A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

  1. Create tokenized item with no actual value (Z = 0)
  2. get people to spend real money on random token.
  3. collect the money at a high arbitrary value (X)
  4. Collect the money at a lower, yet still arbitrary value (Y)
  5. Enjoy X+Y-Z profits

Trump never put his money in any of it. He created a random token out of thin air and people willing threw money at it.
