Why not, if enough of those that teump hates does it maybe we will see some movement on laws against it. I hope Hunter Coin takes off.

[-] yesman@lemmy.world 26 points 3 weeks ago

Why not

Because, like most things Hunter has ever done, it's wrong. I don't want a version of MAGA for the left. The left should concede the award for biggest piece of shit; don't even compete for it.

Why would you think Hunter Biden is "left"?

[-] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 weeks ago

"To the left" of whatever MAGA is.

Yeah that's a whole spectrum of people though. I just tire of people thinking everyone left of MAGA is going to work together towards common goals. Mike Bloomberg became a billionaire reminding the world that subscriptions are more profitable long term.

He was probably one of Democrats largest donors. Not for a second should people be thinking that what he wants lines up with what they want. Hunter Biden had familial obligations to be openly supportive of the democratic party. His job descriptions were venture capitalist, investor, and server on the board of a company selling fossil fuels overseas. Nothing about that screams that he wants the same things as I do.

They’ve probably been subjected to American politics since birth and don’t know any better

They aren't going to make laws against grifting. That's their bread and butter. They would double down with more of their own. And people will buy it, once again. Which, caveat emptor, and idiots will be idiots, but it's overall killing the economy and giving the rich even more money.

Hey nobody thought California would have gun control until the black Panthers started to open carry.

We're still doing meme coins? For some reason I thought we'd moved past that.

Have you seen my apes bro? They're gonna be worth so much bro.

[-] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 weeks ago

You jest, but my brother in law has grand plans for the millions he'll make on the crypto he bought years ago.

Any day now...

[-] wheezy@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago

It's funny. I actually bought Bitcoin back in 2013 to purchase some "questionably legal" NFL streaming service. It was like $30 back then. Something like that. I just bought like $500 worth. I figured why not and I just graduated and was making money finally.

In 2015-2016 I sold it and paid off student loans. I had forgotten about it until then. Total fucking luck.

I never ever look back and think "if only I held it!". But, I guess even people that never profited from it are still in the sunk cost fallacy of finding out too late.

It wasn't smart of me to buy Bitcoin in 2013. It was just luck. But for some reason these crypto bros act like anyone that made money from it "earned it". Like they predicted the future or something. They want to be that. It's so fucking wild to me.

all my apes gone.

Crypto market has started to see some recovery since it dumped beginning of last year.

[-] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Can we just jump to the end of this meme coin idiocy and make one called "RugPullcoin™" then go through the inevitable run-up and short order liquidation leaving coin owners holding the bag?

Wonder how long until IOKIYAR gets applied to Hunter on this one.

Since we are talking about voting again and mail-in voting and early voting etc....

I have to laugh that one of the things that made cons so GRRRRR mad about voting in 2020 (besides people having access to mail-in voting during, a, AHEM, pandemic) was early voting. Because by the time their little scheme came along to try to ratfuck the 2020 election over the ~~hard drive~~, oops, I mean, "laptop", in many areas, some people already had the opportunity to vote.

Republicans were (and still are) furious about this. They felt cheated that their stupid little October surprise fizzled because platforms took steps to not spread the disinformation. But also, because voters had already voted, and so it blunted their bullshit's effects.

Republicans were mad that people don't have to stand in line on the very day of the election. Let that sink in. Republicans want YOU to be miserable.

It got rug pulled immediately. Because obviously.
