If anyone here lives in a cave and missed this somehow: SEC twitter was hacked yesterday and tweeted a fake ETF approval tweet (edit: mentioned in the post I really should read before commenting but I'm sick so blargh).

This lead to a surprising amount of conspiratorial thinking including that:

  • An intern did it, despite the SEC saying they were compromised
  • They just oopsied and posted it a bit early, despite saying they were compromised
  • They did it themselves on purpose just to mess with bitcoiners or pump-and-dump or something
  • They did it themselves because twitter restored the account suspiciously fast.

With the actual approval everyone'll probably move on. But bitcoiners are doomed to chronic dissatisfaction so they'll probably find something new to hate the SEC for sooner or later.

I missed it and don't live in a cave, unless you count Australia, which I guess isn't not a cave

Evidence for cave:

  1. Southern hemisphere is beneath northern hemisphere.
  2. Spiders
  3. Controversies around mining
  4. Somewhat close to ant-artica, the ant kingdom.
  5. The 1973 Mount Gambier cave diving accident

Evidence against cave:

  1. Kangaroos
  2. Sunshine
  3. "The outback"
  4. New Zealand is nearby??
  5. Koalas

It could go either way honestly.

Australia, unlike Finland, exists, but is a cave.

It’s plato’s cave, we’re just living in it

(Probably a joke someone has tweeted already)
