Of course it was a hoax because the story was so ridiculous on its face and now Smollett needs a defense attorney[1]. Not quite as outrageous as 2017 Jewish Community Center bomb threats [2] which were also blamed on "the rise of whit

Ethereum is a 'success story', but its not 2015 anymore. I think you'd mad to take tokens as a form of compensation. Why not get a normal job and buy some crypto if you want to gamble?

I think its just white Americans with that problem, other groups seem to have an identity. Why don't white Americans seem to have a culture? I think its an interesting question, I have various ideas, but nothing compelling.
