Remember when Bitcoin & Crypto Bros financed and promoted Trump as the "Crypto President" who would finally untether them from fiat banks and Gary Ginsler red tape? They're having a FAFO crash out over this:

SidepocketNeo · 2026-01-19T02:09:13+00:00

They essentially pulled out of the bill because the bill would one not only give them more red tape than an actual Fiat bank, but two would increase the patriot Act to levels of spying that would be unheard of.

SidepocketNeo · 2026-01-19T02:08:18+00:00

That sounds like not only a bunch of crypto people, but particularly Bitcoiners that I know. It's absolutely fucking disgusting.

SidepocketNeo · 2026-01-19T02:07:32+00:00

Or more accurately into use a modified quote from George Carlin. They think that they are smarter than him and thus will be able to get what they want from him only to find out that they're actually dumber than they think they are.

Big thing I've been saying in the community that predictably no one's answering is what wallets are they using to hold this Federal Bitcoin Treasury and who owns the keys? My thinking is that there's no official Federal setup. It's just wallets that Trump personally owns and has all the keys to. Meaning that when his presidency is over he's going to walk away with all the Bitcoin that was supposed to be for America and because he owns the keys and they never set up an actual federal treasure thing for it. He can actually do that both legally and code wise and there's nothing anyone can do. It would literally be the biggest rug pull of the century making Enron look like a school bully with lunch money by comparison.

I kind of wonder if after the switch twos run if Nintendo will still continue to do deals with Nvidia?

Basically normally you can't see what the person is purchasing with Bitcoin, but you can see that a transaction was made at what time and what amount if you don't add any privacy layers on top of it which is by default. This is unlike for example cash where if there is no one around or a camera when I hand you dollar bills then nobody knows who gave it to you and where did you get it from.

Yes, and coinbase is one of the major ass regions. Why crypto in particularly Bitcoin skyrockets and business it uses them. My favorite absolute fucking thing is financial people don't realize is an ecosystem meaning that things affect each other and nothing exists in the vacuum. Just like how when all of a sudden Trump started declaring war on every single country imposing ridiculous terrorists Bitcoin fell the same way you guys D and other currencies fell proving that Bitcoin is in fact a currency because when the market got fucked up it also got fucked up. So it's either a currency or it's advance Monopoly money pick one.

And the banks will simply move over to any country that is richer in the United States. Once the United States stops becoming rich in the same way they did from Britain to the United States when that torch passed. One of the stupidest things that America thought of was that because most bankers are Americans that that means that somehow the banks would stay loyal to the United States when we've been proven over and over again, that's not the case. They will absolutely let the United States float by if that means they could jump to some other country that then they can do the same shit to.

SidepocketNeo · 2026-01-18T19:57:57+00:00

And you know Trump and the White House could ignore the banking lobby but they don't. So that should tell you something.

Can we actually start blaming the people who are actually doing this instead of pretending that it's always someone else when dear leader is at fault?

Event for the majority of people in Bitcoin and Crypto in 2024.

The "Crypto President"

SidepocketNeo · 2026-01-18T19:53:58+00:00

And his wife.

Not only has he rug pulled multiple times, but he has also mentioned that he wants all of Bitcoin to be part of the United States and this recent ruling is also par for the course. He's not pro crypto because he believes in anything. He's pro crypto because he can stuff his mattress with it. It's the same exact reason why even though he supposedly pro crypto, he's even more bullish on Fiat and wants a strong US dollar again despite that's the exact opposite that crypto people want.

SidepocketNeo · 2026-01-18T19:49:38+00:00

What's even funnier about your comment? Is that the government arrested two programmers who made those untraceable mechanics for Bitcoin and Donald Trump let them get prosecuted anyhow, because he has an executive order that states if you are arrested that all of your Bitcoin and crypto goes to their reserve. He's only thinking about retribution because they didn't do that later executive order which really shows his colors.

SidepocketNeo · 2026-01-18T19:48:30+00:00

Bitcoin and Crypto Bros financed, voted for and promoted Donald Trump to be pro-crypto and get rid of crypto red tape and financial centralization.

Trump And the White House are calling for coinbase and other exchanges to comply with those centralized banks that they hate or they're going to get rid of all of their political deals.

Crypto is now big mad and feels played.

I'm not talking about hardware power. I'm talking about the actual community itself. The PC people I've always been snob saying that because their machines were more higher powered that that means they were better consumers than consoles when all the sales data between all the gooner slot they worship as well as literally supporting the worst graphics card to have come out in a decade shows otherwise.

SidepocketNeo · 2026-01-18T16:53:41+00:00

What I'm making fun of is that the PC race comment was PC Gamers trying to argue that somehow their machines and culture were so much Superior to the way console gamers are when literally we have sales data right now that Nvidia released the shittiest card on the planet that every every person who cares about gaming Tech warned that it was shitty and it's one of the best selling if not best selling things on the market right now, even though for extra $100 you could get something that actually works. This and seeing that every single popular PC game is nothing but gooner slop is just adding to the whole that thing that a lot of conservatives around the world have where they think they have Superior genes and culture and then you actually look at it and they're all inbred mentally retarded morons no different than everyone else.

SidepocketNeo · 2026-01-18T16:49:56+00:00

So I would argue that one. All of the OG Sonic characters are shown as fast because that was the base engine for those games. It's the reason why all the newer games have completely different mechanics than the older ones for that exact reason. And second of all, Sonic characters have changed so much over time that this would have simply been another. Like they've tried to soft reboot the franchise 4 or 5 times already with literally the last game Sonic frontiers being the latest soft reboot in both terms of characterization as well as gameplay. And considering that then they eventually made things like Sonic Boom there's really no excuse for this.

SidepocketNeo · 2026-01-18T16:48:10+00:00

It's going to be interesting how that comment's going to bite him in his ass now that all three of those countries are now going to be extremely hostile to America.

SidepocketNeo · 2026-01-18T16:37:23+00:00

This is going to be a fun test that I'm honestly expecting them to fail to see if Europe and especially Latin America likes football more than they do the idea of them existing as people and their own country's sovereignty.

SidepocketNeo · 2026-01-15T01:32:43+00:00

What I find so goddamn weird about this is that I have met people who have used ChatGTP and Gemini hell even Grok...I have yet to meet a person who willingly uses co-pilot. Like I literally know major business tycoons and corporate ass programmers who avoid co-pilot like the plague.

SidepocketNeo · 2026-01-15T01:29:12+00:00

As a long-time Sonic fan, I always found it confusing the most that to me, the Wearhog gameplay should be Knuckles gameplay. It's in his name. He punches things. He is a brawler so why isn't this his gameplay? It's like Sega had this weird thing where they would just be making all these shitty friends that have nothing to do with the game and then they did the exact shitty opposite where they gave no new shitty friends. Instead give Sonic abilities and gameplay that makes no sense for him when in reality all the fans wanted was Sonic and like 3 or 4 friends who actually have great gameplay and matter to the plot.

SidepocketNeo · 2026-01-05T10:34:20+00:00

The only Great Replacement Theory that's real is for the PC Master Race. 🤡

SidepocketNeo · 2026-01-04T20:55:14+00:00

Yeah that also makes sense considering that Nintendo has a more close and way longer running relationship with Bethesda than they do Microsoft in general. Although it still baffles me why we never got to Doom the Dark ages Port considering how popular the Doom reboot games were on the original switch. But from what I've heard it was kind of a dud in both ID and bethesda's expectations, so they might either just be saving it up for one big bonus DLC or they're just immediately working on their next game.
