The human animal is a beautiful and terrible creature, capable of limitless compassion and unfathomable cruelty.
I don't believe he had any of those things

I mean, drugs are cool and all but after giving it some thought I'd like to be able to purchase things other than drugs at some point.

That's really all that is needed to be said about bitcoin.

bitcoin is hosed up and stupidly insecure to network pressure but it's still a commodity people are actually spending money on so you can make money off of it without being A Bitcoiner

e.g. the prisonplanet crowd really likes bitcoin, they tend to hoard it tho. there's a subset of nerd that thinks it's fantastic & should be the primary currency -- they're your primary mark. it is generally not so hard to get the wallets from the second group && sell to the first.

let's run a goon bitcoin scam

like where's the cool poo poo we do? 4chan hacks sites, we just have a bunch of pôsters bitching about Bitcoin without taking advantage of the situation

What's it like being such a square that some one lying about having a Jaguar and a Porsche while their girlfriend drives them to the bar in a PT Cruiser is a :wtc: moment for you?

In my controversial opinion it is worse that he was seen in a PT cruiser than that he owns a bitcoins

I'm not saying it isn't funny watching a nerd squirm and try to save face by telling a dumb lie like that but the average person does that all the time so I was expecting the bitcoin angle to add some extra crazy to it

but rly if bitcoin is so stupid and ppl involved in it are so awful why don't goons do more about it, like rip them off to show the insecurity and lack of recourse of the wallet system, or deploy enough nodes in the network to begin exerting control of the infrastructure for our own purposes or something?

just going "haha bitcoin lol" gets old after a while, let's do something cool.

Because all the Cool Goons went on to bigger and better things, leaving behind the dumb goons to run the show. If you want to mess with Bitcoin you'll have to get 4chan or Reddit to do it

I lived with a sporadically homeless guy who assured me that the appreciation on his bitcoin hoard he was acquiring through internet gambling was going to make him a millionare inside a year, and he'd take the rest of us along for the ride when it happened. He wound up homeless again bc he stayed home playing internet poker instead of doing any work for months and so never made rent, and when called on it tried to hold his imaginary riches over us and claim we were ingrates. I never posted about it bc it's just not a very interesting story, even though it's more interesting than yours OP.

Also he had lots of opinions about fema deathcamps which I still don't get, it's like worrying that the department of labor is plotting to sieze a percentage of your income at the end of the year
