   I think the tacit agreement here is to say as little as possible about Elno's latest action. Still, this feels like an insult to me personally, as I've built a modest Twitter following by pointing out the dangers of moral hazard and financial gambling by shadow banks and too-big-to-fail banks. Now the birdsite brand has been turned into a laughingstock to push one of the sillier cryptocurrencies. Even if nothing worse happens, at least people will lose money again in a meaningless pump & dump ?

     @stefanieschulte At least the pump seems to have been relatively limited (20-30%), as far as I can tell.

     @pettter I guess people have gotten a little smarter. Hopefully.

     @stefanieschulte It might be more that there is simply a lot less actual (retail) money floating around in crypto than there used to be, so much harder to gain appreciable moves from stunts like this.
