I had one seller who began to meet me regularly, act like an ordinary John on until we got to the room, and then just educate me for the hour about bitcoin.

More details next year, but we expect that there will be payout to holders of reddit notes in the future in the form of TBD (but could be cash/bitcoin/etc)

Answers:

Are Notes equity in Reddit, or a portion of the raised funds? Not equity, something new and different that's never been done before. We're hopeful that it will have some to be determined relationship with a portion of raised funds.
Will there be an exchange that allows buying / selling of Notes into fiat currency? We expect there to be one.
How do you see the price / value of Notes being determined? Is it tied to the value of Reddit? TBD - but that's our goal.

You're right - also that's because Cato was a lil bitch and after a couple decades of being trolled by Caesar non-stop regarding things like JC sleeping with Cato's sister, receiving a love letter from said sister while in a Senate hearing, getting called out by Cato as being an agent of a conspiracy under investigation as evidenced by said love letter (provenance unknown to Cato at the time), and coolly letting Cato read - while on the Senate rostrum - about how his sister loved being hosed silly by Caesar, Cato was so drat ashamed that Caesar kept on winning that he shanked himself to death.

Yeah, he wouldn't have wanted to live with the shame of having been pardoned by Caesar after being such a longtime annoyance and erstwhile rival, but that simplifies how many times Cato tried and failed to knock Caesar down a peg, looking like a total shithead in the process. Cato is like the typical bitcoiner in attitude - wrapping himself in all the solemnity and gravitas of some fictional era of august freedom while constantly being laughed at by everyone outside his clique because everyone knows he's just some stubborn old fuckup who is addicted to huffing his own farts

these people are complete morons, and would have found a way to kill themselves via drugs regardless of acquisition method.

blaming drug dealers for irresponsible usage and addiction is some serious brainstem monkey logic. as long as you're shunting responsibility down the causal chain you may as well blame the governments who create the draconian laws that allow black markets to flourish, or the culture of fear, superstition, and propaganda that strangles any possibility of rational drug discussion or education, or a society that drills the quintessential values of profiteering and hedonism into its babies from day one (but drugs r bad mk!), or the evolutionary forces that shaped our fragile little chemical soup brains, or the hopeless economic conditions that make chemical escapes appear desirable, or God for starting this whole shitfest in the first place. they're all responsible too!

it's 2015. a few keystrokes can get you decades of research, trip reports, dosage information, ingestion methods, substance identification procedures - all the information you need to not die if you're determined to jam foreign compounds into your body. this isn't alchemy or magic, it's chemistry. anybody who's doing eyeball doses of an nbome (it's just cheap acid guys!) for the first time in a party situation without a sober trip sitter and zero research done deserves exactly what they get. it's darwin award decision making to be laughed at, not a catalyst for manufactured outrage and moral crusading.

ulbricht deserves what's coming, but he's not responsible for addicts and idiots who took advantage of his digital libertopia.
