Things are heating up as the FTX trial looms, various crypto companies try to outmaneuver the SEC in court, and mainstream media crypto boosterism enjoys an unexpected revival.
Hell we were playing "Lemonade Stand" on the Apple ][ decades ago to develop our financial literacy. (I learned to just wait for road work day, when you made a fuckin windfall.)
The hype surrounding Bitcoin these days is astonishing. I guess the purpose of predicting that Bitcoin will go to a million dollars is to convince "hodlers" that even if the prediction is off by 90% they should just go out and buy some more.
But of course if Bitcoin actually goes to a million dollars they should understand that a cup of coffee will cost them $200,000.
Moral: don't throw away your hundred trillion dollar note. Zimbabwe will rise again!
It's almost as if Coinbase expects the appellate court to be more lenient towards Tornado Cash, following the old Roy Cohn adage: I don't want to know what the law is, I want to know who the judge is.
Congrats on the 1,000 subscriber milestone. Whatever you do next, I hope it includes crypto coverage! What is up with NYT on crypto coverage. So weird that it’s editors have such a blind spot. Maybe it’s because the Times is so intent on being hip and it figures crypto is hip even if it’s a huge grift? Really mystifies me. Any theories?

1) I am glad to be part of that first 1,000 paid subs. Yay!
2) I just spit coffee on reading the Gitcoin bulleted list. Bravo, Ms. White, bravo!
I am glad to see Kenya is asking questions about the very questionable Worldcoin.

Woohoo! The comments are THE cool place to be!
Anyway, what I really wanted to say is that the one kid's college admission consultant is absolutely killing it. Next up is a ghostwritten book.
Congratulations, so 1k today, next target 5k?
Keep the uniquely informative journalistic reporting,
Seriously there should be a lot more than 1k who literally “need” your commentary.
