It's in the bottom right.
I don't consider a tiny piece of text in the corner of an image to be proper attribution.
What would you consider proper attribution?
A name and a link to the source in the OP.
Got it. Thanks
It's more than most get with people always removing attribution.
Is that supposed to make it better?
It has their name and where it came from so. Yes? Are you expecting people to direct link everything even when it is already atributed? Sure. That's nice, but I don't see it as necessary.
We are lucky it wasn't reposted from somewhere with the attribution removed and the souce is not known.
It has their name and where it came from so. Yes?
That's not what I asked.
Are you expecting people to direct link everything even when it is already atributed?
I mean is that really too much to expect of people? To simply copy the link where they found the information and post it along with where they shared it?
All the crypto dipshits think Trump is pro crypto when its just another scam for him to exploit and move on to other shit
He's pro "Do the thing that gets me money." He has zero idea how crypto works. He has no idea how a friggin' electric car works.
They tapped out people in fixed incomes donating $50 at a time to his "legal defense" slush fund, and this is the next level of letting his broligarch funders use him as a what he is, a brand name, to fleece the undereducated and zealots.
Everything's computer
oh hey, a clear list of targets for some Mario brother!
Literally my only financial regret is not shorting his bullshit meme coin when it first surged, because I couldn’t figure out how to get everything in place fast enough.
You can borrow crypto these days?
Like I said, I couldn’t figure it out. I’m sure there are some less than reputable sites where it’s as risky to do a short as it is to put your money in the platform lol
Now that I think about it I probably could have found some sort of gambling site that did the equivalent. “Pays out X if Trump’s griftcoin dips below Y by [date].”
Its easy but risky
Liqudates your assets (on kraken) if the leverage crosses a threshold
Just use the (free) kraken pro site
Long short etc
Read their docs
Looks like the big crypto exchanges allow you to borrow/short sell.
There are crypto companies that are publicly traded as well as crypto ETFs. You could short sell those.
Personally,I wouldn’t risk it with how crazy crypto is. It’s seems way too easy to manipulate.
Kraken
Exchanges typically do this. Ironically its also harmful to the libertarian side if the movement. Keeps the coins use as speculation rather than currency, centralized since you are using a broker, and bonus is that it defeats anonymity as most brokers need to follow kyc laws.
Tho the real harm is the free market itself. No one cares about moving to it and the rampant scams deter mass adoption (even if people wanted). Neat microcosm of libertarian ideals.
Seems you could have done that when you wrote this comment based on this nights news.. bad luck mate
Blast!
This is scam poetry
I need to get myself some clever lawyers

If we can copy/paste an image, surely we can also do so for a source link.
It's from a Molly White doot. I don't see it on her website https://www.citationneeded.news/ but she's definitely been all over Trump's crypto.
Thanks !
One day, there will be someone cleaning their fridge only to find a perfectly preserved Costco Trump stake. The last of its kind. He cooks it and enjoys the lead infested flesh. Later he finds it was worth $35.50 has he found the right buyer.
I have no idea why I have to view some posts by visiting the original URL. Nice work, though

Feels like the social construct around money is going to gave to be replaced somehow. We already had people born into bank accounts holding thousands of lifetimes of works worth and it is just getting worse it seems.
