N’wahs be like “what’s the move?” bro you live in Gnaar Mok, there is no move

Do Kwon has been sentenced to 15 years in prison. It's been a long fight, but the moment is finally here. In the months following the Terra collapse in May 2022, Do Kwon was living a life of luxury in Singapore, out in the open. He gave interviews, went to fancy restaurants, and spoke about building LUNA 2.0 so he could rinse retail one more time. Up until September, he was chilling. He had destroyed lives. People had committed suicide. Life savings had been stolen. But nobody cared, and people who spoke out were called "conspiracy theorists". It was maddening, and extremely frustrating. In these months - May, June, and July of 2022 - various insiders and whistleblowers from Terra and Jump came forward, allowing me to disclose a few key facts proving systemic fraud, including the facts that Chai and Mirror were faking transactions on-chain to dupe investors, and most importantly, that Jump secretly bailed UST out while taking a bribe, misleading retail investors and the market into thinking the UST algorithm "self-healed". The work of whistleblowers and the collective voices of Terra victims allowed us to publish all of the facts years in advance. We were constantly dismissed as "FUD," "conspiracy," and "lies". Now, all this time later, all of these facts have been documented and decisively proven in court filings. In this initial phase - when Do Kwon was living his best life with money stolen from victims - other whistleblowers and I had multiple calls with the SEC, FBI, and SDNY explaining exactly what went down in simple terms, with all of the receipts. In October 2022, after these revelations came to light, Do Kwon's downfall began, and he went on the run from the law. He was captured in March 2023 and made his first appearance in a US courtroom in January 2025. Early on, I didn't think this day would come. But now I know it always would. What's my point here? Twitter is real life. Crypto is full of rug pullers and scammers - many highly sophisticated and manipulative. Most get away with what they do. People like Zach manage to catch a couple big ones, but law enforcement doesn't have nearly enough resources to go after everyone, and most of the wrongdoings in this space get swept under the rug. But if you are being wronged - harassed, tormented, scammed, rugged, whatever it may be - just know that there are decisive actions you can take to bring justice in this world. With enough organisation, dedication, and grit, it is possible to move mountains and shift the world around you. It's possible to say things online and have effects happen in the real world. And it's possible to nudge the wheels of justice in the right direction even if you think you're a nobody. I'm still a random guy from the UK with no real special ability or power. But simply by speaking my mind and trying my best - and stumbling upon the help of some wonderful people from this community - we were able to create some real tangible change in the world. I guess what I'm trying to say is - keep posting, keep doing, keep fighting for what you believe to be truthful and good. Don't bow down in the face of evil, and don't give up. Even if you are small, you can be much more powerful than you know - you just have to keep going and have a bit of determination (because most people don't), and the universe will often shift itself around you to make way for the right path. Thanks to everyone who follows my words and helped support all of us Terra victims and whistleblowers on this journey. I have a feeling this isn't the end of the road - there are new monsters on the horizon. But if we keep pushing and representing each other against evil - I think we'll figure it out in the end. ❤️

A fantastic proposal by @brett_oland on the creation and transition to an Albertan Dollar (ABD) once Independence has been declared. Analysis: Alberta’s ABD proposal is a bold swing at sovereignty, blending sound money vibes with crypto flair. As a freedom junkie, I dig the anti-fiat rebellion; escaping CAD’s inflationary grip for something backed by real assets. But is it true liberty, or just swapping one overlord for another? Let’s dissect it, phase by phase, through the prism of individual rights, markets, and minimal coercion. Phase 1: Bridge to Freedom (or Controlled Chaos?) Dual-currency flex: Letting CAD & USD coexist buys time without forced fiat swaps. Early adopter tax credits? Smart nudge toward voluntary choice, not mandates. Independent ACB setup: Lottery-picked experts with staggered terms and anti-interference penalties scream “hands off the tiller.” No political hacks printing funny money; pure Hayekian gold. Phase 2: Igniting the ABD – Hard Money, Hard Freedom Now we’re cooking. Launching ABD backed by gold (50%! Hell yes, the ultimate inflation slayer), oil flows (20%, our black gold sweat equity), short Treasuries (20%, pragmatic without the long-bond trap), and Bitcoin (10%, the digital rebel hedge)? This quadripartite fortress demands 30% reserves minimum; no funny money without backing. It’s Austrian economics with a crypto twist: Discipline baked in, dynamic tweaks by the ACB, quarterly check-ins sans veto. Physical notes mandatory for businesses? Untraceable cash forever? That’s a middle finger to surveillance states. Love it. The Gold and Silver Legal Tender Act? Pure fire. No taxes on using them, ever. Free-floating value tied to spot, government has to take it for taxes? Businesses opt-out if they want? This isn’t lip service; it’s enshrining alternatives to fiat overlords. Hedge your stack, pay your dues in bullion, watch the ACB certify it clean. Digital ABD on blockchain, with privacy opts and a hard ban on trackable CBDCs? Seamless USD stablecoin bridges? We’re talking borderless trade without the nanny cam. But let’s not get starry-eyed. Fixed-rate conversions from USD/CAD? Even with a year grace, that’s the state dictating value. I would let markets roar instead. ACB doling reserves to banks? Noble guardrail, but central banks are history’s wolf in sheep’s clothing. Tie oil too tight, and a dip in rigs could spark pleas for “stabilization” funds. BTC volatility? Love the inclusion, but at 10% cap it tight or risk spooking the herd even though I think it could be higher. In sum: This is sovereignty with teeth. Options over orders, resilience over reliance. The Big Picture: A Spark for True Independence Alberta, this ABD plan isn’t flawless; no rebellion is. But it empowers us with sound money, precious metal parity, and privacy shields that mock the Bank of Canada’s debasement game. That said, success hinges on starving the beast: More decentralization, zero tolerance for controls, ACB as servant not sovereign. Tweak it right, and we’re not just a new state; we’re a beacon for every fed-up soul chasing untrammeled markets. Freedom isn’t gifted; it’s seized. This is our shot. Read the full plan, weigh in.

True knowledge exists in knowing that you are retarded.

Drop your best Oblivion meme while we all wait for the Remaster to download.

It's such a disappointment that so many of the world's richest men have no better outlet for their massive fortunes than a 500-foot yacht. BAP is right: these people have less power, for all their money, than the smallest tinpot African dictator.

If I had any advice for younger people, it's not to spend your money on things and to spend money on doing things instead. I used to hate traveling, I really grew into it. New places, people, food, and experiences. The world is huge, go see it.

You seriously haven't played Broforce yet???
