It's actually later than that. They really didn't get going until the 18th century.

@JackNiewold seems to be feeling so confident, that he is perfectly fine posting massive misinformation about $LUNA. I'm not even a lunatic. This "Exposé" crap though is just such clickbait trash. It was clearly designed for engagement farming.

And here we are. $BEAN is rekt. Another terrible call that could have been avoided with a little research. It's not about research though with @JackNiewold. It's about endlessly pumping out "interesting content".

I'm not going to dunk on @JackNiewold for working hard, being enthusiastic, getting rekt, or being a threadoooor. There is plenty of that on CT.
I'm going to dunk on him because he's bad at analysis and he's basically the BuzzFeed of crypto

That's the problem though. @JackNiewold is being rewarded for posting absolutely terrible takes. Worse, he does so in a way that's pure clickbait, like every piece of trash internet article you see today.

500k Americans dead in the last five years (more than WWII, in the same time) and the majority of them linked to fent from Central and South America.
Designating them FTOs is the soft option right now. Formal war should be on the table.

It's already failing. You're in a housing crisis thanks to rent control and your answer is "more rent control".
NYC is already the capital of gun control, rent control, pro Palestine activism, and corrupt public unions.

There is no critical thinking here. No great insight or deconstruction of fundamentals. Only another fool who kissed @danielesesta fat fingers for #frognation engagement.

We're now back in 1975 when western leftists think moving to the Russian sphere of influence is "decolonization".

Even when @JackNiewold admits to being completely ignorant on a subject, he still threadoooors for engagement farming. It's just a strategy of quantity > quality. More times to possibly hit the algo. More engagement. More followers. More threadoooors.

My only wish is that you can lock it in.

After getting rekt on Dani-coins, @JackNiewold ran right to Andre. Did he ever discuss the risks that if Andre didn't want to do this anymore, that $SOLID would be rekt? No. There is no learning here. Just anons getting rekt.

These houses are functional, energy effecient, upgradable, and are great for raising families.
More city cope from childless studio dwellers.

Another utopian model that falls apart with open borders.
Just like healthcare, education, crime, and every other pipe dream on the left.
Stop importing poor people

How can someone be so confident about being so wrong? You'd think a real analyst or writer would step back and reassess their content.
Nope. @JackNiewold is gonna flex his girl and his wealth.

Because the entire Democratic party platform is based on cherry-picked "Europe is better" slop, and it's annoying.
The democrats are an urban party, so they're going to mimic the most urbanized area in the world.

All V3 liquidity managers are pumping $ICE (32x), $VISR (7x), $LIX (11x) $PILOT (3x). Seems like people are finally starting to take concentrated liquidity seriously. Want to hear something crazy? @VisorFinance hasn't even played its high card yet.

Don't forget about doing everything in their power to stop development. Including insane environmental laws, building permit hell, "planning" boards, and fees fees fees

And @JackNiewold has gotten good engagement. He turned a no-follower account into 81k subs and a budding brand. He even got the attention of some big CT accounts.

Operation Downfall

Christmas 1945 would have been one of the worst times in human history. Instead, the Japanese surrendered, and we got peace.
There is a lesson here somewhere.
