hide his mobile, but this leads to yet another scene where he asks his girlfriend to place a bet for him using her phone. She says she's made it except when his bet on a soccer match wins she tells him she didn't place the bet and he freaks out on her, pushing all the plates off a table and then eventually pushing her. He's really sorry. Eventually not having his mobile to place bets is too much for him so he goes to his parent's apartment, locks his mom in his room. His room door still has busted glass from when the loan sharks were there. He uses his parent's laziness at cleaning up to his advantage by threatening to slit his throat if his mom doesn't give him the combo to the safe where his phone is. But that's also where she left bundles of renminbi. This is kinda laughable since the largest bill is 100 yuan and something like 700 yuan = $100. So bundles are still lots of money but like... 1/7th of what it is in US Dollars. He takes those too. He has a plan. The coup de grace is the guy takes the bundles, sells off his apartment, and dumps it into.. Ethereum. The scammers claim they're going to put it into some cryptocurrency that will go up and he needs to trust and give them all his money in Ethereum. They obviously withdraw all the money and block him on WeChat. He is devastated. His girlfriend and parents have been looking for him, and apparently his apartment was the last place they were looking. Its too late. He's too stricken with shock/grief/horror that he jumps from his balcony and dies. Long story short. To make that part relevant to the rest of the movie they have the girlfriend beg this women cop who's been looking into these scammers. There's this scene where the girlfriend pleads for the women cop to DO SOMETHING. The cop says sorry and she goes back to taking pictures for an event but before they take the picture, she realizes something, and goes back to hug the girlfriend and then helps her. There's more incredulous stuff but I've already written way too much.. but it basically ends with, "Chinese Cops saved everyone. The End" ---------- So yes seems like the Chinese government is really cracking down on cryptocurrency due to their current stance on gambling... but this is actually good for bitcoin!

I'll let you guys know how bad it is. between crypto, social media, mobile gaming, and legalized sports betting, most of the growth sectors in the us economy are explicitly focused on maximally exploiting the underlying neurology of gambling addiction so that is probably a very very good policy for them to start staking out now.

That's not limited to mobile gaming, all the big mobile gaming publishers got so much money they bought all the big traditional gaming studios and now even PC and Console games increasingly are all about maximizing addiction so that they can squeeze more juice out of your wallet. And then mobile games like pokemon go have evolved as far as even selling foot traffic into traditional retail spaces. It's only going to get worse. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 22:09 on Sep 11, 2023 |

Went to Vegas for a gooncon many years ago, my mom gave me a roll of quarters for the slots, and I think all of it went to the arcade instead. Stopped playing Pokémon Go once I got to the point where buying incubators was the only real way I could get stuff, and dropped Genshin Impact after the first “saved up for a character’s banner and lost the 50/50.” Now that I think about it, the only Gacha I ever got into was Dragalia Lost, because it was really generous with the freebies and I got attached to the characters.

drk posted:its just that easy I can think of a bunch of ways to attack this. Simplest would be to compromise the internet-connected PC and change the user-interface so when the user thinks they're generating a transaction to buy a new ape they're actually sending me all their butts. The generated transaction is then taken to the 'secure' PC to be signed normally. Or have the compromised PC infect the SD card, which then infects the airgapped PC, which saves the private key to the SD card to be exfil'd once the card is plugged into the internet-connected machine again.
