SBF granted bail just before Christmas. These two tweets sum up the case.
Even though there seem to be pretty obvious partisan aspects to this matter, I think that we get distracted if we accept stupid-ass political frameworks in the ways that we get mad about the various appearances of injustices and improprieties in this case so far.
Sure, he probably should not have been released.
Sure there are probably some political players whose heads might need to roll.
Fuck the partisanship framing.
Let's try to focus..
Focus ur lil selfie.
Yes, one of the charges, already has the breaking of campaign contribution laws already contained therein, and yes, we need to keep digging regarding the various connections.. whether right, left center or whatever, that money needs to get back to clients to make them whole on a broad level.. . and also we need to make sure that we continue to talk about this in terms of the various frauds, cover-ups, influence peddling, potential attacks on bitcoin in terms of not holding bitcoin on behalf of clients or to make sure that they had enough to cover clients, and even bullshit distractions trying to blame CZ and Binance for frauds that SBF, FTX, Alameda and the various principle agents had committed and connections that still are not clear.. yes.. let's look.. but don't get deflected and distracted into stupid, superficial and emotionally-ladened framings.
KEEP your cool FOLKS!!!!!!!!In other words:
Calm DOWN !!!!!!!!and happy holidays, too.
and of course....
Oh my....
Almost not feeling like having a strong stomach when looking at that... but at least it doesn't seem to be partisan... perhaps?
Isn't everything vulnerable to partisanship these days?

They were printing money for all I savings bond holders.
I sent you a merit even though I disagree with several of your points... and several seem to be making confusing connections.. even though weaved in some decently valid points too.. so you probably believe that gobble-dee-gook ...
and don't even get me wrong.. there are people who believe even worse gobbledy gook than you, so it can be helpful that you outline it.
Regarding the one above highlighted point, I understand that you are saying that money printing ends up giving money towards more normies being able to buy I savings bonds, and sure that is factually true... but it is not really a very good explanation in regards to what is going on with I savings bonds.. so yeah, the US government is engaging in its own internal contradictions by creating the most stringent of monetary policies to cause the dollar to be the strongest of the currencies and for value to be attracted to the dollar... so in that sense there has developed a way to get away with this because the USD is the strongest of the fiats... and the policies of stringent policies will cause money to gravitate towards to the dollar... but the printing of money is the opposite and undermines the dollar.. but the printing of the money is more subtle and no one seems to be able to measure it very easily. .. but the printing of the money is not exactly directly supporting the buying of the Ibonds.. because the IBonds end up getting supported by having the highest nominal interest rates (and may well not have positive real rates.. but the least bad fiat)... so I would suggest that when the dollar gets so fucked up that the printing ends up having to buy the Ibonds directly rather than attracting suckers like you to buy them, then we are really fucked when the situation gets that circular... which may happen a couple more cycles down the road.
I don't claim to be any genius.. but just wanted to say that your way of framing the matter just comes off as weird, even though it is not completely factually inaccurate, but not really that great of a way of describing matters in order to help to appreciate the kind of desperation going on.. that at the same time may well allow for the kicking of the can down the road for one, two or maybe even three cycles.. and surely, we cannot even know for sure if the whole bunch of bullshit might come crashing down more quickly than expected either.. and whether the crash is slow or it takes 30-50 years, it remains good to keep building bitcoin allocations.. and the amount of bitcoin allocation is going to vary from person to person in regards to his/her personal circumstances.. and sure institutions and governments are coming more into bitcoin too.. so great that individuals have been able to front run institutions and governments to the extent that individuals do not overly get caught up in bullshit narratives that fail and refuse to adequately account for bitcoin's role in this..
Actually one of the better sources of information regarding points that I am trying to lamely make is Jeff Booth.. price of tomorrow and various other talks (podcasts) that he participates in that address these kinds of topics in regards to what is going on with money and how these matters are playing out.
