Once again, crypto follows the broader market and is tanking. The lie of crypto is that it's a hedge against the market/dollar. The truth is it's a speculative asset with no use case beyond crime.
It's all a con. Anyone who shills crypto should be understood as a con artist.

Over years, I have a few times called Musk a liar (across the country by 2016, then 2017) and thief (money for upgrades), on national TV even. Maybe that’s why my Twitter account has been blocked for a few months despite violating no rules. I can’t get it fixed.

This is outrageous but not surprising. If any Fulbright student is stuck in Norway, feel free to reach out and I’ll see if I can help!
Just got an email from the Fulbright Association. As of right now, funding has been cut off to 12,500 US citizens currently abroad and and more than 7,400 foreigner scholars and students in the United States
