    The stupidest thing about Trump is that he could have extorted billions of dollars out of the Saudis on Inauguration Day. Even Team Rocket could have figured that out.

    When Trump says he’s “pro crypto”, this is what he means.

    Meanwhile the SEC under Biden/Harris has helped crypto by targeting actual scams like this one.

    So in case you have a friend who’s a crypto bro, remind him who has actually helped and who called Bitcoin a scam.

      I started reading it as Trump, but it quickly devolved into redneck hillbilly, and honestly both work

    I hate to be a buzzkill, but the odds are he will win in 17 days. We need to make preparations for the long and difficult road that faces us. I don’t know what that means, maybe you do.

      I keep seeing posts that polls show it’s 50-50 but polymarket has Trump’s odds at 60, Harris’ at 40 with over $2B in wagers. Terrifying.

        Many people who gamble big money go by past divergences between polls done before, and exit polls done after. These can vary between 5% to 10% , which is important when the published count is almost 50:50 in some states.

        Many US states violate UN practices for free and fair ballot counting, and while this is blindly ignored for decades, it shows up in the odds. People in the USA tend to talk about this as the shy republican effect, and other names.

        At the same time, I do not trust the polls being done now, because most people do not answer phone, text or email about asking, given there are so many scam polls out, so I have to wonder how this skews the results.

        I would totally use the bookie odds and ignore the polls

          Polls also only try to measure public opinion and don’t quantify the very real effects that the vast toolkit of dirty tricks play in the election process, including whatever October surprises are lurking around the corner.

            My big issue is the hidden vote counting, lack of recounts, and the exit polls being so unreliable in many states to choose the winners. So, unreliable, that all the major networks stopped using them after 2018 to call elections and fewer exit polls are being done. Exit polls have been established as good tools since the past 300 years. And when they consistently give bad calls, that area has always had ballot stuffing, or the electronic version of that

            In my opinion, hidden ballot counting with bad exit polls will outweigh any other issues

    Huh. From what I’ve searched, WLFI comes with its own warning on coingecko, a site that supposedly tracks various cryptocurrencies.

    According to GoPlus, this is a proxy contract. The contract owner can make code changes to the token contract including but not limited to disabling sells, changing fees, minting, transferring tokens etc. Exercise caution.

    No active trades are found for this coin.

    Emphasis mine.

    WLFI has a current value of $0.0000000000034 USD.

    That’s about 3 billion WLFI for 1 penny. What a deal!

      According to this article, they “sold 846.63 million tokens valued at $12.7 million” on the first day, leaving “19.1 billion coins worth $287 million unsold”.
      At the current price, $12.7 million USD would require 65,376,030 Trillion WLFI, so to get the money back you just have to own 3.2 billion times more WLFI tokens that exist.
