Just to put into context how utterly insane the crypto landscape is, imagine going back to 2005 and saying this out loud to anyone. They would lock you up far away from society, and keep you sedated.
@selzero "we have been warning you" 
@selzero
tbf this also sounds insane in 2023 and we should be prob locking these people up and sedating them so they can't financially harm themselves or others
@frankiesaxx @selzero this dude is definitely going to be arrested eventually.
@selzero And then the 2005 person innocently asks: "What's it with that ugly monkey avatar?" - "Ok... Hear me out..."
@selzero "some of you all still don't get it: you can use multiple slurp juices on a single ape"
@selzero Makes buying into tulip bulbs sound like a solid investment.
@selzero
What a wild, stupid, stupid time that was!

@selzero People who shill #Shitcoins and have a #eth name on their profile are unbearably #cringe.

Needless to say that in the age of #dusting, this level of blatant self-doxxing will bite them in the rear more than anything...

Seriously, who in their right mind still shills for #Ethereum, #Bitcoin  or any other #Shitcoin in the era of #Monero  is beyond me.

@selzero It's just so absurd, because unlike with #banking one can't decline funds.

So even if someone would know my IBAN & BIC they could technically sent all the ill-gotten money they want to it: Chances are my bank will just block the transaction and hand over the sum to a custodial account for investigators and unless I'd knew about it and ask for it, they won't even bother questioning me as suspect and most likely do their investigations in the background anyway.

Tornado Cash User 'Dusts' Hundreds of Public Wallets—Including Celebs Jimmy Fallon, Steve Aoki and Logan Paul

Tornado cash was banned yesterday. But now a naughty user is proving this ban may be difficult to enforce.

@selzero A sobering aspect of this is that if I was on the 2005 side of this interaction, I'd guess that this was a good sign about the future: if people have the time for "Pepe flips Shiba" to have this meaning, then future society must have solved all the real problems, hooray!

@selzero

As was, and remains, just.

WAIT! @selzero there is a PEPE crypto? like, you know, the 2008 meme?

THERE ARE ACTUAL SHIBA & PEPE COINS BEING SOLD UNIRONICALLY ALONG WITH DOGECOIN?!?!

and people forgot about dogecoin's main premise?!?!?

i can't even.

@blogdiva oh yes "meme coins" are an entire sub category of crypto coins, and when a new one comes out they all go nuts for it.

@selzero but... but... doge was never meant to make money 🤨 that was the whole premise. the minute it started making money they'd 'print' some more and devalue it.

do bros even meme, brah.

@blogdiva

See, the mistake you are making here is, you are applying logic to crypto currency. If you try to apply actual logic, you are gonna have a bad time, mkay.

Elon Musk seeks to end $258 billion Dogecoin lawsuit

Elon Musk asked a U.S. judge on Friday to throw out a $258 billion racketeering lawsuit accusing him of running a pyramid scheme to support the cryptocurrency Dogecoin.

Reuters

@selzero because as a parasite, he just swoops in and rides on whatever wave he thinks will make him look cool.

seriously, doge was created as the anti-coin but one of the guys involved came out to being a total dick so grock knows who has control of that coin nowadays. the whole premise was to always devalue it; to show why crypto wasn't to be 100% trusted because it was so easy to game it at the time of inception.

but bros are allergic to history, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@blogdiva @selzero The one, minimally good thing to come out of dogecoin was a bunch of stupid redditors blowing their money to put an Internet meme on an official NASCAR livery.

@selzero @blogdiva "Investors accused Musk, the world's second-richest person according to Forbes, of deliberately driving up Dogecoin's price more than 36,000% over two years and then letting it crash."

I have to admit I'm with Musk on this one.

@blogdiva @selzero Edgelord finance, it’s the future of global finance don’t’cha see?? 
@selzero That should still be the response.
@selzero Don't trust anything with mad, faux stupid spelling. Doge was the title given rulers of the Venetian Republic. But given the dog image used to promote this scam I assume it's supposed to be 'doggy'. But 'dodgy' works too.

@selzero It's like the inner thoughts of Wall Street traders just emerged, wet and new, into the world without any actual adult around to clean them up.

(to @molly0xfff)

@selzero
To be honest, this sounds in 2024 also like a cry out for mental health help.

@yacc143 @selzero

It’s like a Brawndo currency trader from Idiocracy.
