That's some smart work, right there. Allow a blooming industry with a recent and active history of scams, deceit, poorly conceived algorithms, and flaunting of all laws to get a free pass. That should work out gloriously.

Lawyers representing 3AC’s creditors say the physical whereabouts of Zhu Su and Kyle Davies are “currently unknown.”

During the meeting, representatives helping to facilitate the liquidation requested immediate access to 3AC’s offices and to information related to their bank accounts and digital wallets. As of Friday, that access had not been granted, the filing says.

The filing notes that while the office door was locked, the representatives could view unopened mail addressed to Three Arrows, which “appeared to have been pushed under the door or propped against the door.” Neighbors in surrounding offices said they had last seen people in the 3AC office in early June.

But then you couldn't participate in the crypto ponzi scheme.

https://fortune.com/2022/07/20/tesla...rter-earnings/

Elon Musk swore in March not to sell any Bitcoin, but Tesla cashed out 75% of its Bitcoin holdings amid the crypto winter just months later

Electric vehicle maker Tesla sold $936 million worth of Bitcoin, 75% of its holdings, in the second quarter, according to a shareholder deck released in anticipation of its earnings call on Wednesday.

The company, led by the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, had just $218 million in Bitcoin remaining on its balance sheet, compared to $1.26 billion in the first quarter.

no one in minecraft thinks they are making an investment though, they are clear they are wasting their parents money, occasionally with their parents permission

Artificial scarcity is worse than micro transactions in a similar manner to loot boxes are worth than fixed cost micro transactions.

Limited Sale Cosmetic items are quite literally artificially scarce, and Minecraft churns those out in droves.

Lets not pretend Mojang/Microsoft aren't just publicly jerking off for the publicity here.

Let's not get overly dramatic, they're selling them skins for 5 bucks not taking them into the vestry for a quick Jimmy Savile

Selling $5 skins is the opposite of encouraging profiteering how exactly?

And come on, they do alot more than that.

I haven't looked in this thread for ages (years?), but it kind of amazes me to see there are still some of the same people in this thread still just posting to dump on crypto. Weird.

Enthusiasts continuing to post makes sense to me much more than people who don't like it continuing to post how they don't like it. It would be like someone spending years on a hockey forum posting about how lame hockey is and how they would never watch it.

Anyways, don't let me rain on anyone's parade. Go ahead and do your thing. I was just surprised to see people who dislike it not having simply moved on. That's all.
