Blockchain believers, we love you!! As does the world!! & we love the Pub0x and the algo, BUT not enough to stop writing the Watch!!

Today's foray into the tradfi pink lady! Tradfi corruption funnies - hey some times ya need a fall guy. A scapegoat!! Here's one: busted by his text messages and oddly timed payments from Epstein to girls he liked: 648a88004634ffed414eb9377dd762a1f1112cc1ebf598c9894692fbfdcd0346.png TLDR: huge crimes with pimps, girl pimps, and now fences in jail - but somehow not a single client!!! ar ar ar !! Here's some reading music for Jes and for SAMMY!!

Crypto that SAYS crypto ?? e354005753d75a169cb5a08d2a8711e39c683dd0ce15151eb078413d43535897.png how bout yer big bad Ripple full page color ad in the FT grab us baby!! yes baby YES!!

Crypto not allowed to say crypto??!!! What's missing from this story / picture? c77bd7d3e46548ea6316407dcff8af74c137a40da7ac8d2ad4b21d49f7d42c6f.png TLDR: the FT doesn't really say it, but as you would expect from a chronically hyperinflating south american fiat, Bolivians have been reaching for crypto over & over!! & getting slapped down by some of the worst bans anywhere. Now the economy is going into late stage collapse. Pretty sure the people would have rather had BTC than to watch the country convulse under the antics of the central bank. 9d67286463b5703f7266ad08de1a0b8f06ea2f5cb1a83414bacca1fff39148b2.png TLDR - if the FT had a heart, they would mention the laws banning btc in 2020 and 2022. 0382b4232b1a665e18d3813ba95a580c6d531e570f8e9d755c42109faf4edc3d.png Talk about your use case!! If the people had coinbase they could exit stage left!! WHAT an unreported story!! bad times and draconian bitcoin ban ARE SO OBVIOUSLY RELATED!!! @#(@!#@!(#&@!(*#&!!!!!

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!
