Ft crypto watch weekend!! Oct 9th


Crypto enlightened clan, we love you!!  It is a beautiful thing that y'all are here on the booming Publish0x!  557fd72597bcb9a59e768a833b2a8bcb2aa1b9a7632ab293f44bdde8e619c225.png What a week, weekend now on the FT!  Let's have a look for fun or at least funny crypto in the pages of the pink lady!!!

Wow the front page is funny!! look, here are the latest pics of Elon: d5e62550bb0a9e29a0db59e317bf9d081360c64134d92d4758d1072d9569a579.png OK, right?  And here, we googled the "worst pictures of Elon Musk" and we got: e656a2137970eac4451060300b90e6a88a72125f8969d57cb5b50989c36ca70c.pngare you ready?  Wait for it!! Here's the COVER of the weekend FT: eec134c7b8449571e61cc48590ffd348c6c747718690591c67813b41d5e81f41.pngCAN you say deep seated problematic  bias? Sure you can!!  OMG is that even the right picture?? The artist thinks Elon and Caitlyn were SEPARATED AT BIRTH?? bafa10f90d4be2edac0beb7b435a55b22e9ad46e464f08b659f3dc8a14305804.png

We are not sure WHAT Elon did to p-ss off the FT, might be his occasional love for crypto including Dogecoin.  The FT has an article saying Starlink crashed on the Ukranians.  The article says Starlink was paid for by the US and by "crowdsourcing."   Funny, Elon this week tweeted that he is 80 million dollars in the hole from paying for Starlink, the FT does NOT mention that.  Is that it, FT, is 80 million to the Ukraine not enough to get your portrait done without a double/triple chin?? d1ae5eb47fad424fda3a990b15829f5cb231d5e6c7fdc9f1373eb13abcf7b869.png

Oh well!  The Elon interview was at Fonda San Miguel, a deeply excellent Mexican spot in Austin.  Lucky FT!!   Not to say the reporter was biased, but this reporter  said she was convinced Tesla was gonna go bankrupt until her family "rebelled," bought a Tesla Model 3, and the reporter drove it.  What kind of jerk's family has to not just ignore but CONTRADICT her when they buy a car??? 

The editor's  bias sludges through the entire interview.  Dig after dig after slight after spin after slant after dog not allowed to bark!!!   Musk is  "not prone to modesty. Musk quit eating lunch due to a fat photo.  A judge said his tweets were "reckless."  Musk is being sued over Dogecoin, that has "predictably" crashed. 

Our reporter asks if his offer for Twitter was a "bad joke."  Wow, editor, WTF is WRONG with you?  Guess that the UK does not REALLY have that freedom of speech thingie.   She forces Elon to repeat his stance that a trusted, inclusive, transparent means of exchanging ideas is important.  To us, this is an existentially  CRITICAL statement, NOT a bad joke! No  response to Elon's ideals from the FT. 

In similar fashion,  Musk asks do we want to be a space flying, multi planet race, or NOT??  The FT is not sure.  WTF, FT, have fun dying alone then!!! 5e0361cfbe13db895b295b5762bb2582580def0df521c57b6b6c883be8e56624.png

The FT claims Musk has a dystopian view of the Left's influence on America, calling it neo-Marxism and full on communism. Biden refused Elon's entrance to the EV summit at the white house, and later said GM was leading in electric cars, the same quarter that GM shipped 26 EVs and Elon shipped 300,000.  Does that seem fair?? NO answer from the FT. 

The FT at least admits the Mex food (a religion to us) is the best they have ever had.  Probably not saying much TBF.  She was drinking light beer, Elon had a couple margs.   In the Fonda bar in Brooklyn the super strong frozen pomegranite margs were great.  But two margs were not quite enough, but three and you might  get in a fight!! 

The antagonism continues:  Does Elon think he's above the law?  That's utter nonsense, Elon replies.  No, Elon, that was utter HATE from the FT, there is a BIG difference.  Cue snide remark from the FT about the personal interest of Musk being above the law.   

Musk is accused of bullying.  He says leave the company then!! 

Maybe Musk is just arrogant, thinking he has all the answers.  Elon thinks Taiwan could work out a special admin zone plan, like HK but looser.   The FT doubts his proposal will ever be taken up. 

Elon thinks the Crimea, annexed ten years ago, should maybe stay with Russia now.  The FT brings up Zelensky tweeting which Elon is better, the one who supports Russia or the one who supports the Ukraine?    Here the FT REALLY lets down the side, not mentioning that Elon tweeted back "big fan of the Ukraine.  NOT a big fan of World War Three!!!! "    Let alone not mentioning Elon's tweet that thus far it has cost  80,000,000 dollars to give  Starlink to the Ukraine, also not mentioned anywhere ELSE in the FT. 4cb09e5cedd47350d639a7af66ae0dd5a6b569a868dc97eb8818bb60ede46a01.png

In a symbolic ending, the Tesla drives itself to the airport.  The FT editor tweaks out and puts on her seatbelt even in the back seat.  Elon might be a magician, but he could be wrong!! Oh ha ha ha.  Elon is NOT a magician, he is NOT busy creating fake narratives to fool the audience, unlike some we could think of.  Don't worry, FT, Elon and his son X's lives  are safer than yours.

Along with the smear job portrait, we gotta give the FT a couple of FU's for this biased, one sided, constant effort to score points AGAINST Elon.  WHY???? 

