This (3 part) talk is great, from two geniuses at Unchained. It gives a genuinely new perspective on the history of Bitcoin, the current state, and most importantly the future. Thank you to whoever linked to it in a random comment on a random thread recently. It deserves more love and so do you. ❤️  https://youtu.be/19LA7ReARCQ?si=qHqGWEneLLjEkFYy

When you're getting transported in the feds Victorville has a holdover facility. SBF was never designated to Victorville, he was just waiting for a bus to Terminal Island. I spent a month at Victorville holdover in between MDC LA and Lompoc.

I saw the Tut exhibit at the LA museum of art. Kings across and nations world wide have valued gold for thousands of years. And you think crypto will last? It's a concept of a idea.

thtguyry

Time to take the risk that could change your life. I started with 6 k. My whole net worth in 2019. Studied this market every day and DCA non stop bull or bear. Buying every dip harder than DCA. Now I'm 1/3 to a million. Minimum wage living in LA btw

A big problem with real estate is that while it goes up on average, *your* real estate may go down any moment. Ask the people in LA. On top of that you have to pour half your free time into maintaining it, or it will go down too.

wjean

Nope. The shit is in a low security facility in LA already. Not enough time to get acquainted with the other residents in the med security facility https://fortune.com/crypto/2025/04/10/sam-bankman-fried-sbf-ftx-victorville-california-oklahoma-brooklyn/

I was just scammed by Wisdom Futures. Contacted by a woman from LA that made up her name (Minnie Lee). They offered me a job with a startup for crypto derivatives. Then I had to undergo a training every time a "training node" opened. I had to invest and lost 5k. However, the real scam came when they asked for 43k upfront so I could withdraw my funds. I am really trying to put victims together so someone hears us out, please DM me. Also, in LinkedIn you will find professor Gary Werner, he works in intelligence and his goal is to take out these websites. Just for Wisdom Futures he has already taken down over 1690 websites in the past 2 months. All scams. Thing is law enforcement is not acting on it (Gary is pretty sure that all of this is tied to organized crime in Myanmar and China), apparently there would be no assets to recover. However, I really believe that at least one of the scammers is in the US and would love to take her down. DM me please.

tesi_swinging

The way I see it, the example of the rental it's a good example of what I just said. That rental after a fire in LA and transform in scraps has no intrinsic value after all.

Not in LA recently unless you count up in smoke..

Worried-Low4580

WTH did I just read…. What does mechanized agriculture and increasing farmer productivity have to do with ensuring that their voices aren’t drowned out by city sentiment? You acknowledge yourself of the greater population that LA has over entire states. Do you think that LAs vote should outweigh the sentiment of entire states? Guess you’re of the opinion that only US cities should determine who becomes President. Would save a ton of money campaigning, only need to visit the coastal areas!

asuds

That’s sort of one of the reasons for the electro college, among others. However, the rise of mechanized agriculture has dramatically, changed the population distribution in the country. Something that wasn’t “built in” to some genius electoral college planning. The states with the most outside power as a result didn’t even exist when that system was being designed, and the population was much more evenly distributed. red/blue by population: https://guides.libraries.indiana.edu/c.php?g=1024502&p=7421466 Let’s not forget that LA city alone has more citizens than Wyoming, both Dakotas, and Montana combined. And expanding to LA county is three times that. Farm work that used to take 100 people now takes one etc.

capricon9

For fucks sake bro! Sell a small amount and go to Thailand and get a young hottie and enjoy life for a minute. The women there are friendly and feminine and not aggressive. It could be any other country but certainly not North America. Don’t spend it on these cheaply built houses in North America (why do I assume you live there?) rather buy a solid house built from bricks not wood. Look at LA!

