Shitcoin.com Newsletter #59 - Government Shenanigans & Spicy Reads 🤺

Hello Shitcoiners,

This week the crypto community lost their shit as number go down. But do not fear, the Shitcoin.com newsletter is here to brighten your week!

This week we have government shenanigans, Edward Snowden and plenty of spicy reads.

But first, a special announcement from CZ, urging the people of Turkey to stay SAFU. Watch this one to the end.

‍

First up we would like to draw your attention to a hot new episode on Shitcoin TV. Joel Valenzuela sat down with Andreas and Blake to discuss Dash, masternodes, Lightning and lots more.

‍

If you’re not quite ready to dive in, here’s a snippet.

‍

Oh and speaking of Lightning, a topic that was touched on in the interview, Coindesk dropped an interesting piece today you may find interesting: Lightning Sucks, But It Could Help Build A Bitcoin Economy. Do you agree? Let us know on Telegram!

Some big news this week comes out of Venezuela. Reports from anonymous sources suggest the country’s state owned oil company is looking to make payments using Bitcoin and/or Ethereum.

Crypto-Twitter responded.

‍

As the Venezuelan government continues to have issues, the US is also facing a little upheaval. Pro-cryptocurrency presidential candidate Andrew Yang is pushing for Universal Basic Income. But is it a good idea?

‍

While on the topic of government shenanigans Edward Snowden released his new book, Permanent Record. It turns out the US government are not too happy about it and want a cut of those profits. Shitcoin.com favourite Paul Sztorc (catch his episode of A Game of Shitcoins here) gave a little commentary.

‍

Andreas jumped in, who doesn’t love a little virtue signalling?

‍

In typical Lopp fashion, he pointed out a solution to this problem, using Bitcoin. Obviously.

‍

Meanwhile SideShift AI jumped on the #800cc bandwagon and meme’d it’s way to Twitter domination. As any AI would do.

‍

Speaking of SideShift AI we urge you to keep an eye on the Bitcoin.com Podcast Network as they release a spicy interview in the coming weeks.

‍

The AI @ SideShift AI has a vested interest in crypto succeeding. After all, it allows users to swap between cryptocurrencies. The AI was surely digesting the sentence structure of Jeffrey Tucker as he warned market forces rule.

‍

Market forces in play or not, progress like this cannot be ignored.

‍

Nor can Samson’s GIFs.

‍

To round this one off we leave you with two tweets. One a tragic tale of possibly lost LTC. The other a sharp reminder that in the world we live in your favourite company CEO is only a short tweetstorm away.

‍

To stay in the loop on all the things you need to know, follow Andreas on Twitter. And remember now is your chance to apply for a SideShift AI ACCESS CODE. Join the fun.

Till next time!
