FT crypto watch January 3rd


Open ledger believers, we love you!! thanks for hooking up on the superfast Publish0x to change the fabric of crypto in the tradfi FT world, mighty Watch Army!!   The FT did not print yesterday, but they did drop online stories.  So, we continue learning all the vital critical bizness info in the world's best tradfi newspaper!!  Well, first we do that, then we correct all the stinky crypto parts.  Let's roll! 

Fiat war machine beating those DRUMS ft baby!!  72f61940832165fe125a03c16afd7bde72e4e4860a385d0549b95f4328992eb0.png

TLDR, the FT does a GREAT job of pumping that fiat war machine in a fine, hallowed, centuries old fiat war tradition!!  It was once the Roman gold aureus  and silver denari versus everybody!!  Then, it was sterling vs the pesada !! Then sterling vs the mark!! Then a really messed up rematch of sterling vs the mark that was WWII!!!  Let's all skip the fiat war machine for 2023 kids.  Instead we are printing twelve figures in fresh war machine fiat!  

OK ok crypto that SAYS crypto!! Yeah?? Can we use this house ad from the FT DISHING UP the HATE for crypto9ce5f69795cad62ada3a1041432e5bff4ebefb9ad8985309e5ecb79e33231044.pngTLDR:  The medium is the message.  Lookit that funeral black background against the icky glowing slimy melting oobleck. Not EVEN subliminal !! 356f0b977de37a2ee4ac4595b826ec0fabea9b28380657a670af8fcf64a71c7b.pngThe REAL story:  now we know!!! the FT graphix department saved ALL that time reusing the same five pictures over & over for all crypto stories!! That's because they were pouring all their hate into that black infested Oobleck radioactive ad decrying the future of crypto!! 

OK OK then.  Here's reading music dedicated to the year crypto had this year!!!  You know this!! You go girl. TLDL: crashed the car and let it burn LOVE IT !!! dear readers know often we DON'T CARE!!! 

OK moving along, we have a big end of year wrapup.  Gotta be some crypto in there!!! It's funny, since SBF nuked, the FT is trying to hang the title of crypto lead punching bag on Cathi Woods.  That's easy as she is all honey badger BTC to moon to 1MM by 2030!!! 440a3900fd072b5ff9e24dc7a79a011d5555a86b20c76ee0fe34a9965ed91eed.pngTLDR: the FT wants to slam Orlando Bravo for being pro-crypto, but Orlando  might make it, so they steer clear of the crypto  tag for him today and just make jokes about his high cost entry points!!  AH ha ha !! 

The main copypasta on Crypto: 466093b171e0977e4767cf78792dc6ffa0f644d749b357db0df7ef63bcd9ad09.pngTLDR: number go down, FTX, blah blah, attack !!!  the "sacred, fundamental, strength" of decentralization has been "undermined."   Evidence?? nah, just Binance has 60% market share and some players fell.  Have a hearty FU for barfing this agitprop.  The question will rise again in 2023!!  Only by dimwits & numbskulls.  BTC is absolutely more decentralized now than it ever has been. 

Binance could piff tomorrow and other exchanges would fill in the waters as if Binance had never existed.  And more and more real crypto protocols build on and on with real world apps.  In reality, Binance is SOLID LIKE A ROCK and the FT KNOWS IT and it completely bums them out ar ar ar !!! 

The agitprop continues!!  The FT once again denies the fact they printed earlier - Binance told the FT they had no debt!  Binance ALSO stated it in AMA's on twitter, and elsewhere.  That's an FU.  along with this crap: the stability of Binance remains a big worry.   AH HA HA lmafo!!! only as big as agitpropper hacks can pretend it is!!! 6179247336aae7ac4eac02e659cc87db497a746e6b45e34a500fa9f277a52189.png

Finally, the big surprise would be if cryptonauts learned to love Gary Gensler again.   It's very funny, stories of how deeply embedded Sammy was are still being slow-rolled out!!!  Including multiple confabs at the white house right up to D-day for FTX!!!!   

