Yep. If you're gonna mine Bitcoin, at least do it with 100% renewable energy.

What's the over/under on how many years he'll be sentenced to?

I'm guessing 25 years.

Nailed it!

Or 12.5 years.

While there is no parole in federal cases, inmates can still shave time off their sentences for good behavior. Bankman-Fried could end up serving “as little as 12.5 years, if he gets all of the jailhouse credit available to him,” Mitchell Epner, a former federal prosecutor, told CNN.

2 years for stealing billions? I'd easily do that time.

Man Sues Town for $647 Million Over Trashed Bitcoin Hard Drive

'A man from the UK named James Howells is suing his local council to try to recover a hard drive containing 8,000 BTC, currently valued around $647 million. And that’s precisely how much he’s suing them for—since he’s blaming them for his not having it.

Back in 2013, Howells’ then-partner mistakenly tossed out the hard drive along with a bunch of other garbage. At the time, Bitcoin was already worth a little bit less than £1 million—and the value of those coins has risen quite a bit in the years since.

At some point, we are going to see a 95-year old Indiana Jones combing through landfills in search of missing bitcoin wallets on old hard drives.

apparently he doesn't know that Bitcoin isn't a real coin....

No, but I still kick myself that I didn't go into farming with my friend when it first got started. He had the tech savy and I could have at the time gotten what he needed. It would have took very little investment for us to had gotten in early enough that the possibility to make quite a lot of money was there. Of course knowing us, we would have sold what we had gotten way too early and just be looking at what we could have had regardless.

Nice bump. Watching a new video about how MrBeast almost certainly made some insane returns pumping and dumping crypto and NFTs. He doxxed what is believed to be a primary account of his on Twitter several years ago and some blockchain "researchers" have been digging into transactions tied to the wallet.

Never would have thought a good friend of Logan Paul's would go down that route
