Greg Johnson of Counter-Currents, who supports creating a white âethnostate,â purchased almost thirty when they were worth less than $10 a pop, according to the SPLC.
I find it hard to believe someone named âGreg Johnsonâ would be involved with a white ethnostate.

If crypto is better thought of as a replacement for gold rather than of fiat money, has anyone compared the environmental cost of mining crypto vs mining actual gold?
in dollar terms, actual mining cost a lot cheaper for crypto and way fewer children from 3rd world countries
This appears to be one:
âBitcoin could be running on a majority combination of stranded, waste, and renewable energy by the end of the decade. Using the current global average grid figure of about 0.6 tons of CO2 per kWh of electricity produced, Bitcoin mining emits 70 Mt of CO2 annually.â
âAlthough the comparisons are not like-for-like, and with only Bitcoinâs scope of energy use and emissions being 100% defined, we can say that Bitcoin consumes/emits less than half of what the gold mining industry does, and less than one-fifth of what bank branches and ATMs do.â

let me get this straight, one person dies of omicron, which is covid, which has been killing people all along and the first thing some people think is to sell all their cryptocurrency.

Stan Leeâs ghost is selling NFTs of a Hindu superhero who apparently has a Star of David on his chest for some reason.

Just the other day I was thinking to myself, âYou know what would really great? If we could have a Hong Kong-based company create a metaverse populated with artificial intelligence NFTâs based on their real world anthropomorphic robots. Thatâs exactly the sort of totally not creepy as fuck dystopia I want to see!â

The first thing the AI learned was to pimp their socials at every opportunity. My first words were âlike and subscribeâ.
The NFT we were all waiting for:
