Absolutely no one could have predicted this

I imagine that from a exec’s perspective, this is a slam dunk. He’s got three other film adaptations of his books, the blind side (problematic), moneyball (loved it), and the big short (also loved it). Plus, people can’t help but fawn over these techbro billionaires, especially when they are depicted in film.

Ahhh yes. After putting all my money into blockchain I’d forgotten how to count that low

The only youtubers I like are the creatives that have side gigs and alternate sources of income. It’s almost as if having youtube as your main source of income corrupts your incentives to the point of moral bankruptcy, OR, the only people that can have youtube/social media be the money maker are morally bankrupt to begin with.

IDK he seems like he’d be more likely to give them to CIA backed radicals in the middle east, or israel

I had heard a bunch of positive press about him (the trees stuff, etc.) but didn’t look into him because why should I care about a youtuber? Then I found out he was part of the ghost kitchen craze and was selling candy bars. I saw his face on a supermarket standee and thought: that is mason verger after consulting a PR firm.

HIGHER you insufferable twats. So much Higher.

Who does this guy think he is? Creedy McCreedson? Lead singer of Creed?

Sub Elon tier, as Elon would call it 『ZA WARUDO』.

I feel like calling this supervillain shit elevates Ol’ Salty too much.

I don’t get it. Is this a spartacus situation or a stolen valour situation? Just claiming satoshi-nature isn’t enough to acquire satoshi’s-wallet-nature.

this is likely too much of a deep cut but “len sassaman” sounds like a parody name that someone would use to roast scott aukerman, the host of CBB and one of the writers of shark tale

I can’t stop reading the name as Blahaj(i). Now I’m imagining an overwhelmed plush shark doing its best to bribe the malaysian authorities

I’m a Bitcoiner but my teeth are straight and white

incredible, cryptocurrency has democratised (looks at cards) hunger-games style exploitation of human life and dignity for profit
