#Crypto bros love charts, and especially #ai charts, so here's one done showing the trajectory of BTC based on its performance over the past 2, 5 and 10 years. You can clearly see there is a trend. #bitcoin #ponzi

It seems petty, the president renaming "Lake Ontario" to "Lake America." But is it?

What if this is a simple way to identify who will serve your interests no matter how absurd (or inhumane) they may be? If a large media outlet can so easily make this change, they could do the same thing with say, election results. #trump #fascism #enshittification #nerdreich

#bitcoin really is like a #cult. Re #coldcard #hack People are walking around with metal rods in a thunderstorm and when one of them gets struck by lightning they say, "Well he obviously did something wrong to displease god."

One of the fundamental principals of #crypto, #blockchain and #bitcoin is: Ignore the past, assume everything works perfectly, and if something hasn't been hacked, that's because it's hack proof. Wait... has it been hacked? Then it's your fault because code is law.

Once you "decentralize" something, you remove accountability. With no accountability, there is no responsibility. With no responsibility, a system cannot guarantee anything to anyone. Anybody believing in such a system is a fool.

There's no way to fix a system that is so fundamentally flawed. If you do, you turn that system into the same type of systems we're already using.

It takes a special kind of sociopath to dress up in red lingere and hire gay prostitutes by night, and pass anti-LGBT legislation by day. R.I.H. #LadyGraham

It's a good time to remind people that #bitcoin has always been a fraud. Here are the top 10 facts #crypto bros refuse to acknowledge: reddit.com/r/CryptoReality/c… Crypto adds nothing to the (non-criminal) community. It could all disappear tomorrow and nobody would notice.
