Title: If the Alt section of bitcointalk was a real place, what would it be like?
Post by: Eastbay on November 07, 2014, 10:44:53 PM
I really got to wondering what the alt section of btctalk would be like if it was a real place?

would it be like high school? with cliques of pump groups walking around all blindly following there leader? or is it more like a salem witch trial kinda vibe? please i would love to hear everyones take on it...

we all know it wouldnt be pretty, thats forsure...

I imagine that the bitcoin dev forum is more like a meeting room in some high-scale British manor with everyone standing around in smoking jackets sipping brandy...

I'm thinking those and other groups like the jocks and preps, and goths. IE sha256 guys rig sigs guys and pos guys.

teenagers/child reaction is the better fit for what we see around...

some guy with a walmart suit and gel-saturated hair trying to sell you a timeshare

he offers to shake your hand, and you reluctantly reach out

his hands are greasy and sweaty but you're too polite to say anything

he puts a fake smile on his face and hands you a pile of flyers and brochures

you can go on vacation with your family, he says

while he has no family

or time for vacation

he gets home back to his old apartment with the broken tabletop, more flyers and brochures on top of months-old unpaid bills

he thinks back on his life

he regrets dropping out of high school

why did he listen to those idiots?

why was he so naive?

he opens facebook on his intel atom thinkpad laptop and scrolls through all the statuses of his old high school friends

when was the last time he even talked to jeff?

why didn't jenna invite him to her wedding? they used to be the best of friends

he could have been living the american dream by now

paying a mortgage on his home

owning a new Lexus

taking his kids to the mall

if only
he hadn't
bought altcoins

Is Hell a real place?

Haha. I imagine this but instead of being a man there's a bunch of them and they're all little kids in oversized suits that don't fit them properly and they're just hysterically crying and shouting over each other.

Your average alt coin traders.

Altcoins look a lot like Bitcoins, but kinda roamed off the path a little (generally.)