KerryWashington84

To be clear , Im from LA, living in the UK. Visited LA recently and was shocked how many Crypto ATMs I saw. They are generally awful. You dont see as many here but in general people are pretty skeptical

Mysterious_Ad_4658

flying taxi's/EVTOL are coming in my opinion, targetted to be in use for the LA olympics

PandemicVirus

I think you'll see a drop for a while, level, and then eventual rise as people get back online. t How big and how long these periods are is probably dependent on the scale of the event. There's still a demand element here, if there's no internet for anyone there's no demand. You'd need something that affects very large areas - multiple countries or a majority of a hemisphere - to trigger a serious response. It would be better to have a more detailed scenario. The LA fires were devastating but had no impact, nor did the flooding in east coast United States, I'm not sure what global impact the war in the Ukraine has had on bitcoin but I'm sure someone has looked into it and we can agree that overall, it's not stopped it.

reddemon46

Thanks, everyone. It's a tough bullet to bite, but I respect everyone being honest. Thankfully, I have some of the scammers info (if it's any bit correct) and they're living in Beverly Hills. French girl, her uncle is the CEO of business or something and her brother owns a french restaurant in LA, not to fat off of Santa Monica. Again, this is all probably fake, but I have the uncles name and such too lol.

Uncontrolled, wild fires certainly are yeah. Just ask LA,

Computershoes

In 2007 the bank wouldn’t give me a mortgage for a home so i started looking into why, finding centralization and control of the money created an approval system rather than fair system. Looking to alternative money and attempts at computer internet money there wasn’t one to work because double spending problem. 2010,11,12, seen small signs on internet about bitcoin ads,silk road used bitcoin. 2014 my sister was at school in nyc messaged me about bitcoin looked more into it was skepetical if it would work long term but told her i could buy 1000$ worth i think it was 300 at time. Was not easy to find ways to buy one online service required passport for identification and I didn’t have one. 2016 got passport to travel. In summer 2017 was in vegas heard lads friend quit poker to do bitcoin full time in LA. Thought this was strange but realized i had passport and when i got home revisited purchasing bitcoin. Coinbase sold me first 800$ worth of bitcoin price was about 2k. Watched the run upto 20k alot of people thought it was going to a million after that it started bear market and stopped paying attention. Months later it hit 6k and thought that it was low should buy some. Bought small amounts than soon after the bank stole, seized and shutdown my bank account for multiple reasons like audit and predatory financing of construction loan, plus claiming buying bitcoin was against their rules so i couldn’t buy more bitcoin in 2018 through bank. Atms were decent but premium cost about 16%. It isn’t always easy to get bitcoin even when wanting it. 2019 was at the cottage in muskokas when unfortunately the boat capsized and lost everything.

> NFTs were dumb, but with rugpulls, the only thing people even pretend to care about is making money.  It is obvious you didn't really play with NFTs. The same scamfluencers doing pump and dumps on retail most originated from the NFT trading era. All the "LA Vape Cabal" members were formerly in NFTs. One of their heads once even ran the DeGods NFT. NFTs were less liquid to the rug at large volumes, but the game remained the same for the old group. Tokens are a lot more liquid so it is easier for them to replicate their old NFT extraction games at a larger scale.

excelance

This is such a wide open question. What is a good life for you? For someone in Somalia, .1 Bitcoin would be life changing; but for someone in downtown LA, it might pay for 3-months rent. Is a good life living on a Yacht or being able to eat a cheese burger?

International-Arm597

Not just BTC, but there's risks to everything. You can have a great depression and stocks fall by 50%. Real estate can (and sadly was in LA) be destroyed. Gold can be stolen. The much more guaranteed risk is losing money to inflation, compared to any of the other risks, or ending up in a lawless zombie apocalypse. You absolutely need to own assets. Everyone just has different preferences for what's best.

