They tried really hard to spin it in a way that draws the most outrage.

Studies published in the news have an agenda behind them, study finds

What’s the point of having any government at all if we’re just going to let capitalism decide policy. Just let the free market do it at that point, we don’t need politicians.

I’d rather politicians do their job, but if that’s too much work for them we can just eliminate their jobs.

And guess who donates money to the campaigns of these politicians…. Rhymes with Beta and has a competing app to TikTok.

So they confirmed my suspicion that BuzzFeed is complete trash and I will avoid them even more than I already do. Result… stock pumps lol.

Let’s see… FTX was just busted and it’s been revealed that stock based coins they traded were not actually backed by shares of stock, but were being used as “locates” for shorting stock. I’d start looking into hedge funds that used crypto tokens as share locates. Perhaps ones that reported record profits in a year of record losses for other hedge funds, and coincidentally just recently moved their headquarters to Miami….

They’ll be slashing 100% of their workforce when they get revealed to be frauds like FTX.

…this can’t be the end of this story. This boy and that snake will do battle another day.

If you don’t understand that giving someone you don’t know all of your money in exchange for pixels on a webpage is stupid, then no you don’t understand my “genius” (I’d call it common knowledge personally, but it’s apparently not common to you).

You’re really highlighting your knowledge on the subject.

It’s so funny to see people so uneducated about a subject trying to take a victory lap over things they do not understand.

Crypto bros are rejoicing that scams they pointed out years ago are finally proving to be scams. Centralized exchanges are simply taking customer money and buying other things with it instead of backing customer assets. That why Not Your Keys = Not Your Crypto.

They get paid a lot of money to specifically not do anything to help us.

Literally the same concept if you are translating it to dollar bills and banks. But with crypto, there’s never a reason to use a centralized exchange besides laziness and ignorance. It’s just as easy to store your belongings on your own thumb drive that only you have access to. All of the crypto brokers are scams, even when they don’t realize it. They don’t think their job is to back client assets 1:1, but instead to use client money to grow the business and hope their collateral always covers their margin even though they deal with highly volatile products not backed by anything of actual value.

He’s probably doing what he feels he must to not be offed by someone he owes a lot of money to, such as the government. In return, maybe they allow him hideout/safe passage to disappear and retire somewhere so he doesn’t face punishment.

You are ready to put two people in the looney bin, this guy and myself, over a news story that provides no actual quotes or direct claims of the defendant.

You spent 60 seconds reading an article and believe you have all the information needed to determine a person’s fate.

Politicians must love how easily they can manipulate your emotions.

Ok so if the guy is insane, what did he say that is crazy?

The fact that you don’t know is troubling.

They never mention what his claim is. Maybe his claim isn’t that crazy at all, but the consequences to a specific individual by it being revealed are big enough to try to keep it secret. Why can’t the reader be allowed to determine for themselves what is a crazy claim and what is not. If they are going to publish this story, they should have the due diligence to publish the entire story.

Kanye is allowed to spew anti-semetic shit left and right and rile up social politics, so don’t tell me his crazy conspiracy is too dangerous for us to hear.

Not saying he isn’t crazy. But I don’t like taking the news’ word for it without the proper details.

So you wouldn’t help Will Smith in the movie Enemy of the State?

Or is it because some was coming after them all along???
