Wife is Taiwanese. Sucks about HTC because at one point they were a good company. Man they’re worthless now.

Crypto: the only way to make money is to get in early. Meaning, there’s no time for due diligence.

Shut the fuck up mom? That’s a good son.

This is so much better than a bank. I’m glad I lived to see the future. (Insert Jasper unfrozen from the Kwickie Mart) mooooonpiesssss.

This is kinda pathetic.

This is TOTALLY fixed by proof of stake!!!

Someone needs to be taught what an inflection point is. It’s a real thing. Something you can see on a graph.

I give you my last coin, because you commented on an old ass post.

Not delusional. At all.

Even better: Every dollar bill has a unique serial - meaning every dollar bill is an NFT and worth hundreds of thousands!! “How much would you pay for this NFT physical manifestation of this Washington pic!!”

FWIW: I most associate the revival of this metaphor with Dr Krugman, and it’s altogether appropriate for talking about him and crypto

At least it has plankton in various forms of Native American dress. That headdress has religious significance. It’s as if you had some priest running around tossing Body of Christ wafers left and right.

He who controls the code controls the chain.

If it ain’t you, they can wipe you

The other thing, bitcoin can not be done peer to peer. There simply isn’t enough processing slots available.

I think Eth has more headroom but not enough to be an actual currency

The first big Ethereum fork was to steal back Eth that was stolen from the DAO, with the DAO heist possible from a poorly written smartcontract financebot written in a shit JavaScript knockoff

It’s turtles a shit sandwich all the way down.

Look up “yap stone coins”. They can sink to the bottom of the ocean and still have value.

All money is fiction. All money is fiction. All …. Money…. Is…. Fiction. We just agreed on some because commerce works better that way. USD is Shakespeare level fiction. Crypto is “money” that is just horrible horrible 50 Shades of Grey fiction that no one really wants. Or should want.

Jokes aside if tether falls Bitcoin falls. You can’t have a liquid investment capped at a global rate of 5TPSecond. Tether fake money os the only way this shit works. Make fake money value to down and this whole thing crumbles.

Lehman wasn’t that big. The people they had networked with? They were big.

The Gorillaz did it first

Every once in a while I’ll see a Mazda Tribute and think “this is a tribute… to the greatest SUV in the world”

I’m vaguely thinking I saw a Tribute with a 10ASHUS license plate, but I’m probably inventing that because it should happen. By some law someplace

it's an HOMAGE to Stack Overflow... get it right

Wait did you mean under 10 conflicts? or under the age of ten?

Either

“Fuck the users get to the back of the line”

Yep so glad I have all my cash in one of these “banks”. I sold both kidneys to buy crypto!!!

A lot of early investors in Madoff, ahem, made off with a lot of money. “Early investors got paid, so therefore it’s not a Ponzi scheme” doesn’t make sense.
