Newsletter #347 - Viva Las Liquidations

Hey Shitcoiners,

‍

Bitcoiners were in Vegas. James Wynn was at full tilt. It was a busy week. Let’s start with something to ponder: what if?

‍

After a historic few weeks the crypto markets have been cooling off. Instead of staring at the chart, many of you were in Vegas for what would be the biggest Bitcoin conference ever.

‍

If you were looking for a good time and didn’t have the plug, cryptograffiti was not your guy.

‍

Arguably the most anticipated appearance at the conference was that of Ross Ulbricht. Now a free man, Ross took to the stage.

‍

He came away with more than a keynote talk under his belt. He snagged a duct tape banana. Justin Sun doesn’t miss.

‍

If you have been at a Bitcoin conference over the years, you will have likely seen Lyn Ulbricht. She has been fighting for Ross’ release for years and had the Bitcoin community behind her.

‍

We beat the bastards.

‍

On the topic of returns, welcome back Trace!

‍

Trace did his fair share of educating in the early days. It’s also true that Peter Schiff has been doing free marketing for years.

‍

The shitcoinery infiltrates wherever it can. To the dismay of many maxis in attendance, stablecoins were a hot topic.

‍

Appearing at the Qatar Economic Forum earlier this week, Donald Trump Jr had some insight to share. One of us! One of us!

‍

His dad was hosting a gala dinner for top TRUMP holders earlier this week. The food at these things is always shit.

‍

What was on offer did the token no favors.

‍

No access. A Walmart steak. You just got Trump’d.

‍

Justin Sun doesn’t care about the food though. This man functions on a higher level.

‍

Speaking of steak... Only on ETH.

‍

Unless you have been hiding under a rock, you may have been watching in real-time as the James Wynn lore continued to develop. While the maxis were in Vegas, he was all-in. Shit got real.

‍

With a $1B position open, the consequences were severe.

‍

He told us all he would leave the casino.

‍

But as Alex knows too well, he would be leaving the casino.

‍

According to Cobie we’ve all been there.

‍

Having main character status has its drawbacks. Every wallet is analysed. James was pissed that he was being incorrectly tagged. It just turned out someone was making millions counter-trading him. RIP.
