That person is the worst liar that we have in the crypto-world. I remember another liar Balaji Srinivasan who predicted in March 2023 that Bitcoin would reach $1 million in 90 days.  Who was that one dude that predicted back in 2014: "Bitcoin will reach $200K/btc before BRK.A does." ? Didn't he bet some money on it? He is probably looking pretty foolish right about now. |

LOL @ that September jobs report. Yeah, riiiight. End of seasonal jobs? Mass layoffs? Mass strikes? What a fkn joke. Original estimates were about half of the number they printed for Sept. So I guess they can just make up whatever numbers suit their narrative now.  |

Everything worthwhile in life is a risk.
Risk nothing, gain nothing.
My whole entire life I've been surrounded by "fence sitters"; they have gained nothing except for the great bullshit powers of pontificating on either what they are going to do, or what they should have done. They do this endlessly as they watch life pass them by.
They consider the risk takers that have gained something as merely "lucky", not as disciplined and with vision and conviction.

Breaking... nChain CEO quits and calls Craig out for being a liar and a fraud and most definitely not Satoshi https://twitter.com/CryptoDevil/status/1707906429661651437Calvin Ayre emails Craig and tells him he is out and is pulling the plug on funding the hopeless legal cases Craig has been dragging innocent people into: https://twitter.com/CryptoDevil/status/1708085903451652335Full text part 1
wonder who sent this email
and who it was sent to. It was forwarded to me by someone Headline was as follows;
“My last direct communication on this issue. Please read carefully.” Dated 23 September. Judge by yourself please:
As I sit here I am on a beach in Southern Spain. I have a good life. I have every intention of keeping it this way. Right now the only negative in my life is your litigation disaster (and getting old but that one I cannot fix). I will accept your explanation that you did not actually threaten me so the following is the situation we find ourselves in.
I have been operating under the assumption that you and Ramona have the keys and that you were simply pretending not to have them as part of some strategy that you have trapped yourself in. But now that we are looking at a situation where continuing to deny you have them ruins your life and damages your supporters, I am forced to make a tough decision. It no longer matters if you have the keys or not as it is my opinion based on advice from Zafar and others that you cannot win the COPA trial if you do not sign at Harvard so I have no choice in what I have to do.
This of course will also mean that you lose all the other cases (other than maybe the token theft case…but to me losing COPA even puts this at risk) as COPA will set precedent that you are not Satoshi in law. All IP other than nChain patents will disappear. This means that you are not going to be able to get a court to declare that you own any tokens either. We have also verified that there is no complete paper trail evidencing the trust owning any tokens. This after nearly a year of Zurich reviewing all the evidence you have. This means you cannot repay me the money you owe me for all the litigation to date. This means every cent spent on your cases is me pissing away my kids inheritance. If you have the keys, your best play is to now use them. Going to jail for perjury but having the entire world accept you are a flawed Satoshi is infinitely better than losing this case and only being considered likely to be a flawed Satoshi after your death by historians as no other realistic person is ever found. However, its my opinion that once the world accepts you are a flawed Satoshi, everything changes and all of this just goes away. I can make it all go away in fact. There is zero reason to continue to pretend you do not have the keys if you really have them. Side bonus is that using the keys in this way, combined with verdict in Florida will likely be a accepted replacement for proper paper work for financial institutions.
So either you are a moron for intentionally losing this case, or you are a moron for actually not having the keys…either way, I am not following you over the cliff…and I actually have concerns with Stefan even being a witness as I know what they will do to him for this. My opinion in having watched this play out over the years is that its clear you are hopelessly bad at litigation. The ONLY reason you won in Florida is the other side got greedy and tried to both steal your shit and ruin your reputation and this was conflicting agendas and so confused the jury. The other side will not be making this mistake in London.
To me I am doing you and your supporters a favor…. I will cover this in CG as us still being sure you are Satoshi even as its clear that you were run over by the combined forces of Silicon Valley, US payments companies and the entire Crypto world. We will say that we believe you did forge some documents to replace ones you destroyed earlier to try to pretend you were not Satoshi. We will say this is because your Asperger’s makes you not think and act like an adult. You are like a super smart Teenager. This is not how this would play out in the media if we spend toe to toe with COPA and they still win which is what is most likely…in addition to the massive waste of my kids wealth…
(To be continued below)

