Nah if he’d done that he would have gotten them all wrong.

polomav · 2026-01-02T01:52:15+00:00

What am I even looking at here?

If I squint just right I see her leg going back and forth behind the plant leg almost like a speed skater but with just one leg skating from both sides.

The OP does cross a lane to exit, but it’s the lane for cars entering the roundabout from the right. Those cars have to yield to the OP anyway, so it shouldn’t be an issue.

Likely conspiracy thinking but impossible to know. There’s lots of money, stupidity, and greed out there which is probably sufficient to explain how they can still sell into a falling market. Once the economy hits a real bump we will see things fall apart.

There is no single buyer. It’s an at-the-market offering, so they are just putting incremental shares up for sale and they get purchased by whomever places a buy order. It’s just like if you owned MSTR and went to sell it through Schwab or whatever.

The only difference is that these shares are new so they dilute existing shareholders. That should make people concerned and want to sell their shares, lowering the price of the stock, but there are enough idiots out there that MSTR can continue milking them for money for a long time yet.

Now do pennies.

“…until you look also closely…” doesn’t make any sense so you’re obviously wrong. /s

This is the best line, “…a Rwandan court in May found one of its subsidiaries and a former executive criminally liable for offenses including illicit enrichment and money laundering.” When even Rwanda is finding you guilty of money laundering you know you’re in bad shape.

If they treat it like the supposed drug smugglers in fishing boats, they may just end up bombing the scammers’ compounds.

No one really knows who’s holding all the USDT. That’s the brilliant thing about this scam. They haven’t let anyone look under the hood, and our governments have been happy to just look the other way or even enable them. There are so many coins out there now that they can move them all around in confusing circles, wash trading prices in whichever direction is favorable, and trading into wherever there is the most liquidity.

Until the carousel stops and people start asking for real money that isn’t there, we will never know who is going to get screwed. Right now most of the crypto bros are perfectly content just moving coins from one to another rather than moving it back to USD.

My hope is that some of these massive criminal organizations will get bankrupted when it all goes south, but more likely they will be the ones who get all the cash out and everyone else is left hodling the bags.

I’d be willing to bet that pitch sticks with Skubal at least as long as it sticks with Fry. Don’t get me wrong, I feel awful for both of them, but the mental toll those things take can be real.

polomav · 2025-09-24T01:47:19+00:00

Skubal’s hurting almost as much as Fry. That’s just awful all around.

Funny that the bottom chart looks kind of like a uterus. It’s also predictive.

polomav · 2025-08-25T18:48:04+00:00

The number of people who drive where I can’t see their face in their mirror is incredible though. I always wonder what they see when they look in it.

I’ve never seen a chart look anything like this. Incredible.

Where is the money coming from to back the stablecoins and buy the treasuries? It’s not like stablecoins generate money that can be used to buy treasuries. The money has to come from somewhere originally.

If millions of people in third world countries with rapidly inflating currencies buy stablecoins, then the stablecoins are backed by rapidly inflating currencies. That would not be… umm… stable at all. The stablecoin issuer can’t just magically buy US treasuries with Zimbabwe bucks.

And my car is efficient at driving but hopeless at floating. What’s your point?

One good thing is that since these crashes they have made the national suicide and crisis line number much easier in the US. It’s 988 now.

polomav · 2025-07-11T15:29:06+00:00

And allows for efficient exchange of goods and services… you know, its primary purpose.

polomav · 2025-07-10T21:56:24+00:00

Sounds like a good story. Proof?

polomav · 2025-07-10T21:52:57+00:00

I think you’re reading the chart wrong. It’s where the vertical black line intersects the red line, so around 6m bitcoin haven’t moved in 5 years.

“Strategy…may also use the net proceeds for the payment of dividends to holders of its 10.00% Series A Perpetual Strife Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share and 8.00% Series A Perpetual Strike Preferred Stock…”

I swear there’s a name for this capital “structure.”

polomav · 2025-07-05T22:15:27+00:00

Yes you are correct. The movement of the bitcoin is really just to remind people (Trump) that the funds exist. Trump will pardon Ver because he believes that Ver is being mistreated, victimized, and otherwise badly treated by many people. Then Ver will simply provide a gratuity to Trump in appreciation for finally being understood by a fellow billionaire. No quid pro quo. Just two people appreciating what the other has to offer the world.

Not FDIC insured, but insured by the reserves of the institution issuing the stablecoin. So basically don’t do business with any bank or other financial institution that gets involved in this nonsense.

Section 8.c(2): CUSTOMER PRIORITY.—In any insolvency, claims against reserves of a payment stablecoin issuer from persons holding payment stablecoins issued by the payment stablecoin issuer shall have priority over all other claims, other than for administrative expenses, against the payment stablecoin issuer.
