remember when mainstream news outlets published a bunch of incredibly irresponsible articles about how rich people were getting off crypto, and then people bought in and got wrecked over the two years of "crypto winter" that followed?

anyway here's a WSJ headline i just saw: "Young Men Are Making Risky Bets on Crypto and Politics—and Raking It In Right Now"

@molly0xfff I am trying to pay attention to individual authorship and not just develop a gestalt vibe of “the media” or even the editorial voice of a specific publication, and I was richly rewarded for it this time with a surprise “forbes 30 under 30” mention: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Roose

Kevin Roose - Wikipedia

What IS it with that list? Didn't someone recently notice people on the list were disproportionately likely to do dodgy stuff or something?

@FediThing @molly0xfff just a couple of comedy articles from The Onion style sites like (checks notes) the Boston University Review of Banking and Financial Law https://www.bu.edu/rbfl/2023/05/17/30-under-30-pipeline-to-prison/

“30 Under 30” Pipeline to Prison | Review of Banking & Financial Law
