i guess "god's wrath will throw fire upon the sodomites" is what passes for a #libertarian take in 2025, because this is one of the main guys trying to build the #NetworkState.

(he's the CEO of #Praxis, "the world's first digital nation" that's funded by a lot of the crypto bros including Peter Thiel, #Balaji, Joe Lonsdale, the #Winklevoss twins, #Paradigm (big crypto fund), a #Worldcoin guy, and a bunch of others). cc: @gilduran.com @gilduran

$215 million fine for a San Francisco based AI/fintech (and I'm assuming crypto) VC fund GVA Capital that was laundering money for russian oligarchs (at least until someone makes some "arrangements" with the #Trump family)

few understand the extent to which a lot of these tech VC funds exist mainly as ways to launder / re-onshore criminal assets...

If Elon Musk had only 300 million dollars we wouldn't have to care what he thinks. But because we didn't tax billionaires enough...

"Now they have so much wealth that their bad ideas have a gravitational force that can bend society."

2/ In other "crypto scammers visiting El Salvador to immanentize bitcoin fascism" news, #MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor, the man who owns more bitcoin than anyone (much of it bought with borrowed money in what will probably turn out to be history's largest pyramid scheme) flew to San Salvador to visit Bukele on February 13th.

billionaire #broligarch, legendary SPAC fraudster, and co-host of The All-In Podcast with David Sacks #Chamath makes video explaining how easy and cheap it is to buy favours from the Trump administration and complaining the Democrats wouldn't even return his phone calls despite all the money he gave them.

I kind of feel like this video should be turned into a democratic campaign ad.

#Ripple, a shitcoin pump and dump company convicted of massive securities law violations, buying a tradfi ("traditional finance") prime broker is a perfect example of the crypto industry making big moves to take over and integrate with america's existing financial system in a way that will be very hard if not impossible to unravel.

All of the money for this corporate takeover came from dumping Ripple's #XRP tokens on retail suckers.

Also Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse was one of the 2024 election's biggest donors.

RippleRipple Acquires Prime Broker Hidden RoadRipple announced it is acquiring Hidden Road for $1.25 billion, representing one of the largest deals in the digital assets space, and becoming the first crypto company to own and operate a global, multi-asset prime broker. Learn more about the deal.

My 2 cents for the normie board & maybe the fascism-deniers in your life. I firmly believe that the billionaire's long-term plan is a technofeudalism & fascism is the tool they're using to get there.

The goal is to send us back to feudalism. Trump may not know that, but his handlers do.

Unfortunately, slavery is currently legal and constitutional if you've been convicted of a crime. For citizens and not just Venezuelan "gang members". Thanks 13th ammendment. 🙄

As soon as you let what they have been putting in books and podcasts for years regarding #NetworkStates sink in, current events aren't nearly as confusing or surprising. The #NerdReich is how they plan to control people while they reduce the population to a more "efficient" level.

So as you see, the fascism and the feudalism are intertwined. It's all one fight. #PitchforksUp