rhazux

Others have covered several topics but I haven't seen anyone cover this. It seems like OP is in Canada and I don't know how it works there, but in the US mined BTC is taxable as income. The gains will be further be taxed when you sell/trade it. And whether it's further taxed as income or capital gains will depend on how long you hold it. The fact of the matter is that the mining situations vary wildly. What makes sense for you might not make sense for someone in Los Angeles. The cost of electricity, tax policies, and being able to use the waste heat are all going to change by location. Just because you see a ton of comments about how mining is bad or not profitable, doesn't mean that's some universal truth. In statistics, what you're noticing is known as sample bias. And the bias involved here is that most people in any forum are going to come from high density population centers, which have very different financial/economic situations compared to more rural living. Or stated another way: it'd be unreasonable to assume there are as many people from LA in this sub as there are from Cheyenne, Wyoming. You're simply going to see the thoughts of people from LA, San Francisco, Dallas, Houston, Miami, etc. far more than people from small towns where mining conditions are more favorable.

RiotOnVijzelstraat

After everything that's happened in the last 2 days - LA Rape Cabal, Argentina, Jupiter, etc - it's only going to get worse. Sell it all here, go all in Alephium.

He doesn't need one. He has T$LA the stock.

IBoughtAllDips

Please quote where i said he should only buy AAPL and a house in LA. You got autism or something?

Business_Accident576

As a matter of fact, just because OP didn't ask about diversification, it doesn't make me wrong, it makes sense - whilst principally I agree with you, it would be crazy to think, based on your advice, OP would buy only BTC, APPLE, one house in LA ONLY - diversification extends both to assert clashes, AND, to assets within each class

Makes me wonder how many seed phrases were burned up in the LA fires.

Mysterious_Ad_4658

I wonder if those people in LA would have had much luck finding a small steel plate after the recent fires? It doesn't seem like a great solution to me.

reddit4485

Your just making semantic arguments that make no sense. The word control can have different meanings. If I say I control the money I make, it means I can spend it how I want on whatever I want (my interpretation). I don't mean I control how or whether an ATM can transmit money over the internet (your interpretation). > Which gives them what power over the network, users, governance, code, nodes, validators, transactions? why can't you answer this basic question. I never said it gives them control over these things (another semantic argument). I'm saying it gives them control on what to spend XRP on (see above). Are you saying Ripple doesn't **control** what they spend it on? For example, they gave XRP to help the fire victims in LA because they control how they spend it. That doesn't mean they controlled a validator or node to do it. >Satoshi created BTC out of thin air and then designed a system to distribute it. Why does every BTC Maxi not understand how software code works and what PoW is? You don't understand how bitcoin mining works. It costs around $88,000 to mine a single bitcoin. Energy and expense was needed to create it. It was printed out of thin air by a corporation! >The IRONY of saying BTC was meant to destroy the banks and now you want the banks to only buy BTC I don't even understand what this means. You don't seem to understand a bitcoin reserve is not a bank.

never_you

1-2 million is more than enough for me . Half of the 4% pays for bills, food, hobbies etc. The other half, I'd keep reinvesting. I can see needing that much of you live in New York or LA, but out here, it's just unnecessary.

fungi_at_parties

Well, inflation is a thing, and the interest on 7 million would be 280k. In a HCOL area that’s decent, but not amazing. So maybe they live in LA, or Seattle, or New York. Maybe they want to have enough money to travel a bit, make sure it doesn’t run out. I don’t think I’d stop working until I had at least 5 million.

ADogeMiracle

$120 would barely get you half an omakase for 1 person in LA

hazcoin

Multisig has many advantages, like making it much easier to pass on funds to loved ones when you die, whilst keeping your funds secure while alive. And I would say yes, of course it makes a difference how many backups you have (not really backups, just a copy of each set of words), if one set of words is in New York, one in LA and one in Miami, I would say having them on paper is absolutely fine, the chances of two sets of your paper being destroyed before you can move funds are almost zero. Metal is only a priority if you have one seed phrase and only one. Thanks for your concern but been in this 10 years and not messed up yet 👍

tldr; Haliey Welch, known as the Hawk Tuah girl, has disappeared amid a court case involving her failed crypto project. Welch, who gained fame from a viral video, moved to LA to pursue celebrity status but is now facing a lawsuit after the $HAWK token lost all its value. The lawsuit accuses Welch and her team of exploiting her celebrity status to mislead first-time crypto investors. Plaintiffs are seeking over $150,000 in damages. Welch has not been seen publicly or active on social media since the scandal broke. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.

