From David Schwael:
It’s hilarious to hear so many crypto people tweet about bonds.

July 2021: We’re changing the world, and there’s no turning back.
January 2022: Still changing the world, but it could be delayed if 10y yields push to 2.00%
The comment thread quickly veers off into insanity, initiated by Joe Weisenthal (Tracy Alloway's co-host on the Odd Lots podcast)
Honestly, the comments reminded me of nothing so much as the Latin speakers in "Yesterday I Learned About ATMs":
It started with Paul Murphy at Alphaville's Markets Live:...
...Which of course lead to the question "Do the Vatican Bank ATM's really have instructions in Latin?"
(I had heard that from a less-than-reliable-source)
As it turns out, the answer is:
Yes, Latin is one of the language options.
In fact there's even a TIL thread at reddit.
Which managed to stay on topic for about four comments:
Pope: Why do I have to push "1" for Latin? It should only be Latin! If you're gonna come here, learn the language! Foreigners!And from there it just descended into madness.
"And then they ask 'Are you sure you want to withdraw $DCXLII?'"
"$642? The ATMs in the Vatican give out ones!?"
Smallest note in the EU is €5 Maybe it's €640 and two Hail Marys?
"Romanes eunt domus."
The line is "People called 'Romanes' they go the house." "Romanes" is not a Latin word; he pluralized a second declension word as if it were third declension, so it doesn't translate to anything.
"Eunt?? What is eunt???"
3rd person plural present active of the verb 'eo, ire', meaning to go.
Until Il Papa decided to show off by making a withdrawal:
There's more than one way to move money through the æther..