Full text part 2
Its clear that once you lose you will need me more than ever. I will be the only one standing between your family and the soup kitchen. At least at the moment, depending on how self-destructive you get, I am not stopping my funding of the Association, the ecosystem or nChain and you, in fact this decision makes funding them a lot easier for me. From my perspective this decision improves everything now. Your continuing to accept this funding is your acceptance that our existing deal is still valid and that you agree with me that my stopping funding a lost cause is not a violation on my side. You are further agreeing that you personally will pay me back for all the money I have spent on your project even if the trust never gets any tokens.
I do not believe this case is fundable in any other way, I do not believe you will even be able to get a competent law firm to work with you on this as I expect all the lawyers to bail once they know I am out. The analysis above will be done by everyone and they are coming to the same conclusion. However, I will support any new funding options you can find if this is your wish just send the plan to Alain and I. I do not expect this to happen however as you have made yourself just to toxic for this and your enemies have piled on in branding you as such…they are ever so gleeful with every round you pinch off into your own feet. As I said above…I believe what I am doing is actually tough love, its definitely not meant to hurt you and it will actually help you looking at this from where I am sitting. The lawyers all dropping you because you ran out of funding is the best case scenario that I can see if you cannot do a Harvard signing.
By the way…you lost both contempt of court cases. Christen was the one that saved you and you are acting like you are too selfish and ignorant to even understand this. I don’t believe you have even thanked anyone. Both of these contempt’s would have been used against you in all other cases.
C…… So the only question remains... Will Craig flee the UK before he's nabbed by law enforcement for extradition back to Australia to face justice for the millions he stole from the taxpayer in his fake-bitcoins-to-real-dollars cash rebate scam?  |

Was curious how Coinbase's 5% APY on USDC worked, so I bothered to look into it, how they could be paying that much out in a world with low equity yields.
Now it all makes sense. They back it with the purchase of short term U.S. treasuries yielding 5.5%.
That means that once the Fed starts lowering rates, bye bye that APY on USDC.
Money will flood out of USDC and start chasing higher btc prices.
And looks like the USDC total market cap has already fallen from ~60B to now ~25B in just a half year.
Will stay away for now.

It never fails.
Every time I have to sell a little bit to pay some bills, a nice big green candle happens a few days later.
You're welcome.

OT: So here is the groan-worthy, sabre-rattling bullshit attitude that I predict that Jay Powell is going to come out swinging with today.

But no, Russell Brand is the problem.
As if no one knew Brand was a womaniser.
As if no women wanted to sleep with him, EXACTLY because he looked like a "bad boy".
Katy Perry in her Roar prime days could have had a million decent men lined up at her feet. But no, she had to have Brand.
As if Channel 4 didn't make money from Brand, and now is supposedly outraged at his behaviour in the hypocrite days. That channel should be shut down due to its disgusting schadenfreude. It is a far bigger problem than Brand!!
Russell Brand is willing to say the quiet parts out loud that the establishment hates. He was hitting too close to the truth one too many times. And his viewership is growing bigger and bigger by the day. Surely he had to know that TPTB would not stand for his popularity very long and come after him eventually? If you have a non-squeaky clean past, it doesn't take much for them to target you and shut you down. Just a little bit of dirt somewhere in your past will do it these days. Side note: His YouTube channel still appears to be up. But I heard that he is getting de-monetized, or something? |

The US will pay you 5.5% to lend them money for a year. But with a ~$2 Trillion deficit, those interest payments will come from... issuing more debt. If that sounds normal to you, perhaps I can interest you in some Argentine bonds that pay 118%  https://nitter.net/stackhodler/status/1703669712389845224
Correction:The U.S. will pay you, me, and every other Average Joe normie 5.5% on up to $10,000. Woohoo, hooray, we're all getting richer by the day! (Not even.) The U.S. will pay their billionaire friends 5.5% on up to billions and billions $$$ unlimited. THEY are getting richer by the day. See how that works? No sorry, I don't see how that works. How do you get richer, when the buying power of your USD decreases, because they just "print" your 5.5% interest....(billionaire or not). Best case I see that you don't lose as much as people that don't get that 5.5% return. Please enlighten me... (seriously) Thanks in advance Richer as in "relative richer". It's all about keeping your wealth higher relative to everyone else on the planet, and trying to outrun the inflation they are directly causing. Printing free money and giving it back to the rich (who then buy real deflationary assets with it) through usury, goods, services taxation and inflation is their con game. |

