AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

The review lauds Ben McKenzie’s documentary *Everyone Is Lying to You for Money* as a brisk, sharply‑etched exposé that demystifies cryptocurrency by revealing it as a deliberately crafted illusion sold like digital snake‑oil. McKenzie, the film’s writer‑director, cuts through jargon and misinformation, tracing crypto’s origins from Bitcoin’s “limited‑supply” promise to the hype‑driven schemes of Celsius, FTX and their charismatic promoters—including Sam Bankman‑Fried—while also visiting El Salvador’s half‑realized “Bitcoin City.” Through unvarnished interviews with finance insiders and ordinary investors who lost their savings, the film shows how the mystique of rebellion and scarcity fuels a cult‑like devotion that endures even after the scams are exposed, making the documentary both an illuminating guide and a biting critique of the crypto craze.

#TheCryptocalypseChronicles: Pete Hegseth, A Man Of Questionable Judgment

#PeteHegseth's in the news lately because of a "mishap" with a Signal group chat involving possibly top secret information about killing #Houthis. You might think this demonstrates poor judgment.

This is all less surprising if you know that Hegseth is a crypto bro who lost a bunch of money in possibly the most obvious cryptocurrency ponzi scheme in history, #CelsiusNetwork. Hegseth entrusted the group of Russian Israelis running #Celsius with his hard earned money *even after* the CFO of the firm was sent to prison in #Israel for #moneylaundering and organized crime connections.

tl;dr Maybe America should reconsider putting crypto bros in charge of the military.

Retoots appreciated.
