Buttcoin is the future of online butts. Buttcoin is a peer-to-peer butt. Peer-to-peer means that no central authority issues new butts or tracks butts.

A community for hurling ordure at cryptocurrency/blockchain dweebs of all sorts. We are only here for debate as long as it amuses us. Meme stocks are also on topic.

I hope he had a real long talk with his lawyers to be 100% sure this also won't count as market manipulation.

Matt Levine has an amazing newsletter about this today. Relevant excerpt:

In the hypothetical trade in Question 7, would the US Securities and Exchange Commission have a case against him for market manipulation? In your answer, make reference to (1) the fact that the tweet doesn’t mention GameStop at all, (2) the recent decision by a federal judge in Texas that actually pump and dumps are legal and (3) the 2023 decision by a federal judge in Washington, DC, that the moon emoji is securities fraud.

We live in a crazy world.
