I don't know why sociopathic liberalism runs wild in a high percentage of members of that ethnic/religious group, but it just does.

I always find it ironic that Adolf Hitler (a homosexual into animal rights and socialism) and Franklin D Roosevelt - two "leftys" - both hated that ethnic/religious group, the same one full of other "leftys."

It's like a case of sociopathic liberals hating on one another.

He totally used his crypto scam to to help the crooked scamming Dems.

How appropriate.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 84707180


Incidentally, Wall Street in 2020 donated way more money to Joe Biden than it gave to Donald Trump.

The infamous Bernie Madoff was a big-time liberal Democrat, just as many other greedy, dishonest, unethical wealthy elitists are too.

In a way, since rich fuckers tend to be of the left, not right, that's one reason why so many people like getting in bed with "leftys."

For something (crypto) that's supposed to be sooo wonderful, sure seems like a lot of bad shit happens to it.

Crypto-tards really should take a pause and look at it critically, it's failed on many levels.

I'm not a gold-tard or anything else. The system we have is actually pretty good, except for the fact the government can print at will.

But even that is a priviledge reserved for the US, other governments that try it destroy their economies.

Be grateful for what we have my fellow GLPer's, most alternatives are much worse.

Crypto is fine. It's not the tokens, it's the exchanges. FTX was using a self created token as collateral to secure loans to invest on margin. Their token had to stay a certain price to keep everything afloat.

This really isn't any different than sub prime lending, Enron, Lehman Brothers, Bernie Madoff etc.

To be honest it's just growing pains. Yeah it might suck for many people, but crypto isn't going anywhere and it will be the foundation of whatever the next iteration of the economy is. Like we left the gold standard and went on the oil standard, now we'll be going to crypto. It'll take several more years for everything to settle out.

But I will say this, right now in crypto it's probably the best place to make generational wealth... but that door is closing. You recommend playing it safe, but playing it safe has made zero wealthy people. And by wealthy I mean millions or more.
 Quoting: The Årtist


You're actually making one of my other primary arguments against crypto, its primary utility seems to be the promise that it will make its backers rich.

As someone whose at a different place in life, to become a crypto fan I'd need to obtain some other utility from it. As I've failed to find one after all these years, I've come to realize there probably isn't one. I'm afraid that its your generations "much ado about nothing" moment.

But yes, some people will get rich but it's an ill-gotten gain. Hardly something to be proud of, it could be argued that drug dealers make more contribution to society.

If you want to dig deeper though, I'll say the "block chain" tech component of it has real value as means to improve title transfer of goods in general. Somebody out there will realize this, sooner or later, and could do really well. For example, it could revolutionize property and automobile title chain searches and act as a transfer mechanism.

Dude was worth around 26 billion in March, sale collapsed not sure if he's worth anything now. Was worth 16 million before the failed sale. Biggest loss of wealth in a day they said ever. Should of followed the pharma CEOs and other criminals and sold his shares long ago...sure he socked some away in families accounts though.

Wow.

Also loaned the sister company funds using account holders funds, wtf ? How is that possible ?

Straight from their own website:

FTX is currently unable to process withdrawals. We strongly advise against depositing.

Re: Breaking: FTX files for Bankruptcy, founder started FTX 13 days after Biden said he was running and became megadonor
Here's how it works:

- FTX creates $FTT
- Alameda buys or premines $FTT at super low price
- FTX pumps $FTT
- Alameda posts $FTT back to FTX as collateral, borrowing "real" assets from FTX's customer deposits

Both entities get to show auditors they have legitimate credit agreements and claim a genuine arms-length relationship.

That's how the circular piggy bank facilitates the transfer of customer funds out of FTX and into Alameda's prop trading business.

FTX was a Ponzi for Alameda, he needed a front and a way to get mass deposits, He would then used customers funds to short assets he felt were competitors, he would place alameda customers in the shorts and pay back the loss with the fee . He was using FTX as a front to launder customers money into shorting his competitors and then reaped the rewards on both ends
