FT crypto watch Dec 28th


Woooo hooo cryptonauts, we LOVE you!!! Thanks for being here on the uplifting Pub 0x!! It matters, o mighty watch army!! Lifting the skirts of crypto on the salmon lady, just one good click on one chitpost at a time baby!! 

Crypto's ON the front page!!  Strap up boots n saddles!!! TWICE!!!

First we get a teaser - the death of NFT's - oh ya ya ya now all NFTs are dead, inshallah 9c4463e1ec4aeaa3ed2200ee409a5357e929aaccef30cc5d1e9b9c9b8c3dcd73.pngTLDR: yeah, and the FT's analysts say NFT makers can't do anything else ever again either!!!  The REAL story:  BAYC is living rent free in the FT ed's brains, driving them NUTS!!! 

 

The OTHER front page?? yummy graph wait huh is it like GOOD news for crypto?? presented without comment, so maybe huh ah ha ha ha 114d14bd1f40d550d41326b2f45585e1e24a6985da14da0eda97d73b72a1d19b.pngTLDR Direct Foreign Investment FDI is always a fun stat to watch that looks like a bull run a-coming, though actual number of FDI projects is a very weak choice of stat that could be moved for various reasons, we want to see almost anything else - investment $$, employee head count , freakin Github stats get real FT. 

wait happy holiday thoughts!! Yeah, that's GOOD news!!!  We can TELL cuz it's not just a teaser, there IS no story!! ar ar ar!!! 

The NFT article aahhh man. mixed bag3f9a51ef6db9dfd74e8c76a0501a35dd3666d3dbdd7f2893b8a69d59ecb12704.pngTLDR: Hey, who knew, Yuga Labs promoted free reuse of BAYC copyright games, that's kinda smart, decentralized IP ah ha ha ha ha !!!! Pudgy Penguins is still up 3X, Doodles still blowing out the cash on Pharrell baby!!! GOOD TIMES breakout CROSS OVER!!! 

The REAL story:  yes numbers go down but some brands never die!!  NFTs hurt our brain as art collectibles, but as contracts and proof of ownership they will never die!!   & the boys n girls  at BAYC are pure marketing genius, maybe skirting the edge of the law but maybe not!!! The front page slash job was just the eds working out to make it all negative. 

Yes, there are bookcased anti-crypto narrative quotes prominently inserted from Claire Enders, of Enders.  The fundamental model of NFT's did not work (sic.) It was a bubble that has burst and will never happen again. (probably sic, ar ar ar)    said probably Claire.  It's hard to tell as her mom and husband work there too!!  And NONE of them or ANYONE at the firm has EVER made a statement about crypto or NFT's before!!!!  these idiots mostly study new streaming services (as if we care) and maybe some telcoms and marketing spends. Yawn sorry, 19ddb4100725989781a2a46b7c4b996aea785acca6ea82862ac450303478bf6c.pngTLDR ah ha ha pudgy penguins we did not know!!! LOVE IT!!

Tough call!! Two thank yous for NFT brands life after crypto!!!! Who knew!! But Judges can't stop us from lofting an FU over quoting Clair about the futures of NFTs.  NFTs and smart contracts are just getting started in the world, Clair, maybe y'all should dunno read some research besides how the transition for  consumer magazines are doing these days ( ah ha ha ha ha do they still exist?? WHO CARES!!!!)   Really FT, you just beclown poor Enders,  and yourselves,  here.  

Speaking of beclown, we HAVE another "ban it all" letter entry!!! d53e49e72111db63246411ae325b253bcad5bb63dba67bcd21b2cc004b51dbc6.pngTLDR:  from this kind of word use AH HA HA HA HA HA!!!   John John thinks using words like smart contracts and zero knowledge proofs on open ledger blockchains is BAADDDDD JU JU !!!  John, YOU'RE not a Doctor, surely YOU believe all this superstitious nonsense AH AH AH AH AH don't call us SHIRLEY!!!!!!  OMFG!!   Jon has no respect for privacy nor intellect.  Does Jon believe that miners around the world are all part of a three card monte scheme trying to fool joh john AH AH HA HA HA HA ar ar ar ar araOOOOOOOOOOOO oh stop plz. 

What else in print:  We get Lex taking an end of year victory lap, ok, yes sir can we have another please, we gotta take it: 402fe94c4092e40007effd5ba903d37695ce284db5af4434be2d66a40a6e5ce1.pngTLDR: OW that's gonna leave a mark! GLUED to the lino ar ar ar !!! 

How about online??  yes baby yes, that's a JUICY Mango!! 2849aeff473225e8ea06fbd30ac646e032f8786e5f777ba0a948da0b4cf603f4.pngTLDR: we all know Mango, a "hacker" jacked the market up, borrowed and withdrew.  100 million!!  but then they gave the insurance company 67 million back. 

It's funny: 49bc54952b401f0efe1c8d78b02025f603f96417efcf3707eff972fddf19eb51.pngThe "hacker" said it was all legal.  But now the Feds are saying YOU FLED !!! AND manipulated markets!!! 

 

Hark what be this??  we senseth BULL #$)(#$($)* in the air!! Let us pray not: but look at that not very subliminal anti crypto FT copypasta graphic, designed ONLY to trail down and 

off to the right like a suicide note!!! Judges agree that's ONE FU right there man!!! 645004b5677caa18ba9c27bd93fb4ee5bad9dfd6d1e884adb16eae6cdd7a941a.pngTLDR: it's not a winter, it's a melt down!! in the lawless cryptosphere!!  Will any semblance of crypto's vision of defi survive?  

The REAL story:  that's it!!! That's all they got!!! We just read it looking for the thesis, some talking points and there ARE NONE!!!  The market is down 70% because loose money paused for a bit.  Now it's FULL BLOWN CRISIS!!! 

The REAL real story:  Have a couple FU's but this article should have earned far more based on intent, very low achieving LMFAO!!! 

 Defi is fine.  Sammy Fried blowing up was GOOD for everything.   Coinbase and Binance are FINE.  This article is so lost it doesn't even TRY.   Does use our fav word cryptonauts tho ar ar ar !!  That's the FIRST TIME the FT USED that word AH HA HA HA HA feel our power mighty Watch Army!  

YESS we will drink to THAT !!! AH HA HA AR Ar R AR AOOOOOOOOOO!!!!  TAKE those W's when they POST UP MIGHTY WATCH ARMY!!! 65516cc40e7057341dea67d0283f337c88ec9870743827872975cd1467832434.pngTLDR:  The meme is the massage AH AH AH HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!   A win is a win, merry christmas and happy new year Pub 0x Watch Army!!  The FT said CRYPTONAUTS AH HA!!!  YEEEE haw!!!

National Merit got this punk rocker to Oberlin, and Wall Street fintech gave up world tours and an NYU MBA. I am a Bitcoin true believer. Bitcoin is deeply revolutionary in a way we always prayed tech would be. Keep the baby Faith!


FT WATCH - the Financial Times on Crypto!!!
FT WATCH - the Financial Times on Crypto!!!

The WSJ turned into USA today - which leaves the FT at the top of the heap for serious financial news! Join us for a semi-serious monitoring of the FUD & hate the FT now showers on crypto. Dear readers know we love that pink newspaper but boy howdy does the FT despise crypto--- it's funny. The old guard always fights the new guard. The FT does it eruditely, with misleading comments, fun graphs, and outright lies (usually) attributed to crypto's greatest enemies!
