Cryptocurrencies II: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)

“I don’t debate the poor on Twitter” is maybe the most Twitter thing I’ve ever heard in my life.

pharmabro saying "jail's not that bad" is such a "i committed white collar crime" thing to say

The most astonishing thing to me was trying to sell an asset that is always worth a dollar, because there is another asset always worth a dollar with a flawless record of always being worth a dollar. Its called the dollar.

As an accountant I love it when John says stuff like "I'm no accountant, I mean I should be" gets me every time

You are a special treat to the world. As a cancer patient, I save your videos for my worst chemo days, cuz they raise my spirits and give me roaring giggles and giggles are very healing. Thank you.

"He dressed like everyday was laundry day and brushed his hair with a balloon". I never laughed so much in my life.

I love that John can talk shit on HBO but they'll never drop him since he gets so many viewers

I'm sure it's been said 800 times in the comments, but 'Line Goes Up – The Problem With NFTs' by Dan Olson aka Folding Ideas is a must-watch with regards to how Crypto and NFTs are basically free real estate for scams and criminality to thrive.

"We did an episode on this 5 years ago, when I was 10 years younger." damn, I feel the same way.

"Pre-divorce but post-love" is elite comedy and trolling 😂

Reminds me of Peter Griffin going to the shady loan shark. "You see, we are different from other banks, in that other banks are banks"

My weird association with the word "fungible" is that I once used it in a uni essay on the rationale for mass political terror in the early Soviet Union. The sentence was something along the lines of, "From Yezhov to Abakumov to Beria, the personnel changed, but state terror remained - individuals were fungible, but the system was immutable and essential to the Soviet state." My tutor circled the word fungible and put a question mark next to it. I sometimes wonder whether he ever thinks about that in the era of NFTs.

“We’re all gonna make it” sung by someone who has already made it really turns my stomach. Enough is never enough for some people.

I use to think Mark Zuckerberg was odd until his sister started singing 😂😂😂😂

Jim Cramer is actually one of the greatest investment advisors ever. Whatever he suggests, I simply do the exact opposite, so his advice has been invaluable to informing me of what not to do.

All I've learned in life is: if you end up on Forbes, you're running a scam

22:46 "in a closed society where everyone is guilty the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves the only final sin is stupidity"- Hunter S. Thompson

I have definitely worked in an office where we would all sometimes ask each other “are we committing crimes?” And I can confirm it was a fever dream

I always love the “hey girl great top, quick question are we like doing crimes?” Lmao every time 😂

Coffeezilla has a good series of videos on these companies documenting what was going on before, during , and after they collapsed.
