I see bitcoin as an outta control ponzi scheme, bitcoin went from a pratical exchange token used for its anyomous, decentralized nature, into the very opposite, its now a speculative asset thats extremely regulated and now the majority of wallets on the blockchain are directlty connected to your identity and easily tracked by institutional powers and Governments. Bitcoin is a bit like Anakin Skywalker's death-  "BTC was the chosen one! It was said that it would destroy centralized banking, not join them! Bring balance to the world economies, not leave it in darkness!".  I began my crypto journey either late 2011 or early 2012, bitcoin was at $4 a coin, I remember when VICE wrote the first article on the SILKROAD it jumped to $7 and the community was livid. Despite its growth 99% of the use case of early BTC was to facilitate transactions with degenerates whom wanted buy illegal goods and clear the transaction as cheaply and fast as possible. In my day most everyone held BTC for a matter of hours before we sold it off. The hardest part of early BTC was actually getting it. You had at the time 2 choices that I knew of, MT GOX what honestly was a bit sketchy or some very small exchanges had BTC but you couldn't use U.S. dollars to buy it. There were no regulated altcoins, so the only currency I could easily trade into BTC was the Lindin. Thats the virtually currency of that old game Second Life. So in a modern sense I was trading roblox for crypto. Between the ONION network and BTC it was the perfect storm. I am sober now, but shopping was a dream on the silkroad, I felt like I was in the Wonka Factory, for any desire I had their were multiple vendors many with top tier products, it was an unregulated capitalistic market for Drug Dealing, with decent security against the FEDS too boot. Ya used BTC as a place holder for the US dollar, you sent the BTC to the vendors escrow account, they mailed directly the goods, and you released the escrow. Of course they had conmen, which is why reputable dealers dominated, but your info was not easily traced, we used PGP (Pretty good privacy) to encrypt our orders, of course this was still risky, but in todays age I doubt we would even use BTCs blockchain to facilitate these trades in the current day, BTCs daily price is far too volitile for small transactions, in one minute things can bounce around even, $50 of BTC is now $40. Its not a tangible currency for trading, especially miniscule amounts. Making it purely a speculative asset than one of utility. I was very early to BTC, I was in a haze as I saw it dramatically evolve, in my years I have bought roughly 500 bitcoins. I made absolutely no profit on any purchase, nor did I loose money - it was simply a tool for transactions. I will admit it's hard knowing you helped pioneer a revolution, if I never spent my coins I'd havr beyond generational wealth, yet the only reason I wanted and bought the coins was to fullfill an addiction/ escape. Honestly my story is probably one of thousands like it, in a case I feel like the guy who spent all that early BTC on a pizza, but if that man never bought that pizza, and the early BTC degenerate adopters never utilized BTC for the silkroad, would it be worth anything today? The legitimatized use for BTC is dead, it is essentially nontangible, badly encrypted (AI might decrypt BTC by 2030, easily by 2040)- its a growing Digital Number in the ether, it is worth whatever people will pay and thats dangerous. Somehow the worlds gone bananas spending fortunes for a now speculative asset that is used primarily to battle against Physical Gold, with the intended purpose to devalue the USD in Americas interest. Crypto like BTC will just be a safe haven against our rapidly declining dollar. The goalbis to deflate our USD dollar in order to print enough fiat currency, that it virtually erases its debt on the booksvand puts the bill squarely on the shoulders of the entire world's crypto cloud. Crypto seems to flow into the hand of institutional investors now, whom fought and hated crypto for over a decade, now that a great financial reset is inbound they no longer can ignore crypto. Some coins I think the utilities are actually pretty amazingly developed. I believe Ripple has laid the rails for modern world wide banking. Ethereum, Sol, Cardona I see growing beyond crap NFTs and meme tokens, into the tokenization of actual assets. Whether that be something tangible, like real estate tokenization, or investing in industrial elements like copper, lithium, uranium, and even the ability for the entire world to invest in any Stock around the world. A tokenized stock based off the actual stock price, allows people greater opportunities to invest in tons of different markets securely and legally, owning the stocks value while not necessarily holding the stock itself. Soon everything will be tokenized, why would a company sell a single person anything, when you can likely charge more and keep a piece of the asset yourself through tokenization. Say an Arthouse wants to sell a Van Gogh, the percentage of single investors whom both have enough purchasing power and interest in the asset to afford the entire piece outright in an auction is exponentially lower, compared to a tokenized sale of the same Asset. Why woukd the Auction House continue fretting about a single transaction for a Van Gogh for 100k, when they could more quickly tokenize it, sell 1000 Van Gogh Tokens at $100 each. Retail investors can easily justify $100 bucks to say they own part of an asset, I believe much quicker than a single rich investor buying it outright. Tokenization a win for everyone, including the Sellers, it allows it to sell much faster in all likelihood, and more people own a piece of the pie, so if that Van Gogh in 10 years is appraised at now $1 Million, each $100 token is now worth a $1000. Instead of the Monopoly man making all the money, now average Joe's get a piece of the action. Take my last example and apply it to anything and everything people might want to invest in. It is a brand new ball game.

