God, remember when links to pictures of monkeys were selling for millions and rubes ate it up?
It was not ‘pictures of monkeys’ it was art. It was digital art. If you don’t get that then you don’t understand money laundering.
You can’t money launder with bitcoin. The whole purpose is that everything is traceable.
- Joe gives Kevin $1mil worth of Cocaine.
- Joe draws an ape in MS paint.
- Kevin buys the digital ape drawing from Joe for $1mil in Bitcoin.
That is how you launder money with art and Bitcoin.
This has got to be the most naive statement on crypto and laundering. Crypto are so easily laundered not because of traceability but because of the huge and rapid swings in value, Unexpected wealth is easily justified. Large sums are easily laundered by scripting thousands of transactions.
I still want to know how much money my wife’s dumb ass ex-boss lost when the bubble burst. I think he was in the mid 6 figure range.
Most people who bought them are likely still in the green compared to holding the cryptocurrency they used to purchase them, which itself is with more than the USD used to purchase the crypto.
So you’d probably be disappointed.
What?
It is with a heavy heart I announce the sale of my long term ape, Salazar. Most of my early followers know me as this ape. My kids know me as this ape. I met my wife when I WAS this ape and had my first kid when I was still proudly wore this ape. By extension, it is part of me.
I’m sure his wife and kids are deeply relieved by this news.
Wow, if this is actually sincere and not a gift of some kind… this person is really sad and pathetic.
I wasted 15 minutes of my life to understand why he is staying that “blur” is crashing the price of that jpg
It looks like that there’s a new nft marketplace that created some shitcoin as a reward for users. When someone trades a jpg , the platform print this worthless monopoly money and give as a reward for the user. Because there’s dumb people that is buying this monopoly money thinking that surely it would be worth something, whales are exchanging those jpgs between them in order to get the free monopoly money as a gift, so they can dump them immediately and buy more jpgs to exchange.
What a waste of compute energy
A fun rabbit hole my buddy sent me down a couple weeks ago was how these guys are actually a secret nazi group.
Why not link the original instead of a reaction video?
