I did some research on creating a #stablecoin a year ago. I was debating doing a #uranium backer coin. 1lb U3O8 per coin. I spoke to some top lawyers, bankers and brokers about the project. In the end, although it would be a worthwhile project and…
The #nuclear industry and the #uranium mining industry would benefit from it, I decided to put the project on hold indefinitely. Why? Because legal experts made it perfectly clear to me that crypto coins clearly fall under the definition of securities and the corresponding regs
To deal in securities you 100% must follow all the banking and brokerage dealer rules. ‘Know your client’, ‘anti money laundering is rules, huge amounts of disclaimers and docs required. Huge fees to pay to launch. Equivalent to and IPO that also requires investors be accredited
And because there is no clear regulations at this time I would be taking massive risk of being sued if something goes wrong. Not protection for me and none for the buyers. Regulated exchanges also have liquidity, margin and asset requirements. Crypto exchanges scare me
Their disclosures are weak and I have little trust (zero faith actually) in any of them. I wouldn’t dare open a wallet with these jack asses and dump millions of hard earned dollars in. Fear of ‘socialized loses’, wallet theft, is too great a risk as it’s impossible to calculate
All these coins are risky garbage and the exchanges are a nightmare. So many shady characters in the space. Many convicted criminals, profession money launderers.
I call @stablekwon an asshole cause I’ve read a bunch of his arrogant posts where he states that he ‘doesn’t debate the poor on twitter’ and bragging about how he hob knobs with billionaires. Meanwhile he knows better.. he surely has had the same legal opinions I’ve been given
Reckless and douchey… that’s what I think he is. Hope that there’s a successful class action lawsuit that gives him a taste of justice. Sadly, I expect many will get away with way more than they should. White collar crime wrist slaps and affordable fines.

Do Kwon is so full of shit… he’s nothing more than a huckster. The reality is the garbage coins he made can’t hold the peg when Bitcoin goes down. His coins basically offered people no upside but all the bitcoin downside
This crap he’s dishing out with his swappy techie speak (designed to fool the financially incompetent amongst you) is pure BS. In simple English what he’s saying is they can’t keep the peg so they are trying to absorb willing sellers at a discount to the true nav.
Because these unregulated piece of shit coins operate as they choose they don’t have to disclose what the fucking nav actually is. They obviously have billions in bitcoin and can sell bitcoin and buy back their UST and ‘burn them’. If they do so at a deep enough discount…
There should be little doubt in peoples minds that this will happen to all the bullshit crypto coins and the stable coins that actually have some backing will trade at a discount to NAV. All of them will. Cause the crypto ecosystem can’t pay its bills
This joke of a stable coin promised to hold a pet to $1 usd by investing in bitcoin. But when bitcoin got cut in half they couldn’t hold the peg anymore. Cause they simply don’t have the assets to do that.
Next up is Tether a stable coin run by excons that are in hiding and afraid to come to America and be arrested. First they say they were backed 1 to 1 with usd. But then admitted they aren’t but claimed to have some ‘Comercial paper’. It’s sad anyone believes these fuckers
Someone needs to update the description so it ends with ‘but it’s fucked and is blowing up along with the Terra Luna bullshit ponzi’
What will always blow my mind is that these exchanges like kraken have been able to open accounts or wallets etc for people and let them trade in these ponzi coins with so little protection for people. All because most crypto exchanges have taken liberties
Operating in a poorly/often unregulated environment. Wild West trading and advertising space. People have been buying based on ads they saw showing charts that always go up and tickers that are always positive. Average Joe was marketed a get rich quick scheme and many bought it
Some day this will all be fully understood by the markets and regulators who imho will call foul. ‘Stable coins’ like these are a fucking joke and will prove to be anything but stable when the tide goes out. This is a bullshit confidence game.
It apparels too me like $750mln in swaps to give the appearance of Bitcoin being bought with newly created UST. It’s all a game being played to try to get new traditional currency to flow into the corrupt crypto ecosystem that only burns actual currency. The sector is imploding
It needs to be constantly fed new dollars from new succeed or else the industry players can’t pay there real world bills. Matt fucking Damon don’t work for free ya know? Gots to pay for stadium names with actual dollars. Private jets and fuel got to be paid in $$$
As I’ve toured the USA this past month I’ve continually come across situations that make me think inflation is still just getting started. For example: even in the swamps of Louisiana where 110 million lbs of crawfish are harvested each year they are lamenting…
High input cost inflation. Fuel for the boats, costs of nets or there materials, difficulty getting parts for engine repairs, then after selling their catch the income doesn’t go far at home as food and energy costs are running so high. Seafood prices must go up to fund industry
Cost of freezing, shipping and storage all up. But these price increases don’t move through the system as quickly as we see the price of oil or gas run up. It takes a few quarters of pain in the chain before producers feel theirs no choice but to force hikes
@c15575807@AndrewCrain18@quakes99 I bought 1/4 to 1/3 position. I had debated going to 19.9% of the company if I felt the new underground development would be commissioned under the budget as management indicated. Bought several million shares. I got sucked in to buy more after the last raise
@c15575807@AndrewCrain18@quakes99 I figured deal buyers were just flipping shares and holding the full warrant and it was enough of a discount to pay me. But sadly despite upsizing the capital raise the cost increases along with surprise grade declines at the existing operations really put the squeeze on them
@c15575807@AndrewCrain18@quakes99 I actually think there’s likely more to their problems than we know or management may admit to. I don’t think the operators (contract) are properly incentivized and as a result performance problems may be ‘more complicated’.
