The clubhouse chat yesterday w/ Weinstein was pretty entertaining if anyone else got a chance to listen. Love hearing some of these intellectuals come into the room expecting to spout the same nonsense that works everywhere else and get bullshit called on them and their feelings immediately hurt. Welcome to bitcoin where your legacy intellectual status is meaningless.
I still have no idea why Weinstein doesn't like bitcoin. Just... gauge theory?
Day 3 of waiting for Ally bank to send a wire transfer. Numerous call requests tell me it's on someone's desk "for review". Once again a reminder your money in a bank is actually credit and subject to endless delays and potential forfeiture due to subjective rules & laws.
Bitcoin is the only 24/7/365 fuck you money that allows you to take back control.
I can't wait to explain to my daughter someday on how we used to use paper money to transact. Just like Monopoly money. We literally traded paper that was impossible to validate the authenticity of for our goods and services. Our government and politicians had total control of the money supply and could easily funnel it to their allies without almost any approval from the people that gave it its value. We were literally slaves to our government.
Bitcoin isn't volatile. There will still only be 21 million. The volatility has due to do with the complete failure of fiat currencies to retain their purchasing power as government continually debases it's value. And bitcoin never found uses? Taleb went full retard. His ego is so broken right now he can't even be honest.
Who's going to be the first large company that invests in ETH - an asset founded by a child porn sympathizer? Just sayin...
Take time to appreciate how boring and reliable bitcoin seems at times by looking at the #1 shitcoin Ethereum. Fees to interact with a complex smart contract are thousands of dollars.
Sometimes i just need to stare at a giant pile of shit like Ethereum to appreciate how beautifully designed and functional bitcoin is.
I've been on the phone w/ Ally bank for 28+ minutes now trying to close a CD. I feel like the first person in history that's closed a CD early,. Can't fucking stand banking it is criminally bad. Every penny of this is going into bitcoin. Fuck the system, fuck the bankers. AML laws have absolutely crippled legacy banking.
@whiterabbit wish there was a not sarcastic tag. The world needs more people like Thomas.
