Canadian Math Prodigy Allegedly Stole $65 Million In #Crypto

https://yro.slashdot.org/story/25/04/15/2017230/canadian-math-prodigy-allegedly-stole-65-million-in-crypto

#Mantra, a blockchain which claimed to be designed for "tokenizing real world assets (RWAs)" but was probably just another shitty ethereum clone, saw its #OM token price collapse by more than 90% in the span of about an hour.

RWAs, meaning the "tokenization" of IRL assets like real estate, are supposed to be the hot new thing in crypto so this left a lot of bros feeling kind of salty.

right on cue. I fucking hate this timeline

The Trump administration, its allies, and supporters are working to trash the dollar, Treasuries, and the overall economy so the crypto bros can come in to start tearing apart the Federal Reserve and extend the scam of crypto currency to steal trillions of dollars from the U.S. government, its citizens, and the world.

The chaos is the point, not a mistake.

Gold isn't at a peak valuation by mere coincidence.

Reminder that a contingent of America's finest MAGA conspiracy theorists flew to El Salvador to celebrate Nayib Bukele's victory over his country's constitutional term limits in June of 2024.

* Donald Trump, Jr.
* Tucker Carlson
* Matt Gaetz (R-Florida)
* Mike Lee (R-Utah)

This was the moment people like me who were aware of the Bukele regime's crypto corruption started getting worried about American Republicans' newfound admiration of Salvadoran #fascism.

(To put it in perspective, that kind of money can help build 40,000 affordable homes in a country like India).

The environmental burden of the United States’ bitcoin mining boom
—Nature

｢ 1.9 million Americans were exposed to ≥0.1 μg/m3 of additional PM2.5 pollution from Bitcoin mines, often hundreds of miles away from the communities they affected. Americans living in four regions—including New York City and near Houston—were exposed to the highest Bitcoin mine-attributable PM2.5 concentrations (≥0.5 μg/m3) with the greatest health risks ｣
