"Lol seems very decentralized.😂 But I actually respect it when "crypto" scams focus on fooling regulators rather than on scamming retail investors. As long as politicians bureaucrats cops and judges believe "blockchain" woo and let centralized prediction markets live that's a net positive. The poly token was just a money grab though. After months of planning we're excited to announce 'The Polymarket' is coming to New York City. New York's first free grocery store. We signed the lease. And we donated $1 million to Food Bank For NYC an organization that changes how our city responds to hunger."

"BIP110 is not even mentioned in the diagram. It would sit somewhere between CSAM and spam FUDs (its proponents inconsistently oscillate between the two). But it's generally true that Epstein and quantum have nothing to do with BIP110. The diagram where BIP110 is not even considered let alone mentioned is about those. The joke is that: - people FUDing Bitcoin because "Epstein created or compromised it" and because "Quantum computers breaking it are imminent" both discuss alleged "Satoshi's coins"; - the former and people claiming spam will kill Bitcoin both tend to bring up "CSAM"-related"
