SEC strikes again! This time it’s not crypto, but our boi Elon Mars
PS: for shitposting on twitter and “taking Tesla private” without funds being #SAFU

The settlement, which is still subject to court approval, includes the following:
- Elon will pay a civil penalty of $20 million and give up his role as chairman of the board for at least 3 years
- Tesla will pay a $20 million fine, and appoint two new independent directors to the board

Elon, remember, SEC can’t get you on the moon! That being said… wen moon sir?

Your portfolio in the last few months

Interesting stuff: blog.bitmex.com/ethereum-holdings-in-the-ico-treasury-accounts. Quote: ICO treasury accounts have a much lower level of exposure to the price of Ethereum than many may have thought.

‘I hired a treasury service to increase my line of credit, which is smart’ (c) ICO

So... Are you done? Did you finish? Is your network dominating the world, making it a better place?

You raised money for a tech project, and instead of building stuff - you are hiring asset managers and diversifying your risks? Excuse me, did you not raise the money for building the product?

Your money must go into events facilitation, hackatons, ecosystem development and hiring developers. I did not contribute to your project for you to be running around buying equity, real estate and making your own VC which has no relevance to your project. Stop with those bullshit arguments about diversifying risks. You raise money, you build the product you promised, you launch it and market it. Otherwise you are a total scam. Period.

Rchain Drama ELI5
PS: thanks to @c0mm0n and @Daryllautk for raw info

- Greg Meredith (CEO of R-Coop) hired external devs (Immersion) to work on Rsong, agreeing to pay $23m
- They have a $6m payment due coming up, and Rchain has a major cash crunch

PPS: I usually post porn, so making actual content is unintuitive to me - if there is something I missed, let me know 💁‍♂️

TL;DR let me summarize the summary for you: looks like they are rekt, sir.

When regulators come and we get STOs (liquid equity pretty much), it will be like this:
- You will not have access to the best deals
- You will still be buying shitcoins that are left
- You will buy good deals at x10 off the hands of funds

Wait… still sounds like ICOs but worse. You know what the difference will be?
- You will not have access to good deals at all (while for now you have crowdsale)
- You will have to submit 100 papers to KYC and etc.
- Your profits will not be x2, but 10% yearly

Go home and cry to your daddy regulator - or maybe start reading whitepapers? Your choice.

​​The results of three polls performed by the UK research association

1. I was very surprised to see KuCoin majorly outperform other exchanges in the voting list. This basically means that KuCoin can be called a TOP-3 exchange for alts when it comes to accessible exchanges after Binance and Huobi. What I mean by ‘accessible’ is that Bitfinex kills alts, and Bittrex/Bithumb are not exclusively listing coins, so they do not count. Quite a revelation for many of us!

2. People do not want to give up their salaries for blowjobs at their work desks (ok sure thing…)
3. Having your balls stuck in a chair is not as painful as holding shitcoin bags. An interesting finding as well.

UK research team will be back with more quality uncorrelating results!

Next up in the list: what is the correlation between BTC price and your weekly visits on pornhub.
The assumption the UK research team has stated is that with the growing market, hamsters get their adrenalin from trading and jerking off to their Delta/Blockfolio stats, hence pornhub loses their revenue. There is a rumour that pornhub is shorting BTC to not go out of business. More TBA.

In Prague. Getting an Uber.

Driver: oh I already went there this week, seems like there is some crypto conference going on.
Me: yep. Are you involved with crypto?
Driver: no, I don’t trust crypto.
Me: 🎤-drop

Normal people can’t care less about censorship-resistance, freedom of money and etc. There is only a very small market for this. That market is us, a few people in the echo-chamber. And projects are constantly trying to steal that audience from each other.

Stop raping the same market all over again. Instead of repeatedly milking each other for users, find a way to bring outsiders into this.

But make sure to have real use cases (don’t invent them!) and value proposition - not ‘we decentralize it all, give you freedom and kill banks’ - 99% of people don’t care about this. And I am convinced they will not.

BitMex report = TL;DR, but the part about huge ICOs is funny: given the large amount of token supply, who will buy this shit? All the demand has already been fulfilled OTC.

If I see yet another analyst running around and predicting the market movements, I will find him and stick a ledger full of xrp in his butt.

The life of Arthur:

1) make a bet which sounds ridiculous
2) open your own exchange
3) short the heck out of the asset
4) win
