If you don't own crypto, you're screwed because the President is using our tax dollars to buy "crypto reserves" and jack up the price. But if you buy crypto, you're screwed, because you're too late to the ponzi scheme that this is.

When the headline of a news story ends with a question mark (What Really Happened to Jonbenet?), you can be pretty sure the central question of the story will go unanswered. I don’t waste my time.
