Exactly. The man who's largest holding is in an area he had no interest in (Tech) because he, in his own words "didn't understand it, and I like things I understand" is quite honestly a huge fucking hypocrite. His BFF is Bill Gates and even HE couldn't get Warren to see tech for what it was. WB missed on Apple, Google, FB, NVIDIA...you name it, he missed on it, because he sticks to his book value and getting a deal in a boring industries. Fine. ...but if that's how you're going to be, either STFU or capitulate like you did with AAPL and invest. Otherwise, you're just a 93 year old soundbite that's talking in between slapping his old ass gums on a Werther's Original without knowing what the fuck you're actually talking about. That goes for your butt buddy Charlie, too.

sus that a decentralized monetary system has a centralized entity earning revenue like FB and M$ no less... sounds kinda... centralized...

And FB failed. lol

UniqueSample1309

It's an hour or two to spare daily. Just replace scrolling through social media (FB, IG, Twitter, etc) with shitposting and you're good. At least you're getting something out of your spare time.

ThrowawayHoper

Sorry so why would I need to DM you the key? I’ve not paid them prior, but I’m guessing the usage stat is similar to an ad budget on FB, it won’t exceed that many instances?

BuGsYq

Yes but neither YT or FB remove them even tho i reported 'em so many times..

Ftmmetadick

Your response ignores my point. Both sides are NOT making laws that negatively impact minorities, only ONE side (republicans) are. Bitcoin is ONE issue. No intelligent minority who has Bitcoin is supporting a republican candidate-they would actively be working against their own best interests. Your comments are one of the reasons women aren’t into crypto/Bitcoin. You’re out of touch is the reality of 1/2 of this country. Let’s say a Republican who is Pro Bitcoin wins in 2024. The SEC stops targeting Crypto but also Republicans pass laws ending funding for HIV drugs, ban Trans people from healthcare, and lower the length of time women get for maternity leave. So how does that minority who supported that Republican feel after all those laws are passed? Stupid. The same way Republican women felt after Republicans repealed Roe and they were crying on FB surprised by that law impacting THEM. You give strong white middle class vibes. You give strong privileged vibes. Bitcoin is for everyone not just white middle class men. Minorities don’t think both sides are the same because we are impacted by the laws one side (Republicans) pass.

tzu_ndere

People sell their social media accounts all the time (Insta, FB, Tiktok), maybe you can do it too? ​ But I highly suspect that warrants a ban here.

DrSpeckles

At least it’s obvious to most people on this sub. I tried the same on a conspiracy page on FB one time and had endless praise about how I should be a writer. I felt bad about it!

Human-Key-7984

I get it. I recently saw an acquaintance post on FB that "BTC will soon go to its intrinsic value of 0" - and a bunch of people commented that they agree, crypto bros, it's a scam, yada yada. I decided for my own good not to engage but man is it hard and frustrating to me. How can the general public not see and understand that they're getting screwed by FIAT and their gov controlling their currency and at least try to understand a decentralized, scarce resource as a currency and the potential this could mean for them? I know where I stand but it's still frustrating to me that there's not more hope and anger in people to look into BTC rather than just laughing/denying it. Feels like the majority of people are in a cult and you just want to shake them and yell wake up!!

Crypto-Jim33

The real question for me would be: How you achieved the autodestructive process to NOT buy BTC in 2011 while you where told many times by many people...Answer : I was too busy sharing conspiracy theories on FB

pictogasm

Yeah but rich people ALSO manage risk and get the fuck diversified as soon as reasonable. Made a billion because Facebook paid you in shares for graffiti painting their office? AWESOME. Now get some professional advice about trusts taxes you can start diversifying that FB (or BTC) asset into a wide range of income producing assets that remove the risk of FB (or BTC) collapsing to the nothingness from which it came.

I looked up Lydian World in FB and they're connected

That was an AWFUL feature and FB has nonexistent customer support.

Someone has said below, reddit will be gone by 10 years time like digg. What do you think will happen to Moons if we lose home (sub)? I don't know if such thing is possible but the history tells me that all good things comes to an end. Look at FB.....can't say good about it but now they have changed the name to meta and people have left FB space. Even browsers....there used to be something called Netscape. Nowhere to be seen. I feel like we need to think two steps ahead.

