By Dave Sawyer | FT WATCH - the Financial Times on Crypto!!! | 14 Jan 2023

Cryptonauts!!! We love you!! WINTER IS OVER!!! Let us sing & dance on the Pub0x!!!

Counterpoint to the FT anti-crypto narrative, one click at a TIME baby!!

There is only ONE crypto news that matters today, FRONT PAGE on the FT: 7fb358506a8f2f74593924d29fe642015e242daae9c80b6b63601617d2a57723.png TLDR: BTC over 19K, ETH over 1400!!

Yeaaaaaaah baby!! Reading music courtesy of BTC: TLDR: that's better, let's RIDE Watch Army!!

Ah ha ha, the FT does NOT like it like that!! Absolutely NO new online crypto, WTF? In print is an article, is it time for flying cars: ?? ca36827336cb56dce456690467622f5f12daddf0a0c9cb2f7b2474248e1bff6c.png Wow, could the world's greatest financial newspaper be any MORE out of touch?? Answer: YES!! See below ar ar ar ar ooo000!!!!

Here's thousand yard stare Katie - going DOWN several notches in our esteemed opinion: ed4fd606f8f829671631d4e28e4ad4be701208f2e53e1bf552ed7e933a5086aa.png TLDR: Katie y'all have done enough math in your fixed income life that you should appreciate the triumph of distributed open ledger. And let's face it, anyone who does not think there is value in getting money out of a war torn country with fiat collapsing under a dictator's control is just a mean spirited $(#@$*&#@$(*#$ (first world) SNOB.

Now, we KNOW fixed income Brit traders ARE classist elitist w-nkers. We once had to leave a London trading floor near Buckingham Palace quickly before we punched out an $@($#&$ long bond trader. He took joy in telling us "Gentlemen do not use spreadsheets" when we gave him a real time spreadsheet fed by screen scraping page based data. Once the insult sunk in, the red mist started closing in as well!!!

We reckon quants and his bad karma ate his lunch soon enough, his whole world was just a sandbox for our NYC / silicon valley wall street tech anyway. 255c7aec31aa946354bf90ee176f8957a782cebef948dd91592636bb86565cd6.png

But we are disappointed in you here, Long View, you are better than that, don't listen to your peers so much!! You know ##@$(*& well FTX collapsed just like MF Global collapsed!! It never goes well when you steal client funds to Texas hedge bad bets!!! A rare statement, but have an FU, maybe two, Long View!! Ar ar ar we are a poet but we don't know it but our feet show it they are longfellows.

Really, NO online crypto? Nope we checked!!!

Got plenty of crypto news won't say crypto - war machine drum beating tho!!! The UK has been trying to dish out their Challenger tank, built by Vicker 20 years ago. But everyone knows it's lame and almost no-one operates it nor has spares. & ALL the defense industry, let alone the tankies, want to see how a modern day Panzer does against live targets!!!! It's horrible ed1303a863bb5d8ce477750505e8a5b9f7a054fac3ca5059277668866f5f3079.png

Other crypto won't say crypto: cbffc22dc95765f4c6aa732cac521db8a20c17d70157346437a013e855c03f57.png TLDR: deja vu, this time it's Sri Lanka who already owes 50 billion, to get a freshly printed three MOAR billion to lay off some Army dudes. Yea, THIS time they will, really, double pinky finger swear!!! What could go wrong. Nothing if you TOUCH that money pouring in !!! Nothing good for those who are NOT Cantillon positioned.

OK here's crypto talks about crypto?? It's the FT annual contest!!! LOOKIT this spin!! a616e4775ee29c68092301c5303dfc3869128e046d639867ee29dfb542feaaed.png TLDR: The truth: the one and only WINNER did not touch crypto AT ALL. He went ONLY LONG in energy and shipping. But THAT doesn't fit the FT headline anti-crypto narrative!!!

So the FT puffs up all the runner ups, some of who shorted mining stocks. Dear readers know MINING STOCKS ARE NOT CRYPTO!!! They are just cloud computing services. That's it!! Poorly run ones in the case of Stronghold Digital Mining, ar ar ar !!!

Have an FU, FT!! Nobody shorted crypto. Yeah, COIN and GBTC had crappy years, but none of the top five shorted them. Spin spin spin you twits!! But QUIT LYING!!! Plus, COIN is up 50% YTD and GBTC is up 40% YTD say it SING IT #$(*#$#&* YOU YAAAAA BABY WE LIKE IT LIKE DAT!!!!! 9238f2a248a1f33c82e6a4842ec61a3f1114aa20d9f1473b4db1838b53038215.png TLDL: yyyyeeeeeeaaaaaAAAAAAAAH baby

That's IT in the FT Weekend for crypto!! HOW could that BE!!!??? Bias, thy name is FT!!! Flying cars NO, Crypto SI!!!! AH ha ha ha HA HA HA! Wassa matter, FT, crypto spring CAT got yer TONGUE??!!?? Just commence your feet to skate
Pick up your arms and make 'em shake

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!!!

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!
