it's always great to get an internet crazy person

in the interview he went on for about 10000 years about why the war on drugs was bad actually

(which I didn't actually disagree with at all)

he wanted me to remove the book section on Ross because Ross was not convicted of soliciting murder, therefore he didn't do it

also i'm defaming ross

I asked if he'd go to bat the same way for Jimmy Savile, who wasn't convicted of raping children. apparently that's different tho

in other news the UK Financial Conduct Authority is doing a consultation on cryptos. Draft paper (PDF).

basically they're trying to fit a pretzel-shaped crypto into the square hole of existing laws.

I blogged about it because this is my curse now

if you're feeling like an erudite crypto skeptic anywhere in the world, you should probably respond, 'cos all the regulators talk to each other.

I would love to get an advance reader copy (ARC) in exchange for an honest review on Amazon.

World famous blockchain author Boxtuur de Meester swaggered forth from his famous great big bed made of money to check his crypto chain portfolio account wallet hardware. As he advanced, his dark eyes seemed to scorch the earth before him, radiating a fiery clarity that forecast his reputation for unblinking severity in all matters.

"Boxtuur!" shouted his elegant model big titty human female trophy wife quietly. "The blockchain's ICOed the crypto hacker! We have an intruder!"

It's nearly the millennium. The secret of the blood line of Satoshi has been guarded by nChain for nearly a millennium. A troubled fincel, ...!, has stumbled upon their trail. nChain will stop at nothing to keep their secret, but can the Ethereum Foundation stop them first?

It helps that the vast majority of Ars Technica commenters understand tech well enough to see that crypto/blockchains are completely pointless. And are ethical enough to be happy that Ross will be in prison forever. Always fun to see bitcoiners and Ross cultists get completely annihilated in the comments.

their Lightning Network article tried to be super-positive, and still came across as a list of reasons it was trash. The commenters went to town on it.

look at the filthy sellout, writing for the crypto press. this is for decrypt media: FreedomCoin: Just another word for nothing left to lose? From the people who didn't bring you KodakCoin

as well as taking calls about quadriga, the other half of what i've been doing this week has been repeated edits on a previous version of this article. i realised it was bad and boring, wrote a version where i said what i thought of this idiocy in 2 hrs and josh quittner said that was what he'd been thinking of. i'm cooking up one for next week on quadriga already.

the other other half is a freelance piece on why bitcoin is bad actually for Foreign Policy no less, who don't pay as well but sound impressive.

here's to making more money from bitcoin than a supermajority of bitcoiners, without ever touching one!
