FT Crypto Watch March 15th


Cryptonauts we love ya!! & what a fun time to be alive in the great crypto upheaval of the 2020's!!  Thanks again for over 1000 views on jokes yesterday !!! But, sorry, we are STILL gonna stay on the Watch!!  

In the tradfi wonderland of the pink lady, what crypto news today oh mighty watch Army? 

Let's check in on the inspiration for D'oh Kwon & the Kyle & Su show!!  Tradfi corruption funnies in SIZE, baby!!

TLDR:  so far so good for Jan from Wirecard!! Not looking so good for party iron man James tho...

First they laugh at us, then they fight us, then we win!!  It's funny, the Watch Army made the FT print crypto orices even on Mondays.  Then, on days when the FT censored ALL crypto news, only the prices showed up in a search for crypto!!  THEN, the FT cleverly stopped THAT search from working.  So, searching for crypto in the FT today does NOT show THIS eye-watering pop for BTC: 80b7c4a087271e7aa3552af94c98a65e87796a3d903a19798e50118815aa019c.pngTLDR: but BTC's  almost 7% in a DAY pop IS still on the front page ar ar ar !!   yep it's time for corny reading music!! Pick one!! do ya like horns?? We LOVE horns !! lotta dashikis but that's OK TLDR: tho Maynard needs a deeper mouthpiece but the Korgs and low brass are AWESOME!! OR, do ya like shmaltz??  Cliches are kinda satisfying, ya knowTLDR: yeah!  Bitcoin against the suppression baby! 

AND bitcoin against the fiat war machine rah rah crap!!   OK back to tradfi wonder wonder why land

e3d38efee5fd71251cbc7935afac40c7ddf6b24a85f1cae22be429a5b16c3ce2.pngTLDR: funny world we live in, people b-tching about Germany JUST NOT ARMING UP fast enuff!!! What could go wrong?  YET again?? 

finally  tradfi looks at crypto time!!   Here's a recurring fantasy in the FT -focus on  trivial tweaks to banks sending payments to crypto exchanges, as if that might be meaningful in any way !!81280ef7ee2722723e1dbeb93a5d7304d97ced5498870d7287e7aa45cfda9c6d.pngTLDR: Nat West will only alllow 1K per month to go to a crypto exchange.  Paysafe will wind down working with Binance. Rehash some credit card companies won't let ya buy crypto, rehash Binance stopped US dollar payments amounting to  less than 0.01% blah blah blah, fluff & try to pump up this nothingburger.  Domino's are falling!! It's a coordinated crackdown!   actually, more will move offshore (the Brits LOVE that chit) and the world goes on turning crypto!! x

The REAL story: ahh, good old Gnat West!! What's the time honored joke there ?  oh yes here's the latest version - some things never change

60b7a395e2bf2597a8e1c00e8be63cd54a35c0342dc17d074de958fc98f4bd61.pngTLDR the old jokes are the best jokes!   we thought Binance was banned in the UK anyway, that's why they all went offshore with Sammy & FTX !! ar ar ar ar arooo000000!!!

& THAT"S ALL online and in print??? that's funny!   Crypto's at 1.11 trilly today!!! seems worth a mention.  But instead, our boy Ganesh sums it all up for us!! The FCA killing the city, pretending thumb twiddling is important while crypto eats the world- tell it like it is...... 6fdab56524f7b83f1170179f4f863b762c259a777cfc701bcaae1d2cc2cc1ac7.png

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!
