Bitcoin Forum

Something Awful likes Bitcoin Weekly comics (http://bitcoinweekly.com/comics/the-gavinator) so much that they link to it on a bitcoin thread. (http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?noseen=0&threadid=3417853&pagenumber=74)

Ain't that awesome?

Wow you have 4600 posts on a forum dedicated to pretend internet money. 

How do I get bitcoin capital for my project?  Let me summarize said project:

It's essentially a capitalist version of mass delusion.  You stand in a circle, and you hand money to the person on your left, in the hopes that the person on your right hands more money to you.  There's one or two people in the middle of the circle who take a small amount of money from everyone's hands every time the money goes around.  New people can join by just entering the circle and handing money to the person on their left.  No one will ever leave the circle because they're too proud of this stupid circle and amazed at how the money goes round and round like a NASCAR race.

Meh. It's an illusion that create a whole magazine dedicated to Bitcoin, including Bitcoin comics some of you guys are reading.

Does your "mass delusion" create that?

Love SomethingAwful.  Do they accept Bitcoin as payment to join?

Where is this wonderful magazine?  How often is it published?

http://bitcoinweekly.com  ::)

goons ITT

Fixed that for you.

I don't really care what goons think as long as they read my magazine.  ;)

Also, I welcome the modification and photoshopping of bitcoin weekly comics.

I like them, keep it going!

Oh you mean a website.  Ahh see you said magazine.  That actually has a specific meaning in English.  Like when I go to the newstand and pick up a copy of The Economist, that's a magazine.

I concur, don't ever stop.  Spend more and more effort and time on your comics.

Yeah grandpa, they're right next to the buggy whips and the guy who's selling stamps for air-mail to Siam.

Get with the program.

Are you on a magazine right now, or are you on a website?

The Economist website is not a magazine?

Bitcoin Weekly represents the term Online Magazine than a larger percentage of the shit blogs out there that try and use that title.  The format is not like a website in the way the information is delivered.

You have a blog, you don't have a magazine.  A tumblr account is not a museum of priceless art even if it is filled with Monet .jpgs

What Bitcoin Weekly does is publish essays and analysis and we publish them when they are ready. There's a deadline but it really means you just need to produce content regularly. We got our own internal commenting system that help with the editing process.

Anything that is time sensitive and newsy tends to be discouraged in favor of articles that you read 30 days from now, six months from now, and years later.

I'm reading a pedantic lickspittle's idea of witty prose.

Oh here sorry I didn't pay attention to you earlier.

This is, perhaps, the best comeback I've ever read.  Well played.

Well, the latest comic is now permanently on the front page.  ;D

Before that, you would need to click on the latest comic link.

So you practice appeasement?  ;)

What are you doing in a forum dedicated to these 'pretend internet money'?

A Blog typically is a magazine. Just because it doesn't have a laminated cover with "Teen Star" or some shit, written as a title does not mean it's not a magazine.

mag·a·zine/ˌmagəˈzēn/Noun
1. A periodical publication containing articles and illustrations, typically covering a particular subject.

this thread and this comment from Jalum in another thread https://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=27368.msg345049#msg345049 (https://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=27368.msg345049#msg345049)
made me think of this comic http://xkcd.com/386/ (http://xkcd.com/386/) for some reason.

So in honour of all the Jalum type trolls I modified the xkcd comic to this:

Rawdog said that too in one of his videos :)

This is sensational.

Yea I've said it before and I'll say it again. Bitcoin weekly comics are hilariously bad.

Gotta love the flying squirrel bombers...

Bitcoin to the Rescue !!!

Read the comics folks, funny as shart.

Call it a magazine all you want it may be technically a magazine by definition but here in reality it's a blog and you just call it a magazine to feel professional and go against the grain where anyone else would call it a blog.

But that's beside the point because yes, a big mass delusion would indeed create what you have created regardless of what you call it. See THE DOLLAR for one example ::) ::) or perhaps Scientology if you don't like the other example.

What is your definition of a magazine? Oh wait...


I'm confused...

And lets get something straight. From reading the linked thread a lot of these guys aren't mocking bitcoin, they're mocking the users that have turned this from a well educated forum into a cesspit.

No, let's really get something straight. See me last post.

But any sane person would call it a blog because it matches a whole lot better with that definition.

I can call my square a rectangle but I'm better suited calling it a fucking square.

A square is a rectangle.. It doesn't matter what you call it.

Honestly, I feel bad. I will pay your $50 a year for field trips and lunch money, etc to go back to elementary school.

I used to have a dog that barked for table scraps. Does anybody know where I can buy "Troll Chow"? Jalum once wrote on this forum, "See?  This is what I mean by people who are emotionally attached to an idea." Is he emotionally attached to dissing Bitcoin? I smoke after sex. Does Jalum smoke after trolling?

My apologies to Jalum, for I've never flamed anyone on the internet before. I hope it I did it correctly. Feedback (by any members) welcomed.

But if i told you I had a rectangle you generally wouldn't think of a square.

Just like if I told you I created a magazine you wouldn't imagine a website.

"You" referring to the general English speaking population. Not the predisposed "you" who would think of a website and a square just so his argument is correct.

edit:RE: square is a rectangle

That's why I used that as an example. Maybe you should take that $50 & fund your own education a bit further.
 

I think Trolls eat pigeons, whereas I eat doves.

Cartoon Idea: Use this image as your starting point but change the word Pedestrians to Trolls: http://www.bestweekever.tv/bwe/images/2008/06/PIGEONS%20123.jpg

A Magazine is to a blog as a square is to a rectangle. It doesn't matter what anyone *thinks*, it is the same thing. Technically, preferably, whatever. You can say what you want to say, they're the same thing in the end.

In today's world, a blog or to be exact WP is a platform, any type of site can be built on WP platform.  For instance when you see a tube site running on WP, do you call it a blog or a tube site, or blog tube, or tube blog? Edit: if such tube site built well, you won't even notice it runs on a blog software.

Are you better off calling a square a square or a square a rectangle? Which makes more sense and conveys more information? What would you gain from advertising your square as a rectangle? What would you gain from advertising your square a square?

It does matter in the end, but go ahead and keep calling your blog a magazine and your square a rectangle and speculators trolls & your rooster a cock and skeptics trolls your cigarettes faggots.

edit: Hey look a magazine about magazines
http://www.blogmagazine.com/

TLDR; A square is still a rectangle though.  ;D

As was agreed upon always

without wiki help i'm sure you don't even know where word "blog" comes from :)
why are you arguing how one presents their site, does it matter at all? 

BLOG IS A CONTENT DELIVERY PLATFORM in today's word unless you're running some kind of a journal/diary thing

What amuses me is that all the trolling and rebuttal actually help increase traffic for Bitcoin Weekly.  ;D

Something Awful hits gave Bitcoin Mining Accidents a few thousand extra visits last month.

Actually it dosen't matter (although we can start psychoanalyzing kiba based on his usage of magazine instead of blog if you want) and it skips over a much more important part of the parent post which makes this argument even worse for me. Oh and weblog.

Cool! another btc comic

I like this one more
http://bitcoinweekly.com/comics/bitcoin-future

I second it. Please photoshop the comics and post everywhere!

Ewww. another thread mentioning Something Awful their forums died a long time ago - for the better.

Moving forward now!  ;D

So what happened to the Bitcoin comic anyway? I miss scratching my head trying to figure out what the joke was supposed to be. It looks like only 5 were ever made, which I guess is about how long most Bitcoin projects go before the creator gets bored and quits (or scams everyone and runs away but you can't do that with a webcomic).

Bitcoin.  Full of insane people confirmed.
