Loads of shops accepting bitcoin, pretty much all of the mid/up-market ones in the North did. Not sure how many folk actually use the facility though.

Northern Cyprus is gangster central so it's obviously a handy way to move dirty money.

Algorithmic trading guru @gaz5 hasn’t been spotted on this forum since the Scottish cup final back when bitcoin was $30K

I was disappointed by Hearts performance as well but I got over it

Jesus Christ; if it wasn’t bad enough that FTX filed for bankruptcy, their entire exchange/site/back-end has been hacked and through the night every single penny/coin has been ransacked. Complete con job. [emoji23]

Good thing to invest in, though.

Hackers wallet is here:

https://etherscan.io/address/0x59abf3837fa962d6853b4cc0a19513aa031fd32b

Hundreds of millions worth of ETH. [emoji23]

Also not to go all Detournment but there’s a lot of talk about this somehow being connected to Epstein (yes, “faked his death” pish).

I’ve been awake since 6 just watching/catching up on all of this, what a fucking calamity crypto (and finance at large) is just now.

The weird looking kid that stole all the money being the Democrats 2nd biggest donor after Soros is pretty funny.

I knew you’d go in on the supposed Soros connection; you can’t help yourself. [emoji23]

His CEO Ryan Salame simultaneously chucking comparable amounts at the Republicans makes it funnier

He is the Dems top funder.

I think he's a pretty boring oligarch tbh. There is far more interesting shit going on here.

If his name’s pronounced like the meat and not ‘sah-laym’ that straddles him back into haha as well tho.

This is from an article a guy I follow wrote about Theranos. FTX seems to be the same sort of thing, a huge scam set up move billions from small investors into the pockets of wealthy insiders and other places where they feel the money would be well spent (such as relection campaigns or the WEF).

Enron (where Holmes’ dad was a VP) wasn’t a ponzi scheme, and it wasn’t a failure. Enron was a vehicle that leveraged law, financial speculation and energy infrastructure to turn working-class equity, in the form of pensions and infrastructure, into speculative liquidity. It fully succeeded in its mission. Enron didn’t “lose” $65 billion dollars in its bankruptcy. That wealth wasn’t destroyed. It was stolen, from workers in California and India and elsewhere, and laundered via the trading floor to members of the ruling class who were in on the scheme.

One controlled demolition after another and we’re asking over and over why does our stuff keep getting blown up.

The weird sex stuff with FTX is a bit like a smaller version of the NXIVM sex cult and it does look like a lot of idiot 20 somethings have been set up to take the fall for this and no one will ever question where the money ended up.

Bankman-Fried being closely connected to Stanford University isn't much of a shock either. They are always up to some weird shit there.

ET's personal rooms come in a variety of unique shapes and sizes and range from singles to quads. Thetans can often be found tooling in the living room or punting in the Pit (a rec room in the basement, which contains a critical mass of board and video games as well as a big projector screen).

Personal rooms don't have beds (although some rooms have couches, futons, or beanbags). Instead, Thetans sleep in a series of bunkbeds on the top floor (known as "the Dorm"). Everyone has their own bed in the Dorm, which is kept dark and quiet at all times.

There's nothing weird about this at all.

I might regret asking this but have  you got Stanford and MIT confused?

No Stanford is where his parents work and MIT is where he went to college and lived in that cult-y dorm house.

Hi, I'm still a believer. 

No doubt all this is a kick in the balls for the industry but decentralised services like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Aave, Curve, Chainlink are still chugging away. (touch wood)
