Well the value of the USD is based on the bond market which is essentially based on USA’s GDP.

I’m not saying stable coins don’t exist. I’m explaining the fundamental valuation difference between crypto and national currencies.

Also traded /= transacted. In the context of OPs question, the existence of stable coins has not pushed the needle on crypto from a trading asset to liquid transactable colloquial currency.

1. It’s actively transforming global agriculture. While the USA failed to innovate Canada has integrated blockchain into it’s agricultural sector to facilitate unparalleled traceability.

2. Blockchain transactions are painfully slow compared to other payment processers. BTC is only 7 transactions a second. VISA handles 65,000 transactions per second. That’s one of the major reasons we’re not seeing more widespread adoption.

3. Crypto currency isn’t backed by a nation’s GDP; which is effectively the mechanism that gives money value. However USA just passed laws recategorizing crypto issuers as financial institutions; that must comply with regulations such as having a % of their liabilities(crypto) as collateral (Cash). So we shall see where things go.

Sir this is for shitposting. Please take your comedy gold elsewhere.

After VW was caught spoofing their GDI engine emissions, we should have collectively stopped allowing anyone who makes a dime from the automotive industry be within 10 miles of emissions tests… never mind let them do their own fucking tests.

Automotive execs deserve the Nuremburg treatment for all the damage they’ve caused.

Look up how they fought and lied to keep lead in gasoline despite the severe public health risk. Absolute cretins.

If you want to argue that I’m calling fraud laundering than fine youre correct. But I think you’re confusing the cup and ball game I’m describing for a washing machine.

With trump, you pay him 100k dirty money, he gives you back 120k in clean money, and is happy because you said he was the best.

No you build him 100k of work which he doesn’t pay you for. You pay your (illegal) workers dirty cash under the table. Insurance company pays you the 60% of the contract value.

It’s a quid quo pro.

Just keep spinning up new shell corps with a different henchman owner on paper. That’s IF the rates get too high. The goal is to keep your goons paid so they can earn you money in other illegal ways.

Would explain how trump keeps finding companies willing to get stiffed by him.

Also who knows if he had an insurance broker in on it.

honestly trump has to be the best money launderer to ever live

It just occurred to me that it might be possible to launder money through loses and insurance instead of generating clean profit.

Like say he stiffs a contractors who’s both insured and in on it. They pay their workers dirty money under the table while the clean money comes from the insurance policy.

I’ve re-read the original article like 30 times now.

It’s bonkers to me that people are so quick to trust this unverified claim the complete footage (without Epstein getting murdered) exists when the footage already released has been proven to be doctored.

Like if this is legit than the footage needs to be released and verified by 3rd parties.

So even though the footage previously release has been verified to be edited… you’re just gonna believe that this allegedly complete footage exists… based on a CBS article with zero citations?

A government source familiar with the investigation says the FBI, the Bureau of Prisons and the Department of Justice inspector general are all in possession of a copy of the video that does not cut from just before 11:59 p.m. to midnight of the night Epstein died by suicide in his cell.

Well when that footage is released and independently verified than we’ll have something to talk about.

Considering CBS just capitulated to Trump I’m not going to trust their anonymous sources. Especially if they’re corroborating any Trump spokesman.

they are claiming

And you are trusting blindly.

I’ve provided evidence. You’re giving me pam bondis trust me bro.

Even if it’s true that the recording software’s clock always skips a minute at midnight… the footage wouldn’t be split up at that point.

There’s literally no reason for that footage to have been spliced the number of times that the metadata shows it was.

They could prove themselves by simply releasing the raw footage without the edits. Wonder why they don’t.

Oh well I did. Sounds like you guys didn’t really apply any critical thinking to what you read though.

Pam Bondi: “Trust me bro”

Me: “Lmao no”

You: “RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE”

B-b-b-but I thought racism was over cuz black president !

It’s working.

Well yea. Just cuz pam bondi says “there’s always a missing minute” doesn’t refute that the video footage they uploaded was spliced together by 2 separate clips.

https://www.wired.com/story/the-fbis-jeffrey-epstein-prison-video-had-nearly-3-minutes-cut-out/

Oh I see. You’re accusing me of not reading it when I’m simply not convinced.

Welp Pam bondi saying “there’s always a missing minute” doesn’t really factor when the video is spliced together and demonstrably so.

Dead link? Not sure what you mean there. Here’s the important parts of the link I provided.

On Friday, WIRED published an analysis of metadata embedded in the video, confirmed by independent video forensics experts, which indicates that the file was assembled from at least two source clips, saved multiple times, exported, and then uploaded to the DOJ’s website, where it was presented as “raw” footage.

WIRED’s initial analysis found that those saves took place over a 23-minute span; however, further analysis of additional metadata shows the file was actually edited and saved several times over a period of more than three and a half hours on May 23, 2025. Specifically, the file was created at 4:48 pm and last modified at 8:16 pm ET that day. The metadata also references “MJCOLE~1,” which is likely a shortened version of a longer username. While it likely begins with “MJCOLE,” the full name cannot be determined from the metadata alone.

Both analyses found that the two clips, labeled “2025-05-22 16-35-21.mp4” and “2025-05-22 21-12-48.mp4,” were stitched together. The first clip is 4 hours, 19 minutes, and 16 seconds long, but only the first 4 hours, 16 minutes, and 23.368 seconds appears in the published version, meaning nearly 2 minutes and 53 seconds were cut from the end. According to the metadata, the cut occurs just at 11:58:58 pm. The cut is milliseconds before the one-minute recording gap that Bondi said was caused by a quirk of the surveillance system. The second clip, “2025-05-22 21-12-48.mp4,” picks up immediately afterward, continuing the footage from 12:00:00 am until 6:40:00 am.

The metadata says otherwise.

I personally am not going to take the word of Pam Bondi and some anonymous government insiders on this one.

If the footage wasn’t edited than this complete footage can also be independently verified by digital forensics. Until then there’s no evidence to back up this claim.

Right now all we have is an unverified claim by CBS (Capitulation Broadcasting Systems) that just so happens to corroborate a Trump spokesman.
