Strange how sometimes bitfinexed is on twitter, then all of a sudden it's some kind of closed account only for his cult followers and other such cronies. Seen it times before, appears to me to come out of the woodwork to gloat & get back slapping praise off folks. Then clears off behind some restricted account or whatever it is. Or isn't that done anymore?. No longer the cut & run practice?. Has he been trying to create some sort of exclusivity, whipping up some personal demand amongst the masses or some such thing to make himself feel valued.
Either way tales of $160,000 stuck in limbo/difficulty to withdraw is all a bit of a laugh really. All those in any way engaged in this Natural Resources & Wealth Wastage, the crime of Cryptocurrency usage, have little to no sympathy from me. Should all have been banned from the start, now the rot has set in, to be rid of it in the US for instance would lose so many votes no political party would ever consider doing it. Putting their political self interest above the self interest speculations of cryptocurrency users that is not only damaging to them it is damaging their communities and the World as a whole.
The sort of Inhuman that exhibits the similar effects of cryptocurrency Degeneracy was previously restricted to those utter cgaf's who are heavily/loftily into stocks/shares and heavy compulsive betting & gambling. Now that clinical self self self above everything & everyone else mindset has spread a hundredfold amongst the common once decent folk, (On the whole many mainly were). Your societies cannot withstand for much longer such a volume of these types amongst you. The harmful effects are already increasingly to be seen… but not seen.
Corruptocurrency has cryptorrupted so many people they may never ever again be made whole. But then they couldn't care much about that, the majority are just too far gone. Bitfinexed has to his credit in his Bitfinex exposes put some off getting involved in it all, if only a small number compared to all those that have sadly been sucked into it, great carry on Macduff, a worthy thing indeed, even if that was or was not the intended purpose, it's been a bit of a Brucie bonus.
