Gov't is and always will be way behind on keeping ahead of the next asset class to gamble on if you can call it that. But you have seen a huge creep in gambling into not every facet of life but its everywhere. You have to do something. I don't have the answers but it's out of control. My brothers 9 year old knows some of this trash from watching YouTube. Best I can do is telly brother to stay ontop of that crap.

These influences have a lot of intellectuals behind them on how to addict and sell.

Again don't know how you get a handle on it all but I think it's a fair right to be displeased with two coming out of the gate like this. Dashes any hopes.

Wish we were old school. Brick and morter go line up with all the other degens, get your printed slip after verification of Id. Those were the days.

I'm in a little tangent here but it's so bad that our marketplace which is all done via FB, everything is sold via spots now. As in okay I'll sell my skidoo and I'll sell 130 spots for 100 bucks and do a draw. Clothing, household items, everything is sold that way because you can bring in more money that way as the seller. Gambling is just everywhere.

They're all memecoins. Differentiating bitcoin because it happens to be created through encryption doesn't change that. It's not a "hard" currency* such a gold or silver or copper or platinum. It's not a government issued currency like the USD or Euro or Pesos. What it is is a collectible that people have decided they're worth paying a certain amount for. On the majority of the planet, you cannot pay for groceries or rent or utilities using bitcoin. First, you must trade your bitcoin for money. Or, you could use it to buy up all the video cards, hike up the price of those video cards 5x, then sell those, and use that money. That'd never happen though, right?

No, you're differentiating on the "First in, Best Dressed" philosophy, OR you believe that the generation method to create the coins makes them somehow better. They're just collectibles. Another meme like Pogs. Or trading cards.

*Now that a couple nations have turned bitcoin into their national currency, you could make the argument that Bitcoin, at the least, is a hard currency. I would heavily disagree. I'd argue that any "cashless" currency is not viable. All you have to do to take the entire economic system of the nation down is hit it's electric grid. Suddenly you have no currency, and can't even afford a tomato to throw at your idiot government officials.

This is not a thing. You're attempting to compare the Pelosis using the power of GOVERNMENT to change laws to turn winners into losers and losers into winners, and using the market to gain unlimited wealth off these law changes that often times DESTROY entire sectors of business.

Trump? Made a meme coin. There's no power of office or government involvement at all. The only thing suspect is the timing. Why would the timing matter? Well, if he put out the coin prior to the election, he might face quick regulation from the outgoing Congress or EO's from the outgoing Administration that magically turn him doing what thousands of other people have done into a crime. By waiting until the last minute, he REMOVED the ability of a bunch of partisan hacks to fuck with his collectible.

You're conflating very different actions, and claiming we should be outraged over the harmless one, because we've been fucked so hard by the harmful one. Pretty snakey shit, right there.

You don't know what precieved or perception is.

Wild. Wonder what his coin would have done if he was not already president elect and his wife's for that matter. Almost like power his influence and one can should take issue with politicians using their position for significant monetary gain.

You don't appear to know what reality is. It's okay though. I don't mind.

What I said is correct. You're conflating acts of government for personal gain with personal actions for personal gain.

Winning an election does not and should not remove an American's ability to make a livelihood. However, making a livelihood out of insider trading based around laws you're going to change, and the people don't KNOW you're going to change? Big problem.

Reality: Memecoins are legal, personal, and there's no government/officeholder malfeasance. Stock market trading based on upcoming law changes that only a select few in Congress know is coming? Fraud against the American people.

Stop conflating. Deal in reality. Nobody gives a shit about your false perceptions about a guy you didn't like and don't support.



His meme coin would have done great! For 10 minutes, until anti-Trumpers in the previous Congress legislated against it, or Kamala wrote out an EO outlawing it. And such legislation or EOs would instantly turn thousands of Americans who have done nothing wrong into criminals.

Until there's fraud, it's a collectible. A meme. And anyone can make them. It's Trump's FAME that makes it successful. Not his Office.

This is the biggest cope yet.

The only cope seen here is you. You weren't up in arms over FTX or the Silicon Valley Banks. It's only an issue when it's Trump.

Reminder: Trump is President. The House AND Senate are now Republican Majority. You LOST. Your pathetic "perspectives" do not match reality, and haven't for a lot of years. Precisely WHY you lost.

Your level of cope here, trying to point the finger and handwring over perfectly legal activities is just useless.

Yes I was. What's pathetic is you just make assumptions unless someone keeps a resume of what they we're pro and against in their signature. Go to the investment and finance sub and my thoughts on coins including bitcoin for that matter are there.

And lost. You fucking idiot I was pro trump since that tossed up Kamala and pro PP here in Canada.

You are an absolute moron man. You take the stance that if you're not willing to bend over and take his cock you are not in favour of him. You can express issues and I take one with this profiteering of clearly what was his power to be since he was already elected via something I had hoped to see quelled in the coming years.

Everyone loses when you lose your ability to express criticism because tribalism runs too deep.

Yeah nah autism does not excuse asshole behaviour when you are high functioning at that level, i have never thrown a nazi salute in my life, or bought a social media platform for muting me.

Maga cult are incapable of finding fault with trump, period, they will defend every action he makes right down to the multiple billion dollar scam he just pulled.