Hungry-Class9806

There's [this](https://youtu.be/awQDLoOnkdI?feature=shared) crazy VICE documentary about the slave camps that North Korea has in Siberia. They basically send them there to work but the slaves think they're still in North Korea (by putting the names of the buildings and roads in Korean) so they don't feel tempted to leave.

Odlavso

Yeah saw a VICE video the other day about people buying USD on the black market in Argentina due to inflation being so high and banks having a really bad conversion rate.

LightninHooker

Is VICE still around? the shitcoin of journalism

Odlavso

this is what VICE news use to be when it started, they would show all sorts of crazy illegal shit happening and the reporters would put themselves in harms way to show what was really happening.

Wasn't VICE also one of the woke-left media that SBF splurged his other people's money on?

Wall Street, the 80s. Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale) sits at a conference table with his fellow stockbrokers. He removes a silver case from his pocket. One of his colleagues leans across, smirking. "Is that a gram?" "New card. Whaddya think?" Bateman slides his card across the table; it's off-white, with the words PATRICK BATEMAN: VICE PRESIDENT centred and embossed in black. The assembled party gasp in admiration. "Very nice." Bateman leans back in his chair. "Picked 'em up from the printers yesterday." "Good colouring." "That's bone. And the lettering is something called Silian Grail." Another broker interrupts. "It's very cool, Bateman, but..." He whips out his card, laying it next to Bateman's on the table. Off-white with the words ROBERT VAN PATTEN: VICE PRESIDENT centred and embossed in black, it is basically indistinguishable. "Egg shell, with Roman." Bateman smiles bitterly. "Nice." Now a third broker pulls out his card. It looks exactly like the first two, except it reads TIMOTHY BRICE: VICE PRESIDENT. "Raised lettering, pale nimbus." "Impressive", Bateman mutters. "Let's see Paul Allen's card." The room falls silent as the third broker produces an absent colleague's card. Bateman speaks in voiceover. "Look at that subtle colouring. The tasteful thickness." His face creases in horror. "Oh my God. It even has a watermark."

I analyzed this project, very good, they are a pioneer in adult content #cryptocurrencies, I think it will go well on the web3. $VICE

Few months? VICE's China Ghost towns documentary is now almost a decade old now.

Everything OP said is fact. Cheney is a huge POS. Hell… there’s even a movie on Netflix with Christian Bale called VICE about it

Did anyone read the VICE article on influencers that are paid to shill crypto? Pretty good read

Sapceghost1

I agree that we need to distance ourselves from Bukale, he is doing this for his own image. He is a dictator and will drag us down with him. Please watch this VICE documentary about him https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xmRaaVkvd8

Looking forward to the inevitable VICE documentary that reveals how shitty this place is.

My guilty pleasure project is $VICE (VICEWRLD).

The VICE article is so pathetic, “One supporter, a 15-year-old middle school student named Kim Ha-jin, is one young mind that’s been drawn in by Yoon’s rhetoric. Kim isn’t even old enough to vote, but he’s left with little doubt about whom he’ll back when he’s able. “ they needed to bring up a 15 year old who doesn’t even have voting right to back their claim 😂

Didn’t VICE do an episode about a father/son that the DEA said were impossible to find? They were mailing huge amounts of illegal drugs/pharmaceuticals to the US. VICE found them in like 3 days…

