I think it'd be funny if she started turning his computers off whenever he was on campus/ at work (?).

Cool, I guess we're not in a recession either because plummeting home values are just paper losses and once they're back to what they were before it should cover the costs.


"But mom, I'm making coins!" "Can you buy food with these coin?" "No, not yet. The market needs to grow!"

He spends all day in his room looking at the bitcoin graphs, chanting "rally, rally, rally" while the gentle buzzing of his rig keeps him company.

That was probably back when he had one computer with one GPU. Based on his "guess who's regretting that decision now!," it seems pretty obvious he's conscious of the fact that he's taken advantage of her. Lolbertarians are real big on the idea of the free market involving mutually-beneficial agreements between willing parties, but they're also bizarrely gleeful when one side doesn't "do their homework" and gets tricked into an agreement that's not beneficial for them. Too bad, sucker! We can't all be John Galt!

No seriously, everyone I've known to support the "free market" really just wants to take advantage of people someone without the mean ole guvmint stepping on their "mutually-beneficial" contracts.

To be fair, may of us, myself included, spend days staring at the bitcoin graphs (and this thread) chanting "down, down down."

For the full goon experience, do this with only the gentle crunch of Cheetos to keep you company.

I'm still mining. When we first moved in together my roommate and I made an arrangement where she would pay the electric if I paid for the gas and cable bill....guess who's regretting that decision now!

With her paying the electric bill I'm pretty sure I'm solvent all the way down to around $3.00-2.85/BTC!

Jesus, Poe's law! I honestly can't tell if this is just one of you guys. Is this one of you guys? Please say yes, because the glee this guy expresses is just too much. This isn't even the usual FYGM :smugdog: stupid bullshit, this is just unabashed satisfaction at having unequivocally hosed somebody over.

You should ask him why he doesn't just go steal the money from their wallet and cut out the middle man.

Doing that would not produce anything of value, while stealing her electricity produces bitcoins. It's completely different!

I hope the roommate orders $100 worth of gay porn on VoD. Daily.
