vOv posted:the idea of receiving a letter from a government agency that says you can't tell anybody about it makes me kinda uncomfortable tbh You were surprised when you received a letter from the SEC. Why would you want to ruin that surprise for others? To be honest though, it makes total sense: blabbing that you got a letter from the SEC gives other crooks who might not have been served yet a chance to flee. Obviously the SEC is not going to want you doing that.

the idea that bitcoiners could derive lessons from any form of failure implies a level of critical thinking and introspection that are very obviously not present in the bitcoin or general libertarian communities. they will always have someone to blame, whether it's scammers, weak hands, or government conspiracies. you see, the libertarian dream can't fail, it can only be failed.

prefect posted:i thought the whole thing about cryptocurrency was that they're only backed by how many strawberries you dried out, not an actual physical commodity Look, you buy one URO for six dollars. And then, when all the chemical fertilizer companies realize URO exists, they will trade you one ton of urea for your coin, which then you can sell for around $300. It's a guaranteed investment opportunity. quote:
