this screed follows directly on from discussion of peter thiel being linked to #FTX and it's not hard to see how if there was someone who wanted to try and make people stay away from bitcoin the best way is to make a shitload of scammy copycats and orchestrate massive frauds and then say #bitcoin in the same sentence or paragraph as these things

this is an affinity scam, not only do the scammers ride bitcoin's good reputation the glowies are flipping that around to smear bitcoin as being any relation to these rackets

i guarantee that shitcoins are maybe as much as 90% fronts or handled by spooks for this exact purpose, and not just any spooks, primarily US/UK spooks

the reality is that all the dirt and scams are mainly about robbing people of bitcoin and the scams are partly to rake in black money for spook operations they also have the extra benefit as acting as a smear on bitcoin

meanwhile goldbug wankers like the one that wrote this bullshit think that gold is oh so much better when the supply is almost completely monopolized by central banks and the commodity markets that trade in them on paper are all rigged and highly inflated with fractional reserve fake paper that can never be redeemed as physical

sad that people who already understand some of this stuff about comex being a mechanism to suppress gold prices don't recognise that bitcoin is falsely associated with a massive industry of financial scamming that aims mostly at piling up stacks of actual money... ie, bitcoin
