what i never get is who's supposed to be the other side of those loans, and what are they borrowing the money for?

if you take out a loan with 20% apr and invest it in a ponzi scheme with 30% apr, that's basically 10% apr of free money

Those tweets are jokes responding to the original slurp juice tweet I think

Wish it was true, though. Crypto should do the kind of poo poo that notorious sonic fangame did where it installed a background process that would force quit your browser if you searched "cheat".

that scheme depended on his apparent belief that you could just demand a performance license for something and obligate disney to grant it to you. also it quickly became clear had no idea how to operate a commercial theater

the minimum price of 1.67 bsv translates to $100 realmonies

e: i still can't figure out the identity of "lab monkes" and "special forces". they seem to be subsets of astro apes but there is no indicator for them on the nft marketplace so who knows

to my untrained eye it looks like the shroom juice nfts are actually fungible (gasp!)
slurp juice(tm) comes in 6 different flavors/rarities but it looks like within a flavor there is 0 difference between different tokens and no reason to buy any but the lowest-priced one

As a naive person you might look at the crypto space and think “this is all a scam.”

But if you look into it and really sift through the specialized language and jargon, getting to understand the contextual specifics of various subcultures and the intricacies of governance structures and technical implementation, you will learn, “this is all a scam.”

In between those moments, there is enormous danger

CO2, notable for being a greenhouse gas, and methane, also a greenhouse gas 4x more potent than CO2 although it degrades faster.

this tire fire is environmentally beneficial because otherwise those tires would just be sitting in a landfill

also, since the tire fire is environmentally beneficial and we want to maximise the environmental benefit, we've started manufacturing new tires to feed into the tire fire
