the dead canadian exchange with the dead canadian founder was QuadrigaCX. this happened right before the panamanian "not technically a financial institution" financial institution than handled their real money transactions was targetted by the doj and a bunch of people got arrested/indicted. doj says that crypto capital was/is a front for laundering by/through crypto exchanges apparently crypto capital was the "financial institution" bitfinex used for the original shell game with tether, when they were still claiming that tether.io was a separate entity that was stepping in to cover bitfinex's shortfall after the "hack" and 30% haircut thing

Someone mentioned a story earlier about a guy who tried to peddle Bitcoin as the way of the future to a forum for sex workers? Does anyone have more info on that? It sounds familiar but I'm having a lot of trouble looking it up.

Like, what the gently caress,” Beeple recalled, recalling the day he received the money in Miami, where he flew on a booked private jet to celebrate. “I’m not remotely a crypto-purist. I was making digital art long before any of this poo poo, and if all this loving NFT stuff went away tomorrow I would still be making digital art,” he said.

Of course there are; coiners are cultists, and their dedication to their religion actually bothers me as a Christian because many times in my life I have not been as evangelical as I see them act ![]()