OT:
When the failing entertainment industries' ESG-driven (woke) unsuccessful garbage movies and shows start piling up, and they desperately need mass layoffs, suddenly bam !: a writer and actors strike appears.
When the failing auto industries' ESG-driven (woke) unsold EVs and other cars/trucks start piling up, and they desperately need mass layoffs, suddenly bam !: a workers' union strike appears.
Oh the timing, how conveeeeeeeeenient.
And the Average Joes and Janes can't seem to put 2-and-2 together. Completely oblivious.
Wake up, people. You are being played.

https://cryptopotato.com/bitcoin-miner-gets-paid-nearly-32-million-to-reduce-mining-rate-this-august/Bitcoin Miner Gets Paid Nearly $32 Million To Reduce Mining Rate This AugustAuthor: Cristian Lipciuc Riot Platforms was paid $31.7 million in energy credits by the Texas power grid operator ERCOT.
ERCOT, the Texan energy grid operator, has long had an informal relationship with crypto mining companies in the state. Since crypto mining companies often consume enormous amounts of electricity to power their activities, ERCOT opted to develop cordial relationships with them instead of trying to stifle their activities. One of the ways this relationship unfolds is through the offering of energy credits in return for a reduction in power consumption during crucial moments... ...the Texan energy grid was at risk of being overwhelmed due to a marked increase in air conditioning equipment being used. In order to stave off any unfortunate events, ERCOT asked Riot Platforms and other crypto miners to reduce their energy consumption. To compensate for the loss of potential profit generated by mining Bitcoin, ERCOT offered the mining company $31.7 million in energy credits – a figure slightly higher than the potential proceeds of mining and selling Bitcoin during the month of August. ... “All you have to do is pay the miners slightly more than what they would have made mining for bitcoin that hour. It’s a win-win.”...
Night and day difference compared to New York's outright hostility toward bitcoin miners. People would applaud this now, but then can't see the future potential for corrupt market manipulation by Wall Street.
"We will pay you to turn off your mining machines... (when the timing is right, of course)"I'm quite certain this was already done a few times in China.  |

So yeah it all makes sense, might be true, and out of all it's my favorite narrative..
But all your writing in huge letters doesn't change the fact that you don't have any hard evidence for it either (even if "most likely" true)
The corrupt financial entities and whales don't need to provide any evidence, hard or soft, of their cheating or manipulation of the markets. They are not going to provide any. They just quietly do it on the DL. Not saying you, but it's the total smooth brain retards that are constantly saying "Hurp durp, show us the hard evidence or it isn't happening/ doesn't happen." It's the same smooth brain retards that always look for a "reason" behind every large green or red candle move, every rally or every crash. And the corrupt whales are always right there to give them one in the MSM to satisfy them. "Why is Bitcoin rallying today?" "Why is Bitcoin crashing today?" "Oh I see, it happened because blah blah blah....because the news just told me why....blah blah blah..." |

Good as I am deliberately buying more coin at cheap prices. I like the gossip. every week we get a new unproven explanation for the bad price performance last week it was Binance selling to support their shitcoin... now BR suppressing price for an ETF entry... let's see what's coming next what about some good old gox FUD, like insiders selling in anticipation of an imminent coin distribution?  I feel like some bitcoiners here just can't see the forest for the trees. Does anyone here really think that mega financial corps like Blackrock, Fidelity, ARKK, and the others would wait until AFTER their Spot ETFs get officially approved to start accumulating massive amounts of bitcoin for their clients? And in the meantime wouldn't use their vast cash reserves to help short down the exchange price while they are accumulating on the DL through third party entities since January? Really? Really?? REALLY???
FUCKING REALLY?!?!?! WHAT REALITY DO YOU THINK THAT YOU LIVE IN NOW?!?!?!?! |
