Just FYI: The ICO, IEO, "influencer marketing", endorsement, "advisor" etc emails and DMs have started flooding in again.

People are offering me (and many others) $25k to $250k for endorsement, review, tweets etc. I say no, many say yes.

SCAMS are coming. Be careful.
I'm now getting 10-15 requests A DAY for "influencer marketing" bullshit.

I block anyone who sends these to me.

When your favorite CT "influencer" starts endorsing or promoting something beware: they're being paid for every tweet.
It's been about a month since this new wave of scammers started up again.

Last time was August-December 2017.

The price dump in crypto made them go away and now they're back.
FOMO is in the air. Newbies are joining the cryptocurrency space and falling prey to scammers.

Please educate your friends and family:
- Promises of profit are 100% ponzi
- Request to "recruit", "affiliate" etc are 100% pyramid schemes
- ICO/IEO are 99.99% pump-and-dump

It appears some journalist has "difficulty" understanding Bitcoin mining.
Also, in "journalism" if you write-off a 100bn industry because of a technical "flaw", you first ask a technical expert for comment.

One more obituary on the heap. Credibility went to zero faster than bitcoin's price.
Breaking news: Journalism enters death spiral.

Thread: On Rules of Engagement Plus More, Part II

1. Bad rules of engagement in Afghanistan and Iraq got people killed, needlessly. Part I of this series provided an overview of what ROEs are in general, with some expert commentary on bad ROEs, etc.
2. Part II continues commentary from a couple of folks who wish to remain anonymous (special ops, covert CIA contractor, Marine) on Iraq ROEs and the politicization of both the Afghanistan and Iraq campaigns. I then wrap up the series with a short summary and conclusions.
3. <begin quotes> Same-o for Iraq, but by then the FBI had honed their skills at causing grief. I hate to say it, but I once let three guys get away that had lit me up with a PKM at night, landing me (alone) on the side of the road.

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

I'm not going to try to tweet storm my whole column tonight on the Green New Deal. Instead, I will address one question, and make one point.

washingtonpost.com/opinions/were-…
The question is "Oh, so we can't try bold action? It's people like you who have held back progress throughout history!"
"Bold action" is not some self-justifying magic incantation that obviates the need for asking whether your bold action can work.

This all started because the #MetPolice & #LBRUT couldn't do their day jobs properly & decided to take the law into their own hands. It started as a small cover up 12 years ago but has turned into British State Persecution.

My company was raided. It should have been a straightforward matter. But the #MetPolice & #LBRUT forgot to seize my computer & came back to do a 2nd raid. The search warrant didn't permit a second entry, however, #LBRUT entered unlawfully

#Guardian #Telegraph #DailyMail #GMB #UK
Complaints were then made to my MP #VinceCable. He liaised with the #Metpolice & #LBRUT. And then weeks later, the search warrant was completely changed & was passed off as the search warrant executed on the day of the raids.
