I have this image of certain posters kitted out in full Problematic Police SWAT gear, laptops ready in a loitering SUV, doing searches for the word "trans" every five minutes.
Transphobia isn't just "problematic", it's harmful, sometimes even dangerous or deadly if the wrong person reads it at the wrong time. Trans folks complete suicide at way higher rates than the average person, and a huge part of the reason for that is because of all the ignorance, hatred, fear, and bile spewed at them on a daily basis.

And as for you, graph. In response to derek's horrible transphobic post, you wrote this:

I appreciate your explanation in the thread but I'm still going to give you a day timeout to think. Read the replies too. Be well, goon. User loses posting privileges for 1 day.
You "appreciate their explanation" and wish them well? That's your response to transphobia? You didn't even note the transphobia on their rap sheet!

Pretty weak and disgusting poo poo, graph. No wonder trans folks don't want to post on SA.

I orphaned his children. I widowed his wife.

did you guys know that Fleetwood Mac actually invented buttcoin in their 1977 classic the chain?

[Verse 1]
Listen to the wind blow
Watch the sun rise
Run in the shadows
drat your love, drat your lies

[Chorus]
And if you don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying
You would never break the chain (Never break the chain)
And if you don't love me now (You don't love me now)
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying (Still hear you saying)
You would never break the chain (Never break the chain)

[Verse 2]
Listen to the wind blow
Down comes the night
Run in the shadows
drat your love, drat your lies
Break the silence
drat the dark, drat the light

[Chorus]
And if you don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying
You would never break the chain (Never break the chain)
And if you don't love me now (You don't love me now)
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying (Still hear you saying)
You would never break the chain (Never break the chain)
And if you don't love me now (You don't love me now)
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying (Still hear you saying)
You would never break the chain (Never break the chain)

[Guitar & Bass Solo]

[Outro]
(Chain, keep us together) Run in the shadow
(Chain, keep us together) Runnin' in the shadow
(Chain, keep us together) Runnin' in the shadow
(Chain, keep us together) Run in the shadow
(Chain, keep us together) Run in the shadow

I think the whales have woken up to the fact the tether printer hasn't gone brrrrr during the past dips under $30k. Nothing since the 19th.

Is there any chance that the fed has been buying the debt these companies have been issuing to purchase bitcoin as part of it's economic relief efforts?

if tether was found to be worthless tomorrow then bitcoin's value denominated in tether would skyrocket, yes... that's exactly what happened at Mt Gox

its value denominated in USD on the other hand...

also, altcoins are "literally printed from thin air" as though that doesn't apply equally to bitscoin

I didn't realize how much of the "institutional money" was borrowed. The more I start seriously reading coin desk the more articles I spot where companies have issued large debt (relative to any of their possible assets) that was used to purchase crypto.It makes me remember articles like these:

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/08/10/the-fed-bought-more-blue-chip-and-junk-bonds-and-has-started-making-main-street-loans.html

https://timevalueofbtc.medium.com/worlds-collide-bond-issuance-and-bitcoin-buying-cbb85b9bb091

Are people buying and repackaging this debt with the central banks as the bagholder?

The US is already in a recession by every metric other than the stock market. The federal reserve bought an unbelievable amount of junk debt to prevent a 2007 style general credit lockup, and they've continued buying it so companies can issue debt to stay afloat. Except they've been trying to avoid buying junk debt directly and instead have been purchasing ETFs that bundle junk debt.

someone once let butt and coin come together by dropping a screwdriver onto their backspace key

they asked the blockchain to confirm that they were already dead and died before the transaction went through
