The anti-crypto thread

[BFG10K]

Great news, crypto's collapsing across the board: https://www.techpowerup.com/282380/...ions-in-less-than-24-hours-did-the-bubble-pop

Also China's banned crypto, though individuals can still have it: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/chinese-financial-payment-bodies-barred-122712260.html

The sooner this cancerous parasite is wiped out, the better.

No. My PayPal is different.

Years ago, Paypal let my account's email be changed without any OTP. I tried really hard to reason with them, telling them they can't just give my account to someone else without authentication from the existing linked email address. To no avail. Thankfully, that account wasn't used much. Just a few days ago, I received an email from Microsoft telling me that my gmail address was used to create a Microsoft account. That seems like a Microsoft flaw, to let accounts be created for domains they don't even own.

No. My PayPal is different.
My Emails are ' buckets '. Each has its use.
Bummin' out this addy is compromised.

Then you can safely assume it's a scam (you probably already knew that).

American investor Martin Shkreli accused of copying and sharing one-of-a-kind Wu-Tang Clan album

American investor Martin Shkreli is facing a new lawsuit for allegedly retaining and sharing recordings from a one-of-a-kind Wu-Tang Clan album that he was forced to sell following his 2017 conviction on fraud charges.

So, why is this in this thread?


Turds of a feather ....

"The lawsuit was brought Monday by a cryptocurrency collective, PleasrDAO, which purchased the only known copy of the album from Shkreli for $4.75 million. The album, “Once Upon a Time is Shaolin,” has not been released to the public, functioning as a rare contemporary art piece since it was auctioned off by the famed hip-hop group in 2015."

"“Any dissemination of the Album’s music to the general public greatly diminishes and/or destroys the Album’s value, and significantly damages PleasrDAO’s reputation and ability to commercially exploit the Album,” the lawsuit states."

Kinda makes you wonder how the DAO plans to commercially exploit a one-of-a-kind album.
