How many more monetary scams do we need before we can stop this shit so the easily scammed don’t lose more money?
This is UNIQUELY designed to happen right now because of Trump,.and it’s a a fucking scam that will beat work RIGHT NOW because of that.
Until there is no more money to grift. Which even at this impressive rate of grifting and corruption, is still going to take a while, because there is a lot of wealth in the US to pilfer.
What a complete turd of a human being. Trump backer piece of shit.
I dunno man. He seems pretty cogent to me. Even if I don’t agree with him.
greed is a mental illness. that guy has a mental illness.
Fair enough.
His brother in law is Matt Gaetz.
It’s hilarious in a way that Thiel, one of the billionaires who triggered a liquidity crisis that sunk SVB, is off proposing to fill the gap that he created. It’s also entirely fitting with the conspiracy theory of the tech bro fascists wanting complete autonomy to setup electronic fiefdoms.
I don’t really get how this would work though, in more practical terms – as a lot of the crypto stuff is just antithetical to the banking industry. Like even the whole schpiel the crypto bros often go on about how you can send money quick from wallet to wallet, with the old “OMG we did it! How can banks be so stupid and slow!”. It’s largely due to regulation. Like anti-money laundering regulation, where countries don’t want citizens funding things like foreign terrorist groups with untrackable/unblockable wallet to wallet money transfers, so they tell banks they gotta scrutinize every transaction quite a bit, under threat of hefty fines – and where the govt can overtly tell banks to block payments to unfriendly countries (eg. Iran).
Meh, it’s clear they won’t care about the fundamentals at all, nor do they care to understand how the industry works. They’ll likely use the bank to undercut existing players, while propping it up by manipulating the stock / piling in their billions. The regulation comment is a misdirect, alot like claims of wanting to be regulated were a misdirect back with FTX – these guys are far more likely to aggressively lobby for / pay the republicans to dismantle regulations in their favour, changing the landscape to their personal benefit. After the competition starts crumbling / they start moving towards a monopoly, they’ll either turn it into a regular bank in terms of service (but under their control of course), or they’ll intentionally tank it to gobble up whatever reserve/insurance funds exist, shifting that wealth into the billionaire’s pockets too, and leaving people with few options other than “under the mattress” for their savings. That’d make people almost entirely dependant on maintaining a regular working income, completing the tech bro fascist wet dream of having indentured slaves that can’t push back against any of their bullshit.
Wasn’t this the guy who stole all tech for his VR headset from another company?
Can we put down all billionaires already? Worthless leeches on society contributing absolutely nothing.
Is that supposed to be a goatee on his chin?
