Logged on 2023-11-15 16:05:48 asciilifeform[jonsykkel|signpost|billymg]: lizard objective is quite transparently to turn btc into au, i.e. where almost all of it is bottled up in handful of reich warehouses, and people can 'trade' all they like but exclusively with paper simulacrum which is worth what they say it's worth |

I think that view understates the degree to which USG mismanagement can harm lizards too. |
| 13:23 |
billymg |
despite their shitcoinery binance at least seemed a net positive in that it was the last exchange operating outside of reich control |

I'm 100% fine with shitcoinery existing as a fool-and-his-money separator. |

one has to marvel at bankerism in this regard. nobody escapes being a part of the boot, or the gunk beneath. |

signpost even read an entertaining hypothesis recently that BTC is meant to *shore up* dollarism by crushing out weaker fiats |

i saw binance as being a CCP proxy as much as FTX was for USG. the FTX sinking looked like a blow to usg |

so now this binance coup looks like a USG victory |

could've been, yep. FTX was certainly funneling money to the right people. |
| 13:29 |

so long as they manage to keep people from paying each other in BTC directly there is no threat whatsoever to dollarism |

the most plausible thing is that subj was a 'misfiring piston' in the heat engine and nao will be under 'proper' management |

billymg |
asciilifeform: right, but i guess that means east and west reich are cooperating in their control of the 'heat engine' |

billymg had hoped their might be some balance of power, rather than the two reichs colluding |

asciilifeform not convinced that the fiatola oligarchy network ~has~ an 'east' and 'west' in the contemplated sense |