Is it though? And there’s not actually 6 million people on this sub browsing. Only 2000 people even got moons. I’ve only advertised a little bit on FB, instagram, you can have whatever audience size you want and pay as little as 5 bucks per day to keep an ad running. With 150 bucks you’d probably reach more impressions than this trade bot did with its reddit AMA.

SolidDelivery4689

Yes. For sure. Just think if/when Amazon, eBay, FB marketplace etc has crypto as payment method. Adoption will explode 🤯

A friend of a friend on FB who I have never met in person but who allowed me to put a deposit on a house 2 years ago.

MrMogz

Just had this in a “suggested post” on FB 😂 “Analyst Projects XRP Surging 2,571% to $130 Amid Pending Breakout From 6-year Symmetrical Triangle” Sure, wasn’t it supposed to be XRP to $589?! Even $130 would ONLY put it around a $7 trillion market cap, no biggie. 🤦‍♂️

MrMogz

I was just thinking about something, since we're so early in SoFi (social finance) and earning for using a platform, what does the future look like if no one wants to use any platform if they don't offer some type of monetary incentive? Why post on FB, IG, etc when you can post on Reddit (or some other platform) and earn money? Will it incentivize other platforms to follow suit, or will people just migrate to the ones that do pay and ditch the ones that don't?

Adventurous_Air_7296

So I'm still waiting to receive my order of the 22 original edition bitcoin magazines, I ordered and payed for in 2015. I received a tracking number but when clicked USPS says it is waiting to receive the package from the vendor and it's been like that for last 8 years. I have original emails showing order, payment etc yet I've not been able to get a response from anyone when I've emailed or msgd on FB or any form of communication. I'm just ignored! Anyone have any ideas to help me get whats rightfully mine. Paid about $300 US plus nearly $200 shipping to aus . Let alone today's value of the magazine's that if been shafted on.

Crypto-Jim33

As much as I don't like X, Meta, Instagram etc i think that Reddit should step up their game and add some new features like the other social platforms already have. Also the karma concept could be replaced with direct moon tiping in all Reddit subs this way Moons can be the official cryptocurrency of Reddit. This is a simplifid way like FB likes exmpl. Also sharing to your own personal profile so à group of people fallowing you or in your friend list can get à notification about similar interest posts(with a Tag) can like your post directly=Moons What do you guys think ?

Affectionate-Hunt217

Found out about it too late to do anything Lol, quite funny how it is I realized haha, couldn’t invest in stocks but there’s something like bitcoin that didn’t even exist 5 years before when FB IPOd in 2012, if I actually did something with it it would be a funny coincidence, but now having waited so long it’s no longer funny just painful and full of regret 😂 I’ve come to the realization it didn’t matter anyways no way I would have been able to or convince anyone to lend me the money to buy something like crypto Lol, they would have said I’m insane or something too haha

maxcoiner

I agree with this post but I wish it described Nostr's potential better. Calling Nostr a mere 'twitter alternative' is like calling the internet an email alternative. Every social media site you've ever used, from FB to Instagram to YouTube to soundcloud, to freaking Geocities, all of them, have alternatives on the Nostr network. Twitter was just the low-hanging fruit. I have always felt most at home on Reddit so I'm really enjoying [https://satellite.earth](https://satellite.earth), which is a Reddit clone on Nostr. Simply put, Nostr isn't a replacement for twitter, it's a replacement for the entire freaking Internet, made to be decentralized and therefore censorship-resistant.

loksfox

Dude I like VR and I have no use for this either. FB just living in a fantasy.

Affectionate-Hunt217

Same I legit had no vision at all Lol, just wanted to get my degree and get on with life until my death bed came 😂 I actually liked stocks and I remember FB and Alibaba when they both IPOd I begged my dad to buy them but he told me there was no way Lol, little did I know there was this nothing called bitcoin that didn’t care where you are from and who you are and didn’t have age limits like the stock market that was accessible to anyone with an internet connection 😂

MrVodnik

The best is still shit. Twitter, Reddit, FB, YT... its all just bag sellers (either their own, or their sponsors). You either stay close to a project and follow it yourself, or you don't, and not get financially involved in.

