ME, AS THE WORLD AROUND ME DISSOLVES INTO FLAMES AND THE SKY IS BLOTTED OUT BY RADIOACTIVE ASH: This is good for bitcoin.

Does raise the question of who is dumb enough to try to insure this stuff.
When code is law, it's not an exploit. It's a "highly profitable trading strategy."

Web3 idea: Somebody comes to your house and punches you in the dick. Then they spit on you. Sounds pretty bad right? What if it was minted on the blockchain

I wonder if these people actually believe this crap or if it’s just a tool to keep the rubes in check.

To be clear I don’t seriously entertain the possibility that they honestly believe it, because I don’t think they are capable of being honest about anything..

If you think about it, twitter has to try to sue to get Musk to buy them, or Twitter’s shareholders will sue.
Musk-bots can’t point to any actual lies twitter told in their financial statements, because they didn’t. He’s lying to you dumbasses, and you’re believing it hook, line and sinker.

Most of these tool bags have probably never even read a financial statement.
Product hunt just sent me an email pitching a bunch of startups as “the Venmo of crypto.” Wait a minute, I thought CRYPTO was supposed to be the Venmo of Crypto. You people have no self awareness.
I’ve heard that impunity from the consequences of your own bad decisions is a recipie for disaster. I don’t know anything else about that. Do not ask any follow-up questions.
It's easy to say with hindsight that NFTs are a stupid scam but it was also easy at the beginning to say that and through the middle too

This is like that onion thing about one of the worst people making a good point.
amazing to watch the defi people saying stuff like “we should freeze withdraws” and “we should vote to lock up that whale’s wallet”…
An interesting thing to do in a couple of months might be to trawl LinkedIn and see how many people started working here + at Kraken in response to these announcements.
It was not easy saying no to Super bowl ads, stadium naming rights, large sponsor deals a few months ago, but we did. Today, we are hiring for 2000 open positions for #Binance.
Something about the Kraken thing seems weird to me, like, apart from the blatant transphobia and racism.

I have no evidence but it feels like they are distracting from something - perhaps their true financial position.

I see another big crypto exchange is also boasting about its number of open positions.
So we have free speech except when criticising others' speech. Got it.
