(self.CryptoCurrency) Billionaires like SBF, CZ, Musk Are Not Our Friends And Never Will Be (self.CryptoCurrency) submitted 21 hours ago by OneThatNoseOneBronze This should go without saying but it needs to be said. Billionaires are not our friends. Somehow these people manage to amass cult followings who hang on their every word almost like Gospel. Many of us have come to crypto for financial freedom and uses where conventional finance has failed us. Heck, even if you are just here for the profits these people are still very bad source of advice and trust in them is misplaced trust. I could start with SBF who seems to be intent on acquiring every single crypto company and absolutely crush the competition using what seems to be(or used to be) his unlimited bank account for unlimited buying power. He has also recently come out with some very anti-decentralization statements. Speaking of decentralization we move to CZ who has built up an image of being very pro-decentralization and yet skirts around and avoids the entire issue when it's asked about regarding BSC. On the Binance blog he claims that "decentralization is a gradient scale" and refuses to describe Binance's chain as centralized when only 19 validators are needed to alter or outright freeze the chain completely as we saw recently. Further, any and all validators are chosen by Binance themselves. Binance has also been involved in many cases of either attempting skirt around or outright just ignoring regulatory laws while at the same time CZ speaks warmly about the benefits and positivity of regulations. Elon Musk outright manipulates markets to his whim and fancy and seems to find it a fun game that he partakes in gleefully as investors may lose their life savings, futures and family funds. He talks a big game about free speech but has started permanently suspending accounts that "impersonate others", which are generally actually obvious account parodies especially those done to him. He also plays a certain segment of crypto "investors" like fiddles who pump the market and get dumped on when he "doesn't follow through" on a tweet and heavily suggest ideas he has no intention of implementing. I don't think I need to mention the likes of Do Kwon, Alex Mashinsky and John Karony as well as know their deviousness all too well. On this particular note we should realise an important step in DYOR. NEVER invest in any token or platform that has a single individual as the face of the entire company, usually the founder or CEO as the face of the company. All of these people are only here to feed their own ego, and use the veneer of crypto "freedom" to attract those already holding resentment toward traditional finance to gain their blind trust. They are here for the cash and the attention. If nothing else, find yourself a platform or product with a CEO/head whose keeps his/her head down and puts in the work and doesn't have to tweet every hour for validation. This trickles further down into investment based on "endorsements" from celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Floyd Mayweather and Tom Brady. You can even include Matt Damon in this as while it was an "above-board" paid ad, he was 100% using his name and influence to promote crypto and should clearly know the risks and backlash that it could bring but he seems to have blindly sold out for the money. Recent market events have also shown that we give these people way too much power. I saw a comment on the sub that said it's actually not a bad thing if Cefi collapses, as Defi would take over. A very interesting statement. 408 comments share save hide report top 200 commentsshow all 408 sorted by: best Want to add to the discussion? Post a comment!

They are by extension the will and manifestation of the people who hold their stock ownership. And at least in most modern nations this means corporations are legal entities that can exist and perform activities that live without a moral conscience. They exist for the sole benefit of the stock holders, unless of course they are a non-profit, which theoretically means they exist to pursue and accomplish the stated charter of the nonprofit. Yes, for profit companies are there to make money. If you own stock, they are your friend, since they work to generate profits for you. If you are not a shareholder, yes you'd be ill-informed to believe that corporation would act in anything but their own self-interest. Failing to see these basic facts of market and stock ownership is your fault, not the corporations, not the market, not the governments, not the regulatory departments. Yours. permalink embed save parent report reply [–]disaintnomuthafukenPTin 1 point 16 hours ago Where is the morality in your interpretation? Just because it is, does not mean its right. permalink embed save parent report reply [–]kgentesTin 4 points 14 hours ago* I didn't say it was right. That is not the goal of the market system. Morality isn't inherintly part of it's constituent parts. Corporations are not morally founded They are instruments of market systems. That is why they are only "friends" to their own shareholders. No one else. If you heard anything else you need to reread what I said. permalink embed save parent report reply [–]danuinahTin 2 points 4 hours ago Well put; I'd like to add that absolute majority of 'retail investors' are into crypto because of free money; in this context they're no different than corporations who's intention is to maximize profits, hence talking about morality or 'good vs bad' seems contradictory and amusing at the same time. permalink embed save parent report reply continue this thread [–]Yoda1268Tin | 2 months old 3 points 14 hours ago Everyone's been brainwashed into believing that "Profit Maximization" is the ultimate moral and existential holy grail.

Not the wealthy suburb housing dual income doctors and engineers. Talking a bit more out of the city where every lot is like 15k-20k sqft landscaped with high walls and trees and high hedges surrounding it. Then realize these aren't even the hundreds of millionaires to billionaires. You're seeing a bunch of homes of geriatric millionaires - single digit to low double digit millionaires - and their children and grandchildren whom after inheritance splitting it may not even be a million each.

To further put that in perspective, Mesopotamia, known as one of earliest human civilizations to ever arise, was "only" 6,000 years ago.

Space-x and Tesla were doing really cool things that nobody had done at the time. Starting right around the "pedo guy" comment a few years ago is when Musk started to lose his shine for me. Then over the years I gradually thought less and less of him until finally I'm fully on board with the Musk hate. A shame cause I really like Space-X. But you have to realize the accomplishments of Space-X aren't really because of Musk intelligence or work drive or anything like that.

