Everyone is scared of inflation, and everyone knows what gold is—whereas bitcoin is still “that FTX thing.”

Having culture shock from visiting Bitcoin's subreddit. It's like visiting your old school after years in the workforce. Today it's all all memes and fiat speculation. I remember when serious technical and economic discussions were regularly held there. Won't be going back; my curiosity has been successfully scratched, beaten, and pacified. Either I am older or Bitcoin is younger. Maybe both.

He's in prison for talking shit. The documents are full of quotes of his Twitter posts, forum posts, telegram chats, whatever, where he explicitly said his business is helping criminals, or money laundering, or inviting exchange thieves to use his mixer... AM NOT saying this is morally enough to jail him. A lot of this was obvious joking. But it is 100% talking shit and it gave the Feds what they needed on a silver platter to establish "intent" and it was used against him, whether he held funds or not. I hope he gets his pardon though.
