Rami's going to have to reshoot a lot of his Freddie Mercury movie now that it's no longer directed by Bryan Singer, which I bet makes any filming this winter challenging.

Heck yeah! Been looking for a new hat, although it didn’t show up on the ecoin site for 2-3 minutes after I got the tweet and email.

I'm so upset that I missed the hat because I had to reset my password. Don't be like me kids, set your password to something very simple so that you can hop on the free poo poo immediately.

It's the Queen movie. The Freddie Mercury movie we all want is probably never going to get made because the rest of Queen wants the attention as well.

Here's my dumb theory for how this all shakes out. White Rose is actually Mr Robot's version of Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin. In the real world, no one actually knows who Satoshi Nakamoto actually is, and the creator of Bitcoin is a mystery. Whoever this person is owns 5% of all bitcoins, which in today's current value is somewhere around 21 billion dollars. If this is White Rose, it explains her motivation to destabilize the global economy - so that people will switch to using cryptocurrencies. It also explains that while the rest of the world is adopting E-Coin, China refuses to and is still using only Bitcoin. The giant "particle accelerator" that White Rose owns is actually a bitcoin mining facility. This way, he is able to mine them faster than anyone else and once crypto replaces fiat currency, he will be the wealthiest and most powerful man in the world. It would also make sense that she wants to move this facility off of US soil now that crypto is on the rise, since the U.S. government would likely put an end to her operation if they ever found out what it was really being used for. The time travel/alternate reality is a ruse in order to get people to devote themselves so intensely to her cause, to the point that they will kill themselves or blow up 71 buildings because hey in the end we just hit the reset button right? White Rose is just telling people whatever they need to hear to join her army until she's so incredibly wealthy she no longer needs to perpetrate this myth.

Why would you spend tons of money on a giant not-particle-accelerator mining machine when you could just give yourself tons of coins to begin with? If you created the algorithm and set it all up and stuff you could just give yourself a poo poo ton of them before anybody else even had a chance to create miners. I do agree though, any kind of actual virtual reality or time travel would be too bonkers. Its just gonna be a cult that whiterose uses to control people. (Still not crazy about how fast Angela fell for it) people are dumb and whiterose just wants money and power. Also if whiterose created bitcoin and owns a ton of them why allow e-coin to be a thing? Wouldn't she move to shut that down to keep bitcoin going if so invested in bitcoin?

I'll be drat disappointed if everything actually does come down to "white rose is trolling everyone". I feel like Mr. Robot's continued existence is especially a point in favor of some kind of "reality hacking" going on because by now Mr. Robot is not Elliott or Elliott's Dad and the whole way they physically struggle to control the same body is not really explicable by regular old psychology either.

If you created the algorithm and set it all up and stuff you could just give yourself a poo poo ton of them before anybody else even had a chance to create miners. She did give herself a poo poo ton, 21 billion worth. Having the biggest miner would mean you get the most money from people using your currency as every transaction has a fee associated with it. The initial 5% is instant money, while the miner is guaranteed longevity on your wealth. Investing that much machinery into your own currency system also ensures that it's usable as an actual currency, helping transactions to clear quickly, unlike bitcoin in our own reality where transactions take hours or even days to confirm. I told you it was a dumb theory in the preface though. I just found it interesting that one of the plot points was that China is the only country to refuse E-Coin and stick with Bitcoin.

Of course its not Elliot or Elliot's Dad, its Tyler Durden. Its basically psychology but with hollywood drama breaking the rules to do what's cool and dramatic and not necessarily medically real. d0grent posted:I just found it interesting that one of the plot points was that China is the only country to refuse E-Coin and stick with Bitcoin. I do think you're on to something here. Its a good catch.

Even if whiterose has been manipulating Angela, I'd be extremely curious to see what it was that whiterose showed her that got her to cast away everything she thought she knew about how linear time works

The chord progression of the music there was the same as the first part of that Touch song by Daft Punk they used when Angela was riding with Mr. Robot at the end of that one episode. May have just been a coincidence but I definitely appreciated it
