in other news bitcoin is not like the internet has bitcoin twitter pissing and moaning in the correct manner

biglambda went into full meltdown on /r/buttcoin and tried calling me a pedo until i reported him and it suddenly got edited

in the meantime someone posted lambda's plans that maybe he could run scams on ethereum

it's good to know lam gave up his plans of being an ethereum scammer because he would be as loving incompetent at it as he is at posting was far too highly principled

oh thank god the bitcoin thread is back, i was getting worried i wouldn't be able to share a fun fact i've learned:

remember this (fairly :nws:) site, featuring some cosplayer advertising her sex services in exchange for bitcoin, and a bunch of angry hilarious bitcoiner comments, including some hinting that they were trying to scam her?

my friend, who likes her a lot and follows her on twitter (said friend is an intractable weeaboo) mentioned that that entire site is fake and the girl has publicly denounced it - it's run by scammers in California using pictures lifted from her gallery

for anyone who doesn't know, he wandered in to a lowtax thread to post about how buttmad he was that those awful feminazi SJW cucks were allowed to have a queer safe space thread in the computers forum!!! and how unfair it is that he's not allowed to troll them as he's entitled to, and then went off on a weird tangent about how nobody liked his fitness threads or something. lowtax just made fun of him, so later he went into the queer thread and made one incredibly :effort: post that i think was an attempt at trolling and either gave up or was probed, i didn't check

i'm sure he can tell us all why this was totally justified though, please go ahead and enlighten us :allears:

today's hell that i literally asked for: currently reviewing this masterpiece of the bitcoiner's art. It's by a proper economics prof!! ... who's an Austrian, a Bitcoin Maximalist and a bitcoin carnivore.

Seven chapters explaining why Austrian economics is correct and why "sound money" is a meaningful term and not just Austrian cultist jargon, two explaining why bitcoin fits his requirements and one of answers to why bitcoin isn't just used by criminals and why the incredibly stupid wastefulness of proof-of-work mining is good actually. Introduction is by NN Taleb, because birds of a feather.

The footnotes are sparse but revelatory - a cite that the word “salary” derives from the Latin sal, for salt, is not to any mainstream linguistic reference, but to “Whither Gold?” by Austrian economist Antal Fekete, a 1996 essay on why “delay in putting the cancer-fighting gold corpuscles back into the monetary bloodstream may bring about a credit collapse and chaotic conditions in the world economy, eclipsing the memory of the Great Depression.”

oh, and the history of money is cited not to any such tawdry sources as historians or economists, but to Nick Szabo.

i haven't ploughed through the text itself yet. i'm expecting it to be high on narrative and to eschew such frippery as empirical results or facts.

oh, that essay "Whither Gold?" was a prize winner in a competition by the Foundation for the Advancement of Monetary Education, a gold advocacy thinktank who stress their sensible non-conspiracist views:

quote:

We do not believe in conspiracy theories, but there are people that do not want you to have or share this information. They are making huge sums of money, and they want to protect and continue with a system that enriches themselves at our expense.

The Federal Reserve for instance has a virtually unlimited budget, and thousands of “experts” and pundits on payroll providing op-eds to newspapers, interviews on talk-shows and news programs – even comic books for children.