HegeCoin

I see others have answered the top holders question (that was my answer as well). We currently have about $260,000 in project funds. The way marketing funds are replenished is by raising money from the community. We've currently raised about $750,000 USD in donations and an additional $200,000 USD in NFT sales. Part of our strategy also is to keep a large percentage of our donation in HEGE so that as the market cap grows, the amount in our bank also grows. If managed properly, this can sustain us long into the future. We are always discussing partnerships. As an example, we are currently talking to a famous boxer about potential endorsement (have a HEGE banner at his fights, maybe his shorts, etc), but we are still at the beginning stages. We've had a decent amount of IRL advertising in the past including a plane banner that flew around the Hollywood sign and beaches of LA, an IRL sticker contest, and a custom HEGE painted RV that drove around the US for 2 months. We're continuing to come up with new events, but the LV sphere probably won't happen for quite awhile (last I looked it was $500,000 for 1 day and $1,000,000 for a week).

PlantsCraveBrawndo-

Sucks huh lol. Do you keep going back to the wallet, like maybe it’s a secret chamber room trick to finally cash out? I have like 100 bucks in an old defi wallet and it’ll cost like $75 to move the money…and ironically it’s ethereum that needs more ethereum to move. And Tusd…$40 of the stable coin need like 30$ to transact. This was my first attempt back 10 years ago at buying small cap coins and I would have never imagined the gas fees. At one pint it was like 300$ to move 10 Ethereum is a lot like using a freeway in LA. It’s repulsive and the HOV lane costs a paycheck to use, but it’s all we have to use. Thing is, MANY other blockchains have now bypassed Ethereum altogether and they’re just as secure, if not more. Proof of stake isn’t anything new but Jesus it’s archaic compared to so many other options. I’m waiting for a 2x on ethereum and I’m dipping out to better investments.

PleaseDoElaborate

Would the coin be able to recover if several of the top holders sold off their coins? At some point this will happen, and large retracements like that will wipe out many retail investors - how will momentum be held during these times? Are there plans to expand liquidity pools to reduce volatility from large sales? What is the current marketing budget looking like? I recall seeing a $200K budget, but surely that number has either gone up or down over time. How is the marketing budget replenished? If/when the marketing budget diminishes, how does the team envision organic growth for HEGE? Are there partnerships in progress that could drive utility and adoption independent of direct marketing efforts? Are there larger IRL advertising opportunities planned past NY billboards, such as the LA sphere? Are there plans to expand these advertisements globally to attract international retail investors? If yes, are there any specifics on when these opportunities are planned to be enacted?

Competitive_Guard007

Lol true story I left in 2011 LA for years San Diego for a year I'm not going to lie I loved it I doubt I'd go back though certainly not to live

