FT Crypto watch Sept 21


Crypto currency people, we love you.  And we love every precious second of this Indian summer, what a joy to be alive here on the n-dimensional Publish0x.  We treasure every time the algo puts us through, baby!! 

Sticking with the mindless late late summer and early stupid rock memes, here's to making motorcycle noises on whatever instrument is handyTL,DL. Sammy's first song.    Sounds a lot better than the live video looks ( puffy hair AND pants!! ) but don't worry, the album cover shots are plenty cheezy. 

Crypto in the print UK FT, with love, on four, with feeling this time!! 

Tradfi hijinks watch - Morgan Stanley fined 35 mm for junking disks filled with client info.  The auditor is quitting metal giant Gupta, rarely a GOOD sign.  EU Asylum office fires harasser, hires a new lady, three years later now trying to fire her for nepotism &  lying. fba98d7221ca99b6f4ee649964a90990a5f1934f7116141f7a23ebfd66eb8269.png

Fed watch- the UK is gonna cut taxes, pay caps on energy costs, and raise rates all at the same time, yippie kai yay!! Good luck Kwasi!! Your hearts in the right place.  Say goodbye to negative interest rates,  the last EU player, the Swiss, are out.  Only Japan still has those mind twisting contraptions in the face of inflation.  Central bankers everywhere are slapping them levers!! 3ea109d66496502a5025ff37a7e6ef48901f446867e25ac630b71492aea06ee9.png

Meanwhile, the climate industry thinks a climate investment of one trillion would be about right.  

Crypto that says crypto:  the Nasdaq enters the crypto arena story hits print.  No pics at all, but our fave quote gets a subhead. Go thru big dawg Ira  / Nasdaq!!  3330976baa28c02fe297c89d926e294142815dd3af441d07d444fd20e1edcfb1.pngTLDR:  it's funny, the  Nasdaq security lady Valerie's quote got clipped by the FT print, we didn't need to hear her flogging? Why not it was vaguely pro crypto.  The article still manages to start with a dig at the crypto crash and end with a dig at crypto crime, that's more important than Val? OK. 

In print, this story looks better, more balanced.   Maybe we are too sensitive to the anti-crypto bias we think we see.  We're sorry, we'll take back some FU's.  a674d8af5f760587ff323cda02d02cb9e8203bf22602d1cc93eea159dd9a1bb8.pngWrite some more oh FT plz now!! 

Cause that's all the crypto in the FT today, online and print, & we're still hungry for fun fun crypto news!!

There's LOADS of it out there and IT'S FUNNY!!   

Dear readers remember Warren Buffett is a memestonker now - well now his recent filings, link below, show Warren investing in NU, which launched NU Crypto, as well as in Activision, which is pumping NFTs.   Warren is indirectly investing in rat poison squared baby, the times they are a changing!!  

On the other hand, the FT's gaming dude is ranting on about twenty year old games being played as e=sports in ancient ruined castles.  How symbolic of the FT's monomaniacal desire to avoid any good crypto news, just sayin. 44542f163cf4cc24e646eff56453b258bff3f9ea8d153d97467d8dd5bfe86802.png

Tomorrow's another day, cryptonauts.  Sleep well whenever you do, we love you. 

And we love the FT gamer columnist as well.  Age of Empires II is in fact a timeless classic, that struck the right balance.  Where is our Jaguar with the white stripe & the good machine guns from the cheat code baby??? 

Peace, 

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!
