People are so broken over his meme coin.
People gravitate towards convenience. Believing the news and the government is easy and convenient. Thinking for yourself and acting on those thoughts is challenging and takes effort. Many donāt want to go through all of that.
Just finished. Improved by 8 minutes (35->27) and almost every round I used less breathes. But man the lower back is crushed. I tried on Wednesday and got halfway when my back felt like it was going to explode. I think once a week is good.
Gamblers get rugged all the time.
Ok.
So here is the NOSTR version of my Tweet this morning about $TRUMP
So, why did $TRUMP choose to start a shitcoin and why on Solana?
Shall we follow the 'MoNeY' to find out if there are any conflicts of interest and misaligned incentives?
1. Who is David Sacks and why was he chosen to be the CrYptO Czar for Trump's administration?
He is a general partner of Craft Ventures, a venture capital fund he co-founded in late 2017.
Craft ventures focus on 'Leaders in B2B software'.
And also seem to have a keen interest on anything Musk is building.
Including:
Space X
X
XAi (grok)
and even The Boring Company, weird.
Ok, so is there any connection to Musk?
https://craftventures.com/portfolio
2.
Well, yes and more than both being South African-Americans.
Musk and Sacks are connected through Paypal.
Sacks was COO whilst Musk was CEO.
Nicely sitting atop the tree of the Paypal Mafia.
3. But what does this have to do with Solana, the appointment of Crypto Czar or the TRUMP shitcoin?
Well, we now have to assess whether or not there is a conflict of interest, signs of insider trading or nepotism.
So let's dig in.
Sacks also invested, via Craft Ventures into another fund called MultiCoin.
Here is his own article about why:
https://multicoin.capital/2018/03/12/why-we-invested-in-multicoin/
4. Who are Multicoin?
"As a crypto-native fund, we actively engage and participate in the networks we invest in. Moreover, we are intimately familiar with the crypto technology landscape and market structure. We are hands-on investors, and will do everything in our power to maximize the success of our portfolio companies."
https://multicoin.capital/about/
5.
So to recap, Sacks, through Craft Ventures now has a direct interest in the success of any companies that MultiCoin have invested in.
Who, to use their own words from their own website "will do everything in our power to maximize the success of our portfolio companies".
Ok, so who do MultiCoin invest in?
Well, literally 100's of Shitcoin projects, you have to scroll it to believe it.
https://multicoin.capital/portfolio/
6.
So how would Sacks be able to help steer these companies in the right direction and make sure there is enough hype around them to make sure his investments clear any 'lock-up' period so the funds can make an exit and make huge profits?
Well, from Sacks Wiki page:
he is a co-host of the All In podcast, alongside Chamath Palihapitiya, Jason Calacanis and David Friedberg.
Yes, he has a CrYpTo Podcast.
But Suuuuurely he would never brag about investments or exits he has made on that podcast with his other slimeball co-hosts, would he?
@SilvermanJacob
has this clip of them doing exactly that below in 2021:
https://x.com/silvermanjacob/status/1595059806200643589?s=46&t=OhFuTtv-xPcwkmJSTd2Ovg
7.
So, yes, the clip shows them bragging about their Solana 'bags' and how they have pumped and beginning to dump them on retail.
"You better clear that Solana position, what's your lock up, 24 months?"
"Your holding right"
"Ish"
"ish, yeah me too".
Disgusting.
Watch again, then please share and bookmark Jacob's post.
8.
So back to MultiCoin, could they have invested in any 'projects' that were dependant on the Solana BlOcKcHaIn?
Loads:
01
Coral
Fractal
Hubble
Jito
MarginFi
Metaplex
Saber
Sec3
Serum
SOLANA
Solscan
Strata Protocol
Wormhole.
9. Wait, did they invest directly into SOLANA
Yes, yes they did.
"Today Iām excited to share Multicoinās investment thesis in Solana, alongside the fact that we led an $20M investment in Solana. Here's Solana's press release."
Here is the press release.
https://multicoin.capital/2019/07/30/the-world-computer-should-be-logically-centralized/
10.
Wait, wait, wait, wait a minute.
So Sacks is now directly tied to dozens of companies running on the Solana BlOcKcHaIn AND the network itself!?
And is advising the President on CrYptO as his Czar?
This can't get anymore conflicted.
Can it?
11.
We haven't fully considered nepotism yet.
So, Sacks is up to his knees in the Solana network, tokens AND dozens of 'UnIcOrnS' running shitcoin projects on it's BlOckChAin.
What was the weird part about Musk earlier and their connection via PayPal, it seems kind of weird to point that out.
12.
After leaving PayPal both went separate ways to start new ventures, famously Musk founded (joined) Tesla Motors and became (pushed aside existing) CEO.
There have been many ups and downs through the Tesla journey of Musk, but no story is weirder than the one involving the 2.6 BILLION acquisition of Solar City in 2016.
This acquisition left Tesla shareholders enraged as they saw it to be a "Bailout".
"Tesla shareholders alleged the companyās acquisition of the solar installer amounted to a bailout, pushed through by Musk who sat on both company boards at the time."
13.
So who were Solar City and why would shareholders believe this to be a 'Bailout' rather than a straight forward business acquisition?
Who were the founders and CEO of Solar City?
Lyndon and Peter Rive.
Big whoop, why does that matter?
"Lyndon Robert Rive (born 22 January 1977) is a South African-American businessman known as the co-founder of SolarCity, and its CEO until 2016."
"SolarCity is a provider of photovoltaic systems and related services. Rive co-founded SolarCity with his brother Peter in 2006."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyndon_Rive
14.
Big whoop.
Who cares that two South African-American brothers founded a Solar company that was acquired by Musk?
- For 2.6 Billion dollars.
- Against the wishes of his shareholders.
Well, you see, Lyndon and Peter are Elon's cousins, sons of his mother's twin sister.
So, yes, maybe the shareholders were onto something when they alleged that it could be a bailout rather than a prudent business acquisition.
https://ghanafuo.com/elon-musk-cousins/
15.
Fear not, the shareholders were judged to be conthpirathy theorists and Musk won his case.
"Vice Chancellor Joseph R. Slights, who decided the case shortly before retiring, sided with Musk, writing: āElon was more involved in the process than a conflicted fiduciary should be. And conflicts among other Tesla Board members were not completely neutralized. With that said, the Tesla Board meaningfully vetted the Acquisition, and Elon did not stand in its way.ā
16.
So what the AF does this have to do with Sacks, Solana, Musk and Trump?
Well....
Step up
@realJakeSimmons with this report:
https://www.newsbtc.com/news/solana/elon-musk-cousin-first-investors-solana/#author-box
17.
WAIT WHAT?
Rive was bailed out (allegedly) then disappears to become an Angel Investor and is one of the first investors in Solana?
No way.
No fkn way.
18.
Damn, this is getting weird.
So let's recap.
- Sacks is Trump's Crypto Czar and is knee-deep across the whole Solana spectrum.
- Trump's DOGE - Department Of Governmental Efficiency - (An anagram clearly chosen to pump another Shitcoin) is chaired by Musk.
- Musk's cousin is one of the first seed Angel Investors in Solana.
19.
So, could it be at all claimed that maybe, just maybe there is a conflict of Interest, Insider Trading and Nepotism involved in launching $TRUMP ?
A Presidential Shitcoin on the SOLANA network!?
Would those involved be able to:
1. Protect pre-existing investments?
2. Pump pre-existing investments?
3. Dump pre-existing investments?
I am sure the Donald is very much the innocent party in this debacle and has been the victim of poor advice.
Perhaps he should consider clearing house of his CrYpTo AdViSorS on day -1 of his presidency?
Perhaps he shoud de-list $TRUMP effect immediately and make any tricked investors whole.
Perhaps we should be more vigilant (toxic) in the #bitcoin space and be ready to call out scams, even if they are at the highest level.
Or maaaaaybe this is all just me being a silly conthpirathy theorist.
Have a great Sunday, don't let all of this information worry you......
Donāt forget a16zās trump support and solana backing.
Iām not good by any means. But even I know, 200 yards out, you basically need to be scratch to get this green. So many ruined drives, everyday. The best Iāve seen is they (maybe 5 guys total) will come up just short.

We tried to sound the alarm with #gorillawarfare back when BM started pushing the rare sats NFTs. It wasnāt loud enough though. Too many people bought into the hype because it was ābuilt on Bitcoin.ā nostr:npub1hqaz3dlyuhfqhktqchawke39l92jj9nt30dsgh2zvd9z7dv3j3gqpkt56s
Not to mention all the shitcoiners Bailey trotted out at his useless conferences. If anything, heās been consistent. Youāre blind if you havenāt seen the shitcoinery until now
Check out their new terms of service.
-shut down all 3rd party integration
-reserve right to brick printer if you donāt update.

Bambu Lab is garbage.
I guess Iāve been boycotting for years
Samsung, Levar/Micron, or SanDisk all make their own wafers. Kingston creates a spec and buys whatās available. If had to choose, I go with one of the first three. But the difference is going to be small.
The bigger thing to think about is that you donāt want to use sd cards as long term storage. They degrade over time. Theyāre the cheapest part of the wafer before it becomes scraps. Definitely something you want to check periodically.
Thatās a really good deal. Enjoy!
Thatās great! My packaged weight 1/2 cow comes in around 200 lbs. and about $10/lb
Just saw a proposal at the beach. What a beautiful day!
The landing zone behind our house sits 200-230 from the hole. Virtually everyone goes for the green and virtually everyone skulls it into the dry pond or the zips it into the oaks. No matter how predictable it is, itās still entertaining to watch the effort. #Golfstr

Thatās awesome and I believe it. I shaved off a few minutes on my run from prior. I will do it again tomorrow.
Nice job!
Ok the bull market you think thatās most likely.
What is one thing you want to treat yourself or someone with during this bull run?
10y wedding anniversary is this year so I want to surprise my wife with a nice bracelet. Or a gun. The latter is probably too much of a me gift. #asknostr
