Cryptocurrency as the next significant stage for computing technology, not just an investment

don't think they're worried about that as currently it seems more to be in line with a rug pull or money laundering:

In addition to the platform itself, World Liberty Financial will come with a governance token, WLFI, which will provide owners the right to vote “on matters of the platform.” Approximately 63 percent of the tokens will be sold to the public; 17 percent are set aside for user rewards, and 20 percent will be reserved for World Liberty Financial team compensation.

hopefully his supporters take this opportunity as a litmus test; can they trust enough with their personal finances?

"get ready to be defiant"

that logo is almost similar to the ICICB group crypto scam logo from a few years back that didn't even launch but somehow managed to double the valuation of the group before "mysteriously" dissolving and leaving investors rekt

^^ not sure how i felt about that, but mmmkay.

the token launched today and: was plagued by problems upon its launch on Tuesday. The token, dubbed WLFI, is only available for sale through World Liberty’s official site, which suffered multiple and lengthy outages over the course of the day.

The platform says it has sold more than 532 million tokens at 15 cents per token. That’s less than 3% of the 20 billion tokens made available for public sale.

That's still nearly $80M they've grifted. Fucking crazy talk.

I see there are at least four scam (as in a separate scam) tokens using the WLFI symbol on coinmarketcap. Lot of people gonna lose their life savings.

A cryptocurrency entrepreneur who bought a piece of conceptual art consisting of a simple banana, duct-taped to a wall, for $6.2 million last week ate the fruit in Hong Kong on Friday.

He said in a statement that the piece “represents a cultural phenomenon that bridges the worlds of art, memes, and the cryptocurrency community. I will personally eat the banana as part of this unique artistic experience, honoring its place in both art history and popular culture”

“It tastes much better than other bananas. Indeed, quite good”

lel. Fuck Satoshi Nakamoto! I believe people trying to say they are him actually defeats the purpose of Bitcoin, so I don't trust anyone.

Late Wednesday, bitcoin hit $100,000—a major milestone for the cryptocurrency, which has been experiencing a massive upswing since Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election.

Trump is a shiny new crypto supporter, launching his own cryptocurrency on the campaign trail and hoping to woo crypto enthusiast voters by promising to slacken the Biden administration's heightened scrutiny of cryptocurrency.

According to CNN, bitcoin's latest record high came shortly after Trump announced his intentions to nominate Paul Atkins to lead the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) once Gary Gensler—a noted crypto critic—resigns on Inauguration Day.

i worry that this shit is going to actually get big enough to legitimize itself by its sheer size & buy-in. i don't know if that's a real actual worry but, it feels like it could be.

terminal stupidity.

used to get a news letter from ross ulbricht's mom with updates and pleas for help etc to free her son. wild. 

i don't remember all the details though.. i bet we get some youtube algorithm fodder about ross and DPR and silk road soon...