GL4389

According to the movie, Saverin was financing hardware for FB in early fase. But after a fight with Zuck, he stopped it and FB suffered downtime briefly. Zuck never forgot about this and wanted to punish Saverin. He might have also wanted to show him that he now had no power in FB.

t9b

If you only just discovered this today, here’s a little bit more detail you probably didn’t know. It never went to court and was settled at mediation. This meant that Zuck at least knew he was going to settle but just wanted to put the Winklevii through the pain of a 24hr meeting. The settlement was actually $45M in Facebook shares and $20M in cash of which the lawyers took $13M as a contingent fee. That left $7M in cash which is what the brothers actually put in Bitcoin. They may have topped it up themselves as they were already wealthy. The shares were priced at $35 each although this was a stitch up for the brothers because internally facebook only valued the shares at $8 meaning they should have paid the brother approximately 4x the quantity of shares. The brothers took Zuck to court over that, but lost because during mediation the discussions are inadmissible in an subsequent court hearing. Nevertheless the value of FB shares went from $35 to $150 before they sold some so they really shouldn’t complain.

milonuttigrain

Yeah Reddit is basically my only go to place now. FB is full of shits, Twitter is a cesspool and Instagram is full of people flexing their lives.

MrMogz

Anytime I see the word “peg” I think of Vice articles on FB talking about pegging. They gave me PTSD, pegging traumatic stress disorder.

Yes same, I don't use FB, Twitter, Insta etc anymore. Reddit is my one and only 😅

Crypto-Jim33

In 2011 Anonymous where calling everyone on FB to buy BTC

jskyerabbit

Everyone’s biometrics are already in some system. Face ID on your phone to unlock it, phones that use fingerprints, FB used to send me picture suggestions they found me in, retargeting ads on the internet based on my google search history.. it goes on and on. I definitely don’t want people to be exploited. I’m all for freedom and peoples well being. But I’m confused how this is taking advantage of people. Is it just because of the biometrics? Are people forced to use crypto and thus pay fees every time they buy something? If it’s more about the state of the country than it’s more of a political issue than a crypto issue right. I appreciate any and all comments to help me understand because everything posted here was happening before people had access to crypto wallets anyways right..

hsifder1

I got scammed on FB with one of my friends that got hacked and talked me into investing 1k of Bitcoin to 10x. Well, that didn’t happen.

afraidtobecrate

No, FB doesn't literally sell user data. They use that data for advertising.

tsuiteruze

Hackers/scammers already hack into youtube, FB/Meta, Twitter/X account etc to take over. Do you think they'd stop at your iris data?

No_Rest_9653

Exactly the opposite the "guns" like the controlled internet. Think of the labor that went into catching criminals and collecting evidence prior to the internet. Trying to catch a child molester? You don't have to put weeks of man hours into following a guy around until you finally catch him buying his contraband, you just request his search history from google, then examine his home computer. A wife dies under mysterious circumstances, check the FB and other chat history for "the other woman". The govt would embrace btc the same way they have embraced the internet as long as they get to have control over it. Of course then it ceases to be btc. The trick is for BTC to be adopted and widely used before governments really turn against it.

BourbonBAC32

Is this like that FB post my grandparents posted years ago about communique? It feels like that

rogpar23

Why people still don’t see FB itself as a scam is beyond my understanding.

> celebration of terrible violence They are celebrating liberation and punishment of the invaders, not terrible violence. The violence is simply the reality of the matter, and direct consequence of the invasion. > FB and Youtube took away hate speech policies towards Russia, its very strange It's not strange at all. It should definitely be allowed for Ukrainians to express hate towards the invaders. You can't even imagine what this nation is going through. You can't silence them all and pretend that it's business as usual.

rulesforrebels

It's funny this Russia thing is unique in that social media companies and really everyone has decided to treat the Russian people as bad people where as in most other wars like Afghanistan or Iraq we say the Government is bad not the people. It's funny how FB, Youtube, even Instagram allow violence to be posted, look at the Ukraine War Report subreddit its basically a big circle jerk and celebration of terrible violence or look at how FB and Youtube took away hate speech policies towards Russia, its very strange.

