Here’s a picture of John Thain’s house. The was one of the biggest recipients of TARP bailout bonus money when Warren was TARP administrator. Now Warren is once again going to bay for her banker cronies because geeks have invented better money. Senator, you are a fraud.

From the beginning of time until 2020, former TARP administrator Elizabeth Warren held the world record of giving the most money to bankers of anyone in history. Much of the $700 billion bailout funds taken from citizens went to banker bonuses for yachts, mansions & sports cars.

Please explain how #Bitcoin is worse for the environment than the current petrodollar system! The Federal Reserve continuously prints more dollars, helping support zombie companies & promoting overconsumption - consuming way more “dirty” energy than #Bitcoin. Stop with the BS!

You're just so misinformed on this subject, it's embarrassing. This is literally the dumbest take you could possibly have on #Bitcoin. This is like the Trump Steaks of takes. It's like you went to Trump University and studied cryptocurrency.
