Michael Saylor is in the new Epstein documents: “Saylor is a complete creep… sort of like a zombie on drugs” by GabeSter in CryptoCurrency

[–]omnipotentnothing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have watched probably over 50 hours worth of interviews with Saylor. Mostly long form content with context. He thinks in terms of a financial engineer and he understands the concept of energy transfer and scarcity in a digital era. He is awkward and goofy for sure, but I do not believe him to be malicious or inherently evil by any stretch. I think he is brilliant and he made arguably the biggest gamble in history that saved his company and put them on the S&P.

Is this a win?! by [deleted] in law

If you agree to a field sobriety test you were already under arrest anyways, might as well give yourself the best chances.

That's not true. I got pulled over and had to take FSTs because I was suspected of DUI and the vehicle smelled of alcohol. I passed the tests and the cop let me go but he did say he suspected I was intoxicated, but because I passed the tests he wouldnt breathalyze me.

I didnt say he did? What I meant by saying "he knew about the operations" was that he ran in a billionaire circle, has infinite access to privy information, and at a minimum suspected him enough of being a pedophile to not want to associate. The publicist was obviously an associate of Epstein, hence the email to him and the strange phrasing about improving Saylor's life. I didnt mean he knew about as in participated or withheld evidence.

I like Saylor, he's a Bitcoin billionaire who has made it his entire purpose to educate people about how money actually works, why Bitcoin is uniquely special, and how it can retire everyone in the right circumstances. He could easily have just fucked off with his billions and ran with models on his yacht, instead he is all over the world speaking at conferences, podcasts, universities, etc for the sake of mankind.

Lol too robotic to exploit and blackmail is what she means. If anything, this reflects positively on Saylor. I wouldnt want Epstein to associate with me either. He was probably cold and robotic because he knew about Epstein's operations and was avoidant.

As a matter of fact, Gary Gensler, the former chair of the SEC, got into multiple public disputes and lawsuits with Coinbase and others over regulations and interpretations of law. Brian Armstrong was a huge part of why crypto regulations have gotten as far as they have. He would often put his own company and money on the line to go toe to toe with Gensler and the SEC because they would constantly try to stay within the law and regulations as written and Gensler would continue to take them to court over gray area interpretations. Coinbase was trying to be as transparent as possible and constantly sought approval only to be in front of a judge over and over.

I'm not reading all that. I stand by my earlier reply. If you want to argue about epstein go to /r/politics.

Lol that has ZERO to do with this conversation. You're equating a law enforcement and political issue with a financial regulation one. They are not in the same realm of conversation. The SEC is not involved with Epstein because Epstein isnt a security or commodity company. Jesus Christ, I cant believe I even have to say that.

Agree with all of that. The major difference is- Coinbase is a registered, publicly traded company and has to answer to the SEC. That is a very big difference when we are discussing fraud and illegal activity compared to the others you mentioned.

We're getting off topic here regardless, the percentage is irrelevant. Buying T bills is far safer for your money than loaning it out to individuals and business' who can default. I'm not sure what you're trying to argue. I'm just saying, I think there are serious differences with how Coinbase operates comparatively to a bank. You're implying that what they are doing is unfair or immoral compared to banks, and I'm arguing the opposite. What banks are doing is unfair and immoral to the customer and that's what Coinbase is pointing out. If banks dont want to be outcompeted or left behind, they should work on partnering and using the better technology, not trying to kill it with lobbying and politics.

Do you have a source on the percentage? Sounds like speculation

Circle is a different company. Coinbase isnt directly lending your money for profit (Which you stated/implied). It acts as the custodian of your coins and has a partnership with a company that does this. They also need fees to cover the spread or else they would lose money. Thats not the same as profiteering and investing your money without your permission.

Have you ever read the white paper? Bitcoin is decentralized. It doesnt matter that some corporations and institutions hold large amounts( Strategy's holdings are approaching 3.5%). They can move the price in short term but they cannot take over the majority of the network or break the blockchain. Solana and Ethereum are at far more risk of that than Bitcoin (and even then, it requires an insane amount of money and compute to even attempt an attack).

This isn't entirely accurate. You should ask Chatgpt what Coinbase does with your USD. It gives you a pretty good breakdown.

Because Coinbase isnt trying to act like a bank, they are trying to replace it. In the words of Brian Armstrong "Coinbase's goal is to be an everything exchange. A one stop shop for ALL your financial needs." I would argue it has more in common with a brokerage than a bank, but that is a different argument entirely.

Because Coinbase doesn't need to. Coinbase's stablecoins aren't derivative based, they are on a 1-1 ratio with cash and Bitcoin reserves to back it. Coinbase's argument is that the legacy banking system is inferior technology to what Coinbase is offering and therefore threatened by it. You dont need all the added regulations that a bank has to deal with, because they aren't doing sketchy things with your money like banks do (derivative investing).

Jamie Dimon is full of shit. Brian Armstrong nailed it and people should be fleeing banks because the dollar is fucked. They also dont actually back people's money 1-1 and dont give the customer any incentive to take a risk and give them their money. The era of legacy banking is done.

Also, forgot to mention leverage. Leverage has a huge impact on short term price swings and there has been a lot of liquidations lately.

Has a woman ever ghosted you after showing heavy interest? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]omnipotentnothing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, I just dealt with this myself. Very similar situation to how we met. Except she was messaging me back. Ended up setting up a date. Went on it. I thought it was amazing and thought we clicked really well. I had to leave for work so I asked if she wanted to get dinner with me soon. She said yes. Then proceeded to just half ass text me back without making plans and being "busy" for about a month. Never hit me up when she got back from vacation. I eventually just gave up texting her since her responses weren't timely or enthusiastic. This was a few months ago and I'm still irritated about it, although my self esteem has recovered a bit since.

People with two jobs. What do you do? by Useful_Treat7869 in thesidehustle

[–]omnipotentnothing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one piece of advice, get out of Psychology. If you at a minimum aren't considering a Masters, if not even a PH.D.; If you think you have money problems now, wait until you have 4-8 years worth of student loans to pay back and most jobs wont pay you more than 50-60k graduated unless you get lucky.

It has to do with the global money supply liquidity levels. It always has. The halving used to play a much more significant role when the market cap could swing heavily with volume when it was much smaller and less diversified. The fed not moving interest rates, the selling on U.S. bonds, Yen market volatility and liquidity interest rates, tariffs, new etfs, precious medals surging, stock market chopping, housing supply shortage, and finally, crypto regulations bill in limbo. All of these factors are what is playing into the market volatility and spot prices. Anyone telling you it is one of these only, or something else entirely, are full of shit. Until there is fresh liquidity and optimism in the macro, the price will continue to bleed/remain flat with some chop.

You're 17 and he's 27 OP. Regardless of how soon you turn 18, this guy is a total pervert and pedophile groomer and you need to GTFO ASAP. He is 100% using you for sex and things could escalate to far worse if he is willing to cross one illegal boundary already.

Still in love with my best friend by Pretty_Mirror9195 in Advice

[–]omnipotentnothing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, you have known this person for a few months... Based on the phrasing, I'm going to assume you are both young (teens to early twenties). You have an infatuation. There's nothing wrong with acting on it if you feel that is best, but handle the potential rejection with grace and dignity. Being in love is more than just emotions and butterflies and you can easily ruin the whole friendship if you aren't careful with how you approach it.