Isn't that exactly what you're doing with VICE?? lol

>Other messages flagged by Monmouth University extremism researcher Sara Aniano—and verified by VICE News—included: “We have 2A here in America send your mounties and see what happens,” “CABAL PIGLETS ARE CORRUPT CRIMINALS WHO NEED SEVERE PUNISHMENT UNDER LAW,” and “Death to all liberal traitors.” Yikes

vvillehelm

VICE writes on peaceful people engaging in the democratic process called protesting, and labels them all extremists and insinuates it’s an insurrection. So sad. Was never interested in the tripe that brand produces and calls news, but thank you u/sankirth_pabba for identifying another news source that I won’t bother with. Also, FYI, the crypto community is pro-freedom and anti-government overreach, if that’s not your jam, maybe fiat currency is more appropriate for you, it’s supported by the government, and helps the government achieve dominance over the people you hate (and then later it will be dominance over you, but that hardly matters to your type).

tldr; Christian crowdfunding site GiveSendGo was hacked on Sunday night, and the names and personal details of over 92,000 donors were leaked online. The site raised $8.7 million for the anti-vax “freedom convoy” in Canada. The database of 92,845 donors is no longer available, but VICE News was able to review a copy of the data. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

VICE ... bullish on nft dildos

witmeur27

I think you are missing the point. The VICE article is about the guy who made this video. VICE journalist is emphasizing the white man part for absolutely no reason here. Simply stating that watching a man lecturing at a desk for two hours would have been enough. Why the need to specify the white part ?

TheBuilderDrizzle497

Sounds like a great way to make transactions and reduce the impact of sanctions due to threats by other countries. I think this is a smart move by Russians. Russia had been really interested in Ethereum a couple years back. There’s a VICE documentary covering it made a couple years ago

witmeur27

Completely off topic but I spotted that in this VICE article : *Longer than The Big Short, it’s a big ask for YouTube viewers, particularly for a video that centrally and almost exclusively features one white man lecturing at a desk.* Am I the only one finding this "white man" remark completely inappropriate and pointless ?

strongkhal

There is a documentary with VICE where they talk about the situation. I think when the Ukraine government says so then it's true and not some Reddit user

Nah, they'd just threaten them with possession and drug trafficking. The IRS doesn't give a shit what you do as long as they get their money. That's VICE shit

Jollyapeinheaven

This is the kind of reporting we expect from VICE.

Castcle_Ecosystem

>sses the point, a moroni It's VICE dude. If it weren't for all the neocon outlets out there, it would be objectively the worst "journalism" site.

Philo_Beddoe99

"They seized it" You are giving the impression his money was taken and he didn't get it back. What is the follow up? Large sums of cash 99.9% of the time are an indication of illegal drug activity. Police are not responsible to do roadside forensic accounting and go through his paperwork. Sounds like the police acted reasonably and until it could be sorted by those with the expertise he was detained. Be careful with VICE, they are hardcore leftists and will present stories in a fashion that fit their narrative.

mingj4i

Watched a documentary on VICE similar situation however he was driving and was pulled over. He advised he had nothing to hide even told the cop he had the cash. Said he didn't trust banks, had all the withdrawal receipts to prove the cash was legit from work. They still seized it.

spaz69dt

Yeah this is who I thought it was. Dude is way out there a pay per view boxing venue! I wanna say VICE or someone did an interview with him that I watched. When he said his mom was a special education teacher i thought yeah she had to be because your a lunatic! We could collectively make an offer on this place and probably scoop it up for about 1/3 of the cost. It really is a beautiful waste of space!

MaintenanceInternal

Yea but sadly it won't be VICE CITY.

tesbiha

It is not simple as you portrayed. Millions of people from my generation took to the streets across Turkey during the Gezi Park Protests back in 2013. But I am afraid it ended badly because of the excessive use of police force with 10 people dying (some of them were just a child), thousands of injuries and thousands of people taken into custody. Here is a vice documentary about the protests if you are interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0Uwh971f6w&ab\_channel=VICE

Our $VICEWRLD is getting a lot of attention from the adult industry, several articles from specialized porn sites have already cited $VICE as one of the most promising tokens!

What? How could you not mention ViceWRLD ($VICE)? That coin is legit revolutionary when it comes to "Porn Coins". But yes, the next hype is porn, but Crypto style!

You forgot $VICE Last I checked they were launching an NFT platform soon. Wonder what NFTs they will be hosting...
