A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

If it's any comfort, he's merely planning to take all of the crypto the government has confiscated and merely put it all into one account and do nothing with it.

It's like taking all the small change from the various couches of your house and putting it all into one water jug and forgetting that it's in the corner.

So basically useless, like the half (that isn't destructive) of stuff he does.

the piece that makes me nervous is the selling off of government owned properties. its one of the most valuable and stable assets the government owns and hes attempting to sell it off.. some of it we would then have to lease from private owners.

Isn't that a classic corporate raid technique? Sell the company's assets to you or an organization you control, then lease them back to the original owners.
