#cryptocrash underway as the ecosystem has barely any real cash in it. The billions that has been sent to digital wallet providers have been extracted and spent on advertising to get more suckers. I’m constantly inundated with crypto related adds.
My belief is that major exchanges have engaged in tether swaps to give them a source of cheap capital. They swap commercial paper with Tether (borrow $1bln at a time from Tether in exchange for giving Tether an IOU for $1bln) then buy $1bln worth of Tether with the phoney loan.
They then have a cheap source of capital as they have been transferring tethers to client accounts and taking their cash onto their own balance sheets.
That money has gone out the the ecosystem and been spent on advertising to sucker more people in.
Some of the major exchanges claim to be audited but in reality they are only audited on there money laundering account control process. I’m having trouble finding major exchanges that report audited balance sheets. The industry doesn’t want to reveal what they’ve been up to
Soon we will learn the truth about the Tether Comercial paper story. Many speculate that it’s garbage Chinese company paper. But, it makes way more sense for it to be commercial paper from digital wallet providers and crypto exchanges.
Regulation will be forced on to these entities and the ponzi exposed. It’s way worse then nearly anyone understands. The ecosystem will be experience an giant bank run and implode. Poof goes your wallet. Oh…and fuck Matt Damon you shouldn’t endorse what you don’t understand
Crypto exchanges / digital wallet providers with unaudited balance sheets will likely prove to be unable to provide people an off ramp out of the crypto ecosystem.
They take your cash and spend it themselves.
Also, crypto speculators/investors are retail plebs that are completely incapable of doing due diligence on exchanges. The crypto world is full of criminals with a history of fraud and ponzi. It’s both comical and tragic. I hate seeing unsuspecting people robbed, but greed kills

@crypto if journalists were on the job they would be asking the crypto exchanges to go on record if they’ve engaged with swaps with tether and if so to declare the magnitude of the swaps they have.
Seems pretty obvious to me that Tethers commercial paper holders are nothing more than IOU’s from crypto wallet providers and crypto exchanges. The ‘ecosystem’ has pulled in crypto investor cash by the billions and given them tethers as an on ramp to begin trading crypto.
This will be the biggest story of 2022. The truth about the ponzi that is the crypto ecosystem is coming out. All those billions of inflows have in turn gone on to the balance sheets of crypto exchanges and used to fund huge advertising budgets that sucker in more people.
Only modestly more likely to get covid without double vaccination.
+5x more likely to get hospitalized if unvaccinated
+17x more likely to end up in the ICU if unvaccinated
I’m of the belief that Covid is going to be basically over and done with after a peek in hospitalizations that will likely occur in the next 4-5 weeks at most.
Omicron and the following strains will take over and build herd immunity.
We will not be able to keep up with the mutations and spread. It’s now endemic.
Too contagious, so many people getting we will see so many strains and mutations now.
You can bet the answer will be to subsidize local consumption with export taxes. Domestic inflation in poorer commodity producing countries that are exporters will not be tolerated
We are entering a period of global commodity based inflation that will be driven but citizens in Chile and Peru wanting more benefit from copper and other metals. Oil and gas countries the same. Indonesia banning exports as the largest seaborne exporter of #coal
The governments will have to raise wages or create subsidize/export controls to make higher commodity prices affordable for there citizens. If not they will be over run or voted out.
Strikes will be common. The leverage is now flipped to be the producers vs the consumers
$tsla shareholders take such a myopic view when they celebrate and tout the companies performance. Let’s compare to Toyota.
Tsla $1T market cap and just over 1 million cars sold. Hoping for another 50% increase next year. Wow!…so what…
Toyota sells 10mln+ cars per annum
Toyota - The Alternative Powered Vehicles (APVs) category notes a new record with 134,160 in the Q3 (up 69% year-over-year), which stands for almost 28% of the total volume. Year-to-date it is 407,283 (up 123%).
Toyota has committed to spending $70b to ramp up EV sales to 3.5mm to annum level by 2030.
All faith based coins are nothing more than a giant Ponzi scheme. Some stable coins will prove to be legit but I expect very few and those that are will be ones supported by regulated companies.
This giant fraud is being perpetrated greedy people that for the most part know well it’s a giant ponzi. They just hope to profit from it before it blows up. Giant greater fool game built on top of a nasdaq tech bubble
And remember. This is just electricity consumption.
Consider all the fossil fuels used for cars, home heat, boilers, bbqs, stoves, trucks, boats, trains, planes. Etc.
Now also consider fossil fuels used in industry like steel, cement,
Then consider all the fossil fuels consumed in the production of there consumer goods purchased from china or other heavily coal powered countries. All the electronics, the copper, the plastics.
Then consider all the fossil fuels consumed in food production.
