Haha, I'll give you 100 CocoCoins if you can define what makes a cryptocurrency "fake" rather than real.

This headline should probably say "FBI create a cryptocurrency to expose..."

That said there are only a few cryptocurrencies I would call worthy of note or respect.

The difference between a theist and an atheist is believing in one fewer God.

Polytheists are theists too

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 days ago

Holy Trinity is basically tritheism.

[-] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

The difference between atheist and theist is the belief in N fewer gods, where N is the number of gods the theist believes in.

It's complicated. They are three but they are one according to their dogma.

For me it's a bullshit threshold: if you swallow this paradox, you'll be ready to accept more.

COX: Drug traffickers love gizmos. They love gadgets. And if they have something like, ooh, the app is hidden behind a calculator, they think that's amazing, and they want to buy it.

TIL drug traffickers have the mindset of a teenage boy looking for ways to hide porn.

They're like regular people who don't know our entire tech stack is fully sodomized by glowies. Basically every electronic object in your house is permasnitching your business to the state should and their vampite friends

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

For every teenage boy you catch looking at porn, there are a hundred you missed.

Yeah I just assume everything that I own is completely hacked already.

NexFundAI, as per information on the website, was marketed as redefining the "intersection between finance and artificial intelligence" and that its aim was to "create a cryptocurrency token that not only serves as a secure store of value but also acts as a catalyst for positive change in the world of AI."

Even though it's not obvious it was a government run "scam"/operation this website screams scam.

[-] Vilian@lemmy.ca 30 points 6 days ago

Every cryptocurrency website scream scam

[-] ours@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Just like the "Nigerian prince scams". Yes, they are obviously a scam to most of us. But to the few ignorant/naive people who don't, they're the victims worth pursuing by the scammers. We are not the audience.

Lol at all the people deleting their comments or getting downvoted heavily. You are the target audience. This is either a warning to get your shit straight or nuke your hard drive. Dealers choice... Take a hint boys.

Focus on cryptocurrency but ignore the blatant connivance on Wall Street. Sounds about right.

[-] rbesfe@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 days ago

Wash trading is also illegal on wall street

I'm glad it's just a bunch of rich assholes who went down, and not* people only doing this to survive. They get what they fucking deserve.
