We also have fax machines.

We love our fax machines.

Like, could you send a fax to anybody at Misehole and say, hey, quick question.

Are you sending like wires today?

And Mizuho would like receive the fax, look at it kind of quizzically and say, in response to your fax earlier, yes, we are still sending wires because we are the second largest bank in Japan.

Do you have any other easy to answer questions for us?

You know, like financial reporting, drop the ball.

I'm just asking like individuals, let me as a host, simple questions about reality.

Maybe you should do that next time.

And like, to the extent that you understand, like, okay, like one, understand that the CEO is giving out gold on Bitcoin talk under his own name, where these are like obviously reportable statements, the statements and alleged facts about material reality, and maybe like chase down the truth value of that.

That's hard.

It's so much easier to just repeat what he says on Twitter and say, as said by this person on Twitter, and then quote the Bitcoin price feed.

But reporting is hard.

Be good at it.

Yeah, that is an ongoing interesting question.

I think short sellers provide an enormous service for the world in like being essentially society's best solution to financial fraud.

And yet they fail to detect lots of them.

And not just throwing short sellers or reporters or anybody else under the bus.

I failed to detect SBF's various craziness despite having sufficient information available to me as a well-read person on the internet to have detected that.

Where were the freaking wallets?
