Shitcoin.com Newsletter #9 (September 15th, 2018)

Hello Shitcoiners,

Before we get into it, we’ve realised it might not have been clear how to invite your friends to this spicy content. Just hit this “Forward” button below spread the word (it's also at the end of every newsletter).

So let’s get to the good stuff. In this weeks edition of the Shitcoin.com Newsletter we talk boats, hoes and Bitcoin icons.

Even in a bear market this space never fails to disappoint.

First off, let's go mainstream. When Bloomberg are shouting about the crypto market crash surpassing dot com levels it hits home that you’re diet of canned beans is probably pushing the boat out.

Greener times may (or may not) come, but let’s all focus on handling this like the Bitcoiners of The Great Sideways would.

On the topic of water. When times are rough and the bear market is in full swing, what should you do?

Go on a cruise… with people who talk shit about you on Twitter of course!

Last week saw the latest instalment of the Coinsbank Cruise. We have heard reports of some spicy goings on. A ‘swag pack’ of condoms and pregnancy tests for every attendee, ICO fund splurging.

Oh, and the best bit of all?

150-200 Eastern European ladies of leisure on a ship full of crypto dudes. So many scovilles.

It seems the budget for the cruise was not limited to Russian hookers either. As one of crypto’s most interesting characters, John McAfee, gave some insight into his requirements.

We can only think the cruise buffet food was laced with Tapatio sauce because boy was this ship hot on the mouth.

Thank you Derek Magill for the amazing coverage on this one.

One of the most anticipated “debates” of the cruise was between self proclaimed Bitcoin cowboy Jimmy Song and Roger Ver.

Before they even got started Jimmy threw a bit of a hissy fit as he claimed Roger had stacked the audience against him.

Then when they finally got to the stage Jimmy proceeded to read a script word for word.

After Jimmy stormed off a shirtless Tone Vays took to the stage to debate Roger. We’ve got to say, Tone must have been working out. For once we were not on the lookout for that terrible haircut.

Our good friends at Coinspice invited our very own Shitcoin.com CEO Andreas onto their Youtube channel for a few G&T’s and a viewing of the Roger Ver vs Jimmy Song / Tone Vays debate.

Mashable even got in on the action and gave it some coverage.

Next time Coinsbank should probably splurge some of that seemingly endless budget on a moderator.

Or at least one not as biased as this.

After McAfee left proceedings at the cruise, McAfee stopped off at the Futurama conference in Ibiza. He gave a little insight into why he never drops into Vegas.

And he also shared his despair at the levels of poverty he saw on the white isle.

Ethereum shits the bed

Meanwhile, in Ethereum news the popular #2 has been tanking (and taking most of the ERC20 market with it).

Vitalik took to Twitter to confirm that he never promised Lambos. The respondents to his tweets really tell you something about where we’re at right now.

One of our favourite personalities, the man who let’s you have 100x leverage (here’s our referral link if you’d like to try) has been getting in on the action.

He loves stirring the shit and we love it.

We know you won’t probably listen and will just go balls deep with 100x anyway, but here is a story about what can happen when you get too excited about having access to BitMEX.

On the topic of crypto bereavement, the granddaddy is of all Ponzi schemes has finally been deemed worthless. We will miss you Carlos, you will never be forgotten.

Another shitposting extraordinaire gave the best rebuttal to a claim that he should stop giving financial advice.. Enter, @ActualAdviceBTC.

Erik under fire

News surfaced last week of Shapeshift introducing KYC. It looks like Erik Vorhees is under pressure from the powers that be.

Some are taking this opportunity to discuss some of the interesting activities Erik has been involved in before.

Others are taking the chance to recognise what he has done for the space.

With the paradigm shift at the forefront of your mind, Another Erik gave an interesting statement. Supposedly cryptocurrency is not a vehicle for state abolition. That’s news to us!

What is a Shitcoin newsletter without a little BTC/BCH mudslinging? Paul from the Bitcoin Cash Association used a little imagery to get his point across.

In some actual news, Money Button was finally released this week!

And that's a wrap! What a week.

Remember, need 100x leverage? Use Andreas’ referral link on BitMEX.

Till next time Shitcoiners!
