I'm ashamed to admit it but my mom spends a lot of time on MAGA Facebook so it's no surprise she knew a guy pushing crypto. But even my somewhat racists, kind of stupid mother figured out it was a stupid idea.

MechaCrash posted:The thing about mini pigs is that they are mini, people just don't realize how loving big a pig can get. There's a reason why boar hunting used to be something you did to prove you're a badass, after all. From what I understand in order to keep a pig "mini" you have to have it on a starvation diet. Since Americans feed their pets like they feed themselves it seldom works out.

Remember that Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie bomb scare? This is kind of the opposite of that. They had a lawyer that told them not to say anything about the case so at a press conference they talked about 70s haircuts. Of course, SBF has bad opinions about those too.

Cyrano4747 posted:There is exactly one thing that makes the USD (or any other currency) have any kind of intrinsic worth above and beyond Disney Dollars or Starbucks reward points: It is the only thing that the US Government accepts to pay taxes with. I can't pay my taxes with farm animals, I can't offer to dig a ditch for the government, I can't even send them a brick of gold. That is the underlying value of the dollar: if the Government says you owe it $5 (whether from taxes or fines or whatever) you need five actual dollars to pay it, and if you don't pay the government they tend to do poo poo like arrest you. Remember when Trump tried to pay a lawyer with a racehorse and he was all, "This isn't 1850, you can't pay me in livestock. "?

Literally they're all about accepting volatility and taking risks and I've never seen such a baldfaced attempt to rip off regular people. And the fact that it's FTX is even funnier.

Porfiriato posted:Maybe they want to make it legal for people to still pay in gold certificates if they're so inclined? That was literally a thing that was going on for a while. Goldbugs would lobby states to declare gold legal tender so they could use these gold debit card things. I guess putting all your wealth into a metal heavier than lead can be inconvenient.
