Here We Go
SEC TO COINBASE:
DELIST EVERYTHING BUT #BTC
Of course Blackrock et al want their Bitcoin Spot ETF. And they want it before the halvening in April 2024. Blackrock needs Gensler to get this done. After losing his ETH is a Security lawsuit obviously Coinbase will comply. In return Coinbase will be assured of a perpetual gigantic payday from every company who has applied for the BTC Spot ETF which all named Coinbase for the custody and surveillance job the SEC demands. This move will more than make up the difference in their shitcoin transaction fees loss. Everyone Wins !
SEC asks Coinbase to delist tokens and only show bitcoin
The inexorable centralization, politicization, and digitization of the fiat banking system is THE thesis for Bitcoin. This Orwellian trend is the reason why BTC was invented and it is the reason why it will continue to grow. They cannot help themselves. High street lenders are under increasing pressure to reveal the checks they carry out on customers.
Major banks’ privacy policies allow them to monitor customers’ social media accounts
The #WordOfTheDay is ‘filch.’
ETH founders did a double whammy, not only a presale but a premine too. full blown unregistered sec. offering.
Fun Fact: they presold tokens of which they had yet not determined what total supply would be. The *real* Ethereum genesis block actually happened off-chain, when Vitalik and Joe Lubin premined 72 million ETH and gave it to themselves/friends Don’t forget to add the part where they gave the majority to #jpm and their deals with Simpson Thatcher and the SEC. William Hinman had 15 million reasons to let ETH slide, despite warnings from SEC ethics about direct criminal conflicts. ETH is the mother of all ponzi tokens. And that’s why it can never a commodity.
Unless they burn their premined ETH, hand their project over to the public and disappear from the face of the earth. 100%. the presale was well before a block was even produced. most people don’t even know they hadn’t determined a total supply at that time either.
Definitely a security contract at time of offering.

Elon Musk says he will execute on his 22-year plan to make X the most valuable financial institution in the world. Elon is a degenerate.
NEVER allow your twitter X account to be used as your bank. You’d never want Zuck or Musk to have that power they are both supreme assholes. They don’t need your money or power.
If it is convenient really easy to use everyone will get suckered into using it.
SO WHAT IF IT IS EASY! You’re no sucker!! You will refuse to allow Elon to have all the info / data and sell it or control it or put you in harms way.
“Elon Musk Will Train His AI Project Using Your Tweets.” >>>
Musk sheds more light on his plans for xAI, a new startup to counter OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard. ‘We are definitely the competition,’ he says. “Every organization doing AI, large and small, has used Twitter’s data for training, basically in all cases illegally,” he said(Opens in a new window), later adding: “We had multiple entities scraping every tweet ever made, and trying to do so in a span of days.”
Twitter recently imposed rate limits to prevent companies from scraping data from the platform. However, Musk plans on opening up the tweet access for xAI. “We will use the public tweets —obviously not anything private— for training as well just like everyone else has,” he said.
RIP PEE WEE HERMAN Paul Reubens

NEW: Biden administration launches new income-driven student debt repayment plan
Student borrowers can apply for the NEW income driven repayment program beginning next month. It could lower your payments to ZERO, you only have to do it ONCE, not annually, and unpaid interest will NOT accrue if you make you new lower payments.
Federal student loan borrowers can access the beta website at https://studentaid.gov/idr/. The enrollment process is estimated to take 10 minutes, and many sections can be automatically populated with information the government has on hand, including tax returns from the IRS, administration officials said.
The SAVE, or Saving on a Valuable Education, plan was finalized after the Supreme Court struck down President Joe Biden’s student debt forgiveness initiative in June. Those already enrolled in the federal government’s REPAYE, or Revised Pay As You Earn, income-driven repayment plan will be automatically switched to the new plan. The full website launch will occur in August, and applications submitted during the beta period will not need to be resubmitted.
Meet The Press Post-vaccine, Republicans had a 43% higher Covid death rate than Democrats. In what must be one of the cruelest and dumbest political movements ever, the right literally sacrificed their own voters in an effort to appeal to their ignorant base.

HATE “Nobody who has chosen the easy path of hate has gotten to the end of that road and said ‘oh, what a life.’ No. They die as miserably as they lived,” said Schwarzenegger. I sandi bachom have spent nearly 8 years documenting hate. It’s an addiction. It releases dopamine and endorphins in their brains. IF you’ve ever been to a trump rally you’ll see it. I wrote three books for Hazelden @hazldnbettyford and when I was on my first book tour, I learned so much about what happens in the brain of the alcoholic or addict. Even thinking about doing the drug, dopamine and endorphins are released and that sets off what’s called the phenomenon of craving and you’ll do anything to get the drug. The fix. They are addicted to their tribe. I took a bus trip with them once from Minneapolis to Milwaukee, and they were all getting high on each other. Me too cause I’m an addict. And in their case, the drug is trumpism and hate and fake Jesus and QAnon

War crimes requires the prosecutor advance the defeat of an enemy force and if that force is driven by slavish loyalty to a monster, the force command and supporters must be targeted. I won’t be surprised if scope of the coming charges include the GOP politicians and GOP’s donor class.
