My favorite crypto’s billion dollar affiliated company is still being sued by the SEC for breaching securities laws so I’ll have to probably get back to you next year.

i think we'll be able to manage without a technology that requires a small steam engine to record a simple transaction.  as my new best friend pinboard said, this crap has been around for over a decade.  if anyone was going to figure out something useful it could do, they'd have done so by now.

cryptofans have had another year, anyone manage to figure out something besides doing crimes they can use it for yet?
Crimes are big business sys. I wouldn’t dismiss them so flippantly.

I mean I just found out today I've currently got $17 worth of revenue share so far from a cryptocurrency I've been holding in an online game. I thought that was pretty neat.


oh, good.  for a second there i was worried that i might have been wrong to reflexively dismiss the loads of daos running on tokens.
I assume your crotchety ass feels the same way about these new “Limited Liability Companies” that have cropped up the last few decades?

i may come off as a bit of a cryptoskeptic at times, but i'm a big believer in the crimes use case.

Seems like a bad idea to commit crimes on a public ledger that can’t be erased, but what do I know.

it was a house of cards?  wow, i didn't know that.  you're telling me now for the first time.  it was an amazing scam, what else can you say?  it was an amazing scam whether you agree or not.  it was amazing scam that scammed an amazing number of people.  i'm actually sad to hear that.

Reads like a really good place to launder money through . . .

 "Never in my career have I seen such a complete failure of corporate controls and such a complete absence of trustworthy financial information as occurred here." . . . "from compromised systems integrity and faulty regulatory oversight abroad, to the concentration of control in the hands of a very small group of inexperienced, unsophisticated and potentially compromised individuals, this situation is unprecedented."

John Ray III, Bankruptcy Court Liquidator (who handled Enron)

The next question is . . . who gets Epstein'ed??

Good thing the SEC left FTX alone while they sued one of the only legit crypto companies in the US.

Yep, and unlike some hyper partisan posters on here, my post was purely political party agnostic.
