Bitcoin / Cryptocurrency Discussion (And Predictions)
HOT! CRYPTO CHATThese guys were just pumping and dumping stocks. I'd love to see them go after crypto scammers too but I don't even know if it's illegal to pump those if they're not considered securities. Speaking of pump and dump, I'd love to see them go after Chamath on all those SPACs he was involved with.- Bones81
