who didn't see this coming? You had major Asian powers cracking down on mining and forbidding its use, pretty much every western country trying to control it for tax purposes.
Now people are under investigation...
I know several people that lost 2 zeros off thier net worth this month. I tried to tell them to sell it when it hit 40, than 50 and finally 60k.
I wish I could say I am shocked, but I am really not. I am so glad I never got sucked into the hype.

I installed mining software on my pc but after 3 months I had only netted .70 cents not .70 coin, but .7 cents. Either I lack the horse power or my anti-viral sw was interfering so I quit running the program.

There was a window to make money on this thing.
Ultimately no government is going to allow any kind of "currency" they cannot control.

I am hearing two stories on this:
1. This guy used liquid assets to invest outside cryptocurrency and was not liquid enough to cover the run on his bank when panic hit.
2. He spent huge sums on politicians to get legislation that would benefit and protect him against all competition.
Would really like to know full truth, and how much of what happened in the collapse was caused by politician corruption and how much by government sabotage.

He must have been outrageous in demands to the politicians.
Silly boy.
He thought he owned them.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I saw an analysis this AM (Redacted) where they made the point that FTX was set up and used to do exactly that - "regulate" crypto. We'll see if that happens.

He obviously forgot the adage that you never own a politician, you just rent them.

Hello, Pathfinder. I recently bought so many morale patches I would need a Velcro vest to wear them all. This is one of them. The make another one for the AH-64 Apache, but I could never identify with it.
I always liked the AH-1 Cobra, the only army helicopter I know of that wasn't originally named after a Native American tribe. I'm not including ones like the Pave Hawk, that's based on a Blackhawk as being separate. And if anyone is thinking, what about the Little Bird? It was originally based on the OH-6 Cayuse. The AH-56 that was made 19 years before the Apache was introduced was called the Cheyenne, and probably should have been adopted. Its maximum speed was 244 mph vs. the Apache's 182 mph. And a cruising speed of 224 mph vs. 165. An extra 59 mph cruising speed is nothing to sneeze at as the old saying goes. But nothing is as narrow of a target as a Cobra. I think I would have liked being a pilot or gunner, but would have a hard time being a Snake Driver. The inside of the Cobra's cockpit doesn't look like much more than shoulder width to me.
