just wait until everyone realizes btc is a ponzi and all that money goes into the real bitcoin.
Best interview I’ve seen in a long time 👏🏻 Thank you
KAIKEN SHIBA
Or maybe Sam is such a master mind, that he comes off as a doofy idiot to throw people off his scent.
I'm sure crypto whales had their hands in this in someway to drop the prices so they can buy. Just look at the onchain data and you can see that every time there's a big crash, the people that own the most Bitcoin are the ones buying the most during that time.
Strike is actually web2 and centralized.
Yes the dems are pure evil
Can tell he’s lying from his first sentence.
Mark is probably right. SBF was another useful idiot
Fantastic interview. I only wish you both had more time to go deeper into the discussions. Keep these high quality interviews coming!
The fraud was carried out through a regulated Central exchange. They are trying to make it seem as it was crypto. He took the crypto funds from the deposited crypto in his companies' vault. He has to be jailed now
Anyone still not convinced??😂😂😂😂
We demand our justice now. He isnt a phylantropist! God cast him out, please
This guy is amazing!
No to take down the fiat system and fast track the new global CBDC system which will be the platform for the “mark of convenience” or better known in sculpture as the mark of the beast which will enforce total control
SBF is protected by the Biden group, who he's funded. They should return the money without raising American taxes, again.
Did that dickhead just quote Elizabeth Holmes 🤦🏻
I enjoyed his input! Have him on more.
PLANDEMIC
I agree. The fact SBF is not in jail and free to mingle with the elite just shows. All planned. All scripted. And he’s the fallout boy for the to regulate defi. Just remember cefi is the bad guy here not defi!
SBF is being protected by the democrats because they took alot of donation money from him.
If you have contributed $40 million to the people in power you will not be punished.
great stuff
The whole gave money to Republican narritive is BS imo. I know three of them are the RINOs and the other 3 I'm not sure but since I'd never heard of them, I'm gonna assume the same.
The guy is a big time criminal who has been asked kid-glove, baby questions. So he can continue on his criminal ways! Amazing!
Great episode and discussion. Can't rate Mark highly enough and I believe he is on the right track. Conspiracy theories only remain as theories until they are proven to be fact. And clearly there is a great conspiracy going on here. Question is do they manage to bury it or will the full truth come out eventually. It has to be much bigger than those two "useful idiots".
Been trying to educate myself about bitcoin and the blockchains for a few years now. Many storytellers blowing sunshine up everyone's rump out there…. and now…. obviously scammers and possibly manipulation from the elites up to no good. ….But Mark seems to be one of the very few I've run across that really seems to be rational and honest. He has earned my attention.
He looks like a Jew
Come on people, he's deeply sorry soo,,, nothing to see here, let's just move along. Communism is juuda ism ✡. Wakey Wakey, the go… y im know.
Obviously it was sting op for creating need for regulation of cryptos… M-ark Yusko rocks, …
I watched the interview of Andrew Ross Sorkin. SBF is a SOCIOPATH. Any lawyer would advise him to keep quiet. He is talking to the world BECAUSE he thinks he can con the entire world. He came across like this nerdy scientist that never kissed a girl. Unfortunately the interviewer didn’t know enough about crypto to ask effective questions and don’t let him off. One more thing, he was born on Stanford Campus. Stanford faculty, staff, students, janitors included think they are above everybody else. Must give his parents credit. They raised an outstanding conman.
I like how he relates this to other events and something does smell fishy
Brilliant interview, more of this please.
Democrats should refund donation
Awesome ! More of this guy
Devils puppet he is
A very informed guest. Excellent.
As much as this kid is a mumbling idiot who obviously committed fraud, there should be mention of the greedy suckers who gave him money in the first place. Always remember, America was and is a criminal enterprise founded by thieves who stole land from its rightful owners. See a pattern? In the immortal words of P.T. Barnum: There's a sucker born every minute. Just another incarnation of how America truly works.
Setup to bring down crypto scene for coming up with cbdc ? Just asking
