Trump has already made it clear that he's a Russian asset. The only question that remains is if he doing their bidding knowingly.

How would he go about transferring wealth to Putin & pals? He can't do business with them, because sanctions.

Russia already owns 12% of the world's crypto.

Trump can inflate their value by pulling shit like this.

Russia: profit.

Gotta give Russia the liquidity to exit its BTC positions if the war and sanctions will soon be over.

I hate that they even say this shit... Like I get this is just a blitz of information in the attempt to overwhelm us, but goddamn is it manufacturing anxiety. Wasn't it investing 101 that uncertainty is bad?

I hate that they even say this shit.

Me too. It's overwhhelming on the face of it, but now with the added bonus that they are provenly quite capable and willing to put such brainfarts into action.

Sometimes I think: "don't fall for it, the outrage is the point!" but then I think: "that just makes it easier for them to get away with it!"

I figured the owner class/military industrial complex pulling the levers would be most pissed about all of this and attempt something, but the market isn't super crazy and the only resistance is leftwing grassroots, which isn't neo-lib.

The One Piece is real

So then, hypothetically, if they do this and we get hit with an EMP or a huge solar flare we will literally have nothing? I know it's a little "tin foil hat" on my part, but I like to live by the rule of not putting all your eggs in one basket. I know this is an excuse for them to do a whole bunch of shady shit and destroy shit from the inside, but a random Internet stranger shouldn't have a better grasp of national security than the president. Like, if this doesn't set off red flags for you, you are either incredibly stupid or you think this will pay you out in some way. (Spoiler: it won't)

Even my 70 year old mom knows this is a stupid idea and she doesn't even know how to reset a router.

doesnt have to be an emp or solar flare. one malicious actor getting access to the wallets is all it takes and far more likely in my view

Let's just send the gold to North Korea and skip the middleman. /s

[-] Daggity@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Huh, right wing dipshits have been buying gold from hucksters for decades now. I'm assuming this sell off would devalue gold somewhat. It'll be weird seeing consequences of this if it happens.

Recently pardoned Dread Pirate Roberts will be appointed the head of the Department of Internet Currency Keeping.

He's the best at bitcoin.

Undoubtedly he'd resign or get scapegoated though, and truck will need to find and appoint a new DICK head.

Sure, why not. I could use a laugh, and the memes when this fails too are going to be juicy.

[-] tonytins@pawb.social 4 points 1 year ago

Simon Gruber wishes he had this much gold.

The Orange Turd is such a genius.
