Maybe it is fitting that poorest murricans, Magats, were not asked to part with cash for trinkets... #MAGA

On the Sunday #MSNBC Nov 2 2025 The Weekend Primetime a reporter found... (listen at the 36min point) that...

#Trump made over $300 million on a #memecoin that 600,000 #SmallInvestors bought and lost around $3.9 Billion (that's a b with a B)

@kkarhan @hyc @voxel
My point was that Ethereum staking can be run on a NUC or even on a Rasperry Pi.
There are no ASICs here. So:

"#Ethereum uses #ASIC|s which makes it way more polluting due to these being useless for anything else."
is completely false. misinformation.

meanwhile:
" the only thing that moving #Ethereum from #PoW to #PoS achieved is raising the wall to make it harder, more expensive amd less attractive for #SmallInvestors to fiddle with it."
Is also demonstrably false.

@cobordism @hyc @voxel IMHO the only thing that moving #Ethereum from #PoW to #PoS achieved is raising the wall to make it harder, more expensive amd less attractive for #SmallInvestors to fiddle with it.

Demondtrably, #EthereumClassic would at least be more trustworthy, alas that's an Opinion based off 'vibes'

  • Whether the PoS transition did save energy is debateable since #Ethereum uses #ASIC|s which makes it way more polluting due to these being useless for anything else. #Scalpers are shit but at the very least a #CPU or #GPU can be reused elsewhere…

Company head #DevinNunez sold approx 1/4 of his position in #TruthSocial and other execs like the #CFO etc are also unloading million$ of the spiraling #DJT #SocialMedia stock before #BossTrump himself legally can start #dumping his 114m shares later this month. With less revenue than a lone Chick-Fil-A location, the future of #Trump's money siphoning stock looks bad for die hard #SmallInvestors who will soon be left holding empty bags of burning #dogshit.

Top Truth Social execs—including the CEO—are shedding stock before Trump even can

Trump can’t sell off his stake in his own company—at least not yet.

The same @BaFin that ignored shortsellers like #SafkhetCapital and had people inside #BaFin invested in #Wirecard and that has been very much incompetent and still has the audacity to demand more powers...
