Shitcoin.com Newsletter #8 (September 7th, 2018)

Hello Shitcoiners,

If Bremano (more on that later), CSW and random bits of shitcoin goodness are your thing, you're in luck.

Andreas has some real treats in store for you this week.

The Bremano saga continues

He went to Vegas and he did what only Romano could, he fulfilled the prophecy.

Bremano was born.

When you’re in Vegas hanging out with pornstars, it can’t be all work and no play right?

Fast forward a week and although he might have thought it was over, the drama surrounding Romano and his licking rages on. While we like to believe that the prophecy still held strong and had a lot to do with that market upturn, Twitter has been hammering our favourite Via-man.

In a heart-wrenching tweet Romano assumed the worst, is Brenna with someone else?

One of her latest tweets from Germany, where she’s attending EthBerlin, suggests yes (is that you back their Ameen, CEO of SpankChain?). Occupational hazard of being a pornstar I suppose.

On the topic of ETH, religion and crypto are aligning in the most unusual ways. Pop Francis, welcome to the blockchain!

Let the Satoshi spice flow

For some it matters, for others it doesn’t. One thing’s for sure is that the bitcoin space loves a little spicy speculation on the true identity of Satoshi.

Craig Wright is the loudest “Satoshi” out there. Ryan Charles has been publicly stating his stance. He seems adamant it is Craig who started this whole thing.

Calvin also gave his two cents, proclaiming Craig invented the internet. Bold. A Peter Todd rebuttal used the same logic to conclude that he invented Craig Wright. Also bold.

Crypto-ception and CSW-ception are a real thing now.

The drama didn’t slow down at all last week. Some claim Roger Ver automatically unfollowed Craig Wright due to CSW blocking him. Who knows? But this went down.

One thing we know for sure is that the “BigBlockers” know how to put on a show. Enter Jihan Wu, co-founder of Bitmain who is infamous for his sporadic, but hard-hitting “fuckyour mother if you want fuck” tweets.

You should not mess with the Jihan.

Craig also put his Twitter-foot in it again this week. He called Ross Ulbricht “scum”.

The supposed Silk Road sysadmin was given two double-life sentences for money laundering, computer hacking and conspiracy to traffic narcotics. He has never been charged for murder.

Andreas responded.

Or better yet, pick up some CSW pop-art!

From our cult hero to another, our favourite Blockstream developer is back! GMax has been making waves again after a long hiatus.

The benevolent dictator himself even had a little gratitude.

Meanwhile over at Dash rumours are circulating that their team are on a retreat in South America or something. They seem to be going balls deep with their Venezuela efforts lately.

One things for sure, their 1980’s-inspired office is looking a little lacking in human beings.

As the bear market continues, LinkedIn appears to be getting smarter. They know it’s only a matter of time before we’re all working with Ronald.

With prices, wealth and the will to live all taking a serious hit in recent weeks, it’s crazy to think that exchange listing prices are still going through the roof. If we are all losing money, at least CZ is still making a killing.

If all else is failing and your net worth is slowing making it’s way back to zero, revisit a piece of history and ask yourself an important question, “Should I HODL?”.

We hope all is clear now.
