Top 10 Tweets of 2020 - Europe & World News

Yes, yes, I know: you are an excellent twatter, and we have omitted your only tweet from this list that has 50 likes on the lines of embezzlement. Likewise, this reporter is a negligent list builder who overlooks a controversial day your favorite retailer (formerly influencer) colorfully portrayed the anatomy of Brad Garlinghouse.

If it’s any consolation, know that I hate this hellish place as much as you do. The year was a terrible one for almost everyone, and while cryptocurrencies had a second bull market, everyone managed to come together, overcome adversity and still treat each other terribly. I looked up one of these tweets in hopes it was mid-fall and had a small aneurysm when I realized it was first published two weeks ago.

Enter crypto twitter, A place where some of the brightest live roleplaying participants are like two week old little animals where billionaires might tell you to fuck your mom, where you routinely ask yourself: “OMG why would anyone do SpongeBob porn?“has to go through an endless series of degradations. In the words of the Italian sculptor Alberto Giacometti, “Bridges are broken between things, between people; emptiness seeps everywhere, every creature secretes its own emptiness.” I check it every morning when I wake up.

This is not a list of the “best” tweets as there are no good tweets. It should also not be construed as an award, as the only award that can be won is saying, “I have deactivated my account.” Some are weird but you probably don’t believe it and run to make fun of me in direct messages. Please God make 2021 shorter than 2020.

Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year, monkeys.

Bullingers bands

John Bollinger He is a living legend in trade, a man whose contributions to the field are known even to weekend warriors who teach themselves technical analysis in their spare time. His 2001 book, Bollinger on Bollinger Bandsis a classic that has been translated into 11 languages. However, according to Twitter, it is a “simp”.

At the end of November, Bollinger predicted the possible formation of an upper limit for Bitcoin:

Ok time to watch $ BTCUSD. This is a classic top setup. No confirmation yet and setup could easily be overrun, but wise traders should wash their glasses. Http://t.co/RKgTJje5IU
– John Bollinger (@bbands) November 30, 2020

Okay, time to watch, $ BTCUSD. It’s a classic butt configuration. There’s no confirmation yet and setup could be easily beaten, but wise traders should clean their glasses.

In response, The crypto community on Twitter did their thing:

We’re going to shoot past your Bollinger bands so far that you may have to consider renaming them Bullinger bands
– RookieXBT (@RookieXBT) November 30, 2020

We’re going to get so far beyond your Bollinger bands that you may have to consider renaming them Bullinger bands.

Somehow the mischievous and deeply confusing wavered he dated Bollinger, who proclaimed himself “your favorite simp”.

I thought
Your favorite sim,
John
– John Bollinger (@bbands) November 30, 2020

I also thought.
Your favorite sim,
John.

For what it’s worth The Degenerate Army was right too: BTC navigated past their levels with ease, practically surpassing the Bullinger gangs.

Loose monkeys

I recommend you to follow CryptoMessiah: personable, a great trader and refreshingly open to the fact that at some point he will throw his bags at you. Their weekly uniswap gem hunt streams are a highlight for high stakes games. However, your greatest contribution could be a simple three word sentence:

APE TOGETHER STRONG
– 0x_Infinitum (@CryptoMessiah) July 26, 2020

Monkeys strong together.

“Monkeys strong together”, the crypto version of “send it”. Like the “Pump it, Loomdart” from the pasthas become the mantra of a new bull market, the battle cry of countless degenerate people standing on obvious carpets.

Even so, even geniuses can’t always get everything right:

APE STRONG TOGETHER
– Meltem Demirors (@Melt_Dem) August 8, 2020

Strong monkeys together.

Where do social tokens belong?

Of David Hoffman, Podcast host Bankless, a piece in two acts.

First act:

I coined 21M $ DAVID Token. The rarest personal token that ever existed. Https://t.co/oMF7m6Dg4M
There will NEVER be 21 million of them. Perfect scarcity. Worth a lot. Moon soon.
– DavidHoffman.eth (@TrustlessState) July 31, 2020

I minted $ 21 million DAVID tokens. The rarest personal mark there is. https://t.co/oMF7m6Dg4M
There will only be 21 million of them. Perfect scarcity. Great value for money. Soon to the moon.

Second act:

Here I send the entire supply to $ DAVID in the damn trash where personal brands belong: //t.co/5i78mwa5j2
– DavidHoffman.eth (@TrustlessState) July 31, 2020

Here I am sending the entire $ DAVID supply to THE DAMN TRASH, where the personal tokens belong

Personal tokens are bad and should die by 2020.

Institutions are coming

They were nibbling in early 2020, and now it seems almost everyone wants to take a big bite.

While MicroStrategy and Grayscale seemed to be in a race to find out who could make the most headlines with absurd purchases of Bitcoin. Other institutions like JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs also dipped their fingers in the waters of cryptocurrencies. According to statistical research it’s a trend that won’t accelerate until 2021, when big banks and reputable funds try to secure their cryptocurrency positions regardless of price.

