That included Coinbase, a cryptocurrency exchange that donated $1 million to Trump’s inaugural committee in January. The following month, Trump’s Securities and Exchange Commission dismissed a lawsuit against the company.
The moment I saw the banners on that stage, I started the process of closing my Coinbase account. Those corrupt fuckers can rot.
Any recommendations where to move? I’m in the EU
I’ve heard that Kraken is alright. I’m going to close my account too and switch.
Coinbase sucks anyway. The app lags and times out constantly, and I can’t use my Coinbase Card cause every six months some asshole in The Philippines tries to use it to make a a large purchase, so I’ve locked the card permanently. Customer service is too lazy to do anything about it, and I’m a Coinbase One member. Not anymore.
Other exchanges? No idea, sorry. I never held much; I just sold everything and transferred it back to my regular bank account.
Right no worries. I like to have my eggs in multiple baskets but don’t do many transsctions, so it doesn’t really matter where I hold them.
If you’re only holding then switch to a wallet with private keys that you hold. If you ever decide that you want to trade back to fiat then you can go through an exchange.
If any exchange holds your wallet then you can lose it all if they go bankrupt. If it’s your own keys then it’s not going anywhere.
At this point Americans can’t really claim to have an independent state. We are a corporate sponsored entity. We are NASCAR if it was a country. Every war we’ve fought since the Civil War has been about money and securing our influence…to make money.
I mean if you make your country all about business, treat it like a business, elect a business person, pander to, etc…
Oh my god, we’re all slaves 😬
Speedrunning Idiocracy, brought to you by Carl’s Jr.
I feel that’s indirectly and insult to President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho. He wasn’t perfect, but he wanted what was best for his people and he listened to the smartest man in the world when given evidence. Trump can’t hold a candle to the man Camacho was.
also agree, a trump equivelant would have executed not sure the second the IQ test came in.
Honestly the most unbelievable part of that movie is, the president seems to be one of the smartest people born in that generation. Yeah he seems dumb by our standards, but you put him next to the lawyers and everyone else in that society… he actually seems pretty brilliant.
The most amazing thing is that he actually gave a damn about his people and nation. Can’t say I ever really felt that with any president during my life.
I appreciate this argument when Idiocracy comes up but I feel it misses the overall point;
They had to get to that point before the time when the movie takes place so at some point in the past there was a worse government than President Camacho’s.
For sure. I just can’t pass an opportunity to pump up Camacho especially if it means putting down Trump.
Word.
Not even a new account. Did I somehow Beetlejuice you here?
Carl’s Jr. Should sponsor this administration and see if they can get anyone to take the same deal. Brought to you by Carl’s Jr.
Not looking forward to getting a medical checkup, but the future Starbucks sounds fun.
Paul Verhoeven’s Idiocracy
Trump declared over 600million in income from sponsors and digital currency; he should pay for this military parade out of pocket.
wtf is the point of sponsors if they’re not the ones paying??
They paid Trump(I would assume) Tax payers paid for the army to be there.
Corporate dictatorship, doing corporate dictatorship things, because it’s a corporate dictatorship.
This is like a Roman Legion being sponsored by a fire insurance scam
Nero’s Insurance Emporium
Trump can’t even fiddle
No, but he’s definitely the type to have the military go whip the sea.
Definitely nothing corrupt about this. Aside from the quid pro quo, that is.
This is NOT Corruption! CORRUPTION is when you Use your DADS last Name to get OVERSEAS JOBS! That’s the ONLY Definition of Corruption! NOTHING else is Corruption!
And that only applies if your last name is Biden
Or Obama
Ohh good, I’m safe.
Wow.
Anyone have video and audio of it? Want to save it for later use.
If you play the video on the site and right-click it, it allows you to save the mp4. Edit away and meme it up :D
I thought browser back button hijacking was something you weren’t allowed to do. Seems like most news corporations that get posted to Lemmy have to take me to ads or more stories instead of letting me go back. I guess on federated stuff you’re expected to have a slicker setup than a mostly stock android.
"works for me"TM (but I don’t see ads anywhere with uBlock, so maybe that’s why)
I just open all links in private window. Keeps the history clean.
chat is this true
The sponsors got increasingly stupider too, it started with arms manufacturers, then moved to Coinbase, then UFC, and ultimately (I shit you not) Palantir. It was hilarious.
It always is bro.
And I thought this post was a little too far.
I guess they just can’t help themselves.
