But he said he was Spartacus!

All those years and thousands of person-hours of education and public awareness campaigning. The incredible work put into organizing efforts to inform the populace through PSAs, grassroots programs and viral influencers. Tireless attempts to work with educational institutions to make this common knowledge, but a lot of you all still don’t get it. Ape holders can use multiple slurp juices on a single ape

I think Star Citizen was the true NFTs before NFTs became a thing. Essentially the same thing as this with cosmetic differences at best.

arithmetic overflow on dollar values

codeine’s law

I dunno, sounds reasonable to me. Just like when recent studies by independent groups of experts on fintech enthusiasts found that investing in cryptocurrency was correlated with up to 70% increased body odor, a statistically significant drop in attractiveness and between one and three standard deviations below baseline level of self awareness.

The independent group consisted of me. The papers are available if you pay me 350€ for a yearly subscription to my journal.

Shit, here I thought that at least buying illegal drugs was a somewhat defensible reason to deal in crypto and now you’re telling me 99% of it is not even for that?

You’re not making monero look cooler, you’re just making digital privacy look worse.

Hah, look at this guy assuming you’re invested in the most overinflated primitive buttcoin! Actually you hold some obscure shitcoin that’s way better. You sure showed these haters.

It turned out there was money to be made in crashing UST — so in May 2022, someone did. There is a strong rumor (and DOJ investigations) that it was Alameda. Other parties who collapsed because of Terra-Luna left the gaping hole in Alameda that eventually killed FTX. If Alameda fired the first shot directly into their own leg, that would be extremely crypto, as well as extremely funny.

Absolute kino. I really want to believe that Alameda sold her hair to buy FTX a watch chain while FTX sold his watch to buy Alameda a set of combs.

How many catches do you need? Best case scenario, it’s some serial grifter high on his own hype and VC money. Would you expect a cayman islands cryptobro company to be above scamming anyone dumb enough to have anything to do with them?

Reminds me of this game, where you try to spend billions https://direkris.itch.io/you-are-jeff-bezos

Oh, so when ISO does it everyone loves that but if we do it it’s suddenly cringe? Stop canceling my freedom of speech you SJW implementoid.

Trying to get my product certified as standard compliant but I keep getting rejected because my accent makes me say a word in a wrong way

a spec that famously specifies nothing

I have read some specifications that get surprisingly close to this. You might think it’s the worst failure mode a spec can have but frankly there are some specs out there that would be improved by specifying nothing at all instead.

Not far off, per Wikipedia

in 2007, [BB&B] acquired Buy Buy Baby, a chain of baby supply stores founded by Feinstein’s sons

I agree though. It’s not hard to imagine a crowd of mostly millennial redditor men get nostalgic for companies like Gamestop, AMC, Blockbuster or Blackberry, but I didn’t exactly imagine them being a demographic big into a big box furniture and interior decoration store. Ikea, maybe.

Liberalism failed to end history after all, so anticapitalism is popular again. You don’t have to be a leftist or even have a coherent political worldview at all to resent the billionare caste. “It should have been me” is more than good enough for many.

Triggers, the exact thing you want more of when already working with footguns.

No no, he’s, uh, he’s resting.

You know resting, like in a bed. Or a bath. Or The Beyond. Resting all peacefully too!

Someone needs to add a community note that the hack did not in fact result in “millions of dollars worth of NFTs stolen”. It resulted in zero dollars worth of NFTs being legitimately transferred to another holder as specified in the smart contract approved by parties involved.

I have not understood the purpoted purpose of the so-called stablecoins. I thought the whole point was to have an ostensible foundation of value separate from state power and central banks.

Check out the fiatcucks using a currency subject to the tyranny of the European Central Bank. Well not me, I use this shitcoin that’s pegged 1:1 with the same currency they’re using except hardly anyone accepts it and when they do I pay exorbitant transaction fees. Freedom, baby!

Some claim that stablecoins are intended to pull people into the cryptocoin ecosystem or facilitate transactions between real money and buttcoins but I don’t get that one either. Why would I rather buy 100 stablebutts for 100 dollars and the trade that for so-and-so many speculasses than just trade the speculasses for dollars from the get-go?

Most people fucking around with buttcoins are just wishing for another surge of hyperdeflation like the Bitcoin bubbles in 2012 and 2017. What’s the appeal of a shitcoin that definitionally can’t do that, at least relative to its backing currency?

You’re laughing. A supply chain attack on the Ledger connector application has rippled throughout the world of decentralized apps, which widely use the software to enable people to connect their popular Ledger hardware wallets to perform transactions, and you’re laughing.
