Bitcion CEO software engineering logic. "Why haven't you supported segwit yet?" Answer: "We must make software changes carefully and it will take a long time." Same exact CEO on hard-fork upgrades of bitcoin, "It's simple, we will just let Garzik do it without any testing."

If a guy buries a bunch of gold in the woods and then later loses the map he made that showed where to find it.... who blames the gold?

What a phone call. A guy I knew from about 7 years ago just cold called me about buying bitcoin. Realize that I gave him the full bitcoin explanation back then. I think the price was probably $3k, I can't remember exactly. It took bitcoin at $72k to finally get him to think it

Worried about your kids going to school during a pandemic? No problem. Just tell the school that they haven't had their coronavirus vaccine yet. Everyone knows kids aren't allowed to go to school if they aren't up to date on their vaccinations. #notmykid

@amanpour @paulkrugman It's not "peculiar". Interest rates are up 250%, making buying a home or even a car out of reach for anyone who needs to use credit. Inflation, which has already been massive, is ongoing. Prices haven't declined they are just no longer increasing as fast as they were; but are

@KeithOlbermann @BaddCompani Where has the DOJ been? This is from three years ago. No one has been arrested. I think the DOJ is completely corrupt at this point.

Why didn't I buy the ETH premine? Because it was a premine. Because the ETH virtual machine was a security nightmare, proven again and again and again. Because it was a bitcoin affinity scam. I have also avoided all of the other alt-coins because they are all just affinity scams

@kyledcheney @Sky_Lee_1 Trump would get rid of those guys and install those who would be compliant. So, not a valid argument.

The point here? I did not make an 'investment' decision when I refused to participate in ETH, the shitcoin casino, including hard fork attacks on the bitcoin network. I was making a decision based on principle. I don't think most people 'get this'.

@DavidSonstebo WTF would I sell anything to you for under market price? At any rate, I guess you didn't read the part where I said the network is broken. I couldn't sell them to you if I wanted, no transactions are confirming!
