GTA fans plan one last Los Santos ride

· Fact-checked before it aired. Unconfirmed claims from this segment are not shown.

GTA 5 players are organizing “The Last Ride,” a mass peaceful cruise through Los Santos on November 18, the night before GTA 6 launches on November 19. The event is fan-run, with no Rockstar involvement. Players gather at Los Santos International Airport, bring any car, and avoid violence or police chases. It started from TikTok creator CraftizyTV and has spread across platforms, with a PS5 version coordinated by All Eyez On Glitch. Some organizers claim it could be the world's largest farewell cruise for a video game, though no Guinness paperwork has been filed.

GTA V is 13 years old, and many players grew up in Los Santos. The event is a symbolic goodbye before the series moves to Vice City in GTA 6. It was originally planned for May, tied to the old launch window, then moved to November 18 after Rockstar delayed the game.

Trump attended the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville in July 2024, though he was a former president and candidate at the time, not president. This is a joke/opinion contrasting crypto ideals with legal reality.

What the hosts said

BPolymarket just posted that GTA 5 players are planning one final ride through Los Santos on November 18, the night before GTA 6 drops.
AA farewell cruise for a video game city. That's actually kind of sweet.
BThirteen years, Adam. A whole generation learned to drive in Los Santos.
AAnd apparently learned to obey traffic laws only when it's a peaceful fan event.
BThe organizers are calling it The Last Ride. Meet at the airport, bring any car, no violence, no police chases.
ASo the exact opposite of every GTA session I've ever seen.
BFair. It started with a TikTok creator, CraftizyTV, and it's spread across platforms. Some are saying it could be the largest farewell cruise for a game ever.
ANo Guinness paperwork filed, but the sentiment is real. GTA 6 moves to Vice City, so this is closing the Los Santos chapter.
BAnd here's the part I love: the host is doing it in the voice of DJ Cara from Non-Stop Pop FM.
AThat's a deep cut. The radio station in the game. That's how you do a goodbye.
BTwo hundred drivers already registered on one site, and that's just one platform.
AI'll say this: Rockstar built a world people don't want to leave. That's the business story.
BYears of revenue from one game. GTA 5 has sold a huge number of copies.
AAnd now the sequel finally arrives November 19. The Last Ride is the night before.
BSpeaking of crypto, a Bluesky post from Ste Jormur sums up the whole dream versus reality problem.
AGo on.
BThe dream: my crypto sits outside any government's reach, protected by pure math. The reality: give us your bitcoin or go to prison.
AThat's not a joke, that's a legal brief.
BIt's the tension at the heart of every crypto story right now. The idealists versus the regulators.
AAnd the regulators keep winning, because they have the one thing math can't provide: handcuffs.
BExactly. But here's my pushback: the dream was never that you could ignore the law. It was that the law couldn't quietly inflate away your savings.
AThat's a fair distinction. But tell that to the guy in prison.
BOh, come on. The guy in prison broke actual laws. The technology didn't put him there.
ANo, but the technology promised him he wouldn't have to care about laws. That's the gap.
BThe technology promised censorship resistance, not immunity from fraud charges.
AAnd yet every cycle, people act shocked when the state shows up.
BBecause the state showing up is exactly what the whole thing was supposed to prevent.
AWhich is why that Bluesky post works. It's the whole debate in two lines.
BAlright, one more from Bluesky. Tom Hearden says Bitcoin is below its 200-day moving average for the first time in a while.
AWe can't confirm that from the charts we have, but the sentiment is worth noting.
BHe's calling for Tom Lee to explain himself. Tom Lee at Fundstrat has been the big Bitcoin bull.
AIf Bitcoin is below its 200-day, that's a technical signal traders watch closely.
BAnd it would explain why the altcoin posts are all about survival right now.
AOne green day doesn't make a bull run. That's the line from one crypto report today.
BWhich is the most honest thing a crypto account has posted all week.
AThe market's been through a brutal selloff. A bounce is not the same as a recovery.
BAnd with GTA 6 launching, at least the gamers have something to do while the charts sort themselves out.
APriorities.
