Today's Agenda:
FOMC Day đ
Crypto King âď¸
MSTR Buys Dip đ°
Colorado + BTC đĽ
$#17! $160M Hack đ¤
Itâs FOMC day but weâll keep it short and sweet
Basically I just wanna share this:
Itâd be funny if it werenât so pathetic.
Batman Beyond
The Fed has only hiked by 100bps 7 times since WWII đ
They all occurred between 1978 and 1980, meaning itâs been 40 years since things have really gotten this bad, at least in terms of the Fedâs reaction.
One thing that has surely never happened before though..
75bps = bullish đ¤Ą
As we said on Monday, that weekend dip was likely the markets pricing in 75bps, so if thatâs all we get then they should be happy.
100bps = pain đ¤
I think this is all a waste of energy.
Just use BTC đ
And stop trying to call the bottom!
Weâll be back tomorrow in any case to bask in the aftermath đ
We need to talk about this.
First of all.. look at the kid.
I feel like this is what 39-year-old infl00encer Bitboy Crypto (Ben Armstrong) should look like đ
Maybe they should swap names.
Anyway, now realize that people gave our young crypto genius here millions of dollars to invest in crypto, some with the expectation of â10-20% bi-weekly returnsâ.
His company allegedly owes $35M to around 140 investors.
Somehow this is cryptoâs fault đ
Ponzi, thief, grifter, scammer.. these terms are being very casually associated with crypto, and itâs true that crypto presents unique and novel opportunities for scumbags to steal money.
Thereâs a learning curve involved.
Start here:
Also, never share your keys.
And donât sign shady contracts.
Thatâs pretty much it.
Crypto Kingâs lawyer stated in an email to CBC Toronto that his client âstarted investing in cryptocurrency as a teenager and people gave him money to invest once they saw how much money he was making for himself and people around him â but he never solicited money.â
Fine, say thatâs true.
It should still be illegal to take money on the promise of 10-20% bi-weekly returns đ
He says basically that he lost all the money given to him in 2021-22 on margin calls and bad trades - I wouldnât be surprised if he has a LUNA tattoo đ
The best line in the article though has to be:
"He was taking in a lot of money in cash, and well, how do you keep track of cash?"
How indeed đ§
How do you keep track of cash?

Web3 Pipeline đ˘
Saylor bought the dip again - MicroStrategy bought 301 BTC between Aug 2 and Sept 19 for about $6M, according to a filing with the SEC yesterday. The alpha chadâs company now has nearly 130k BTC that they paid a total of $3.98B for. Their average cost is $30,639 per BTC. Theyâre either geniuses or the joke of the decade.
COLORADO BECOMES FIRST US STATE TO ACCEPT BTC AS PAYMENT FOR TAXES - ah yes, now the taxman can rob Coloradans in a cool new decentralized way. Sounds awesome, until you realize they only allow citizens to make their BTC payments through PayPal, which isnât exactly the paragon of decentralized crypto wallets. Still one step toward adoption though, and Colorado has been a trendsetter in the past being one of the first states to legalize marijuana for recreational use.
âProfanityâ cause of $160M hack - this could have been a lead story if it was really about bad words, but I saved you a bunch of corny jokes. Profanity is the name of a service which generates âvanity addressesâ for digital cryptocurrency accounts to make them easier to work with, and it was just last week when the 1inch network blog posted about a potential security risk. Wintermute, a London-based crypto firm that trades $billions worth of digital assets daily, lost $160 million in a hack yesterday.
