the only hint I can give you towards a precise timeline is it was about a year after reports started coming out that RBC and CIBC would straight up close your account if they got wind you were doing crypto poo poo, and confiscate your money - this was pretty early on in the whole btc thing

I don't know if closing your account still occurs but I still make bitcoin jokes when I go in for those "financial checkups" they have me come in for to attempt to sell me finance products and the cringe on Mary's face is absolute gold every single time

Someone spent $$ in the hopes they could convince you that you are wrong. When you do massive amounts of research and are about as knowledgeable as anyone on the planet about the subject matter. But because they are so focused on making $$ at any cost, they are right. It's really sad.

That $10 they wasted could have been used to buy more BTC. Talk about a self own.

What blows my mind with these weirdos is not so much that they want to say "I'm right, you're wrong." That would be stupid but it is understandable. Instead there is this strange but seemingly universal narrative of, "if only you hadn't talked poo poo, perhaps you too could have become rich... but you missed your chance, and now you are upset..." It's like they have to mock up this diorama of theoretical emotional reactions of internet strangers to get off.

Or the simpler assumption: he thinks it's managed and doesn't notice that he's manic as hell because you don't register a problem when you feel loving awesome!!!!!

I mean it's certainly common enough to have both but I don't feel like anything so far has been out of line with what would be associated with a manic episode. (Admittedly I am not an expert on psychological or psychiatric disorders.)

It's almost impossible to tell when you are having a manic episode unless you have a trusted friend who can call you out. Coping with bipolar DEMANDS a ton of self reflection if one is to survive.

You know what Stefan, you're absolutely right, I've been a real twat for a long time here, and I'm sorry. So have many of you of course, but in most cases I started it, and besides, two wrongs don't make a right. From here on out, I'm going to do my best to not punch down at people who (ostensibly) may have less than me, whether it's intelligence, money, whatever. It doesn't matter, it's a shithead thing to do, a sure sign of a petty bitter man, and for someone who has so much to be thankful for, there is no excuse. It's no wonder so many of you think I have some sort of miserable life when I've been behaving this way for so long.

The truth is I lead a full and happy life, and I need to examine why this particular place on the internet so often brings out the worst in me. I want so badly to follow Literally a Bird's example and let it bring out the best in me.

For those who celebrate it, I hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving! Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day!

"You guys are saying I have a mood disorder and you know what I've been a dick, so have you of course, but anyway I'm not going to punch down on you stupid poors. It would be beneath me to act in such a manner toward those so much less fortunate than I.

I put the words 'ostensibly' and 'may' there for a reason. Perception is not always the same as reality. I am obviously not so great, just based on the way I behave here alone. I have a long way to go, and a lot of work to do on myself. I think part of the reason I keep posting here is because I want to prove to myself that I can behave anonymously online the same way I behave IRL. The divide between who I am and how I come across here bothers me. The constant antagonism from both sides isn't helping anything, btw. I think that's why I can post for months or years on alt accounts without issue here, but the minute I'm revealed to be Seraph everything goes to poo poo. My real philosophy in life is something close to:

“The plain fact is that the planet does not need more successful people. But it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of every kind. It needs people who live well in their places. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and humane. And these qualities have little to do with success as we have defined it.”
― David W. Orr, Ecological Literacy: Educating Our Children for a Sustainable World

and

“Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies-"God drat it, you've got to be kind.”
― Kurt Vonnegut

Yet here, I came across like a totally self-absorbed, petty pompous rear end in a top hat much of the time. I will not be satisfied until that behavior comes to a close. You can help, if you want, by not being so antagonistic.

Tried that, even used a VPN, new email, etc. I had no problems for awhile, and generally got along fine. Eventually, the admins figured out it was me, probably based on posting style / backend user metrics / etc.

I would love to leave the Seraph persona behind and just be part of this community anonymously, but it seems my only viable option is to appeal to the admin team's sense of justice and/or reason.

In general any narrative that goes 'They actually know we're right and they're wrong, and that makes them so mad' is laffo and a sign of someone who's on track to a helluva implosion