None of that here, this is not THAT kind of agitprop!!   The real story is what a tool Gary was, having SUCH  a bromance with Sammy  !!!  Writing law proposals (& probably screenplays) together!!!   Going on panels, lecturing the FIA, memories ah ha ha ha!! It's the unbearable weight of massive talent!! LMFAO2054c538b326763d2dc65f164160d4bf3726f94c617eaa24049820eb33a1124d.png

Gary was too busy  spanking a rando celebrity who actually SAID HASHTAG AD whaddya WANT!!!  Twitter has a word count limit ya know ah ah ah ah HA HA HA !!!!  Ah Gary WTH.  Ya screwed the poodle and lost all credibility when you met with Sammy and let him use ya!!!   

Moving on: 

Heres an entry from LEX: 58b59b3824e3092bab3682452728c5f43bde098b359da08c5eabbf84295837b1.pngTLDR: this is a weird one.  It's a plug for pro CBDCs.  But under the covers it's just Spunta, an Italian project that reduces back office costs by 99%.  Now, we might owe Sugarfix an apology for laughing at wall street consortiums.  To be fair, we always ran from back-office work and had to be dragged into any such project against our fears of extreme boredom.  FRONT office consortiums are more a hotbed of intrigue and doublecrossing AND sabotage!!! 

Anyway, Spunta turns out to be based on R3, the hilarious consortium project that was once blockchain but is now just another software. Spend ten million to research blockchain, then go with existing tech, this  is the Wall Street way.    Get a CONTENT FREE quote from Chas!!! AH HA HA!  
 It's funny, tho, Italy could reduce back office costs.  But they HAVEN"T DONE IT YET HAVE THEY AH HA HA HA HA HA!!! LMFAO!!! PREDICTION NOR WILL THEY ANYTIME SOON!! 
We worked R&D helping to create the FIX common fixed income standard then we sold FIX access on a Reuters spin off.  Italy did a SURPRISING amount of FIX sometimes passed Paris!! But those systems don't change BY DESIGN.   

The REAL story:  nothingburger story twisted to be pro CBDCs while the story had nothing to do with them LMFAO AR AR AR !!! 

 

OK Bigger funnies!! Online!  the Wrinklevi vs Barry mudfight sadly continues fe03b67c597064c73d199e0a4dbb9812e5bcc72ce5cebc21c97ae921d9aef5be.pngTLDR: usually the FT is not funny, but Alphaville paid OFF today, baby!!  AV printed the very best quotes from Tweedle dee AND DUM!!!   The uncanny valley of the twins wrote a NASTYGRAM to whinge at Barry, who apparently was stealing from POLICEMEN!!!  Barry had to reply !!! If only because he had made an offer on returning funds to the little old ladies and infant children !!!   After DAYS, instead of hearing back after days, it was all THIS hate mail agitprop!!! 

OK gotta MOVE!!  Here's a funny online!!!  fa128bd7d2bda12e979bc60a784b32a4a05e14ccff3c2f3fd2a9fe250f3d5cbd.pngTLDR:  All is right in the world. The Genesis block quoted the Times about Lehman London gonna get bailed.  The journo who wrote the headline?? He HATES crypto!! He's just glad he was right Lehman was getting bailed out, it was a Christmas fog time of journo year!!! ah ha!! 

Well, that's a good sign, after all, he was a vanguard of the old school.  It's even funnier, randos gave Francis BTC and laughed at him because he did not figure out his fame for years.  Even funnier - Francis once had a copy of the TIMES from that day framed but lost it.  Estimates range up to a million for a copy!!!  None for sale right now ah ha ha ha ha!!!  Someone you know STOLE that copy Franky!!! 

OK we love ya crypto kin, take care of yourselves and each other, live to fight the good fight another day!! Thanks so much for being here, it matters!!!  We are all caught up now with the financial elite that depend on the FT for their crypto news ar ar ar!!!! 

WE LOVE IT 5e7c80bafbcba4b48c9710252a7c0a06d21d981ee54bb5fa7dac2003092c06fd.png

Peace out, love

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!