Actually, is a trend that makes a commenter’s tweet seem predictive:

2016: the institutions are coming!
2017: the institutions are coming!
2018: the institutions are coming!
2019: the institutions are coming!
2020: The institutions are here!
2021: Damn it, the institutions bought everyone #Bitcoin

Point for Maisie

Elon Musk has done a number of trolling so far this year. Where 2019 was a minor flop, it staged its own coup by being sued by the SEC. In 2020, he managed to keep his nose clean and he enjoyed spending his energy tormenting Bitcoin believers.

One example was the prototype of the man’s answers for Maisie Williams, the young actress who became famous when she played Arya Stark game of Thrones. Williams posed a rather innocent question to the digital firmament:

should I bet on Bitcoin for a long time?
– Maisie Williams (@Maisie_Williams) November 16, 2020

Should I bet on Bitcoin for a long time?

This caused a little joke from Musk, pretending not to be nerdy enough to name Arya’s lineage that goes back three generations:

Throw a bitcoin to your witcher
– Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 16, 2020

Throw a bitcoin at your witcher.

However, Williams was the last to laugh at the end Putting the concept behind Musk’s joke counters him:

How does the blue origin work?
– Maisie Williams (@Maisie_Williams) November 16, 2020

How is Blue Origin doing?

Brian Armstrong contradicts himself

As Musk’s behavior shows, Everyone on Twitter, including the most powerful CEOs, occasionally seems to behave with overt disregard for their own careers. The CEO of CoinbaseBrian Armstrong is no exception.

After announcing a “No to Policies I Dislike” mandate, in a now deleted tweet, Armstrong, during normal business hours, no less, republished a wacky blog post full of lies by another CEO, including the bizarre claim that one of Joe Biden’s sons committed suicide to escape the political limelight.

Despite the colossal mismanagement that has led to an exodus of employees and public control, Armstrong is likely to get a big check on whether / when Coinbase will go public. And the man cannot even conduct a stable exchange!

Personally, my goal is to bring Armstrong’s energy into 2021: Do a crappy job at everything and still get a raise. A true icon.

I am rubber, you are a wounded person

One of the quirks that define the broader Ethereum myth is this one Vitalik Buterin’s father is an active and seemingly highly spiritual tweeter who brings the popular weightlifting wisdom and New Age philosophy to the trend line of the regular world.

One of his most adorable pieces is a totally uplifting piece that was created when a trader sent him some pointers. Trying to offend Buterin is a futile effort, since the man is a walking koan:

Remember: nothing can ever offend you but your own thoughts.
Also, people only ever say one of two things: 1) I love you 2) Please help me
Here is a great resource to improve your understanding of this: https: //t.co/Ou78cQxpa7 https://t.co/18YPNsHajt

Remember: nothing can offend you except your own thoughts.
Also, people only say one of two things: 1) I love you 2) Please help me
Here is a great resource to help you improve your understanding of this.

The man known fondly as “Dimi” could lead us all to nirvana next year:

Be the person Vitalik’s father thinks you can be.

Be the person Vitalik’s father believes you can be.

Illegal knots

Decentralized finance is a dangerous beast that often resembles a series of ponzi schemes stacked on top of one another. At best an emerging niche with high ambitions DeFi really appears to be the future of finance, and in the worst case scenario, it replicates the hollowed out foundations of the cynical financial cycle infrastructure it is trying to replace.

However, Legislators trying to craft regulations to keep the DeFi ecosystem stable seem determined to wash down the good, as Uniswap founder Hayden Adams noted:

Okay, thanks for admitting that you are banning decentralized blockchains like Ethereum.
I’m not sure how you can reconcile that with your statements that you don’t want to harm innovation.
– Hayden Adams (@haydenzadams) 3rd December 2020

Okay, thanks for admitting that you are really committed to banning decentralized blockchains like Ethereum.
I’m not sure how you can reconcile that with your statements that you don’t want to harm innovation.

I come across a regulation that does not “accidentally” prohibit running knots in the New Year.

Andre doesn’t owe you anything

Oh god, I just realized that I’m in charge of people reviewing notes, tracking down smart contracts, interacting with them through third-party tools, and sending dangerous money to them so that they can be “the first”, so that they can target whom always being able to fall is “second”, but they are noble and pure
– Andre Cronje (@andrecronjedev) October 13, 2020

Oh god, I just realized that it was my fault of people * reviewing notes * looking for smart contracts, interacting with them through third-party tools, sending dangerous money so they could be the “first” you can the “second.” “but they are noble and pure

Some people lost money on some of Andre’s projects because they were quick to invest in the contracts before they were announced. Some people lost money because of it You did more than necessary. Some lost money because of They treated Andre as a messianic figure and believed that he couldn’t go wrong.

In any case, Andre doesn’t owe you anything.
