Your comment reminds me of a Bill Murray quote: > I always want to say to people who want to be rich and famous: 'try being rich first'. See if that doesn't cover most of it. There's not much downside to being rich, o

The key question for me now is: once you subtract all the plainly unethical transfers, securities-laws-runarounds, pump and dumps, and wash trading, how much of a business is left? Secondarily, is that ‘total remaining market cap’ larger o
