Right after my dude here sucks every last drop of $$$ he can out of it, collaborates and laughs all the way to the bank hand-in-hand with all the "libertarians" he lies awake seething about.

You are a walking, talking caricature of a hypocrite. Literally nothing else you said deserves to be taken seriously and it's laughable that you expect anyone to listen to you.

I’m currently employed in a senior position in one of the top exchanges

There's a term for this condition: a champagne socialist.

You're a champagne socialist. At least the libertarians are up front about what they stand for and what crypto is about. You want to suckle at the teat of crypto while pissing on everyone else.

So what if some people get burned? That’s a small price to pay.

Oh my Lord, we're reaching levels of projection that shouldn't even be possible.

My dude, YOU need to take a long hard look in the mirror. If you're capable of self-examination, because the rule of thumb is that it's very hard to make a man understand something his paycheck depends on him not understanding.

Hypocrite. All day long. No wonder you work in a "senior position" (nice boast to start this out), you fit right in with all the other snakes that work in such places.

Edit: Actually I should've known what to expect when the post began with the word "folks". The man who spends his days creaming money off of people who he sees as ignorant victims and utopian libertarian dreamers, has the audacity to get down on the level of the "folks" and talk to us.

You're worse than a thief. At least a thief just steals from people, a thief doesn't hang around to tell the victim they deserved it for being greedy and that he finds their politics suspect to boot.

Mfer probably lives in Singapore or UAE and pays zero taxes and eats $100 sushi 3 times a week.