FlyMeToTheMoon1978

Ok guys, here’s my story.. I seriously feel like a fuckin idiot every time I see the price of bitcoin… I had a high school friend back in the day, about 15 years ago, I went to his house to pick up some shrooms that he grew in a really cool setup in a fish tank with a vaporizer just keeping the spores nice and moist, this kid was a genius, anyway he was explaining bitcoin to me and how he was setting up his computers to mine them, I didn’t fuckin get it then and I still don’t get it now. I’m a decently intelligent person, especially in science, I aced college Chem and physics but the calculus kicked my ass so dropped out my senior year. While he was talking about bitcoin I couldn’t understand the point behind it and he never really urged me to buy any so it was a conversation that came and went. So the first time I ever heard about bitcoin the price was near $50 a coin and if he would’ve explained the idea to me a little more clearly and had the foresight to urge me to buy some saying that one day they’re gonna be worth a lot of money I would’ve put a few hundred dollars or something in it, but I didn’t even know what it was and I didn’t have any interest and I didn’t have any idea where to buy them.. I never really got into the deep end of computers like he was, I enjoyed playing video games more than trying to understand how a computer works. I’m not sure how many coins my buddy amassed in those early days or if he put any significant amount of $ into buying a bunch of them, I haven’t seen him since that day so by now he could be really wealthy and happy and I wish him the best and hope he did cash in on it. So wtf do I do now? At $90k a fuckin coin I feel like I already missed the boat by a light year so I still haven’t put any thought or money into buying some. I’m self employed in the scrap metal trade but it’s been a shit show the last 5 or 6 years since China shut the door on most scrap metals in 2018, I went from moving 40 containers a month into southern China with my really awesome Chinese business partners from 2012 to 2017 to almost nothing and it’s a real bitch.. I was happy and semi successful living in LA at the beach everyday working from my phone for a few hours a day and now I’m living with my parents again and trying to start a new company. So I’m 46 and dead broke, but my new company will be a success I know it, I’m getting into the alcoholic beverage business and about to launch the best fucking cocktail to ever be invented that I discovered in Aruba a couple years ago. I gave the bartender who made the drink for me at 10% share in my company to get the recipe and I’m right at the last step so if my investor comes through next month, I should be on shelves by April or May, and I’m taking this drink all across the US then to the rest of the world, it’s that good and everyone who enjoys a strong tropical cocktail it’s gonna be a customer for life. Anyways back to bitcoin, instead of asking all you guys if I should buy some one day when I have the money to do so, can any of you please tell me when will we actually be able to use bitcoin to buy anything in the real world besides drugs and weapons on the dark web, and secondly, what gives bitcoin it’s value besides the fact that there’s only 22 million coins to be mined, and with zero intrinsic value and a coin that’s basically a computer program. How the fuck can we justify that it’s real and tangible and valuable? It’s just a big mindfuck to me so if anyone can explain it a little better to me in an easy way I’d love to hear your thoughts. Thanks

Dumb fucks coming here to rant against a solution that doesn't screw people by bending over and giving those in power the "freeze and seize" functionality they've lusted for. How very pro Crypto. I'm sure all of you have no problem with safety deposit boxes being raided like that event in LA. Are totally OK with cash seizure if Officer Scruffy smells narcotics despite the known traces on all circulating currency. Jesus get out of this space.

> People in general are malicious animals Yet when radio hosts in LA did an experiment with a dummy wallet left in public with some cash and credit cards they had something like a 99% return rate as good Samaritans found the wallets and called the owner. The whole "humans are awful" thing is a tiresome old trope. Humans are amazing.

Agitated_Engineer512

Wealthy you own a house outright, maybe a little land and drive something boring. Fuck you money is banging LA models on top of your lambo. Just my humble opinion

masixx

Real estate is overpriced for decades now. Companies have only value if people are interested in the product they offer and if they have money to buy the product. None of those companies produces life essentials. No, your house build out of cardboard in soon to be a desert LA is not worth 5 million. No, you don’t need 500 square feet of housing per citizen, no useless empty office spaces in glass and steel palaces in overcrowded cities with failing infrastructure are not a great working space. You dramatically underestimate how overheated the markets are. Everything will crash and burn and people will kill for something to eat. And after that, once all trust into the government is gone down the drain, crypto will still be here to serve as the first and last monetary trust entity we will need from there on.

I’m not a trader I just buy and hold. I own two businesses here in LA.

I never owned a house. How much does property taxes average on a million dollar home? I can say I do pretty well for myself. I make 200k a year but everything is expensive here in LA. My 1000 sf apartment is 2500 a month.

moct1

Yeah this is going to be a huge help and with today’s market I’m not trying to pay 7% interest that’s another $1500 a month on a million dollar home here in LA. I would be super jealous to see bitcoin go 100k or more

moct1

I think it’s time for me to sell and buy house cash in LA. I own 5 bitcoins and my average price is 24k. Is this a dumb thing to do?

