How did a mere Bitcoin enthusiast wind up on this absolutely horrific crypto conference speakers roster of monsters, crooks, and shitbirds, several of whom (maybe most of them!) have little or nothing to do with crypto?
If Crypto people would like me to stop assuming their thing is a right-wing grift, I'd simply ask that they stop making their figureheads right wing grifters.
He and Cathie are the only ones on there who haven’t tried to start a cult. On the flip side, if it came out that they had tried to start a cult, I would be disappointed but unsurprised.
Literally everyone of these people started off as something else, made terrible decisions and now find themselves clinging to each other, praying the dumbest people in America vote in a way that keeps them relevant.
Probably RFK Jr’s best bet at this point is to throw in the towel and see if he could push Vance out of the VP spot.
He’s all but endorsed Trump anyway.
It's not too surprising to me that Snowden's hawking crypto now, but has he said anything supporting Trump? Which we have reason to think Russia would privately applaud?
That's good at least. I think about him from time to time. Is he bored silly? Does he regret going to Russia? I'm glad he did what he did. Wish he could have faced the music, but plenty of people wanted the death penalty, and good chance he would have gotten life or something.
I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest six out of seven of those are sexual assaulters. I give the lady the benefit of the doubt, at least. But Snowden, Vivek, and Saylor are assaulters that just haven’t been caught yet.
I was going to say. I don’t know who she his. But if I had to find everything these people had in common it would not be saying anything good about her.
I just want to ask what aspect of the economy he was good for
From what I understand, it tanked under his purview, and the spiral started before COVID was a thing
It’s going to be hilarious when Trump launches his own crypto scam at the conference.
All his MAGA cult go crazy for it (like they did his shows). And it instantly drops in value to be worth less a few days later when he and his sons cash out.
Even ignoring the fact that this group is like the 1927 Yankees of sex pests, how many of these people could possibly know anything about crypto that's worth learning? Two, *maybe* three?
But imagine that the day before the conference, candidate Harris declares her belief that cryptocurrencies are commodities, not securities, and pledges to make Hester Pierce the head of the SEC.
that's a rumor so far, and one i’d be very surprised to see turn out to happen. it’s coming via Bitcoin Magazine, via the conference organizers, who have a poor record for factual reporting and a strong incentive to drum up press coverage (respectively)
I'm a big fan of Bitcoin (and of course your work Molly), and have been going to Bitcoin conferences for over a decade. That lineup in the top post is a disgusting clown car, except Snowden, who's a revered hero of mine.
Kamala speaking at the Bitcoin Conference would make me so happy. What a year.
I have no idea what Ark is, and the blurb underneath the only woman on the panel has not helped me. I can only assume it’s a christofascist/tech futurist mashup VC company.

He's probably out of his mind on coke in some department store anyway.
And I ask that as someone who despises crypto!

“No.”

Baffling that anybody supports this ghoul.
he had plenty legitimate channels, chose not to use them
that doesnt happen for free
But, maybe it's me...
Small ideas!

She also was on the receiving end of one of the best burns I’ve ever heard, from an investor I respect: “You were not brilliant; you were just long.”

The cope and seethe would be glorious.
