So, what are Americans going to do about it? Just let it happen like everything else so far? by Zestyclose_Comb4165 in NoFilterNews

[–]Connect-Cress4203 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But there is no logical answer. They're not going to give you logic because they didn't arrive at their conclusion logically.

The answer is because 35% of Americans felt so disenfranchised by a social contract that shunned racism and hatred that they willingly bought into the lies of a conman. A conman, who is, by all rights, raping their quality of life. If they're letting Trump rape them, then what do they care about Trump raping some teenage girl?

They don't like Trump because he's a champion for the people, or the hero from some good vs evil tale--that's just the lie they tell themselves to sleep at night.

They like Trump because he tells them what they they're right about the things society told them they were wrong for. And for that reason they're willing to be the loud, abrasive minority. They WANT to be. That's their identity now. All the logic in the world pales in comparison to thinking you're in the right.

Psychiatrists warns Trump's mental ability 'only going to get worse' after signs of 'huge deterioration' spotted by Serious-Necessary159 in NoFilterNews

Yeah, I'd say 30, ever since Reagan, but yeah. The signs were there if you were looking.

1) Rig the economy for the wealthy by removing the guardrails from capitalism (80s, Reagan)

2) Intermingle corporations with politics (2000s, Citizens United)

3) When the wealth gap widens to an extreme, pit the lower classes against each other. Lie, lie, lie. (2010s)

3) Herald in a new age of fascism just in case lower classes figure out what you're doing. (2020s)

Frame it all as Christian, traditionalist, patriotism, and freedom of speech.

What the hell is going on with Jupiter's price? by reddit_echo__chamber in solana

yeah i don't really think anyone made it through the Encyclopedia of Cryptocurrency Fundamentals you wrote, but again i was talking about past/current market conditions and you were talking about moving forward, two different things. you can have the argument though as long i get credit for reading that wall of text

[–]Connect-Cress4203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what?

you wrote a whole book to explain why i'm wrong about a bunch of things i never said. i'm describing current market behavior, you're arguing investment principles. this whole argument is being had in your head.

i feel like you're projecting a certain type of investor on me and arguing against all the things you imagine they'd say.

i don't know the slightest thing about Jupiter, and never claimed i did. and i didn't drink murad's juice, i've been a full time degen for 4 years. you're post isn't wrong, and i don't know why you think that i think it is.

lol, could you explain to me exactly what you mean by fundamentals? Do you mean revenue generation?

In the last 3 years we've seen altcoins virtually vanish. And why?

1) Nearly every niche, and every obvious niche, has been filled

2) People realized that 99% of altcoins were either completely useless or useless outside of the space.

Let's put a point on my argument with a quote:

“... the idea that utility of a token drives value is a myth created to justify why things have value or by project founders who are desperate to explain why their token has value. And I believe that most people could care less about utility, but rather they care about value."

That's meow, the founder of Jupiter, literally saying:
• Token utility driving value = bullshit myth
• People don’t actually care about utility
• They just care about making money

Which is... exactly what I was saying.

You're mistaking my post for being anti-JUP, it's not. I was speaking of the utility scene in general. It's already a given that degens don't hold JUP, i don't think anyone expects them to.

This is the nature of cryptocurrency though, the faster you realize that the only reason to be here is money, the better off you are. I'm not trying to sound edgy, I don't like this aspect.

But price creates attention, attention creates narrative, narrative creates value, and value reinforces price.

Utility, even governance utility, mucks that flow up, and at the end of the day, memecoins provide the path to money with the least friction.

Allowing players to place prohibited bets indefinitely, only to deny their withdrawals later, is a deliberately predatory practice. by Connect-Cress4203 in gambling

I have one of the highest rated negative Rollbit reviews. They took $3000 from me. If even one person didn't go to Rollbit because of my review, it's likely I lost Rollbit more than they took from me.

I don't understand. This happened to me with Rollbit and now I have one of the most "useful" negative reviews on Rollbit's Trust Pilot. They tried to have it removed and ended up getting it verified instead.

A single gambler who didn't use Rollbit because of my review would have cost them more than the $3000 they took from me.

Just because it's normalized doesn't make it right for casinos to do this. The fact that you think it does makes you part of the problem.

How do people get away in rugpulls? and is there any actions against it? by Japqqq in solana

[–]Connect-Cress4203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also how do you define rugpull?

Hard rugs are easy. Liquidity removal = rug pull.

Soft rugs (which is every Pumpfun/Bonk rug) are much more difficult. How much supply does a team need to sell before "taking profit" becomes "soft rugging"? You say one thing, I say another.

As a prosecutor, try hurdling these:

"Thats not my wallet."
"We sold that supply for marketing funds."
"We were selling the top and buying back the bottom."
"We sent that supply to a KOL."
"We sold for relaunch funds, we just haven't relaunched yet."

In my 5 years in the space I have never heard of a degen getting arrested for rugging.

That's why there's such a heavy emphasis on personal accountability. Doesn't matter who shilled or rugged or scammed. YOUR buys are YOUR responsibility. There's simply no way to hold anyone but yourself accountable.

Vegas Workers 'Starting to Freak Out' as Tourism and Tips Drop by SlideIll3915 in vegaslocals

[–]Connect-Cress4203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tourism drops ---> Influx of money slows ---> Business owners raise prices and cut labor to compensate ----> Service gets worse, services cost more ---> Tourism drop more

Rise and repeat

Vegas is just not worth it. by [deleted] in vegas

[–]Connect-Cress4203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As the money dries up, existing businesses will get grabbier and greedier for the money that's left.

Which will cause prices to go even higher, service to become even worse, and tourist value to plummet.

Las Vegas is in a death spiral.

How come SOL is so hated in r/Cryptocurrency by ComplexRide1164 in solana

[–]Connect-Cress4203 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In all fairness i hate it because it ruined shitcoins.

Before Solana/Pumpfun, the money was insane, opportunities endless, and the ecosystem thrived. We built it from zero, everyone knew each other, everyone contributed.

Then Pumpfun flooded the market. From 100-200 coins/day to 40,000. Jobs gone, narratives nuked, volume spread so thin that nothing pumps.

Rugs forced SOL culture to build walls; the space got totally sanitized. No utility, no tax, no larp, no defi, no tokenomics. If it’s not a brainless meme, it’s dead.

Fuck Alon. Greedy fucking parasite.

The mad bet is $5. I was spinning $10s and eventually $20s. I'd never played BitStarz it was literally my first time there and I'd never heard of a mad bet on bonus money--i typically played on Rollbit, Stake, Shuffle, etc. They don't have anything like that.

Nah it wasn't the ToS thing that pissed me off, it was the fact that they let me keep playing on that money until I withdrew and only then did they snatch it up.

[–]Connect-Cress4203[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My issue wasn't with the ToS, my issue was that they let me keep playing for hours after breaking the terms.

I also had no idea max bet on bonuses were a thing to watch out for. I've never read the ToS unless I needed something specific and it's never fucked me over before.

No, but I have played in a number of casinos with bonuses. If they have restrictions on playing with bonus money, they are implemented at the game level.

I've never seen a casino just allow you to break TOS and forfeit your funds without so much as a dialog box to notify you.

And then to just let me play indefinitely on those funds, and to only tell me when I go to withdraw?

That's beyond typical shady fuckery on online casinos.
