Title: ATTN: Atlas, please explain what "Woolong Financial" is about
Post by: Ayo_4_Yayo on September 21, 2011, 07:35:30 AM
I am very curious because underneath your avatar is says: "founder of Woolong Financial", when I search Google for a company called "Woolong Financial" all I see is 4 results all on this forum. Please explain! Thank you very much!

Also I am really enjoying this forum with all you fine free market entrepeneurs, go go Bittcoin!

That's a really rude way of explaining anything, and there's really no need for the swearing, it comes across as mean-spirited and juvenile.

I was under the impression that Woolong Financial was a subsidiary of woot.com, but I honeslty can't remember where I read this. But from what I remember, it was tasked with figuring out a way of implementing a Bitcoin payment on woot, which - if it ends up succeeding and not getting mired in bureaucracy and unfortunate legalistic red tape like so many projects these days do - will be really, really exciting for BTC!

Neither SA's wonderful bitcoin thread nor your explanation are really helpful in solving the mystery, so I'll wait till Atlas himself talks to me!

Woolongs are the currency used in Cowboy Bebop, an anime. In the anime, most transactions occur digitally, from one "wallet" device to another. However, in the show there exist Woolong notes as well.

SA members who are on this forum and have made it a 3rd world forum have no concept of being a grow up. Just look at my post history in the last 24 hours.

Honestly from your posts and history, you look just as bad as this invisible enemy you are campaigning against. While they may be foul, you get mud all over yourself when you play with the pigs.  They want attention, you are giving it to them.  And you don't come off as looking like a better person when you do.  Good luck though.

Somebody has to respond to them looks like you are to weak to handle that part of it. I'll do the dirty work for the forum since nobody else well.

You don't have to respond to them.  Think of it this way.  If a puppy comes up to you and starts jumping on you whining and pawing, and you want it to leave you alone, do you sit there and start poking, prodding and talking to it?  No, you ignore it and it gets bored and goes to bother someone else.

Thanks! I've taken a lot of heat and abuse for doing so but someone has to at some point!  I'm not saying all SA members are bad but the majority just take this forum to the lowest level.

We won't be taken seriously if we have children calling Bitcoin company's scams and fraudulent with no evidence. This is just one example of the misrepresentation  done by SA members. They should stick to trolling their own forum isn't that the point of their forum?

I, for one, am glad you have taken the mantle of Sheriff round' these parts.  We need some old fashioned libertarian Old West justice and you are the man to dish it out.

Yes, or just laugh at them and carry on with what I was doing.  It's just words.  It's a part of life, people are gonna talk smack, if you take offense to it it just shows insecurities or a fear that the shit talking is valid in some way.

I'm confused, are you saying that you perceive people calling Bruce Wagner a scammer as being comparable to threatening your mother?

I mean it's one thing to like a company, but I have to wonder just what sort of Mommie Dearest upbringing you had if you're using fly-by-night Bitcoin exchanges and stuff as surrogate mothers.  :-X

No,no he is wondering why I engage SA trolls and I said you would do the same if they attacked you and bitcoin. Not defending Bruce but SA is not a jury either.

But someone calling Bruce (or whatever company) a scammer is completely different than someone threatening your mother. Or at least it is in my mind.

If I'm out at a bar watching a sports game and someone talks shit about my favorite player, I'll talk shit back. If someone threatens my mother (or my girlfriend, or my sister, whatever), that's completely different.

And either way, I don't turn around and try to act like I didn't really care and say the other person was just trolling. If I really thought they were just trolling, and didn't have a valid point to make (perhaps wrong, but still valid), I wouldn't interact with them. It's the difference between the guy on the street corner about black U.N. helicopters stealing his thoughts and beaming them to socialist lizardmen and the guy on the street corner saying my sports team sucks and their star player is a choking coward. One's just saying things for attention, the other just irks me!
