FT Crypto Watch Dec 30


Cryptonauts we love you!!  Let us all kiss 2022 a darling good bye, taking care of each other here on the perpetual Pub 0x!! 

Today in the ever lovin crypto fabric of the FT, hunting for the FUNNY chitposts to get y'alls sweet, sweet clicks!!  Thanking you Watch Army, you know who you are & we love ya for it!!!  Thanks to looking for y'all we found this GEM from NoFx for reading music!!!  TLDL:  Santa con has come n gone, Christmas is over but we celebrate !

crypto that won't say crypto:c1cf7455303c4b4c3d5d361099223f342ae121f0e76ea0d6cde2eb1277fb0dd2.pngTLDR:  central banks are running for the hills of gold!! hmmm is fiat scared?  The real story: nah, China is trying to launch the petroyuan, Russia is OPERATING the to the MOON PetroRuble!!! 

Here's a funnyf06ee26113c6db4cc1d39f7fb028214bd45a0df540ef5576d364e9c871a45a6e.pngThe sustainable consulting market just hit 42 billion.  But douche n toilette are gonna save 75 grand by turning the heat down!!  The world could have supplied energy in many inexpensive ways that help poor people live much better.  Instead we get a twofer - cheap bastids virture signalling ar ar ar ar ar !!! 

The FT printed the article on OpenSea we laughed at yesterday;  Today, to add insult, rather than print the good looking face of OpenSea we get some rando pokemon NFT like article LMAO91042ef14e130d9ba5972c2e34a151847a2211e2f8b11c3162bd88ba37280b10.png

TLDR:  Finzer was too good looking for the FT's anti-crypto narrative!!!  AH ha ha HA HA HA!! 

Online, what do we get:  Straight up spin for death to blockchain, inshallah, from the FT's anti-crypto narrative sausage factory, STUFFED with copypasta!! 1ea07d7ceb68ffbb4b03ecfed3d603cf61985743342577c2c3b3caa1cabaf9be.pngTLDR:  the ASE dropped 170mm on a scrapped blockchain project.  The B3I consortium to use blockchain for insurance claims shut down.  We.trade, a consortium of D bank UBS HSBC Santander Soc Gen et al shut down their trade finance blockchain. Maersk and IBM shut down their shipping blockchain. Blah blah blah, numbers go down and FTX. 

Buried in the tenth paragraph, JPmorgan is RIGHT NOW cranking a billion dollars a DAY with Onyx, which links crypto and currencies and bonds. 

Goldman Santander and Soc Gen launched the SECOND digital bond for the EIB, the euro investment bank!! 

Back to the negative spin - tamed blockchains don't support mining!!   a link off to an abysmal letter from last summer, crypto bad and please ban it.  Integration with existing systems supposedly negates the importance & meaning of new crypto systems, AH HA HA HA HA tell us another!!   Oh ya, copy pasta - proof of work is bad. Exchange BX Swiss did a blockchain trade!! but they will need a license to proceed.   NOT in the FT:  fa0d0f2490df8c83a27275eca3fc82e4bd0e5c5ab66a62177c9263cd5ce0be69.pngTLDR: when institutional investor thinks yer alive, YER ALIVE LMAO!! 

The REAL story:  EVERY freaking time crypto gains ten yards, the FT prints a lead in "DESPITE" the death of crypto, yada yada.  Wall Street consortiums ALWAYS fail!  We have watched our bosses join them to MAKE them fail!!!  None of the brain trust works there past the first days, no-one shares anything good on wall street!!! 

 HEY HEY FT HOWCUM YOU FORGOT TO PRINT THAT R3, the supposed blockchain consortium ( JOKE)  failed!!! Ya can get another content free quote from Chas!!!  AH ha ha ha ar ar ar arOOOOO!!!! 

Seriously, have some FUs, pals.  The ASE dropped 168 million on a failed exchange software project.  That's NOT EVEN a fart in the wind & Y"ALL KNOW IT!! Especially for an effed up quasi public / private monopoly like the ASE. Ar ar ar !!!   ROOKIE numbers, gotta get em UP to impress anyone in the public sector!! 

Many say the London Stock Exchange DIED the day they started the Taurus project.  Taurus was supposed to cost 75MM, when they wrote it off it was at 800MM in today's money and CLIMBING.    The NIH and the US military routinely drop over a BILLION per failed software project.  170MM? who cares??  Some lying software companies got paid!!!  Good for them!!  Means NOTHING for crypto!!  Pure noise!!!! 

Judges only allow two out of five FU's for this effort.  We start to argue, but realize we could be on the side of the baddies of Santacon around about now and settle for two. The EIB cranking the digital bonds with GS & the gang is pretty modern!!!  And more important than IT power politic losses at the sub optimal ASE!!!! 

Man gotta hop peace out!! Love!!  Oh ya death of crypto FT ah HA HA HA. NOT in the FT: fffd3db9936d9a6d6f864b1238d654dd0c88b858edca2f5451fbed0cca9ede58.pngTLDR: inshallah, haibibi, the crypto hating fanatics of the FT will carry on!!  

but not with us for the rest of the day yeeee haw!!  Its Friday in the holidays!!! 

OK this is funny could do this all day !! the death of bitcoin ah ha ha we WILL do this all day c6228cf468a8a72fbd4fec10f9f9e504dd9eea12d0edb73a295a48a5281f676c.pngTLDR: remember when someone got ya all impressed about Nostradamus, so then ya went and read original tweets from him & it was all " when the gilded bird tries to fly the princes from over the water will grab her ass." what ever.  That predicted ESG subsidies in the late 2022.  Ya know?? That was AWESOME!!  Nostradamus is FUNNY!!! and means whatever ya want him to mean!! always did.  2409e04a118c4831046316b59cc39b92f1919c95eee6bf2428dc419bca44b089.png

Give up the love for the usually more inaccessible NoFX: 

It's funny how some fables became historic
When the authors clearly wrote them to be metaphoric
But people will believe anything if it's written
Especially in stone or ancient scroll
December 25th has been blacklisted
Since Dawkins found the proof Jesus never existed
It was the last thing anyone ever expected
Xmas has been X'd
No colored lights, no shopping sprees
No more presents under dead trees
St Nick is dead but we don't grieve
We celebrate the last Christmas Eve Jesuits are slowly turning Dianetic
Protestants increasingly become agnostic
Pentecostal churches are hanging pentagrams
Priests and Nuns are molesting each other
Methodists and Baptists are claiming Buddhist
Evangelicals surprisingly are Nudist
But mostly everyone is trying to become Jew
'Cause Easter's canceled too
No more egg hunts, no Sunday mass
Fridays are fair, Wednesdays don't ash
They canceled lent and slowed down fast
Enjoy Christmas 'cause it's your last
No shopping sprees (Don't worry son)
No more presents (We don't need Christ) under dead trees (We got eight nights)
St Nick is dead (We got mitzvah) but we don't grieve (There all canceled)
We celebrate (Our Hanukah) the last Christmas eve

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!
