Caroline (CEO of Alameda Research) has a tumblr account called "worldoptimization."
Her kink is men who control most major world governments, low risk aversion, responsible for important scientific discoveries
No kidding 😂
FTX had $1.4bn in BTC liabilities (~80k BTC) but didn't own a single #Bitcoin on their balance.
Yet, the BTC they "issued" absorbed buying pressure from real BTC as people trusted them, essentially expanding the M2 supply of BTC. FTX was a crypto central bank.
Essentially what’s needed going forward is #ProofOfReserves from every centralized crypto exchange or a crypto fund. If they don’t show their reserves, just treat them as scammers & fraudsters. There’s no more second chances in crypto.
Sam from FTX made a global impact for good alright… he woke every one in the world to take #ProofOfReserves seriously. If there is any centralized entity with out it, it’s a fraud 🤷♂️
Warren Buffett & Charlie Munger on crypto currencies in 2018.
Crypto attracts a lot of charlatans trading currencies and starting exchanges… it will end badly
Who knew… they were right 🤷♂️
#ProofOfReserves is a must for centralized entities handling crypto going forward. Even with proof of reserves, there are shady things happening behind the scenes like once you get a snapshot, moving funds to other exchanges for double counting.
Hong Kong based AAX crypto exchange today suddenly announced the suspension of all operations, including trading, withdrawals, etc - promise that they will try to restart everything in 7-10 days.
How to launder money 🤷♂️
How come all the corrupt scumbags care about the planet & humanity so much that they guard against pandemics, hurricanes to save y’all 😂
The statement that "more squirrels and raccoons have been arrested than Epstein clients" highlights a stark disparity between the enforcement of minor, even absurd, regulations and the apparent reluctance to pursue justice against powerful individuals implicated in Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal network. In late 2024, the case of Peanut the Squirrel and Fred the Raccoon captured public attention when New York’s Department of Environmental Conservation raided Mark Longo’s home, seizing and euthanizing these animals over claims of illegal possession and rabies risks. The operation involved multiple agents and hours of effort, showcasing a swift and decisive response to what many saw as a trivial violation. This incident, amplified by social media outrage, underscores how authorities can mobilize resources to "arrest" or address wildlife-related issues, even when the targets are harmless pets, while seemingly ignoring far graver human crimes.
In contrast, the Epstein case—despite overwhelming evidence of a sex trafficking operation involving influential figures—has seen remarkably little accountability for his clients. Epstein, a financier with ties to politicians, billionaires, and royalty, was arrested in 2019 and died in custody, officially ruled a suicide, though conspiracy theories abound. Court documents unsealed in recent years name numerous associates, yet few, if any, of these high-profile individuals have faced arrest or prosecution. The disparity fuels public frustration: while a squirrel’s fate can prompt a government raid, the powerful men who allegedly exploited minors alongside Epstein remain largely untouchable, shielded by wealth, status, or legal loopholes. This juxtaposition paints a compelling picture of a system that prioritizes the enforcement of petty rules over the pursuit of justice for heinous crimes, leaving society to question where true accountability lies.
The influence of corporate money in politics is a pervasive force that often shapes government inaction on issues like genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Companies like Bayer and Monsanto, with their deep pockets and extensive lobbying networks, have the resources to sway policymakers in their favor. They contribute millions to political campaigns, ensuring that elected officials remain sympathetic to their interests. This financial leverage creates a system where legislation or regulation that might harm these corporations’ bottom lines—such as banning or heavily restricting GMOs—is quietly sidelined. The revolving door between government agencies and corporate boardrooms only deepens this entanglement, as former industry executives often take regulatory roles, bringing their biases with them.
Beyond direct political influence, these corporations have mastered the art of shaping public perception through partnerships with universities and media outlets. By funding research at academic institutions, they can produce studies that downplay or dismiss health concerns related to GMOs, lending a veneer of scientific legitimacy to their products. These studies are then amplified by media campaigns, often subtly sponsored or influenced by the same corporations, to reassure the public that GMOs are safe and necessary for feeding a growing population. Dissenting voices—independent researchers or whistleblowers raising red flags about potential health risks—are drowned out or discredited, leaving regulators with a convenient excuse: the “science” isn’t conclusive enough to justify action.
Finally, the government’s inertia can be attributed to a broader economic calculus that prioritizes short-term gains over long-term public health. GMOs are deeply embedded in the agricultural industry, which contributes significantly to GDP and employs millions. Disrupting this system by cracking down on GMO foods would ripple through the economy, threatening jobs, trade relationships, and corporate profits—consequences no administration wants to face. Politicians, wary of being labeled as anti-business or anti-progress, opt for the path of least resistance, allowing these food giants to operate with minimal oversight. Meanwhile, any evidence of harm to human health is buried under bureaucratic delays or dismissed as anecdotal, preserving the status quo where profit trumps precaution.
In a society where ninety-nine are weak,
Catering to one percent, the woke mind virus we seek.
We bend, we twist, in endless contortions,
For those whose views demand our constant attention.
Enough is enough, we must stand and say,
No more to the norms that lead us astray.
We're lost in a maze of virtue so fake,
Where common sense and reason are hard to make.
Break the shackles of this modern-day plight,
Where speaking freely invites social fight.
We've tiptoed around, afraid to offend,
But now is the time to make our voices blend.
Let's reclaim the ground where logic once stood,
Where truth wasn't buried under virtue's wood.
We'll rise from the shadows, no longer confined,
To a world where the sane are not redefined.
Enough with the madness, the guilt, and the shame,
We'll break these chains in freedom's name.
For unity, not division, we'll strive,
In a society where all can truly thrive.
