featuring one of the funniest things that's happened in crypto in a while

Have you heard the song, "H-Coin to the Moon," by that criminal billionaire, Molly?

I found out about it on this law podcast I listen to!

(*slaps sides*)
Okay, you got me laughing out loud with that one! 👏✌️

Two years ago; I was contacted by someone involved with that stunt. He appeared to want advice on how to make it intelligible to hypothetical aliens.

I did not prolong the conversation.

Unfortunately; Astrobotic is not the only contractor building a lunar spacecraft for NASA who has chosen to run a cryptocurrency promotion with it.

(Intuitive Machines is to carry a promotion for Dogecoin; with the stated reason something like "Elon Musk likes it". The politics of that choice...)

Don’t see anyone reporting this yet, but the podcast feed cut out right after Liam Neeson.
Maybe I need to delete and redownload. Or just listen in the newsletter.

I'm pretty sure if it had been placed on the moon, that moon explorer would either have found the wallet already empty, or bitcoin long dead...
Als Antwort auf Molly White

that's just too on the 👃 . The writers aren't even trying this season.

Notable thing about the BitMEX coin, the mission took so long to launch that between when they secured a spot on the list of space junk for the lander and when it launched, all three of the BitMEX founders were found guilty of violating the Bank Secrecy Act, each in a separate, multi year lawsuit by the CFTC. On the lander there was also a plaque engraved with the first Bitcoin ever mined sent by BTC Inc, the owners of Bitcoin Magazine.

I guess they ngmi to the moon. Hfss ! (have fun staying in space )
Als Antwort auf Molly White

Well, if the price increases further, someone might want to do a mission to capture that space junk. Might be more difficult than just another moon landing though.
Als Antwort auf Molly White

and funny things that have happened with crypto is a crowded field!

pointed at the moon, destined to be shredded to nothing by sunlight. Even more poetic.

someone needs to mod the bitcoin rollercoaster gif so the car flies off the track and into the void forever

On the other hand that’s one crypto asset that’s safe from clawbacks.

(Not really, I assume the represented wallet has been empty for a while.)

Als Antwort auf Molly White

Nah, this one is better. On one hand you have some dudes who paid their own money to send a joke to the moon (along with other dudes who were trying to contaminate the moon with biological samples..) On the other hand you have government agencies lying about having insecure accounts. Who do you trust? Among all these participants, the dudes come on top, even if their vehicle failed.

I think you may have DDoSed your own site. Or else my ISP is being super slow to pass your site along, like it does with Charles Stross’ site.
Als Antwort auf Rob Isaac

@rmi yeah, will be back up shortly. am still working on not decimating the server when i send the email, and then again when i share the link to mastodon
Als Antwort auf Molly White

I thought the tweet by Logan Paul was an image.
When it showed xdotcom I immediately closed it, and also lost the blog, because it didn't open the new url in new tab.

(The reason I clicked the link was because the text are too small)

do you care about the reports if email doesn't come through? Or you have enough data points?
Als Antwort auf Molly White

mine ended up in spam on Gmail, marking as not spam, hopefully with time it will adjust.
Als Antwort auf Laimis

@laimis thanks, i hope so too! will continue tweaking to the best of my abilities to try to keep it out of there
Als Antwort auf Molly White

Email landed in Gmail, first one was unflagged as spam so seems to be working.

Btw the audio version on the site has a couple of retakes at the start of a segment still in the final (sorry was away from phone so missed the timestamp).

Shared the brain-poisoned paragraph with my wife. Reply was “your words or someone else’s?”

So I guess…thanks for sharing the love? 🫣

Als Antwort auf Molly White

bitcoin and vanity human remains … Space is being enshitified as it becomes more privatized. Navajos are taking action against the moon, sacred, being used as a dumpster-playground. It’s a pitty more meaningful projects , like the 5 Mexican robots from UNAM won’t make it though.
Als Antwort auf Molly White

this is pure genius. 🤣

> Finally, people will be able to turn their money into an anonymous peer-to peer asset outside of government control, to which they own their own keys and thus control completely, without having to involve powerful financial institutions like BlackRock.
