Doing this in an election year where your party (I know it's bipartisan but a democrat is president) is already failing to convince 18-34 year olds is brain dead.

I think most of the ban lust coming from the government is about Israel since that polling showed pro-hamas / anti-israel sentiment correlated to tiktok usage

It doesn't occur to them that people are getting actual news, stories and footage the media isn't showing and seeing the truth about what Israel is doing changes opinions pretty consistently. It's a trick because Israel isn't bad and doesn't do bad things.

It's the same concept twitter liberals attribute to Biden's bad polling. Foreign Brainwashing when people are presented with actual facts and reporting.

You are supposed to top off a 1 hour long sloppy sobbing biden blowjob from Wolf Blitzer begging you to run for your lives from Orange Hitler with the 300th consecutive episode of Jimmy Kimmel where he screeches so loud only dogs can hear it and some stupid celebrity rants about the end of the world.

Passing a bill aimed at banning things young people like within 1 week versus having decades of healthcare that causes bankruptcy is going to Get Out The Vote.

yeah I mean it's not a surprise that the people in charge are scared of social media they don't have complete control over when you look at mainstream coverage of stuff that's just at complete odds with reality. The idea that americans are swimming in propaganda is something that's gone from crackpot conspiracy theorist territory to fairly common knowledge among the younger generations within our lifetime.

Is there a way to actually take money out easily?

You can absolutely take your gains in ways that will allow you to live like you're a genuine millionaire, except for the problem that you (probably) can't ever get the bulk of the money out. Doing something like retiring early on a bitcoin wallet is insanity because you're living off the value of your bitcoin instead of taking your income from any kind of actually stable asset.

Anyone who made real money in this last run really needs to be looking at ways to get that money out as soon as possible.

There is no limit to a BTC->USD transaction on exchanges to exit BTC itself and $100,000 daily limits on withdrawals of USD. So I personally consider being able to exit any amount of BTC and cash that out at a rate of $700,000 per week "easy."

Being desperate for cryptocurrency to be dumb is one thing but we are now claiming that all reports of cashing out are fake to trick people, that people apparently only ever hold BTC or that exchanges just won't let you withdraw money. None of that is true so it's dumb to keep beating that Mt Gox era horse when there are plenty of other valid and correct criticisms.

The other unbelievable part of that post is being surprised that the new IT person would be asked to investigate the old person. "You don’t join a company and start an investigation on the previous admin." Really? Not even if the previous admin left after being disciplined and/or was suspected of misbehavior?

I had to do this as a design engineer at my last job. I got assigned to a new product in the middle of my tenure there to replace a guy who was leaving shortly for another job. He told everyone the validation testing was done, data was good, just needs a report written. Red flags went off when he got cagey about certain questions I was asking during the transition but I was still pretty new and didn't want to make waves.

After he left I found issues with the data and eventually had to do a whole forensic analysis of where it came from and such. Turns out he was faking the bulk of it (using thermal cycle data in place of vibration, etc) and, not only were we not ready to launch on schedule, the design wasn't able to meet the requirements and had to start over.

We briefly considered litigation against the guy after I presented these findings to the VP level but I don't think that was pursued.
