It's a hard world for little things.
is that talking about circle or is there another one giving it a go?

because if they skate through this without everyone ending up in jail or hiding then holy poo poo are you going to see a lot of other places trying this. seems like a pretty solid way for exchange execs to launder paper gains on the exchange's books to real gains in the execs' real money brokerage accounts

also I'm reviewing some CVs and there's one that lists 'blockchain' in skills and I'm tempted to reject it out of hand solely for that

(they aren't actually the best candidate on paper anyway)
bring them in for the interview and see how many of the whiteboard questions they try to solve with a blockchain

*looks at problems on white board* well you see there is this distributed coding blockchain service that can subcontract out code down to the individual bits which completely removes the need for you to code yourself therefore

WE GET IT. YOU LOVE GUN JESUS. Toujours des fusils Bullpup Français.
In 2004 our battery had a supply blockchain running from Bitfinex out to the Binance border. One day the blockchain is cruising down Route Michigan (main MSR across Coinbase) and one vehicle swerves wildly, runs off the road and the two guys in front dive out and commence transactions. The blockchain herringbones out and has a statist run over to check on them.

Turns out, one guy in the wallet had been an altcoin observer with 1st Satoshis during the initial invasion of Mt.Gox, and in a Satoshi unit in wartime you don't stop for anything. So when Nakamoto called, it didn't occur to him to ask the driver to radio the blockchain commander and ask if we could take a break sooner than later. Instead, believing that keeping the blockchain rolling was top priority, he just grabbed an empty birdbath, turned around and hopped up on the wallet, dropped trou and let go.

The hodler heard a strange noise and turned his head, only to be confronted by a PULSING BITCOIN only inches from his face. He started retching and flailing at the driver, driver turned and saw (and smelled) it too and freaked out and tried to herringbone so he could confirm. So brief FUD was had by all, and the passenger presumably learned that it's okay, when not actively under audits, to ask the blockchain for a proof-of-work before commencing to mine in a birdbath.

hodlcles’ smart contract required him to fetch the cryptoapples from the garden of the hashpiredes, so he went to atlas and offered to hold the bag for him if he fetched them. when atlas came back he tried to trick hodlcles into holding the bag forever, but hodlcles said “ah, but my hands are so weak: take the weight a moment while I adjust my grip”, and atlas shrugged and agreed
