I don't think it has been emphasized enough that what this guy spent $6 mil on was a certificate that gives him the right to duct tape a banana to a wall and call it "Comedian". The artwork was "created" in 2019. That is not the original banana or even the original duct tape. This guy thought he was being edgy by eating it. In reality everyone (including, I assume, most billionaires) thought he was being a fool. Sigh. Has anyone found a portal out of this timeline yet?
Only in the sense that Tyson was 58 years old and hadn't fought for decades. Jake Paul has yet to fight a competent opponent in his own age bracket. If he ever does, I won't be betting on him.
Oh, and this crypto thing is just legalized bribery, of course. Who cares? Certainly not the electorate.
I stopped giving a number of years back and was able to help my Philippines cousins leave a termite infested house after a typhoon blew off the roof and kept killed her only source of income, a water buffalo.
There are so, so many more Justin Sun stories we could dive into here, but let’s just cap this off with some 2024 lowlights: There were sanctions against Sun’s businesses by fellow players in the crypto industry, flailing attempts to keep more crypto businesses aloft, and Sun’s appointment as prime minister of a fake country (https://qz.com/crypto-entrepreneur-justin-sun-prime-minister-of-liberl-1851669959) that claims to use Bitcoin as its currency.
Liberland is on territory neither Serbia or Croatia want. This makes me think it's probably a major environmental disaster area. Perhaps when Yugoslavia was still a thing Tito used it as a dump for toxic chemicals, or as a site for Yugoslavia's nuclear weapons program.
I think we can make a reasonable guess that Sun isn't some kind of Chinese intelligence operative. His behaviour sounds too wacky for that.
And Anna Banana just died 😭
Will someone enforce the emolence clause of the Constitution?

And they said Joe Biden was old and incoherent.
How many hungry kids could have been fed with that $6.2 million?
Not to mention housed and clothed. But ya know, they're just kids, right? Not as important as buying artwork and then eating it.
At this point, I'm actually in favor of bankrupting every dumbfuck MAGA moron in the country.
This influence peddling should be looked into, strongly!

We are sooooo fucked in the dark without any lube.

Slate really goes to town on this guy:

One can hope!

It's only December and I can't stand his name being EVERYWHERE. MAKE IT STOP. Thank you.😕
Eat the Rich, Save a Banana.
Is there anyone attached to crypto who isn't a completely bankrupt human being?
Noted, and added to the Encyclopedia of Fun!
