Buttcoin

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said — Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. … Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
FORTUNE FAVORS THE BR—
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Unpopular but true: Bitcoin is the most significant monetary advance since the creation of coinage.

If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry.

Ed pls.

Yesterday, the business section of El País, the Spanish newspaper of record, published this story.

It details how now people are investing in "tokens" using the blockchain, in something that looks pretty much like a regular REIT to me. 12 % average annual return, 6 % to 10 % MER. I already know the end of this movie.

I've contacted the local regulator (the Spanish SEC if you want) and asked them if they have published any information about this ~~scam~~ very sophisticated product.

I was wondering if this is also a thing outside of Spain. We can't have been the first ones to invent this shit.

If you can't access it due to the paywall I can send you a PDF, just DM me.

And I’m never wrong about this stuff. Never.

that drop was one hour after the latest billion tethers

the new narrative is apparently that the pump is in 90 days when financial advisors are finally ready to push bitcoin ETFs on their customers (for some reason)

ETFs put bitcoin on steroids!! y'know, asthmatic with shrunken balls

the bitcoin market is fake and in tethers, but the retail securities market is real and in dollars

my brother in Satoshi, you are the exit liquidity

yes, feel free to ask some here yourselves

Memestockers will of course double down: https://old.reddit.com/r/BBBY/comments/18nxadz/posting_since_it_wasnt_yet_interpret_how_you_want/

A Toronto-area recuiter has mentioned a suprising amount of money for what appears to be a run of the mill cloud-aware ops job.

Berachain offers generous salaries ($400k) as well as STRONG Token Equity Packages ($300k p.a.) and amazing team culture, with an office based in Toronto

(Obvious answer is that the actual offer is lower, of course.)

I'm figuring the catch is something less obvious than:

• blockchain company
• headquartered in the Cayman Islands (https://twitter.com/berachain, https://github.com/berachain)
• pseudonymous founders pivoted from NFTs (https://finance.yahoo.com/news/defi-focused-layer-1-berachain-130000958.html)

Assuming for this post that this was a $400,000 salary with the usual corporate addons, how would somebody go about finding the catch that the salary is the red flag for?
