I guess it was too much to hope Barron would manage to become a normal adult.

Nature & nurture, both conspiring against him.

Please tell me a Toot is the official name for a Mastodon post.

So it's correct to say Trump Tooted?

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 8 points 10 months ago

Sadly no. He Truthed, and the story was tooted by someone unrelated.

Unregulated and unhinged use of contractions is what.

At this point I don't have a shred of sympathy for anyone who loses money to this. One way or another they deserved it.

Nobody is losing money through this, it’s all going to be bought up by foreign influence campaigns as a way to funnel money.

Dimwitted Republicans losing money is hilarious. Unfortunately, their loss enriches Donald. We can only hope that E. Jean Carroll somehow claims all that.

I have $10 in a wager that Trump won't launch a coin before the election and I feel like every passing day that is an increasingly worse bet to have made

So...where can I short this?

[–] anton@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 10 months ago

For you to short something a institutional investor or market maker takes a long position on the same thing.

For some reason legit institutional investors never really show up in the crypto sphere and the smart market makers don't like to get high on their own supply (or are selling tokens they got at insider prices on the open market).