Are we oversensitive to the HATE??  Here's a data point. Today the FT  also takes Brit politician  Mikey Grove out to lunch so he can spit on Liz.   Here's Mikey in real life: 77cd9e68fa89952b2fb62da92f5101a584a6adc3d01438a3b04a0f1582bc9e2a.png and yet, when the FT commissions a drawing of Mikey today, here's the kid glove treatment the Brit  gets: a385ebfe76645bef217b3749df189a5dc60d1040a5268b788915666a2bf5e0ed.png in HIS FT paid for portrait, Mikey is a superhuman enlightened genius looking elfquest wonderbrother!!!   Vs back to reality:4f5e2e7a7d4250d972a5d331fc68fde68706865799a8caeaa26b64845e98cd87.png OK maybe it's just us. NOT!!  Mikey G is criticizing LIz & Kwasi, so the FT LUFFs him!!  Compare Elon's treatment with the puff picture and article about Mikey Gove.  Every customer goggles at Mikey!!  Mikey is notably better dressed than ALL THE REST!!  Oh blah blah kiss kiss, say something more nasty bout LIz, kiss kiss blah blah.  Without favour me #$($#@!! 

 

Tradfi corruption watch !!  Dear readers remember when Credit Suisse said they were NOT looking for more capital, that meant they WERE LOL!!! THAT prediction came home in the 24 hour news cycle.  NOW, it turns out Deutsche Bank maybe ALSO misplaced a few billion in capital and could ALSO go piff!!!

Crypto that SAYS crypto in the FT!  The hatchet job on the BSC Token Hub makes print.  WAHEY!!! WE GOT OUR CORRECTION!!! 3def99dc43265480794dc10d115a1ab0c7e1d800a2ddc4cadec807ef3b9df0e7.pngTLDR:  it's REALLY FUNNY, the old story we puked on yesterday is still up, so we can see ALL the corrections.  The print editors had to beat the online crew back with the lash to keep that rabid crypto hate at least a LITTLE in check, lol!!

Yesterday - the Binance BLOCKchain was hacked (sic.) Today, it was only the Token Hub, not BNB chainBig fattie correction #1, yay!!

Yesterday, it was $570 MM that was stolen.  Today, no apologies, but it is only 100mm.  Hey that's only more than 5X wrong, what's a half billion between frenemies, FT?   Why bother with that correction at all???  ar ha ha ha ha hah.  5ae86910f4dea17477c7016fb32d511d41ce81768cf404c50419f13645f20989.png

The final  FT snuck in "correction" is actually confusing

Yesterday, the FT, buried in the end of the story, said that Binance said there was only 100MM in unrecovered funds, a statement they had contradicted in the headline and lead. 

TODAY, the FT quotes Binance - there is 7MM frozen by the crypto community.    WTH??  unrecovered or still frozen??  100mm or 7mm, huh?? That's bad reporting! 

Wired mag today link below says the hackers got away with only 56mm.  SCORE!! ner ner ner ner!!!  our PREDICTION yesterday was those FT numbers would come tumbling down!! we thought it would take more than a day tho lol.   Ya still got some splaining to do there, FT fumblebuckers!!!   We will wait ROFL.... 

 

That's it for crypto in the FT print today!! Online??   NOT a drop.  And THAT's more bias RIGHT THERE!!! lol be289db06392b3fb6ddb5b34e45c7299c5fb25555f80d63ecea185b1116fddad.png

Anyway, we love y'all, cause yer NOT the FT!!  OK that's not fair, we still love the FT.  But we love y'all all lot more for being open to new enlightened ways of, dunno, going to Mars, not just spitting on ideas  while offering nothing better. 

Take care of yourselves, get great sleep when y'all do!! We need you bad!! b7e3fe96862e9ba32faf9baa2272f596eb169007150ea22e82d323cdeb70c4b2.png

Black Flag was kinda fun, but other punkers were way MORE fun even back in those caveman days.  In case yer NOT sleeping here's the 1st wave punk band the  Dead Boys live from CBGBs with a fun anthem.  Again, baddish audio, great video  but y'all know this great song!  Always thought this was sonic Producer, about really getting into loving playing your music.  Turns out the Dead Boys were from Cleveland!!! Lol !! and sonic reducer means an underground music afficiando.  

 Give us a bull market and this song  WILL be about crypto lol!! 

Peace, love

I don't need anyone
Don't need no mom and dad
Don't need no pretty face
Don't need no human race
I got some news for you
Don't even need you too I got my devil machine
Got my electronic dream
Sonic reducer
Ain't no loser
I'm a sonic reducer
Ain't no loser People out on the streets
They don't know who I am
I watch them from my dream
They all just pass me by
But I'm not just anyone
Said I'm not just anyone I got my devil machine
Got my electronic dream I'll be a pharaoh soon
Rule from some golden tomb
Things will be different then
The sun will rise from here
Then I'll be ten feet tall
And you'll be nothing at all Sonic reducer, ain't no loser

We once for some reason got on a train somewhere within 400 miles of cleveland, dressed for biz, at the same time as some girl, dressed for biz.  We looked at each other and hated each other.  We both started drinking heavily, both went to the train bathroom like in the Who video and changed into  punk rock clothes and threw stuff out the window.   Came back out and we were suddenly best pals.  Turns out she was  Stiv Bator's #1 girlfriend, she had the details, we believed her lol8f242e26c88abb5e5c2f23e4c045d44e2f6f4473d1f326252ee038330cdba3f6.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!!!
FT WATCH - the Financial Times 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!
