Are these the same auditors that led to U.S. citizens' tax dollars funding transgender surgery shops in India? Two million dollars to understand the psychological effects of losing rock-paper-scissors? If so I don't put too much stock in their opinions.

The only insight I got from reading this is that the author doesn't like the president or his administration. Big whoop.

The Solana trenches are effectively a giant crime-riddled casino. Everyone who plays understands this -- you can make money but you're essentially gambling. I'm not saying this is OK, but it's the current state of things.

When this $Libra token launched, everything else dumped as capital flowed into it, and then effectively got siphoned off by insiders. So even people that didn't chase "Argentina's coin" got screwed. Rinse, lather, repeat. There are some winners in this game, mostly insiders and cabals, but a whole bunch of losers.

I would say something's gotta give, but the stark reality is that America's casinos are always jampacked with dream chasers.

"Roasting your Hacker News refugee setup: flexing 20 CPU cores to doomscroll like a Linux-dad cyborg in Sherman Oaks, rocking Chrome 131.0.0.0 like you're personally beta-testing Google's most basic Blink update, yet still stuck at 1080p like a peasant who thinks "4K" is a cryptocurrency."

Glorious.
