  1. Bern, you fucking brilliant genius, linking to fucking sponsored content that is clearly labeled as such and has "sponsored" in the url, from fucking bitcoinmagazine.com to support your argument. This is some sort of avant garde performance, isn't it?

    LBGTQ

    JK Rowling has been a rancid TERF for years, but boy was it still shocking to check Twitter today and see her doing some holocaust denial:
  3. Have you ever wondered why the "currency" that is sold to you as a tool for liberation seems to be most fervently championed by frauds and billionaires like Marc Andreessen? That's because it's literally the exact opposite of what they sell it as. It's not a tool of liberation for normal people, It's a tool for criminals and the wealthy (who are also criminals) to take even more money from normal people.
  4. A lot of Bitcoin transactions take over 30 fucking minutes to clear, not to mention the transaction fees. There's nothing easy about it.
  5. Propagandists for frauds, human traffickers, and CSAM distributors should consider doing what Imperial Japanese officers used to do when they would dishonor themselves.
  6. A lot of people tend to remember certain details a little differently from each other, but what Biden was clearly doing in that portion of the interview was using memories of what he knew to be contemporaneous major events to try to orient his recollection, which is literally how pretty much anyone remembers anything that happened a long time ago. It really cannot be overstated how fucking normal that is for people of all ages to do and for Hur to mischaracterize that the way he did is just some incredibly scummy behavior. He should be pelted with rotten produce every time he steps out in public for the rest of his life for that shit.
  7. Are you aware of the things they're saying and broadcasting on Israeli television about their operations in Gaza right now?
  8. For those who aren't lawyers, saying shit like that in a deposition is a tactic a ton of lawyers use to increase stress on a deponent without seeming like you're being an asshole.
  9. Did you miss the recent convictions of SBF and CZ? How about 3 guys recently charged in a $1.89 billion fraud case? Or the guy recently convicted of $300 million in a securities fraud case for running bots to manipulate a cryptocurrency's price? Maybe this will help explain things a little better. I'm pretty sure I posted a link to this back when the crypto collapse was beginning (though can't find the post), but the ultimate problem with Bitcoin is that it is a negative-sum ecosystem: Because Bitcoin has no actual inherent value and it is a negative-sum game, those who hold a lot of Bitcoin have to constantly lie about its value to bring in new suckers. Basically, every normal American who thinks they're just getting into another investment similar to stock in a publicly traded company is the mark at a poker table sitting down to play with nothing but sharks and who is bound, sooner or later, to lose everything they've bought in with. If you're lucky, that shark is just some asshole who wash traded his shares to falsely inflate their value by a few thousand percent. If you're unlucky, you end up accidentally helping some asshole monetize his distribution of child sexual abuse material or his literal kidnapping and enslavement of people in places like Cambodia.
  10. I think he thought they'd reward him for taking advantage of an opportunity to carry out a political smear. He clearly misjudged though, because he didn't realize that Republican officials are all actual nutjobs and aren't just playing pretend anymore.
  11. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/03/12/biden-hur-transcript-classified-documents/ This was presented by Hur as "he did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died."
  12. Honestly, I think Schiff still went easy on him. Given the transcript pretty clearly demonstrates that Hur misrepresented the details around the conversation concerning Beau's death, I wish one of the Democrats had been better about cornering that little rat fuck even further. Surely Hur had the transcript of his interview available to refer back to when writing his report. No remotely intelligent person could read that transcript and then present it the way Hur did in his report. So either he knowingly lied, or he didn't bother to actually review the transcript when preparing his report and was relying on a clearly-faulty memory of his interview with Biden.
  13. Anyone who refuses to acknowledge Israeli agency is no true friend of the Israeli people.
  14. As for the human trafficking and child exploitation angle, Crypto, and Bitcoin specifically for the most part, has enabled a huge boom in that in recent years: When you promote bitcoin, you're helping human traffickers and child pornographers profit.
  15. There is no price that would make me believe it has any real value, because it doesn't. An entire ecosystem that relies on there always being a greater fool isn't valuable.
  16. So what you're saying is that if I told enough lies to enough people to convince them that wildcatcoin was actually worth a lot, then you'd be interested. I'm personally angry about Bitcoin because we're letting bitcoin miners waste absurd amounts of energy that would be reckless even if we didn't have a shitty electric grid, we fucking pay them to stop when we need the power they're otherwise using, its markets are controlled by fraudulent actors that exploit vulnerable people, and it enables human trafficking and child exploitation on an otherwise-impossible scale. All for something that is not actually useful as a currency and has no inherent value whatsoever.
  17. I'm going to create a new cryptocurrency called wildcatcoin and I'm only going to make 100 of them. Do you want to buy one for $1,000,000?
  18. It's common sense that, for example, an IDF soldier who executes a civilian in cold blood isn't morally responsible for that man's death? That's what you want to tell God when you meet him?
  19. The 6th Street Journal thread with the idiots and grifters is that way ---------------------------->
  20. That's an amazing religion you practice, Johnny.
  21. +/- 3.7 YPC for Sooner trash this season? Who besides Icono thinks he'll hit the over?
  22. Bullshit. You don't resign from the DOJ and prep for this shit today with GOP ratfuckers if you're remotely concerned with ethics or propriety. ETA: you also don't wildly mischaracterize aspects of the interview to cruelly misrepresent Biden as not even remembering when his son died. That's some heinous fucking behavior.
  23. I don't think he gives a shit. He's auditioning for AG or even a SCOTUS pick if Trump gets re-elected.
