crypto readers, we love you. Hope today is an awesome wonderland of progress for everything good for y'all! So fine to style with y'all here on the glorious interstellar Publish0x! YEaaaah Baby!!

Changing the fabric of FT crypto coverage one click at a time, bless y'all! Now it's the weekend, Miller time ar ar ar!!

Let's do this, let's make it happen!! No wait reading music for Miami What do we get in the FT today??

We have secretly been waiting for this one, still gonna hurtz tho:TLDR: Someone had to beat on Sammy for dressing like that, they just HAD to. It's HORRIFYING, tho bog-standard techno peacocking, ar ar ar !!!! Failure to launch video-game addict look says meritocracy and I'm richer than you!!!

Sammy WAS a failure to launch!!! Or was he a pure criminal all along, his clothes part of the grift!! Trump used oversize loud clothes to disguise his fat, but also to grab attention & show power. John Fetterman rocked Carhardts and now a cheap suit in Congress, it's on brand. Boris tried but failed to deliver. Barney Frank ruled in bad clothes power dressing. Zuckerberg failed, he woulda looked better in a suit than his hoodie. The three rules: telling a good story is more important than looking good. Show that you actually care about the job when you are power dressing down. Finally, mean it at least a little.

story: The author mentions "the prole gap." That's the gap between a cheap suit lapel and a shirt collar, ar ar ar!! We hadn't heard that since the "Dress for Success" eighties!!!

It's funny, in the pics only the author shows the prole gap, Fetterman and Drumph are free from the prole gap!!!! This makes us want to fruit loop the author!!! That's when you rip off the little collar loop on the back of a shirt!! Made for preppies to hang the shirt at the gym!! It's not suitable for dress wear ah ha ha!! Doing them a favor, really. Full disclosure, we have never done that. Threatened to tho, until they quit wearing them!!!!

Once a distant workmate wore fake glasses (clear lenses) to try and look smarter. People teased him so hard he quit, poor thing!!!

Tradfi corruption funnies!!! 200MM in orders for pandemic gear went to a shakey company in the UK. Most of the gear was trash, but HSBC just froze almost 100MM that made it through to some Brit politician & her husband!! That's funny.

Here's one - sour grapes in boomtown!!!TLDR: Merica is ALL about the BOOMTOWN, baby!! Sometimes yer riding high, other years ya gotta move out north south east or west to work in a DIFFERENT boomtown. Huboi!!

It's funny, the FT can't get a negative crypto quote outta the whole of the Bahamas!! Here the FT finds ONE BITTER SCHMOO to whine. Enter Andrea!! Read closely - he USED be a director of Groot Hospitality!! Which is THE hottest hospitality group in all Miami, therefore very arguably the entire world. Groot runs ALL the clubs ya can't get into!! Some high end friend of our wife got us into the Fountainbleu one time, the scene were all the cool people stand around the pool, all well lit & decorated with flowers n cababnas - that's GROOT baby!! LIV!!! Swan!!!!

Andrea used to say "who the hell are these people?" Now, Andrea's working for a Marriott chain focusing on the three star (downscale) market. And HE quotes they've completely disappeared, they are not coming back. Well, true, not to YOU ar ar ar!!!

Funny, who owns the rooftop lounge thinks cryptonauts ARE coming back. It's like the regular market - it goes up and down. They are not afraid.

story: Have some eff offs, FT and Andrea. Soon OKex & Huboi & everybody else will be an hour away from LIV. Justin Sun will take time out of his busy day to spend more on a party than anyone ever, mark our words. The party's over but Justin will bring it right back!! It's the same story with Art Basel, or lawyers, or whatever, we remember cheezy penthouses for fintech parties some years!! They ARE coming back, and stronger than ever, it's a boomtown cycle thing, ya wouldn't unnerstand it, FT.

NEXT- Remember when Sammy told the world how he was gonna automate FCMs outta a job? That was AWESOME now they are all laughing back!!! Futures Commission Merchants, human manual margin requirement brokers. Sammy was right, the abysmal crimes now in billion dollar lawsuits of the London Metals Exchange market prove this without a doubt, it IS only a matter of time. But NOT THIS TIME HA HA!! : FIA shows are a mixed bag, the one in Boca is just a boondoggle though we have gotten tech biz done there. The big one in Chicago now has covered up FTX billboards, ok THAT's funny!! We learned a horrid Brit word - billboards are called "hoardings" icky.

It's a laugh to hear the not obsoleted FCMs shout against any disruptors in the future!!!

CBOE, CME, Intercontinental and Nasdaq all beat estimates, but stock px is down.

Also funny, the SEC is trying to revamp rules so exchanges can better compete against Citadel and Virtu. Not in the FT, that reads the SEC is discriminating against low latency high speed arbitrage. We can argue either side of that one, lol!! But we will take Citadel's cause they spend more on tech!!! No, wait, make it fair.

But the fact that the SEC is trying to help exchanges means exchanges are hurting.

We used to sell cross-connect co-location to exchanges for a fat juicy premium, BECAUSE IT WAS THERE!!! ar ar ar!! Now they are making some cables extra long to be slow on purpose?

LIke a dirty flood in New Orleans, Sammy leaves a high-water mark of madness, he was not ONLY gonna buy Goldman, he was spitting in the face of the FIA!! And THEY always had a good holiday party!! Which everyone will use this year to laugh at Sammy. About all the punishment he will get? Don't know Delaware state law, in Tennessee misappropriation of funds over 250,000 is a Class A Felony, 15-60 years. We bet Sammy pulls a Corzine it's )#@(@*#@)$##$()&!!!!

NEXT!! OK, back to yer tricks, FT. Look at this teaser:

Hey it's good ol Mack the Knife!! What, Mack is downbeat on crypto?? awww...Mackers what what??

: book tour for Mack the Knife. Morgan Stanley was total bull$#(@$(*) for tech, full on HOSTILE to outside vendors. You could not even get a #$@(U$# internet connection to demo to traders there. Though MS hilariously did once cough up some full high end consulting rates for our arse!!! Only for total throughput software latency testing to prove that their home grown market data system was faster than Reuters!! Ah ha ha!! We had to agree, the way they set it up and measured it, that WAS true.

Here we see the FT draw eyes to a boring story by giving it an exciting crypto teaser. Mack is not DOWNBEAT on crypto. Only the FT says he is even NOT upbeat about it!!! Mack says HE MADE MONEY ON CRYPTO. But he doesn't understand it. Is THAT NEGGY ?? NOO!!!!! #$(#@#*) jerks have two FU's!! One for "downbeat" and one for "less upbeat." Quit LYING!! We wanna CORRECTION!!!! ar ar ar

Ohh, this is a good letter: TLDR: we once set foot in the bedroom from Octopussy at the Lake Palace!! Sammy was Bond, James Bond no no no stop.
