FT Crypto Watch Feb 21

Cryptonauts we love you!! Thanks for every crypto click & follow here on the best in class Pub0x!! 

Today's crypto news from the tradfi leaders - not much.  In print, the FTX / Galois story  runs yet again!: with subliminals of being next to a scary tradfi story with a pic of  stressed traders !!  & WHAT is the "pull quote" - the enlarged quote in the story?? Three guesses!! Oh okay, it's just like the headline,  FTX FTX MARSHA RUSSIA FTX!!! TLDR: and right next to the lie about FTX being one of the most reputable crypto exchanges!!   FTX more reputable ah HA HA HA HA HA!!  We laughed about this yesterday, today it looks even funnier.  ADD to the list - what about Bitstamp??  E-toro!!  Bitbuy!! Coinspot!! Anybody but FTX ar ar ar arooo00000!!! LMFAO!!! 

One more story in print, the one about Hong Kong opening up!! TLDR: third time around for this story, but that's OK, it's a good one.  Funny, we think Hong Kong got chithammered down and will never return to their past days of glory.  Back when B-schools talked about Hong Konger's  capitalism creating the most valuable land per square inch in the world!!! On a small rock with no natural resources but free trade!!!  HK used to be one of our top four greatest cites in the world!! Then turned into another meh, if not actually depressing,  chinese city.  

Now, only BTC and ETH will be allowed for retail, which doesn't seem like much. But hey it's PROGRESS, & lord knows the Chinese still LOVE crypto - second greatest hash rate contributors in the world despite crypto being ILLEGAL !!! And they need a quasi legal way to serve that demand, so WTF!  &  competition between HK and Sing to sling crypto is a beautiful thing!! 

The REAL story:It's all about the crypto dog not ALLOWED to bark in the $#($&#!& FT!!  Here we see the HK SFC pushing forward to bring life back to HK & make it a world beating crypto hub!!  Hmm, what does that sound like. OH YA when first PM Liz and then PM Rishi said let's return the City in London back to the top of the heap as a CRYPTO hub!! 

Wouldn't this be an apropos time to mention THAT?  HK's SFC opening UP for crypto while the UK's FCA shuts it DOWN??? The IRONY!!!!

Instead the FT never once mentioned the crypto directives of Liz till she was GONE!! Believe us, we checked.  For Rishi, they mentioned it like ONCE.   But now the FT prints article after article about the twiddly dink plans for (lol) Big Bang 2.0 ( LMFAO) to kickstart the City ( ain't gonna work.)   And the FT NEVER mentions crypto the (*&$(*#$&#$(&!!!!! 

OK then, Japan's Noodle Gorillaz  ain't in this vid, but late breaking reading music : - the Gorillaz, erm OK Damon, wrote this song as a love song to Hong Kong going away / dying, freedoms lost to oppression.  For those who understand it will raise the hairs on your arms and bring tears to your eyes.  Hong Kong  was so freaking cool, it was like New York at it's best.  No-one cared about where you were from, just about where are you going to!! Hustle city, optimism and freedom.  & Neon, a whole lot of neon ar ar ar !! 

ANNNDDDD online, as part of the FT's cold, cold  shoulder ( dare we say oppressive anit-crypto regime) we get NADA online crypto news!! NOT a drop!! 

Kowloon we will always love ya!  Crypto people, we love y'all for bringing back some of that hope of freedom for the people!!

Gotta bounce, peace out, 

PS please refer a friend!! 

Lord, hear me now

Junk boats and English boys

Crashing out in super marts

Electric fences and guns

You swallow me

I'm a pill on your tongue

Here on the nineteenth floor

The neon lights make me numb

And late in a star's life

It begins to explode

And all the people in a dream

Wait for the machine

to Pick the shit up leave it clean

Kid hang over here-

What you learning in school?

Is the rise of an eastern sun

Gonna be good for everyone?

The radio station disappears

Music turned into thin air

The DJ was the last to leave

She had well conditioned hair

Was beautiful, but nothing really was there
