Apes Vs. Crabs
It's the free one!
We have discovered a plot to build a cryptocurrency paradise on a minor island in the nation of Vanuatu that happens to be loaded with coconut crabs. We have no idea if this is going to work out but we're sure it definitely has no structural issues that come to mind. We also read the article about 'woke men with beards' because it's a reminder that, after all, we live in Britain.

Mark my words, Makerdao is going to be the Cryptocurrency that we have to suffer through hearing more of, because for all it's insanity, it's one of the few crypto projects that actually does something. Dao's are really just, blockchained impossible (or at least very hard) to regulate corporations, and Maker's actual business model isn't simply providing a stable coin. No, the stablecoin exists only to facilitate providing liquidity and leverage for highly illiquid assets in exchange for high interest rates. That's why most of their reserve isn't assets, it's other stable coins. Vault owners needed to pay up to keep their assets from being liquidated, so they bought other stable coins, put them in a vault for DAI, and paid off their debt. And tragically, an unregulated corporation dealing in illiquid assets has a lot more capacity to fester and grow than the dime a dozen pump and dumps we keep seeing, there's an actual profit to be made.
Picasso could paint everything perfectly at 18 then spent his whole life trying to paint like a Chiles.
I feel like sometimes the nature of the scam gets overlooked in these "crypto projects." The idea isn't to actually set up this island / sell nugs / put medical records on the chain, the idea is to sell other people on the idea that this project will happen and that all the people involved will need the currency, so that the intended mark buys as much as possible (so that they'll be able to name the price when the idiots come crawling to them for tokens). That's where the money comes from- selling the idea of one day being the boot. The actual project is completely incidental.
I don't know how likely it is, but... Can somebody watch the latest rowling movie and tell me I am not insane? I watched the latest movie of JK Rowling and its... It is just how I believe columnists precieve the world. Its a sequence of scenes. "Oh, this looks nice..." and then you move on to a different scene, which is only connected because it comes afterwards. I am becoming insane, because I remember the previous scenes. And I left the cinema, thinking: "Wait, is this whole movie about corbyn again?!" BBEG (is it still voldemort?) becomes a candidate in the upcoming superwizard election. This happens in germany (which I know, because there were knight statues with nazi helmets). But there was an earlier undemocratic method, where a magic bambi would select the future leader. The day is saved when the guys get magic bambi to select another person than the BBEG. BUT THAT MEANS THEY DESTROYED DEMOCRACY. This happens in between the flashy scenes. In the end the good guys talk about "saving the world". But hang on, democracy has been destroyed. Letting magic bambi elect the leader is not democratic. Its the old ways, AS YOU SAID IN the previous scenes of the movie I am watching. Have directors and Rowling lost their long term memory in solidarity with the columnists?
hehe, nice try. you almost convinced me but theres no way that happens in the movie
♫ But there are No Crabs in Satoshi Land ♫ ♫ And the streets are paved with Teëns ♫
Jerk van der clerk hitting a giant crab with another crab is a 10/10 t-shirt idea
still gunning for Kill Hideo Kojima
We need a TF adaptation of Molière’s le Tartuffe, but call it le Tarterf
I'd be surprised if it was 200 hours before there were major sex crimes on the crypto island.
An underrated part of Milo's South African soldier of fortune character (after how much Riley loves it of course) is how he nails the way that expats of that sort will just tell you a completely ridiculous story that's probably true as a tangent to something else. That throwaway line about 7.62 mm rounds melting in the face of crabs gave me the most bizarre Proustian reverie from when I had Afrikaner clients.
So in facts that i hate that i know there actually is a line of nft crabs whose main USP over all the other NFTs like it is they look to the LEFT instead of the right... Has this broken out into a bidding/land war yet? and when it does will Riley report on the absolute fetid clownshoes depths humanity has sunk to like it's another news item?
So, they’re gonna park a cruise ship near the island? Can’t wait until the nonce murder boat gets raided by pirates.
Ah yes, the famous Crab Ape from Spy Kids 2.
Collateralising farms with NFTs? More like the Apes of Wrath, am I right
