we are finally starting to pierce the veil of digital denialism/#cyberlibertarianism, at least with regard to : " bros and their pet politicians have long claimed that if you overregulate crypto, you’ll kill innovation. The White House is saying that, for all the promises and hot air, there is no innovation here — so the path is clear to regulate the hell out of you." @davidgerard & Amy Castor amycastor.com/2023/03/24/do-kw

"One theory among critics was that all cryptocurrency exchanges are broke because they are over-leveraged & full of unsaleable cryptocurrency assets that have no market demand, but are still accounted for at full mark-to-market value–& not at what a seller could actually get for them. If that is true, then the future of may involve even more firms filing for bankruptcy in the near future." Amy Castor aljazeera.com/economy/2022/12/

I really don’t understand how , and are taking so much flak. If you loose tens of thousands at the casino that’s part of the deal - it does seem that @sequoia et al. did no due diligence preferring to believe the “always a bigger fool” theory of crypto.

In today's , paid shill & general knobhead defends & at Senate Committee Hearing, and blames for the fall. :dentonlol:

Wow, nobody saw THAT coming from him.

Literal quote from O'Leary: "I have an opinion, I don't have records."

Surely CZ/Binance also pushed all the buttons at too, amirite? :troll:

I'm not a big fan of Binance, but come on, we all know who's to blame for FTX's .

In what organisation is the CEO the only person aware of loans? Surely the CRO should have been aware? Where is the Board culpability in this?

"The Block Chief Executive Officer Michael McCaffrey resigned after failing to disclose a series of loans from disgraced former FTX head Sam Bankman-Fried’s Alameda Research. He was the only person with knowledge of the funding at the company."
