FT Crypto Watch December 8th


Cryptocoin lovers, we love YOU!!! Yes baby yes, crypto winter IS OVAH here on the stomping, earth shuddering Publish0x.   Smell it, feel it!!! 

Thanks for gathering to advance humanity by jacking the crypto positive overton window WIDE open here, one click on just one chitpost at at TIME as we change the fabric of crypto in the FT.  First we raise the ARMY, THEN we storm the paradigms!!! Not in the FT; Hey, it's santa con today in NYC just sayin ed2f5fe1097a1dbf84f8ea9479a84c0ce8e70935a5f23e19662caacd6deea78c.pngreading music:

Today in the fabu pink lady!! 

Jem's story on how Sammy feels embarrassed looks even better in salmon.  We discuss the exact ethos of shame vs embarrassment!  That's great when do ya ever DO that!! Jem sifts thru all Sammy's words like a research paper to support her thesis, she talks to the guys who wrote the books on shame,  it POPS today here: 9ce23cf8eb5e4b21c359beddc5d1292a12af26a5c45fbadc2c8b7df75b51abfd.pngTLDR:  sammy, the dog, FEELS NO SHAME!! He even SAID it's not so black and white !!  unlike Nishad who is ashamed!!! Oh man, Sammy, in a better world you would have been in downtown Manhattan by now in a holding cell.  But that's not the regs in the ISLANDS BABY!!! 

Well, we have a story here, it's crypto that dare not speak it's name.  Cuz the FT keeps it locked in the basement!! Check this: 2ce2dbfb57effe96bed89ba9410c284df38cebe4102eeacb859914884f0662eb.pngTLDR: an article about hard times for Euroland startups.  Quotes three success stories - Revolut, Candy Crush devs KING, and good ol Spotify.   Otherwise, there were 100 unicorns LAST year, only 30 this year oh noes not many unicorns left in the north forty Hoss 349c04ad7516ddb8d3f6c2e838c8c4add0884044c104c5334f4cc29ba72a5068.png IN fact, 400 BILLION in market cap was dumped in Euro tech companies.   But there's still 80 billion piling in this year, and another eighty billion sitting around in dry powder. 

The REAL story:  The harsh reality is EU policies are crashing all the great companies out of the EU.  Fifty-sixty  years ago a third of the great public companies were Euro, now maybe 10%, rest gone Merican or Asian,  THAT's a trend!! For whatever reason - overregulation, heavy tax loads, moral risk as the lo spread plays away the fiat future.  This bump is just one more as the dead cat rolls downhill, ar ar ar ar arooooOOOOOO!!! 

But we digress.  The story here is the dog that cannot bark, cuz the FT took out its vocal chords.  Who are the survivors?? Oh ya Revolut, King and Spotify.  NOT in the FT NEVER In the $($&#@$( FT -

Revolut was almost destroyed by the FCA withholding bank status because crypto, but they WON and NOW OFFER CRYPTO BANK DISRUPTION!!!   SAY IT FT SAY IT. $#(#$ YOU FT!! 

The candy crush dev team has fled to startup pnkfrg! pnkfrg    just raised millions to dev games on the blockchain with bitcoin and litecoin.   

Spotify?  they don't just play with crypto, they have a deal where a Spotify rebate can be paid in CRO.   CRO!!!! fer (&$#Q(* sake mind you!!! 

Judges are not happy but we gotta lob some FU dust towards this article.  Skipping Cro & Spotify, we will give up pnkfrg reporting, but we are backed against the wall standing firm behind / over  Revolut.  Revolut offering crypto has been a MASSIVELY important feature, and factor in their development.  Have an FU, seemingly crypto unrelated article, sorry not sorry bout that. 

The Taylor Swift FTX non-tieup makes print.  The pic looks even MORE gratuitous today, but Taylor's fingernails do look niceb1ed213297ae07d190ef90d50682d619e02cffe9702c8d7a097982961a714a7a.pngso, y'know, for reporting, we haveta print it again, sammy!! Of all the gin joints in the world 

And THAT's IT - NO online crypto articles today!!! We think maybe the UK pushing pro-crypto regs  broke the heart of the FT anti-crypto propaganda wing.  Well, for a day or so.    Even Santa con kinda misses a year sometimes.  Sometimes from Bad Santa backlash, we ourselves have spent time whinging at "no santacon" bars while wearing the hat.   Sometimes from NYC pandemics, but at the end of the year, it's Santa time!! f4af27afc12459d8877b5a51c8f1cc98d78103e7df222e61d893b4e20cc037a9.pngTBF, Bloomberg finally kinda killed the anarchy that was the east side St Paddy's day parade.  He slowly got the licenses away from loads of third avenue pubs that really did not give a #$@*&$#($. it's been a long time since we saw full bands march in & out of full nice wooden bars,  longer still since we saw formal uniformed cops and firefighters urinating on the street  and fighting with each OTHER of third avenue & 30th. So, y'know, flash mob it, santas!! do they still have the new carols with the new password protection each year, ho ho ho!!!  We remember laughing with some angels we have heard are high Santas, way downtown,  so lit they were stripping down to shorts in the SNOW, and it was ONLY TEN AM.  

Crypto winter is OVAH, ciphercoin market cap is about to break 900 billion to the UPSIDE!!!  & we are FREE!  FREE TO FIND FUNNIES AND DUST IN SUGAR'S WALLET AH ha! 

See y'all in a minute, love you, thanks for being here, it makes a big difference!!! 

Peace our

Love

Dave

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!
