'Roaring Kitty' GameStop investor hit with lawsuit​

A man who became a key player in frenzied trading of GameStop shares last month has been hit with a class action lawsuit.
Keith Gill, known as 'Roaring Kitty' on YouTube, allegedly duped retail investors into buying inflated stocks while hiding his sophisticated financial background.
Mr Gill has downplayed his impact and rebutted claims he violated any laws.
Separately, he will testify on Thursday to Congress about the "Reddit rally".
"The idea that I used social media to promote GameStop stock to unwitting investors is preposterous," Mr Gill said in the prepared testimony.

The whole NFT mania marked the peak of the market for a lot of things. Never invest in anything that doesn't have some intrinsic value is an easy concept to follow.
 
whatever the asset…it’s always just a jenga game…😂😂😂

Crypto giant Genesis is 'days away' from bankruptcy after suffering steep losses in wake of FTX collapse: Firm owes creditors $3 BILLION - including $900M to Winklevoss twins​


  • Crypto broker Genesis is said to be in the final stage of its Chapter 11 paperwork
  • The company, which is owned by venture capital firm Digital Currency Group, had been considering filing for some time, as it reportedly owes creditors $3bn
  • Among those are customers of Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss's Gemini
  • The statuesque twins - perhaps best known for their protracted legal battle with fellow billionaire Mark Zuckerberg - recorded $900m in losses when FTX fell
  • Cameron and his brother's exchange used Genesis as its main lending partner, leaving the brothers - and millions of their customers - the red as a result
 
There has to be some type of regulated digital currency that will come out of all this... although the current credit card/debit card system probably works.

Most people are using Venmo/Zelle and many retailers are going cashless.

As morekaos said.. I think crypto's main utilization was for nefarious transactions.

All those data encryption hacks were paid out in Bitcoin for a reason.
 
As I have said before…regulation takes away the reason crypto is successful…lack of regulation, taxation and controls is why people use it and create liquidity. You can’t have an active crypto market if you try to regulate it….it’s a paradox with no solution.🤷🏽‍♂️😆😆😆
 
…and the hits just keep on coming…

I have seen one bona fide use case - the protesting Canadian Truckers who had their bank accounts frozen by the Canadian govt. In the US however as a normal guy who doesn't plan on engaging in any type of behavior that would get my bank account frozen I'm at a loss to define the transactional value beyond speculation/cap gains.
