I was looking for the appropriate German word for ‘rubbernecking’ to append to Schadenfreude , seeing as how the Germans seem willing daisychain just about any number of words. Then I found ‘Katastrophetourismus’ and whelp, here I am, poking around these crypto catastrophes like I’m a tourist and it’s my job. Seriously, this sh*t has been absolutely insane and the bipartisan effort to get Gensler to back off FTX coming out now too?? Nothing on AppleTV is even close to as riveting as the crescendo of these infinitely nested bad ideas, unspooling in real time.

I mean, there's a flood that destroys the world in the Book of Genesis, so. It was there the whole time. Also, it's very funny.

Onboard with your cautionary theme, while as a very early adopter of crypto and monkey jpgs with an infinitesimal cost base can't help notice the irony that this article came at exact bottom (so far) and that monkey jpegs held value better than Tesla shares. Maybe not best comparison to hyper-valued meme stonk, but the monkeys did much better than most everything... including Berkshire by many orders of magnitude if doing the math honestly - https://oneanddone.substack.com/p/hodling-a-crypto-mirror-and-staggering

Where there's chaos there's opportunity.

Actually, it was the year when the world found out that Twitter thrives when worthless apparatchiks (like yourself), who censored their betters 24/7, and actually spread lies while babbling about "misinfo" and "disinfo" - because of course brain-dead dullards (like yourself) can't win in a battle of ideas, so censorship is your only option - get the boot.

The only thing that died in 2022 is your ilk's hegemony. And with no due respect, because scum like you deserve none: good riddance to bad rubbish.

And, of course, because we are dealing with a laughably ludicrous hypocrite here, Babby Eddie is _still_ whining on Twitter.