Ipokeyoumuch

Likely a lot more. Emails, FB message, Whatsapp, actual documentations, phone records, etc. Sometimes depending how things are reorganized each email is one page or multiple pages of they have a reply chain. So now SBF's team needs to find what is useful and what isn't though I don't think they would complain too much if they are getting thousands of billable hours out of this, though it would suck for the junior associates (who are paid significantly less) who have to tedious job of going through all of this.

Different markets, but in general I believe Netflix is the less influential, FB the one with massive audience and BTC will be the future.

So many marketplace scams on FB time to charge Zuck then

I Absolutely accept it. I even edited my FB business page with a photshopped sticker "i now accept bitcoin" plus a 20%discount for the 1st 5 customers to do it. None yet... but this is wales (and im welsh too before that sounds racists).

MrMogz

Them and a bajillion scammers will be trying, too. All the more reason to keep your crypto out of your personal life, too. When I first got into it I’d post on FB and discuss it with family n friends, now I say nothing.

Oof, that's brutal. Reminiscent of 2017 FaceBook with an endless supply of crypto scam ads that FB just allowed to run rampant.

MrMogz

Fuck, just gave me flashbacks to the 2017 bull run, FaceBook was literally FULL of them. In hindsight it's crazy how bad FB was at vetting any of their advertisers back then, in fact, they probably didn't vet lol.

Crypto-Jim33

Facebook and scam ads what could possible go wrong apart FB reputation

MrMogz

At the same time, I prefer to have kept my FB for all my contacts and keeping up with what's going on in some people's lives, but I do no more than 5-10 mins a day on there. If a person couldn't restrain from scrolling FB, IG or TikTok though, probably best to delete for sure.

Cravensworth_3dux

Did the same thing a couple of years back. Bin ed all of the social media and only use Reddit to keep me entertained online. Even still the weight gets heavy, but it's better than becoming an extremist via algorithm on Twitter/FB.

timeforchorin

blows my mind that people still use FB now. only thing anyone cares about are basically photos and statuses. and other apps are so much more popular for that

Geolinear

This just makes me think of the videos where people are on IG live or FB live with their location on showing off tens of thousands of dollars in bills. Those guys usually end up getting robbed in 4K.

/thread Ok but id like to add although OP is pretty much off base here, the lessening of privacy online in general is shocking and Gross. Like reddit or FB needs all your data for an account. We are lucky they dont demand passports.

It could tho. 1. Besides of the iris, the device might be taking a photo (or more data depending on the sensors it has) of the face for all we know (hardware/software aren't open-sourced). I would actually like to see someone disarming one of these devices and checking all the sensors this thing has. 2. Linked to 1: The device might also have connectivity sensors that could ping the device (wifi, bluetooth) of the person its scanning, and receive back the deviceID. Given that our devices are continually in contact with networks around. 3. The app has the device ID and phone number (too lazy to check what else it can access). These can be cross-referenced with public databases, or OpenAi's database, which will have your Google account, which in turn links to other stuff. 4. The app might come with extra baggage to retrieve useful data from your phone's sensors. Or it could be updated in the future to be able to perform these actions. 5. WorldID policies might change in the future, and they can easily ask for additional info to "protect" the people that enrolled due to fraud, etc. Changing the rules of the game on the go is something big businesses do quite regularly. And OpenAI is itself a poster child for this practice lol. This might be OpenAI's try to gain an extra monetization source, with an app that will be forever in your phone (if UBI indeed is given through that channel) , and could be able to log lots of stuff about you to the one monopolized world ID database. Which will be a goldmine in data mining terms; and could be a FB-like "great move" in that regard. Your retina data might be the only truly valuable data in a future where every business will want to have a way to know if you are a "real person". And if you also take into account that MSFT basically owns them, and MSFTs motto since they launched W10 is "give me ALL of your data", this kinda of draws a line between two points..... The biggest red flag here is that they didn't open-sourced neither the software nor the hardware. Which leads to two possibilities that lead to the same conclusion: 1. They are trying to hide something that might scare people away. Which means stuff that people don't like. >>>>> dystopian capitalist shit. 2. They are trying to hide the tech from potential competition. Which means that they see this as a source of income worth defending >>>>> dystopian capitalist shit.

