Cryptonauts we love you!! Fortune will favor y'all for joining your watch army as we sweep over the island of the pink lady!

What's up? hey coinbase AND gemini are leaving town to start perpetual future shops!!! 4178fe463de1d611bf02b997f0691d6b1cdebed54b485ed62c571eddd6f51545.png TLDR: Ah ha ha we understand!! There's a meaninless bluster quote to end the neggy article, some has been saying all companies with Merican customers face Merican jurisdiction.

This is very funny, as the truth (not in the ($# FT) is that yes, actual crime and fraud can be policed internationally. BUT, the soft hard power where the SEC issues warnings without clarity, and never gives licenses, THAT CAN be escaped by being overseas ah HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!

The copypasta ensues. Graphs are labeled with smears against Binance, we chit you not 6f61dc16cdb4dab2f291f4844f8e94e65cf0e69e7489788c67f0e9f3ee5df9c1.png

In other funnies, the FT reports a quote from Eva at Copper without mentioning how Lord Hammond's Copper had to flee the clowns of the FCA out of lil britain to survive!! Which, really, one COULD make the case that this would be an appropriate fact in an article about coin and kraken fleeing the US AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAH ar ar ar 0000

the FT loves a scary graph. This is VERY FUNNY, the FT used to CHEERLEAD for USDC Circle, DROOLING when USDC helped censor Tornado adjacent wallets!!

This marked the beginning of the end for USDC, followed by the unfortunate Operation Chokepoint 2.0 on their bank, resulting in

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!
