Just finishing the #book 'Crypto Confidential: Winning and Losing Millions in the New Frontier of Finance' written by #cryptobro Nathaniel Eliason.
It does not paint a nice picture of the culture of greed and gambling. It also confirms how a technology that could have some useful use cases (once passed the incredibly steep learning curve, which by itself is an open challenge) has been taken completely over by speculators and #scammers.
Fortunately, most of this seems to be nowadays in the past.
Greg Sargent saying Trump is trying to IMPORT "authoritarianism" from El Salvador is the kind of white supremacist bullshit that could only come out of the mouths of a liberal gringo.
OPERATION CONDOR is proof the gringocracy have always EXPORTED #fascism to Latinoamerica. also, he still won’t say FASCISM.
it’s outrageous he implies dictators are normal to Latinoamerica; that Bukele exists in a political vaccum, as if he weren’t a #cryptobro creation.
liberals are the fucking worse.
@adisonverlice #TLDW; #MobileCoin is absolute #bs to the point that even #CryptoBros & #TechBros failed even acquiring it.
Y’ALL!
USA’s official ball fluffer to the rich and famous actually published this about the Republican-sponsored #kidnappings #abductions #humanTrafficking to the #cryptobro concentration camp:
❝ "The officers grabbed him and two other boys…" Merwil’s father, Wilmer Gutiérrez, told Documented, before claiming, "One said, 'No, he's not the one,' like they were looking for someone else. But the other said, 'Take him anyway.' " ❞

For the dumdums out there, this means #bluesky isn't gonna be hosting any revolutions.

i hate to revive old shitstorms but , i was aggressively debated today by 70 something year old #CryptoBro about the 'Evil #Zelensky , #US sock puppet , anti #russia propaganda. I went back and found this quote
" This does not change the fact that, as I noted in an earlier Bulwark essay, far-right extremism in Ukraine is a real problem. But to link post-Euromaidan governments, which have been dominated by center-right politicians and in which a number of key posts have been held by Jews—including Volodymyr Groysman, the prime minister from 2016 to 2019, and Volodymyr Zelensky, the current president—to anything “neo-Nazi” is preposterous. There is a genuine controversy about the extent to which the Azov Regiment, a crack unit that has its origins in the Azov Battalion, a paramilitary force with far-right and even neo-Nazi ties, still has extremist links. But while Kremlin propagandists love to tout Azov as Exhibit A in the “Ukrainian Nazis” narrative, the irony is that the regiment owes its existence entirely to the war Russia unleashed in the Donbas region eight years ago: The Azov Battalion gained prominence, and was incorporated into the Ukrainian armed forces, thanks to its role in fighting pro-Russian separatists in the region."

The #ElongatedMuskrat #CryptoBro convinced The #GrifterInChief to create his own #bitcoin (which isn't even a real bitcoin, it's an #NFT) which swelled his wealth by $8-BILLION DOLLARS on #InaugurationDay, so we are going to see A TON of effort to turn T****'s own "bitcoin" into a legitimate national currency (which would swell #MafiaDon & #Muskrat's wealth into the TRILLIONS.)
crypto bros out here proposing a "flywheel" mechanism by which Trump can use #TRUMP tokens to solve the national debt crisis...
at least he's clear eyed about the fact that bitcoin is really no different from #TrumpCoin...

S'il ne fallait qu'une seule info pour démontrer que les crypto c'est vraiment de la merde en barre :
Why am I not surprised #Trump is into #Cryptocurrency #Scams?
@nehrka würde mich nicht wundern wenn #Lindner nen #CryptoBro ist der #Shitcoins kauft, weil der keine Ahnung hat und #Bukele geil findet.
@StarkRG @amiserabilist @CyberpunkLibrarian
And naturally, The #ElongatedMuskrat... who is a HUGE #Dogecoin #CryptoBro... has convinced #DonTheCon (who once ridiculed #Crypto) to start one of his own.

@SheDrivesMobility Klar ist #Lindner auch noch #CryptoBro. Das hat noch gefehlt. Was ein kompletter Volltrottel, und den haben wir uns als Finanzminister gehalten.
Multi-million dollar banana-eating Chinese crypto bro donated $18-million to Trump.
No corruption or foreign influence from China to see here.
Move on.

I’ve done the whole #crypto #bitcoin thing. No large amounts and I'm not a #cryptobro. But I’ve come to a conclusion: it’s stupid. It’s a hassle and overly complicated. I’m stunned anyone takes white papers seriously, at all. My approach is the one I still think is the best, and has worked for me — it doesn’t matter if it has an actual purpose, what matters is that everyone else thinks it’s has value. At it’s core, it’s just busywork for computers that adds nothing worthwhile to the world. That’s it. It’s just another empty #tech promise. #cryptocoin #cryptocurrency
