And I’m never wrong about this stuff. Never.

that drop was one hour after the latest billion tethers

the new narrative is apparently that the pump is in 90 days when financial advisors are finally ready to push bitcoin ETFs on their customers (for some reason)

ETFs put bitcoin on steroids!! y'know, asthmatic with shrunken balls

the bitcoin market is fake and in tethers, but the retail securities market is real and in dollars

my brother in Satoshi, you are the exit liquidity

yes, feel free to ask some here yourselves

Memestockers will of course double down: https://old.reddit.com/r/BBBY/comments/18nxadz/posting_since_it_wasnt_yet_interpret_how_you_want/

A Toronto-area recuiter has mentioned a suprising amount of money for what appears to be a run of the mill cloud-aware ops job.

Berachain offers generous salaries ($400k) as well as STRONG Token Equity Packages ($300k p.a.) and amazing team culture, with an office based in Toronto

(Obvious answer is that the actual offer is lower, of course.)

I'm figuring the catch is something less obvious than:

• blockchain company
• headquartered in the Cayman Islands (https://twitter.com/berachain, https://github.com/berachain)
• pseudonymous founders pivoted from NFTs (https://finance.yahoo.com/news/defi-focused-layer-1-berachain-130000958.html)

Assuming for this post that this was a $400,000 salary with the usual corporate addons, how would somebody go about finding the catch that the salary is the red flag for?

we had a previous thread on this thing way back when TechTakes moved here, but it deserves a Buttcoin thread too. observe, for your enjoyment(???), an even worse derivative of the reputedly most worthless W3C standard. when you’ve got nothing of value to write about but you need a spec to be taken seriously so you write stuff like this:

The purpose of DIDComm Messaging is to provide a secure, private communication methodology built atop the decentralized design of DIDs.

It is the second half of this sentence, not the first, that makes DIDComm interesting. “Methodology” implies more than just a mechanism for individual messages, or even for a sequence of them. DIDComm Messaging defines how messages compose into the larger primitive of application-level protocols and workflows, while seamlessly retaining trust. “Built atop … DIDs” emphasizes DIDComm’s connection to the larger decentralized identity movement, with its many attendent virtues.

(that typo in the second paragraph of the spec has been there for at least 6 months, cause if anyone went back to proofread this crap they’d probably delete all of it out of embarrassment)

DIDcomm is what happens when crypto folks get invited to join your standards org, and it does to the spec writing process what crypto and AI did to whitepapers: it’s all extreme filler to mask the lack of an idea, built on top of a spec that famously specifies nothing

to help kick off the new federated home of sneering at crypto and meme stocks, enjoy a mask off look at what these fucking fools intend to do to the nocoiners if they’re ever given an ounce of actual geopolitical power

By popular demand, awful.systems ("the jank is a feature") is now hosting a sub for hurling ordure at crypto dweebs of all sorts. We are only here for debate as long as it amuses us. Meme stocks are also on topic.

There was a buttcoin at https://kbin.social/m/Buttcoin but it never took off and is basically dead. Let's see how we go here. Tell your fellow crypto sufferers!

We're in the Fediverse so you should be able to read and post from other Lemmy servers, from some Mastodon/*oma/*key servers and maybe from kbin servers if the sunspots are aligned, as well as from awful.systems itself. Federation is sorta clunky. The URL to follow is: https://awful.systems/c/buttcoin
