What does it matter if it works? China certainly doesn't care about theft

Does the EU ever get tired of proposing terrible innovation crushing laws?

They're really worth nothing everyone is just being tricked :((

I don't understand claims like this, if the net present value is zero, why is the price not zero? You have to convince yourself that everybody trading or holding the cryptocurrency is deluded and just playing a ponzi scheme with each other, but even if you believe this, those participants itself believe it has value.

Who is value set by, if not the market?

Do you think Kia's cut corners are causing a theft spree in Korea?

Aren't you doing exactly that when you complain how people type their messages?

yep if they're saying stuff I don't like they're crazy and a provocateur, hey, maybe they're even a communist!

just trust the experts bro

if you keep getting the facts wrong in hindsight, maybe you should be more open to considering other opinions instead of censoring them

the news isn't real because they have other articles that don't agree with my politics okay bro

Oops, we suppressed correct info, but it's not our fault, we didn't know it was correct!

paying 4x as much is an "obvious win"?

why is it distorted?

tech journalists hate crypto lol

swap your Bitcoin/eth/whatever for usdc/usdt/dai/other stables

you could have been just holding usdc on FTX, and got fucked. Of course, not your keys, not your crypto always applies, but it's easier to feel sorry for folks like this.

another hit piece on crypto with 0 substance. it's going to die anytime now!!!! how can you be so vemently opposed to programmable money?

no

they just decided to track journalists for fun with no-one telling them to? seems pretty unlikely to me.
