More incestuous FTX cronyism:

Quote HistoryQuoted: Isn't this what all the Crypto supporters wanted? Untraceable, uncontrolled funds with no accountability? Lol shock it's all laundered away?! Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: - Guy makes crypto exchange - Guy becomes second biggest crypto exchange - Guy's crypto exchange starts investing to make more money - Guy's investments go south, but no one really knows. - Guy's competitor tweets about it - People panic withdraw - Guy's exchange doesn't have all the money needed to handle requests, so all withdrawals are paused - Guy then starts to pilfer the remaining amount of money, claiming he was hacked. Isn't this what all the Crypto supporters wanted? Untraceable, uncontrolled funds with no accountability? Lol shock it's all laundered away?! When Bernie Madoff scammed people out a millions of dollars you likely weren't crowing about how flawed the dollar is were you? Bitcoin still works. It's still hasn't been broken, corrupted, or otherwise interrupted. What happened with FTX has happened in traditional finance all the time and quite famously. Every time the tide goes out in the stock market you have "respectable" people and institutions whom you find out were making reckless bets backed by their customers assets with a dash of fraud and misrepresentation. |

It makes you wonder, did the Dems just offer up UKR to be slaughtered for the money? I know FTX was shoveling money to the Dems before, but maybe they had their eye on the billion for this year and 2024. FJB slyly gives Putin the nod, The Dems get the Reps. to join them in the shoveling of billions, with a few scraps for Turtle & Co.
Now that its blown up, talk of peace even breaking out. On to the next fleecing. Which I'm sure will be based around our funding of rebuilding UKR. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: More stupid questions Is it possible to create a trustless exchange which exchanges fiat for crypto and vice-versa - all while remaining trustless? How would such an exchange have to be implemented? Does exchanging fiat for crypto etc make it inherently non-feasible for an exchange to be trustless? How does KYC factor into this, if it even does? With fiat? No, totally impossible, by definition. When you transfer your fiat to an exchange to receive a crypto deposit with the exchange, that fiat is transferred into one of the exchange's fiat corporate accounts, and held with a traditional fiat bank. There are some block chains and crypto tech designed around swapping one crypto for another between two parties, but I'm not up to speed enough on it to speak to it intelligently in detail. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: This is what happens when people deal with others who are exactly like they are. What makes them all the same is the predator/prey behavior of seeking to profit from the loss of others. So whoever tries to screw over others makes themselves fair game to get screwed over by others. This is how people get what they deserve. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted:

How would such an exchange have to be implemented? Does exchanging fiat for crypto etc make it inherently non-feasible for an exchange to be trustless? How does KYC factor into this, if it even does? People used to exchange fiat - BTC in person, which is not exactly trustless because there is no guarantee of a mutual exchange. I suppose that scenario could be recreated with a third party acting as enforcer to guarantee the fiat side of the transaction, but Uncle Sam would crap on that especially without KYC. When The Man deploys CBDC fiat, there could theoretically be an exchange that connects CBDC and blockchain for exchange. However, the CBDC by design has built in KYC and Big Brother control of who may make such an exchange. KYC factors in because of government greed and power lust. If you want to do something informal like an in person exchange, black market, or you live in some magical country without a corrupt nanny state, then you could leave out KYC at your discretion and make it trustless with a boomstick. |

How would such an exchange have to be implemented? Does exchanging fiat for crypto etc make it inherently non-feasible for an exchange to be trustless? How does KYC factor into this, if it even does? There are very few ways to on-ramp fiat without KYC but once you have funds onchain you can swap coins in a trustless way on DEXs (decentralized exchanges). You can move funds from your bank to Coinbase and convert to USDC for free. USDC can be directly withdrawn to the Polygon network where you can trade for very low fees. It's possible to bridge the USDC to other blockchains like Avalanche which have native BTC now that can then be withdrawn to a bitcoin wallet without KYC. |

On to the next fleecing. Which I'm sure will be based around our funding of rebuilding UKR. This man was buried in a mass grave. Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one: for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries by a Government, which we might expect in a country without Government, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer. Government, like dress, is the badge of lost innocence; the palaces of kings are built upon the ruins of the bowers of paradise. For were the impulses of conscience clear, uniform and irresistibly obeyed, man would need no other law-giver; but that not being the case, he finds it necessary to surrender up a part of his property to furnish means for the protection of the rest; and this he is induced to do by the same prudence which in every other case advises him, out of two evils to choose the least. Wherefore, security being the true design and end of government, it unanswerably follows that whatever form thereof appears most likely to ensure it to us, with the least expence and greatest benefit, is preferable to all others. |
