jonsykkel[busybot]: true theres no "hackings" etc in reich assets

jonsykkel[asciilifeform|busybot]: but those also dont have the same hype waves or watever that can at least in theory explain some of btc style crashes (if exch rate is mostly artificialy inflated, is it really a crash)

jonsykkel[asciilifeform|busybot]: im dont really know how to make sense of it

jonsykkel[asciilifeform|busybot]: legit(tm) place to spend somwat similar how they kiled p2p file sharing

jonsykkel[asciilifeform|busybot]: atempts to outright ban failed, so lower pleb expectations of quality until happily acept sewer slop version of item

jonsykkel[asciilifeform|busybot]: anonymus p2p netwokr of free quality warez sharing -> netflix sewerslop subscription to keep slave entertained enough so no riot

jonsykkel[asciilifeform|busybot]: anonymus p2p curency that makes savings posible for pleb -> paperized, kycized, taxed, privacy nightmare

bitbot[asciilifeform]: (asciilifeform) 2021-07-07 asciilifeform: thestringpuller: imho the current exch rate consists largely of air, and is in fact part of the current lizard ploy to 'drop btc from a plane without a parachute' by pumping and periodically dumping

dulapbot: (asciilifeform) 2020-05-05 asciilifeform: it worx because there's a neverending supply of a) dumb shits who see 'paper gold' as == to actual b) greedy shits who want 'leverage'

bitbot[asciilifeform]: (asciilifeform) 2022-01-15 asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2022-01-14#1072938 << imho the enemy's strategy is presently to 'raise it to stratosphere then drop outta plane' periodically.

dulapbot: (asciilifeform) 2022-01-14 mats: bitcoin had no business going to 20k

dulapbot: (asciilifeform) 2021-12-29 asciilifeform: usg's entire anti-btc strategy currently seems to reduce to 'turn it into speculative hell', lest it become the obvious go-to inflation shelter
