it has finally reached my inbox

i've been good about ignoring crypto entirely for the past few years but i had to look into this. i've spent the past hour digging into the people behind this / the game itself and it is just the saddest poo poo i've ever seen. i know i shouldn't be surprised but they're promising a go-live in ten days and they still don't have a backend

it looked like the only real content on their reddit was people asking why they couldn't withdraw funds / asking why the price of certain "valuable" items were plummeting

more like Big Top Studios

because it sounds like a clown show

the GME thing has devolved into a full-on cult where they're still convinced the price will explode to infinity any day now

if nothing else, it was fun to watch as a hedge fund got wrecked and had to be bailed out, a bunch of walking corpses went on tv crying about how something needs to be done as regular people shouldn't be allowed to do this to rich people and the robin hood guy was sweating buckets while trying to make excuses for why they halted trading on it

in the end though, a bunch of naive schmoes, who are the same sort of people who get into crypto, were left holding some very big bags and fell further and further down the rabbit hole, convinced that the big payout on their dying retail chain is coming any day now

part of me wants to say its because he's in a wheelchair and the trumpist "prefer people who didnt get shot" resonated loudly with that base, so he's an easy pawn to give up

he's basically what happens when you grow up still thinking that the pageantry of professional wresting is real, except instead of wrestling it's cable news politics

the whole thing about him getting into politics because he was lured into a fake crossfit competition in russia where he met his ~~kgb~~ fsb 'wife' who pushed him into it is still one of the most :psyduck:

are dollar coins still being actively minted? the only place i remember seeing those was when buying stamps from the automated kiosk at the post office as they gave them as change instead of paper dollars, and, needless to say, i haven't done that in a very long time. half the time when i tried to pay for something with them, people mistook them for quarters

Evidence linking Satoshi Nakamoto and Elon Musk

The convergence of

Location
Ability
Linguistics
Philosophy

An IP address in Los Angeles

On Satoshi: �This is not a TOR exit node which implies that this is the IP address used by Satoshi on 2009�01�10 and he was in Van Nuys [Los Angeles] on this day.� https://whoissatoshi.wordpress.com/2016/02/20/satoshi-in-california/
On Musk: �The jet is registered to a subsidiary of SpaceX called Falcon Landing, named for its reusable rocket, Federal Aviation Administration records show� Many of the flights took off from or landed at LA�s Van Nuys airport, a short drive from the tony neighbourhood of Bel Air where Musk owns five separate mansions.� https://www.afr.com/work-and-careers/management/musks-2018-150000-miles-of-private-jet-travel-in-excruciating-year-20190130-h1an97

Code in C++

On Satoshi: �Kaminsky ticked off the skills Nakamoto would need to pull it off. �He�s a world-class programmer, with a deep understanding of the C++ programming language,� he said. �He understands economics, cryptography, and peer-to-peer networking.�� https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2011/10/10/the-crypto-currency
Musk: �In early 90s, I wrote a multitasker for PCs that spoofed the CPU & CD-ROM to act in parallel, so could read video continuously while player sprite moved smoothly. Required C++, assembly & direct flipping of CPU registers.� https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1005643673353064448

�Monolithic� code

On Satoshi: �Yeah. The original Bitcoin software was very monolithic� All of the code is in one file. The wallet stuff that is per user interacts heavily with the validation code and the consensus code. It�s gotten a lot better. We�ve cleaned it up a lot.� https://hackernoon.com/matt-corallo-on-how-bitcoin-works-25a46b547359
On Musk: �They took one look at Zip2�s code and began rewriting the vast majority of the software� big, monolithic hunks of code.� https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/9356850-they-took-one-look-at-zip2-s-code-and-began-rewriting

Time to code in 2007

Satoshi in 2008: �I believe I�ve worked through all those little details over the last year and a half while coding it, and there were a lot of them https://satoshi.nakamotoinstitute.org/emails/cryptography/15/#selection-15.0-15.10
Musk in 2007: �I spend about 2 to 3 days a month on Tesla-related business, and almost all the rest of the time is on SpaceX.� https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqoLRlpROG8&t=1233s

Satoshi: �Writing a description for this thing for general audiences is bloody hard.� https://satoshi.nakamotoinstitute.org/posts/bitcointalk/threads/79/?view=satoshi
Musk: �Bloody hell, I�m going to have to write a blog. Can�t fit this into tweets.� https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/943887056492564480

�order of magnitude�

Satoshi
�I thought it would be impractical if the block chain, bitcoin addresses, disk space and bandwidth requirements were all an order of magnitude bigger.�
�RSA can do both, but I didn�t use it because it�s an order of magnitude bigger and would have been impractical.�
�I know for competitive reasons the inclination is to keep it to yourself, but it could get an order of magnitude more use if anyone could give proxy access to their country just by putting the software on a server.�
�Setting up the buffer takes an order of magnitude longer than the actual hashing if you�re only hashing one or two blocks like we do.�
�The new efficient single-pass algorithm is orders of magnitude quicker.�
https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fsatoshi.nakamotoinstitute.org%2Fposts%2Fbitcointalk+%22order+of+magnitude%22
Musk
�Global economy of $100T is overwhelmingly fossil fuel based, so IMF estimate of $5T or 5% for carbon subsidy is def right order of magnitude�
�Wouldn�t read too much into this. Likely to be fewer F9/FH flights, but possibly an order of magnitude more than these numbers in Starship flights.�
�This engine needs to be 10X lower cost. Order of magnitude change is good reason for a new name.�
�Retrofits will start when our software is able to take meaningful advantage of the Tesla FSD computer, which is an order of magnitude more capable.�
�This is without the Tesla NN computer. Per my public comments, that will give the car an extra order of magnitude.�
https://twitter.com/search?q=from%3Aelonmusk%20order%20of%20magnitude&src=typed_query&f=top

PayPal

Luke Nosek (also a PayPal co-founder): �Many people don�t know this but the mission of PayPal was to create a global currency that was independent of interference by these corrupt cartels of banks and governments that were debasing their currencies. And we succeeded building something economically very powerful, enabled many small businesses, we�re super proud of it, but we never achieved the mission.� https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOeOzhOxeMU&t=40s
Musk in 2005: �It was a way of transferring money between one entity and another entity by specifying a unique identifier, which in this case was an email address.� 7:15 https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1151875188973577

some game where you own sheep nfts and the game code is on the blockchain, but there was a bug in the code and rewinding the blockchain wasn't going to happen, so they had to push reset and re-issue everything (which naturally hosed everything up, as expected)