Im_not_satoshi

One of my friends brothers was back home in the from living in LA and he introduced me. Bought like .20 a few wells later and lost it all on bittrex trading bullshit. Had sour taste in my mouth for awhile after squandering more funds on shit coins and other nonsense. Then one day realized just stack corn and put it in cold storage. I’m doing just fine now. I have thousands of hours of research in at this point and you’re just absolutely a fool if you don’t stack a little each payday.

You just need to move to a place that respects law. Like in UAE thieves are sentenced to 25 years in prison, so no one there steals. If you like in a non-conceal permit blue city in the US, likes SFC, Seattle, LA, New York, yes you'll be a target.

Hour_Eagle2

Lived in LA for 15 years. Got tired of the bad beaches and hate Orange County so headed further south. Otherwise LA is pretty great. Enjoy SF a lot as well. These places require a certain level of wealth to fully enjoy but they kick the shit out of Florida any day.

What is a "city" ? LA ? NY ? I have 3 houses in a "city" with 200k population. My bank doesn't care where the houses are, just that it's receiving money. I'm not a real-estate agent or selling some "program" I"m just making it clear money can be made, and lots of it, in real-estate still and you don't need hundreds of thousands or a million to get started. I made my best deal 2 years ago in the peak of the housing market. Paid $20k on a place and traveled down there and did a little work over a 3 day weekend for right at an additional $5k. $25k "all in". I'm getting $1365 on a lease to own on it. I'm not selling Snake oil here bud, it's what I'm doing. On the other side of the Spectrum I have a $70k house I'm getting $1,300 for.

When people bet they tend to bet on who they genuinely think will win. They can certainly be wrong but they are trying to get it right. In 2016 the LA Times was consistently the only poll that had Trump winning or at least with a good chance of winning. They asked not who you are going to vote for but instead who do you think will win. That's essentially what people who bet are answering.

Satoshi was far more reasoned and rational. 3) There was a TX done by Satoshi in So Cal in the clear that Hal confirmed receipt. Len was elsewhere. 4) His widow disputes the Satoshi theory. Sadly, she is unable to access his encrypted computer. 5) Yes the tweets. Evan Hatch promoted the Len theory years ago: https://evanhatch.medium.com/len-sassaman-and-satoshi-e483c85c2b10 Reading further these items above are left unsolved. Especially the Satoshi clearnet Tx. Now, do I think Len and Hal knew Satoshi? Yes. And I think that they met at a rare disease clinic in LA.

tldr; A Los Angeles crypto entrepreneur, Adam Iza, known as 'The Godfather,' allegedly impersonated the FBI to steal cryptocurrency at gunpoint in 2018. He reportedly held a victim and his girlfriend at gunpoint to obtain laptop passwords. Iza, who ran the crypto platform Zort, is accused of conspiracy, tax evasion, and paying LAPD officers for unlawful acts. He allegedly evaded $1.7 million in taxes and used the funds for luxury expenses. Iza is set to appear in court on October 8. Several LA County Sheriffs were relieved of duty amid the investigation. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.

Technically the state has the account with the service it gets sent to They choose to have it automatically converted It not like you are sending random Bitcoin to the platform and they send it back to LA randomly There are checks and balances for the transactions

Too bad he’s stopped at a green light. Can’t really “enjoy” a 9114S for everyday use in LA unless of course he’s one of those dickheads who gets up to 4th gear between red lights 🤣

Unfortunately, there's no second amendment in the places you're most likely to need it to protect against thieves, like NYC and LA.

The average Tucker Carlson enjoyer is not someone you want to confuse with ideas about the conservation of energy, especially where they don't apply. They need to have straight facts. [Otherwise, they start thinking evolution is in question.](https://youtu.be/DfTU5LA_kw8?si=Xw_Qz0mRnTEzktGv&t=2320) Importantly, I don't even think tucker believes what he's saying here. It's a grift.