Ur right no one knows when the top is in but you bought when the bull market was well underway after you heard about it on FB… cmon man thats peak emotional buying. Just learn the lesson and buy during the bear, sell during the bull next time

milonuttigrain

It's crazy to think about it. FB invested $10 billion in the metaverse. That is more than five times the amount to purchase the Oculus VR business in 2014 and 10 times the cost of Instagram acquisition in 2012. And it's an epic fail.

tzu_ndere

First time I've seen someone post an FB link here lol

UJ_Reddit

I’m suprised FB doesn’t take more victims

WineMakerBg

This! Finally a bigger part of the advertising profits flows into creators themselves. Imagine if FB started rewarding likes users receive 15 years ago ... Greedy b'stards.

You sent the BNB to this BitGet customer deposit address: ``` 0x41d166f2FB3D6B77679Df131D58BFCeE24512e97 ``` Bitget then moved the BNB to one of their hot addresses: ``` 0x97b9D2102A9a65A26E1EE82D59e42d1B73B68689 ```

Jaded-Reply3495

I conducted a quick check and it could be Bitget. This address: 0x41d166f2FB3D6B77679Df131D58BFCeE24512e97

soyelvorph

Well, that analogy sounds really promising, if he is comparing BTC with FB at that users level, we are 15 years early in BTC.

Worldliness-Pretty

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, 50 million users for FB is nothing lol

WineMakerBg

Blockchains are the next "Windows" and "Android" platforms. Such projects are the next "FB", "Tik Tok", etc. apps built on them.

I’ve started to notice social media hype outside of Reddit for moons ie. IG, X, FB. Crazy the growth in the last year. Makes you wonder where Moons will be when Crypto finally breaks out of this Bear

Crypto-Jim33

Definitely Moons, it's the first crypto ever giving real value to social engagement in a very important platform like Reddit and can be used in new use cases in the near future like Reddit NFTs marketplace/exchange you can reward users tiping moons... Moons can be the official cryptocurrency of Reddit (Not like FB/Insta/X etc useless likes why they sell your data and gain billions)

Background-Ad-2102

This reminds me of that huge raid on the guy who had millions in BTC from the Silk Road, who accidentally merged his stolen funds from there, with legit funds that he had and then was quickly captured by the FB and imprisoned. It’s so cool how blockchain technology works!

I was at the tail end of most socials, because i'm sorta a hermit even in electro world lol. But I finally got on Myspace because I realized you could edit the code and wack your own website over the whole thing and have a free website basically. But then Timberlake nuked custom code and cookie cuttered everyone. Stopped going out much so was forced to use Facebook every year or so just to check up on friends. Left DeviantArt because they were selling users out to Hot Topic and I value my IP and creative art and don't wanna be grifted by mega corps. I left Tumblr (which I actually loved, it was fresh and fun, and funny without adds and just enjoyable to share art on)... the moment they sold out to Yahoo. And then I went on Instagram a little bit, just because i'm a photographer and it seems okay to share basic stuff there. But kinda was allergic to phone cameras, until I just got over being snobby about photography haha. Anyway... leading upto... All the platforms now feel hyper insidious. Instagram/Youtube/FB actually feels evil the kind of content that's on there. But I did always avoid the news and live in my bubble of niche interests so maybe this is just people's norm. But the 'immersive experience' they want for us... I just needa get out into the garden, I feel really bad for people trapped in that neuron grinder, as if its the only world. It's degrading us as a species. SO yeah I hope the new thing puts this all into the past.

If not for you Carlie Moore my profit won't have been better from the $500 I invested,I got back $13000, thanks once again Carlie Moore on FB.
