The commercials said "fortune favors the _brave_" where brave almost literally means risky. Take note of every commercial you see and you'll notice that some huge % of them have dead bodies on their balance sheets, poisoned w

> FTX is not crypto And a bank is not the ears of corn in the analogy. The thief here is FTX which is like the bank. You don't blame the corn for being stolen. Yes, blame the thief.

My dad said they would do air raid drills in elementary school (50's, 60's) due to the fear of a nuclear attack. They were taught to get under their desks.

An investment firm writes a puff piece about one of their investments, investment tanks, they delete the puff piece. Yeah they have no integrity when it comes to their image. Not sure who is shocked by that.

This claim, while I agree, is so far based on nothing. Be careful making these statements.

This is a story of a corrupt CEO. The main crypto part of it is that FTT was seen as actual money on its balance sheets. This individual stealing people's money sheds light on how regulations exist for a reason, especially when handlin

No idea but I doubt they were bombing brown people and guarding Arab oil investments for profit, nor were they attempting coups in resource-rich countries. All that happens with my USD savings account.

Agreed! I do hold it all in my earning account and if borrowers skip town, then I lose. I treat it as a low risk/low reward in my portfolio. Coincidentally, my "earnings" I pulled out recently was almost the exact opposite am

Not good for anyone, obv, but where is the money?? If dude sent it to his other company, shouldn't it be sitting there? Did they already spend it? Although crypto is marred with scams and is by nature often shady, this isn't about

Beyond sensational. Claiming "this is the end!" because of a downward trend and a bunch of fraud? Why are these claims never backed by why cryptocurrency _itself as a whole_ is over? I'm very pro crypto and I could crank out

I am serious about my 2 mentions of downvotes which in turn will cause the 3rd. Kinda snarky but fully true. I have lightly replied to MSDNC comments w/ negative yet factually true statements related to the MSDNC and gotten downvoted.

Not exactly. Biden had to single-handedly crush #metoo in 2019 to save face so it's not a thing any more. Women are still getting sexually harassed in the workplace by powerful men, but since it became a bipartisan thing, it's no
