Unbelievanle idiocy.
Unbelievanle idiocy.
I saw it was up for sale. Complete fool of a man.
It’s marketing within his group….I’d like Plum’s view on this guy.
If this was 100 years ago we would be discussing Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch. I’ll take the banana.
This guy Justin Sun must be a Democratic Party voter. Evereybody in that gang suffer from inbecility.. LMAO
This kind of thing surely has to be money laundering.
Sure Pakie - but in the USA money laundering is not a crime and the FBI would n0t act on it even when the banks submitted reports on moneylaundering to them,
Doubt it Pakie…this guy is a kind of Elon Musk of the crypto world and this isn’t his first crazy auction purchase:
Sun placed the winning $4.6 million bid to have a private meal with Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett in June 2019,[29][30] before canceling it to widespread surprise.[31][32] The dinner with Buffett eventually occurred in early 2020. Sun met with Buffett, a critic of cryptocurrency, at the Happy Hollow Club in Omaha, Nebraska, on January 23, 2020.[33][34] Sun was joined by other cryptocurrency executives, including leaders of Litecoin, eToro, Huobi, and Binance Charity Foundation.[33][35] At the dinner, Sun gifted Buffett a phone with bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.[36] The money from the charity auction benefited the Glide Foundation, which Buffett's late wife Susan introduced to Buffett after volunteering there.[37]
In December 2021, Sun won an auction with a bid of $28 million to be the first paying passenger to fly on Blue Origin's New Shepard vehicle in July 2021, but he was not able to fly on the mission due to a scheduling conflict.[38][34]
In November 2024, Sun purchased a copy of Comedian, a piece of conceptual art by Maurizio Cattelan consisting of a banana duct-taped to a wall, for $5.2 million.[39]
You comiorm what I said he man is a Democrat liar and voter, he is almost a supid as most of he D P suporters on site are ad twistd as well.
If Van Goch had created that, everyone would have wanted one.
No SB
You are the idiot that supports B S on site- not me.
I happen to have duct tape and a banana at home. Maybe I should try my luck.
I fully support Sun's sense of humour in buying this "piece".
...but I would double down and buy one thousand art students each a roll of duct tape, and then have the original "artist" of this piece select a winner...who wins $1m for their creation.
...and then I would gift that piece to Maurizio.
...at which point I would hope Maurizio auctions it off, and the cycle starts again.
Why?
Because the above rather aptly describes what the 4 year crypto cycle is about.
The banana being hopes and dreams which are never permanent. The duct tape being block chain technology. The 1000 creations being the many blockchains and crypto tokens out there. The competition winner representing the few blockchains that make it. Maurizio being the market maker who bets on the valuable blockchains that lead the next four year cycle.
I laughed out loud at that Plum.., brilliant. To reinforce the point, the prior owner of the banana paid serious money for it, but made a bananza (sic).
Crypto people are a laugh a minute, Moz.
Richard Heart always cracks me up. The guys has zero ability to read any room, either that or he reads it perfectly...the jury is still out. Dresses like Liberace, acts like Axl Rose, but is so damn intelligent that he unintentionally gaslights people into thinking they're the crazy ones.
As an investor, what are your thoughts on Bitcoin at this point?
Mix just abandoned this thread.
Is that an AI image, VisKop?
No, I saw it on Facebook from someone in SA, looks like boerwors.
Hahaha definitely boerwors, now that’s South African humor at it’s best!
Becoming a fixture in many NZ supermarkets.
In the States as well…but selectively. The king of breakfasts, the boerwors mixed grill.
Pap en wors....................... with Mrs Balls chutney (hot).
So cool to hear that
It also took off nicely in the Uk with the Muslim population that can't eat pork sausage.
We'd often pop around some of the halal butcheries to pick up some wors for our Pom braais
I do not know nowadays - but hei used to be a family that moved from SA to ALos Angeles and whn they came to SA they used o buy curry powder - not sure whether it was mother-in-law hell fire brand - and Mrs Ball's chutney to take back. The moan alsoask if I know where tey can by a table cloth - since us people do not ea at a table and she could not find a table cloth in Los Angeles/
I can get Mrs Balls on Amazon.
Mozart
I wrote about the 1988-90 period and think it was before Amzon existed. I was n Londn in 2004 and went to a special SA shop where they sell typical SA products - but the prices were crazy stuff, I was around when that there were tens of thousands of teaches and other professionals in the UK. on short term contracts.
The teachers especially found high school kids impossil to control froma isciplinary perspective and most came back to SA. My niece went to Korea where she was teaching US army kids and she did not have that kind of problem.
I went to Edinbug for the test against Scotland and in the beer tent after the match theee wer a lot of Springbk supporters wearing Sringbok jerseys a lot of them were Aussies, Itcame out that people from Australia . New Zealand and SA supported all South ern Hemisphere teams playing against NH teams. Some sort of SH bond existed. Probably still does.
When the Bokke ain't involved my kind & generous nature dictates that I almost always support the underdog .
Mort...lol.
That looks like droëwors...
Can we get some actual art on this thread...
We can't leave it at Mrs Balls and whatever Mike typed above.
VisKop, I know a bit about Moz's taste.
Mine is pretty easy, Rembrandt and anything that takes a lot of skill to achieve.
...but what do you like?
And what about you, Blo?
I would ask you too, Mike...but I doubt you are able to post images.

Examples, Blo...examples!
