Wow, it's sorta like a politics/economics-focused version of Eripsa.

Was thinking the same thing. Guess we'll see if this brings him back out of the woodwork.

Let's not say things we can't take back.

Yeah yeah yeah, automated economy, whatever.

Here's the real question: when can shitposting be automated?

How do you think Dare constantly registers all those accounts?

Uh, no? IIRC he was basically a minor part of the blockchain community that his business partners were trying to create.

Yeah, he was involved tangentially with Synero for a while, which he now downplays because of how hilariously it's crashed and burned.

Before any other regulars chime in, I'd like to repeat something I proposed back in the Polytopolis thread: some of us have danced this dance with Eripsa more than once and it usually follows the same steps. As such, I suggest we refrain from debating for at least five pages or so and let people who haven't dealt with his ideas before have a crack at it, and see where things go. I hypothesize that we will see a similar thread progression, which will lend evidence that it's the substance* of what he posts that makes these threads turn out the way they do, not some cadre of jackals who intentionally misread/misunderstand him.

Also, sorry Yuli Ban but your thread is about to spin completely out of your control. If it's any consolation, you didn't really have much worth talking about to begin with.
