Weird that an unregulated currency with absolutely nothing behind it, and that can only be spent in approximately .08% of all stores isn't doing well.

And all these "Make 20% interest per year!" coins are blowing up, too.

And the price of graphics cards are now magically in stock again and prices dropping.

Just checked Microcenter i was at in March, the 3070 TI i was considering buying was going for $950, now they are selling for $750 and have 25+ in stock.

Good. Fuck cryptominers.

I feel a little sorry for these people, but these things all had clear warning signs.

Crypto needs government regulation.

Which I thought the absence of was the whole point?

Larry David was right

Oof! I have a friend who just earlier this year did a brag post on FB about getting into crypto and NFTs. I wonder if he'll do a follow up...?

You should ask for one

That's usually how pump + dump schemes work

FTX hacked today for hundreds of millions.
Per the tweet below, seems like there should be investigations and some people should be in prison, but like Epstein's client book...

I've been seeing a strangely large # of posts (twitter/reddit) about how FTX gave $$ to Democratic candidates, and therefore Democrats are somehow responsible for this fraud. Like, wtf? Crypto isn't regulated. Play dumb games, get dumb prizes. Well, get your prizes stolen from you.
