We have photographic evidence. What more do you need? This isn't a criminal court.

That picture could've been literally anything as far as I could tell

Why would I need to torrent it? And how do I know it's legitimate? I had assumed that the big news about its contents would break any day now. All I've ever seen is people talking about what people told them that they totally saw on it.

It has numerous photos and text conversations that are timestamped and geo located to verifiable locations where he would be. The pattern of life seems reliable. It’s all rather tragic lots of drugs, prostitutes and mental health issues abound if you dig in. I don’t recommend it.

Right, I don't doubt that. But what I'm unsure about is why Trump et al claim it shows Joe Biden is compromised.

Dog-coin nonsense has a 24hr trading volume of $669M. There's actually quite a bit of liquidity in crypto since it lends itself to HFT. BTC for instance has a 24hr TV of $37B, making it one of the most exchanged assets in the world.

Exchanged for other crypto. The inflow and outflow of real money is on a much smaller scale, about $200 million per day for BTC.

There's some compromising text messages and emails that elude to Biden being involved in Hunter's corruption. Specifically one that calls out '10% for the big guy' when discussing equity split where hunter and his partner are already covered. Contextual information around those emails indicate there may be a 'there there' but, a proper investigation would need to be conducted to determine if the evidence indicates what it appears to indicate.

I absolutely guarantee the FBI didn't do a proper investigation into the information on the laptop.

Coinbase has to be the biggest winner here. Despite some odd stories about Armstrong past couple of years, they appear to act like “adults”. BTC and ETH are not going away for awhile.

Everyone in the crypto sphere is a gigantic loser. The overall market cap may never recover and there is surely going to be much lower volume because of this. Maybe the biggest winner is traditional equity holders since all the crypto exiters will probably park their money in stocks.

I am convinced BTC and ETH are both here for the long haul or at least until Fidelity dumps them. That’s when I will know the game is over. Just get ready for the next shitcoin era in about two years. My guess is Elon will roll out crypto tied to Twitter when he’s ready to cash out.

I'm amazed that a man can build a company that literally created a reusable rocket and people will still call him a "bullshit artist". Also incredible how everyone on the left turned on Musk so quickly because he...tweeted some bad jokes? Strange reality we live in where your actions seem to matter so much less than your words. I thought it was the other way around.

People are acting towards him like that exactly because they praised him before and were holding him at high esteem. I certainly did. Now he started to disappoint people, multiple times. Nobody cares (much) about CEO of Comcast, or BP, or Electronic Arts. They have bad reputation and when they do something bad again, people just shrug and move on. While people with good reputation doing same things are discussed a lo…

>Also note that Comcast, BP, EA etc. are all successful businesses. They just shitty to humans, but successful. So founding a big successful technology company is a big achievement, but not a unique one.

What nonsense. If Comcast didn't exist, some other company would provide cable service to its customers, and NBC would have another owner. If BP didn't exist some other oil company would be searching for petroleum in the Gulf of Mexico and northern Alaska. If EA had gone the way of Epyx, Synapse, SSI, or 99% of other video game companies founded in the early 1980s, its video games would have appeared under another publisher's banner.

If Tesla[1] didn't exist, would the global e-car industry be anywhere close to what it is today? If SpaceX didn't exist, the odds are very, very high that the rocket industry would still be 100% expendables into the foreseeable future.

[1] Yes, yes, I know Musk didn't found Tesla
