Cryptos, Freds and CME's Now, yes, in addition to conversations already made about windows it's nice for the word "private" to actually mean something. Also, in this time of pre next mega CME event. It's going be a little while to process this... but I think there is a solution to transfer the information to a post CME event and the electronic reset that imposes. Also remembering 2008 was predicted by Brooksley. Important to be aware of 3 card monte aspect of things where ones attention is manipulated to making rash decisions, while inflation button is continually depressed forcing said decision making processes, -g- -ng- If in doubt I buy some shiny stuff, and that makes me feel better for some reason. It's like taking financial worry medicine. "Buy another two ounces and call me in the morning" type of thing. Even if the "pills" actually do nothing, the placebo effect is probably worth the investment.

:0) are we cryptomaniacs? gold bugs silver worms platinum roaches palladiam scum ? anything bloomberg.com Steve Cohen Throws Himself Into Crypto After Early Doubts Annie Massa 15 September 2021, 13:43 GMT+8 Hedge fund billionaire Steve Cohen was until recently a bit of a skeptic when it came to cryptocurrencies. Then his son -- a “cryptomaniac” -- helped change his mind. “He really convinced me this was something I needed to do,” Cohen, the founder of Point72 Asset Management and owner of the New York Mets, said Tuesday at the Skybridge Alternatives Conference, according to a person with knowledge of his remarks. That was part of a journey that included meeting with as many people over the past six months as he could to educate himself about the possibilities. “Once I decided there were opportunities, and I thought this could be a space like the internet -- it could be incredibly transformational -- I wasn’t going to miss this,” Cohen said in a discussion titled “Generating Alpha in Markets and Baseball” and moderated by Skybridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci. Cohen, 65, who has a net worth of $11.1 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, has since thrown himself into the world of crypto in both a personal capacity and at his firm. This week, he announced he was investing in Radkl, a quantitative trading firm for digital assets. That was after Recur, a technology company that develops experiences allowing fans to buy and sell non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, said Cohen’s family office invested in its $50 million Series A funding round. Cohen, meanwhile, told Scaramucci that Point72 is building crypto-trading capabilities at the firm. ‘Far-Out Ideas’His interest in the virtual realm extends beyond crypto: Cohen expressed a fascination with the metaverse, or a vision of a virtual world where people interact through avatars. “There’s some far-out ideas out there, about how people are going to spend their time,” he said. “Your mind can run wild,” he added, about how people will interact in the metaverse, potentially buying virtual real estate and virtual outfits for their avatars. Cohen, a Mets fan since childhood who bought the team in December for about $2.5 billion, also addressed the club’s performance and why he loves owning it. “It’s taken me into a different realm,” Cohen said. “Owning a hedge fund, you have some notoriety, but it’s nothing like owning a sports team in New York.” It has been a rocky year for the Mets, who squandered their lead in the National League East by losing 19 of 28 games in August.

Last month, Acting General Manager Zack Scott was arrested on a drunken driving charge after leaving a charity fundraiser at Cohen’s house. He was placed on administrative leave after pleading not guilty. The billionaire weighed in on the world of social media, where he has been more vocal since acquiring the Mets, saying it has helped people to see him as a human being, and not just a wealthy hedge fund owner. “Twitter is a tough place to be,” Cohen said. “But it’s a great way to interact with the fans and have your own voice.” See also: Steve Cohen Shuts Down Twitter Account After Receiving Threats — With assistance by Joanna Ossinger (Adds background on investments in sixth paragraph.)
