according to david gerard's book, the dogecoin community is pretty chill. mostly they're just playing around with the fad. they sponsored the jamaican bobsled team to get them to the olympics one year.

ok lol

so is that working or is it a joke or what? i honestly can't tell.

it's a real thing, and people have spent 300k in eth on it in half a day

I hate this so much

lol so it may not be a great sign when this is your actual president:

At the Latin American Bitcoin and Blockchain Conference on Nov. 20, Bukele came onstage to an animation of beaming down from a flying saucer and outlined his plans for Bitcoin City: a new charter city to be built from scratch, centered on bitcoin mining—and powered by a volcano.

Bloopchain your friends, and blorpchain them back

a friend asked me out for coffee, figured something was up

he asked me if I knew what our mutual friend was up to

not really, no, last time I checked he'd stopped working in tv and was trying to find freelance consulting work instead, it wasn't working too well and he was a bit depressed

turns out our mutual friend has been doing business with someone called "Ian" he encountered on Telegram, who's apparently based in Switzerland, and so he and "Ian" are creating a blockchain based AI and "Ian" just needs about $50,000 to get their prototype up and running and when that happens they'll instantly receive $5 million from a big investor, so they're right now looking for smaller investors to reach their goal and it's basically a chance to get your money back x100

blockchain and AI, what could go wrong

like most things blockchain, sounds like a scam

Did anyone get the book “Number Go Up” and read it? I heard it was good

Also still feeling bad for Michael Lewis that he fell for SBF so hard that his legacy is now 99% the moneyball guy and 1% that guy who got it completely wrong about the cryptocurrency fraudster

also also, none of my nerdy technologist buddies who were all about finding useful ways to employ blockchain 10 years ago are still talking about it, like not at all. It all has “solution in search of a problem” stamped on it plus the ransomware stank of bitcoin

now everyone just wants to talk about LLM benchmarking

yeah otm

my friend was wondering if this might be the real deal, a golden business opportunity, and I had to let them down, it's definitely a scam

hope we'll be able to convince our mutual friend to not send more crypto to his Swiss "partner"
