Utopia Talk / Politics / White House UFC fight today

Rugian rank	Sun Jun 14 16:10:09 The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) announced on Friday that it will pay bonuses to fighters in a form of cryptocurrency issued by Trump family business World Liberty Financial at the heavily publicized White House mixed martial arts event on Sunday. The development connects the Trump family’s financial interests to the high-profile UFC competition being promoted on government property. The competition on the south White House lawn is scheduled for 14 June, Donald Trump’s birthday. The UFC said some fighters will receive bonuses in World Liberty Financial crypto called “stablecoins”, whose value is pegged to the US dollar. World Liberty named the currency “USD1”. World Liberty is a venture of the Trump family and the family of Steven Witkoff, Trump’s friend and special envoy to the Middle East. The company is now listed as an “official sponsor” of UFC Freedom 250, the fight scheduled for Sunday. The use of its stablecoin in the fight would appear to boost efforts to have it used more more broadly. World Liberty Financial, a Delaware-based cryptocurrency venture co-founded by Donald Trump and his sons in 2024 alongside the Witkoff sons , has emerged as one of the highest-profile businesses connected to the president’s family. At one point, Trump Sr was publicly listed by the company as its “Chief Crypto Advocate”. His financial disclosure form lists his holdings in World Liberty Financial as “over $50m ”. https://ww...hite-house-ufc-fighters-crypto
Rugian rank	Sun Jun 14 16:14:23 I'm just trying to imagine what would have happened if Obama threw a $60 million birthday bash for himself at the White House. That he also financially profited off of. That caused several days of massive traffic disruptions for DC denizens: https://ww...ite-house-heres-a-map/4114210/ Yeah. I hate all of this.
Rugian rank	Sun Jun 14 16:19:43 Oh and by the way. Polymarket and Kalshi are illegal gambling sites that should be banned the first moment after the current (financially compromised) PoTUS is no longer in office.
Habebe rank	Sun Jun 14 16:24:00 Agreed that gambling like that should be banned.
Habebe rank	Sun Jun 14 16:25:52 Gambling is a dirty vice, I stick to drugs and women. I got in trouble once when a manager brought up said it was inappropriate to say that statement. Mind you, she was talking avout wanting to go gamble at a casino. Women-100% legal. Drugs-Legal in Philly. I dont see why drugs and women is inappropriate, but gambling is ok.
williamthebastard rank	Sun Jun 14 16:36:39 Hmmm, I’m sensing a pattern here regarding you informing managers about your penchant for women and drugs and your hasty departure from your last workplace after receiving several warnings
