»#Cryptocurrencies fall after #Trump officially establishes #US #bitcoinreserve: Investors dumped their coins at the notion of the U.S. having no immediate planned purchases of #bitcoin.« https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/07/crypto-market-today.html?eicker.news #tech #media

Nachdem der fossile US-Thymokrat #Trump eine US-Kryptoreserve mit #KryptoCoins angekündigt hat, schießen die Kurse von #Solana, #BitCoin & Co. nach oben.

Denn auf nichts hoffen die angeblichen #Rechtslibertären wie schon ihr Vorbild Elon #Musk mehr - als auf Staats- und #Steuergeld! Da wollen sie ran. Am Besten in Dollar, Euro, Franken & Rubel. https://scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-glaubens/kryptowinter-die-falle-des-commitment-tunnel/

Guten Morgen - Tässle Kaffee ️?

Warum versenken Menschen immer wieder ihr Geld in Schneeballsystemen, bei Verschwörungsunternehmern und in Kryptocoins?

Zur Erklärung verwende ich inzwischen die Begriffe der Commitment - Falle oder gar des Commitment - Tunnel.

2 years ago when I joined social media to try to get some better quality information into the debate about the horrors of the #cryptocurrency "industry" I wrote an essay that went a bit viral titled "Cryptocurrency Is A Hideous Monstrosity Made Out Of Computers And Greed That Must Be Destroyed Before It Devours The World".

Unfortunately it has languished behind Medium’s constantly shifting and extremely opaque paywall rules. Now that the crypto industry has effectively bought the government of the world’s largest superpower I decided to republish the piece on #Substack under a slightly different name ("...That Is About To Devour The World") with a couple of light edits and an additional introduction about the current state of affairs with the incoming #Trump administration. You can read it here:

Il y a 2 ans, je suis allé au #ElSalvador pour découvrir l'adoption de #Bitcoin dans le pays. J'en avais fait un fil Masto pour partager mes impression :
https://tooting.ch/@ludomire/109341863578254197

Aujourd'hui, j'y retourne pour 11 jours. J'y vais à présent pour des raisons professionnelles pour y présenter le #logiciellibre @bebop au salon #AdoptingBitcoin avec le soutien du canton de Neuchâtel .

Cette fois encore, je compte partager mes impressions dans un fil de brèves régulières.

For some reason people fleeing the sinking #Twitter / #X ship for #BlueSky don't seem to be aware of the fact that crypto bros at #BlockchainCapital bought a huge stake in the company just a few weeks ago. Like these are basically the same crypto bros who just helped #ElonMusk buy Twitter. They might even be literally the same people (I strongly suspect they are but I'm too lazy to check). Either way #BlockchainCapital was co-founded by #BrockPierce, who also brought you #Tether, AKA the company that Trump's transition team chairman manages $120 billion for. Pierce is also a friend of the #Netanyahu family.

You don't have to take my word for it. Here's the official press release: https://bsky.social/about/blog/10-24-2024-series-a

Moving to BlueSky is not an escape. Growing a base there is just putting in a bunch of work to create a platform that will be co-opted by crypto bros as soon as X breaks in half.

p.s. crypto bros (#a16z) also own #Substack
