If I had won that powerball jackpot, one of the things I would do is start up the opposite of an advertising agency. I would make anti-ads and I would have a ball with it.

So, yeah, super rich newspaper heir needs a hobby too!

I love this idea. Buy add space and just put images on it of nature or something? Maybe just solid colors.

I would be behind buying billboards just to dismantle them, but images of nature would be a good display until the dismantling actually happened

I was mainly referring to making actual anti-ads though. Like attack ads on evangelical conservatives that aren't even running for office, or attacks on the specific actions of specific corporations

Yes I would be absolutely drowned in lawsuits

Not good for FTX International users and FTT holders.

Don't hold your funds on exchanges. They are **exchanges** not banks.

Don't hold clown bucks.

MSNBC spent the morning talking about (with ETH founder too and he reiterated it) that the world is really hungry for digital currency, and what they want is a USD stablecoin global currency.

What's even the difference between a USD stablecoin and the dollar? It's not like actual paper money is exchanged. I keep hearing about making a digital coin as the new U.S. currency but don't see the point?

I'm glad to see bitcoin drop. Bitcoin mining is actually pretty bad for the environment. I think Ethereum can't be mined anymore so that's a giant step in the right direction but all these crypto mining operations are a major draw on electricity and that's not what we need now. We need the opposite.

You don't understand proof-of-work or proof-of-stake. You are simply buying the narrative that "energy use is bad." Read some. Try google.

Quote:
In a thread titled "If you didn't buy BTC at $40,000" OP out here railing that people are too dumb to understand why the $15k fake coin is going to go back up.
BTC never recovered when it fell from:
  • $32 to $2
  • $1000 to $500
  • $19000 to $3200

So it certainly won't recover again after falling from $69000 to $15000.

Idiot.

You have 12-year history with a clear pattern staring you in the face and you step on the rake again.

If you get fired from McDonald's maybe try being a Wily Coyote for kids bday parties.

I dunno, I'm not an expert but I would presume the majority of people just want personal safety and security for themselves and their families. If crypto gets them that then sure why not.

I saw this, not sure if I trust it, but I also don't trust techbro hype so... wait and see I guess. I am sure there are other examples. I've paid for things in crypto before, but it wasn't out of necessity.
