Just when the Cypriots were losing faith
That’s when I learned about the block chain
I still remember how it all changed
Satoshi said,
Don’t you worry, don’t you worry, child
Bitcoin has got a plan for you
Don’t you worry, don’t you worry now

how much processing power do you need to have bitcoins?!?!

the benefit of blockchain was they were getting $100M

interesting they were buying out shareholders rather than investing in the company, also the deal wasnt contingent on kickstarter actually doing the blockchain stuff, effectively they were just acquiring shares and recommending crypto

wonder if they got rid of the old ceo cause they needed a new one to tell andereeson they werent doing blockchain

he is kind of imposing

This is such a concise version of the "he's just an adorable boy" story they kept trying to sell. Such a weird element.

SBF's statement was infuriating word salad. Right after an FTX customer/victim mentioned other victims committing suicide you have SBF saying "I agree with most of what Sunil said ... what matters are my colleagues." My COLLEAGUES?!?!?

honor amongst thieves

I don't know why I hate this guy so much. Maybe it's the hair.

something that bothers me is people just dumped all this money on him calling him a generational genius then you hear him talk and hes all yeah so uh you put money in the program then uuhh so its a ponzi scheme and more money comes out, hes keeping spreadsheets called crimes go in here, just not even good at scamming, but silicon valley rolled the red carpet out for him, shameful, media repeating all his blatant bs about trying to save the world, i want to see a master manipulator at work not this privileged dweeb

there's probably an argument to be made for a smart but socially tone deaf kid getting way in over his head and cutting corners in ways he didn't know were illegal and committing major errors which he didn't know how to dig out of but that really doesn't seem to be the case here

he repeated the lie today about how ftx couldve survived if there wasnt a run on deposits which was just not true, i wonder if he believes it, seems like vcs giving him all that money went to his head, when the story first broke his plan was to go to congress and persuade them that everything was cool, he considered himself the best salesman in the world, lol

that really doesn't seem to be the case here

yeah theres tons of evidence he was knowingly doing fraud the entire time, i mean maybe he thought it was ok because hes a crypto guy so laws dont apply idk, pretty dumb if so

He just seems like a sociopath who developed a schtick that was close enough to his "real" self that it kind of fooled some people for a while. Although my theory is that low interest rates are kind of like booze, and the lower they are and the longer they last, the lower the bar gets for hot. Like the guy came off as a buffoon, and the narrative seemed to be "he comes off as a buffoon which proves he is a genius." It was all kind of thin to begin with.

yeah if you have a fund you have to invest the money somewhere and crypto was hot so why not say the guy is a genius, but i do think due to various incentives a lot of people believed it, they considered themselves geniuses too no doubt tho

As someone who has to regularly read a lot of investment banker research/analyst reports, I often find myself wondering to what extent people in their world are bullshitting themselves versus just others.

Like there's a thin line between actually believing the story and just believing it's a story you can sell to other people. And there's an incentive to at least believe that you believe the story.

yeah believing things is pretty easy if it benefits you, and they say theres no one easier to sell than a salesperson

in the end it doesn’t matter tho, because the guy will get off with a relatively light prison sentence and then inherit all of mommy and daddy’s money. hope he gets shanked

they spent most of their money on his quixotic defense

I mean so they claimed in a soft-touch profile anyway, I'm sure they've got something

he got 25 years and some people are saying its light but thats big chunk of even the longest life, and you have to serve at least 85% of yr time in the feds so its not like hell get out in 12 or whatever, things arent going that good for him

12 is a very long time, being in jail for a month sucks from what ive heard, were somewhat injured to all these numbers due to living in a police state but being incarcerated is not too great

yeah it definitely sucks for him. like imagine being in jail since 1999

caek posted in the other thread theres a recentish law that allows non violent federal offenders to serve as little as 50% of their sentences depending on circumstances fwiw 85% is somewhat out of date

yeah it definitely sucks for him. like imagine being in jail since 1999

they should ask for half seems worth it

Silk Road creator and owner Russ Ulbricht was pardoned today. He used to be a regular at Momi Toby's in Hayes Valley prior to his arrest.

Interested in what happens to this guy as the FBI/DEA/IRS put in a lot of work to lock him up for life.

was he pardoned by the current president?

yessir

Crypto guys who said "Bitcoin is recession-proof" never considered what would happen in practice.

When recreational Bitcoin holders had real money evaporate, it caused them to pull money out of the imaginary money market and into real cash to buy real things, causing a crash.

In short: Duh-doy.

I mean that just looks like the regular random-ness of Bitcoin to me. Will be hoping this is the time it gets found out though…

you know I thought putting the nerds in charge of things would result in cool shit like clean energy and Holodecks and trains that go 400 mph and what we got instead is a bullshit digital currency worth trillions somehow while the most valuable car company on the planet is controlled by a Nazi who designs cars that look like jagged moving dumpsters. oh well, at least we got a plaigarism machine that sucks up vast quantities of resources to spit out pictures of Spongebob doing 9/11

hey, that's not all we got! we also got those cool collectible nfts - this dumb guy has a beard and this dumb guy wears a hat! but this dumb guy wears a triangle hat while the other dumb guy has a round hat! and they have different colors! and there's one dumb guy with a round hat and a beard but i decided to get the dumb guy with round hat and a mustache!!! it was only 0.234 SDF and the one with the beard was 0.248 SDF. they burned a rainforest down and rolled coal on the last species of a frog in order to deliver the digital goods just to me!

Also they are racist caricatures