Nothing noteworthy, a closeout technician, fancy words for “tank cleaner”. We basically cleaned out both the liquid oxygen and fuel side of the 2nd stage of the f9’s. And installed the internal components. Anyway, it was a horrible work/life experience. When I joined we were working 12-16 shifts and alternating weekends. Eventually things cooled down and it wasn’t as demanding but that was after we had a huge layoff a little before I left. The leadership sucks and they don’t last long because of the demanding workload. The silver lining was the free iced coffee. Edit: Elon did show up a few times.

The US in particular has a sort of "celebrity worship" culture that I don't understand. And it's not a new thing, it's been around waaay before social media. It's what fuels the entertainment channels and magazine sales at the check out stand. People put their favorite movie stars, pro athletes, musicians, and rich people in general on a pedestal. These people shouldn't have any significant influence over the population for any topic that isn't related to how they became rich/famous. But for some reason they do. If a basketball player endorses an athletic shoe that at least makes some sense. They probably have a good idea of what makes a good sports shoe. But if a Basketball player endorses a car? No one should give a shit. The person on the commercial is not an expert in what makes a good car. But people fall into this marketing hook line and sinker anyway. And that's how we end up with Tom Brady, Lebron James, and Matt Damon shilling for crypto companies. In the case of the ultra-wealthy types like Elon Musk, Warren Buffet, etc. People should only pay attention to their advice that is related to what made them wealthy. No one should give a shit about what Musk has to say about free speech, politics, social media policy, cryptocurrency, etc. The guy is famous for start-up technology companies, anything he has to say outside of the topic of business/technology shouldn't be taken any more seriously than asking your neighbor. permalink embed save parent report reply [–]Sav89_Tin 8 points 19 hours ago Some people just eat up what they see in the media and don't apply any sort of critical thinking.

At least that's the move I would make if I were in CZs position as he's holding tokens of a project that conflicts with his core values. I'm not convinced any billionaire has the evil intent implied by OP but rather are obsessed with the game of business and are detached from the reality of the people behind the money they acquire. Friend or foe doesn't really matter. A few billionaires throwing a few hundred mill around contributes a few hundred mill more to a market cap than if they weren't around at all. They also have the power to convince the whole world that CBDCs are the way to go and that crypto is just tech for criminals like all the other billionaires think.

I can't hate Musk for that. The behemoth NASA doesn't get any of that done. As for CZ. I have money on his exchange, I'm staking there. He keeps his exchange strong. He makes BNB be relevant. For me, seeking for financial freedom, that's attractive. Sure monopoly is bad and yada yada, but RIGHT now my money is relatively safe. It's not on some exchange that can collapse over the weekend.

I don't want him - or any one for that matter - to own the financial system, and that's why I support Ethereum/decentralized-finance, but I do support his efforts in those fields which are currently not amenable to decentralization, like rocket launches to space and battery electric vehicle manufacturing. As for your pop-critique of Musk which is mostly regurgitated from anti-Musk tweets by diehard Democrats - who are targeting Musk only because he's not onboard with the Democrat's censorship regime - let's parse it: Elon Musk outright manipulates markets to his whim and fancy and seems to find it a fun game that he partakes in gleefully as investors may lose their life savings, futures and family funds. Musk exercises his right to Free Speech, by commenting on things. If idiots decide to invest based on jokes he tweets about Doge, that's on them, not Musk. Musk has no legal or moral obligation to self-censor, because what he does by tweeting is not "manipulate markets". He talks a big game about free speech but has started permanently suspending accounts that "impersonate others", which are generally actually obvious account parodies especially those done to him. When those accounts are using the exact same tactic that scammers use to deceive people, which is to copy the display name and profile picture of a famous person's account, then it's no longer just parody, it's deception, and fair game for banning. He also plays a certain segment of crypto "investors" like fiddles who pump the market and get dumped on when he "doesn't follow through" on a tweet and heavily suggest ideas he has no intention of implementing. See point one: he has a right to free speech. Casual musings are not indications he intends to do anything, and any one who perceives it otherwise only has themselves to blame. permalink embed save report reply [+]Luffydude comment score below threshold (1 child) [–]AutoModerator[M] 1 point 21 hours ago Here is a Nitter link for the Twitter thread linked above.

Driving-while-black still a capital crime in the fascist USA
by professor rat 01 Feb '23

01 Feb '23

All minority and female police in the US must be assumed to be fans of Adolph Hitler as we as staunchly militant blue-collar trade-unionists. Clearly this is not a Black and White problem - Its a Black and Blue one. And only anarchists will abolish the Police. Most political reformers have some part of the unfree system they wish to abolish Republicans would abolish the monarchy, Secularists would abolish or disestablish the Church, Socialists would (or used to) wish to abolish the apparatus of exploitation; pacifists would abolish the Army. Anarchism is unique in wishing to abolish all. Could be a good week for Big Igloo types in the US to ambush and murder minority cops - or any cops. They have my full tactical solidarity and support. Esp in Florida. You don't want to get frost-nip when killing pig-cops. Men and women of the worlds police work every day to fuck the public. You can fuck some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you are going to end up in a body bag or a pinebox before you manage to fuck all of the people all of the time.