Those numbers are fact. I'm did not disclose my salary. But get a reality check. Median income for all US workers in 2023 was $48,000. Which turns tu be about $23 per hour. Not far from the random $20/hr that I picked. Again, get a reality check not everybody lives in NYC or LA.

Someone: Presents a counter-argument. You: "LA LA LA LA PROPAGANDA LA LA LA" The fact that this is about IQ makes your comments extra rich.

Lmfao, not sure if you read the news or not, but about 35% of all hotels in NYC are solely for housing migrants now, regardless of the cost of the hotel. They’re slowly cutting back on that because it’s costing the city so much, they’re flat broke. And now they have homeless migrants, and you get to see what the insides of those hotels looked like. Last time Paris was visit-able was probably 2013, but it’s been on decline forever. People are pretending it’s the same world it was 10 years ago. Have you seen the state of Europe? It’s pretty much the LA-race riots all over again, Ireland has been on fire for the last 2-3 months! You see NONE of it covered here. It’s insane. You barely caught the tractor/farmer riots in France and the Netherlands on western media, and those lasted a month as well. The most common thing these days between London, Paris, Berlin, and NYC, is that you can get stabbed by a North African without a passport and the only person penalized will be you or other victims for speech against the perpetrators. Literally, like the UK park gang-assault in May I believe, the female victim was 2 of 8 charged despite dna evidence from all men based on what she said about the perps to the news. I’ll PM you news articles if you want. People here really don’t get good news sources, I still get funny looks when I refer to South Africa as a failed state given the situation of mass-killings and near genocidal homicides against the Boers. I’m not a conspiracy theorist, all of this has video interviews, news articles, first hand cellphone videos, etc, that just never get published. Lastly - most people curious about holding crypto currency aren’t too jazzed on the stability and outlook of the world. Negative outlooks on global financial systems is why most people got into this in the first place.

Ngl that's what I was thinking, must live in LA or something lol

So I bought BTC from coinbase sent it to a wallet. Sending it to a wallet doesn’t mean you sold it or bought anything. The wallet could be a friend’s or another wallet you own. The wallet could have been hacked or lost, Those same coins travel to 10s of wallets all of which no one knows the intent. It’s the world’s first global currency that allows 8B people access to the network. If you cut my grass and I send you Bitcoin and you travel to Kenya for safari and send that Bitcoin on some food the best the irs can do is see a business in Kenya has the Bitcoin that came from my wallet but it went to a different wallet in between. That’s if the restaurant reports their Bitcoin transactions. I agree if you are in the states buying up LA mansions and lambos while your work history is McDonald’s the IRS will be like wtf.

Most for the paid syndication writers have limited crypto backgrounds- I did a deep dive once and the approx average years in the industry were around 3 years, the most being 5 or so. And by in the industry I don’t even mean professional experience- simply having bought crypto for the first time. Average age was mid-twenties. And most didn’t have any traditional finance background let alone any university education in economics/finance etc. The most laughable was a part-time actor living in LA who was probably decent enough as a writer to regurgitate a few talking points. Or the 23 year old living in Dubai living off his parents wealth (rather than any gleaned investment from crypto). All these guys are full of shit- take a look at this guys bio on the news page, there is zero real world info, just vague ‘experience’, he may not even be real as far as actual identity goes.

Bro, how are you going to use a fucking tropical island(s) as your example. Jesus… do you not understand how an islands economy works? Use any of the continental US if you would like. Cali or even NYC as more extreme examples, but the population of greater LA alone is more people than all of hawaii PLUS other states.

LA Times? Seriously? Useless propoganda.

Plenty of my friends work for CalState, and they're so much better funded than the Federal jobs. There are definitely many cities that are falling apart (SF, downtown Sac, downtown LA), but that's a city problem, not a statewide issue. I do wish the state would be more strict against repeat offenders and charge them as felons instead of misdemeanors. But that's not a budget issue.
