Living in Denver and having gone to Bentonville, I definitely see the similarities - but they're very much in 2 different leagues. Coors holds the economy up here a lot though; and everything in the hometown of Coors (Golden) is only o

Yeah, but they're not playing with institutional money. They're not messing with people that have world-leaders on speed dial. Crypto gets away with what it does because when you enter an explicitly laissez-faire side of life, exp
