welcome to the #crypto industry, where the bar is on the floor
the potential for aging poorly is high on this one
@molly0xfff just watch, he's gonna bail out andrew tate and the two of them are going to be caught kidnapping and eating peoples dogs or something

@Viss from the book about coinbase, "Tasked with organizing Coinbase’s first retreat, Nathalie deftly deflected Brian and Fred’s idea that they do a ‘hunt and gather’ outing that would require every employee to kill their own food."

i refuse to believe there's not something VERY weird lurking under the surface at coinbase after reading that

@molly0xfff i think the author of the book intentionally took a beat to reflect on his phrasing and elected to intentionally omit the fact they were talking about hunting, killing and eating people. proooooobably their staff.
@Viss @molly0xfff you don't want to be in that bottom decile
@molly0xfff aging like a cut avocado in the sun.

@molly0xfff Aside from all the unlicensed securities trading, total stand-up guy.
@molly0xfff I was going to say at least they haven't stabbed any of their clients, but let's wait & see. No need to jump to conclusions.

@molly0xfff When you think you're at the rock bottom, there's still distance between you and the molten core of Earth.

Bet they, somehow, embed the bar deep into crust...

@molly0xfff i feel lucky because my credit union hasn't unexpectedly closed my account and embezzled my money.
@molly0xfff This is all such garbage. Unregulated, power-sucking, worldwide-wallet-filling, gangster-benefiting crypto is the mother of all cynical money laundering scams. I wrote more here, but bad words are bad.
@molly0xfff one of my favorite insults, and i think it's pretty relevant here:

"The bar was so low it was practically a tripping hazard in Hell, yet here you are, limbo dancing with the devil."
@molly0xfff The bar's so low, we had to dig a trench to lay it in.
@molly0xfff I am trying to come up with a good snarky comment on this. And failing. Just wow.
@molly0xfff
Are these the same folks that punch themselves in the face repeatedly so that it feels good when they stop?

@molly0xfff

Thanks for the laugh. I literally let our a howl at that headline.

"Look at how awesome we are. We didn't break any laws!"

@molly0xfff Calling it now: The bar will somehow break the laws of physics and phase through the floor.
@molly0xfff If the floor is not littered, I can pick it up.
@molly0xfff 🥥 Isn't the bar for the #Crypto industry in the basement, Molly? 🥥
@molly0xfff Calling Morris a "critic" is pretty funny, too. We were online acquaintances for years, coming out of Japanese studies blog communities, until I made one too many "crypto isn't serious" jokes, and he blocked me.
@molly0xfff crypto meanies make playground bullies look like good guys, 'cause they're big ol' baddies! 😠👎 But us lil' coders stick together n won't let them ruin our compootah playtime! 😄💻 #KidCodes #CompootahFriendshipForce
@molly0xfff has everyone also watched the latest John Oliver episode? Shit’s pretty hilarious — https://youtu.be/o7zazuy_UfI

If you didn't know @molly0xfff had a hand in content and fact checking that segment. She is credited at the end of the episode.
@molly0xfff I have full confidence that the industry is capable of pulling up the floorboards digging down and burying the bar well under the floor.
@molly0xfff and it’s a very dirty floor…
@molly0xfff Time to bring out my favourite screenshot:
@molly0xfff that industry is desperate for some sort of win. Lol the bar may be low to us but looking at #crypto, it's a bar they continue to fail to clear.
@itwasntme223 @molly0xfff hahahaha "not all our projects are rug pulls! Some are pyramid schemes!"
@molly0xfff
“I think back, way back, to a simpler time when people just ‘thought’ we were crooks…when it was just a simple pyramid scheme and not just outright theft. Those were simpler times.”
@molly0xfff "As far as I'm aware, they're not literal criminals actively stealing from me, and that's good enough to earn my complete trust."

@molly0xfff I have been exploring #Crypto since about 2013. You are right the bar is very low, we urgently needs more regulation. I know that will annoy the crypto purists, but we are often dealing with people's life savings. Regulation should check if the people involved are fit and proper, as well as if the entity itself has proper controls in place.
@rodlux
Same here. I've been working with crypto since 13 and it's generally cheaper, more flexible, less invasive, and easier to work with than any domestic alternatives for e-commerce. Regulation would make it a more viable option for more users.
@shobe regulation I suspect may increase some costs, but would decrease overall risk, which in my view is worth it.

@molly0xfff Six feet under. The bar is six feet under.

In a lead casket.

@molly0xfff isn’t that dude the villain from the new Dune trailer?
