I entertained myself by going short.  Mentioned many times that I've been trading gambling with pocket lint since last year--real trading in a market this unregulated is impossible.
It wasn't possible before 2014 either, but imagine happening into a town full of rubes already sold on monorail?



It's the future, they're whipped up into a frenzy by their "visionary" friends



They're already congratulating each other for being "early adopters," for "understanding" the technology, for having torn the veils of mundane reality for a glimpse of the forbidden, naked (and sorta hawt, in that Rubenesque sorta way) TRUTH!



high-fiving each other for not being sheeples & having the balls to join the money revolution (by spending a few bux).
They're helping each other count their rewards (presumably for having such bold conviction and massive balls)!



Have you imagined this like I told you to?  Good.
These investment enthusiasts were beyond help (though, God knows, I've tried), beyond reason, they were locked in as if on rails, their fate was sealed.

Can you really blame me for profiting from their stupidity?  In light of the fact that they are firm believers in the rightness of ruthless laissez faire markets?  In light that even as I was taking their money, I honestly told them (over and over and over, as I'm still telling them now) EXACTLY what I was doing and EXACTLY where their wacky antics would lead?

Whoa, check out that bangin' green sex toy on BFX!

You might do the same if you're stalling for time

That's the spirit.

Speechless.  Bitcoin's premiere exchanges can't secure their coin, but Bob the Plumber's is totally safe.  Long as it's airgapped from the intertubes.

OK, but do I get to hold all the fiat, or how does that work?

You realize that Bitcoin inflation rate has been ~12%, not 10%, in 2014, right?  And though the hashrate spiked over the last few days, it has declined over 2 out of 3 previous difficulty adjustments.  The price has declined during that time also.

That's like poker chips you can't cash in, or money that doesn't buy anything--pointless.

Brah, you Bitcoiners steal from each other so fast, even teh crookid banksters want nothing to do with you.  But hey, if it feels better when surprise buttsecs comes from a Bitcoiner

Til that day, I'll be spending my real money and laughing at you dreaming your BTCeanie BTCabies Bitcoin world domination dreams.

>thinks education = brainwashing
>calls people clueless

That gas u huffed instead of getting brainwashed in school?  Guess u were 2 cheap to buy unleaded

Funny how hope is always the last thing to die, ain't it?

There might be other reasons, but don't let that distract you from huffing gas, whining about taxes & losing money in Bitcoin.

Going down again?  Meh.

Stamp selflessly sacrifices its credibility to stem the run on Bitcoin, and all you Bitcoiners do is ridicule it.
You gentlemen don't even know who your heroes are

I don't mind you Bitcoiners stealing from each other so much, it's actually pretty entertaining.
But why must you bitch about real exchanges every.single.time you get assraped by one of your own?
Like dealing with battered housewives who blame everyone but their abuser.

+1. Bitcoin's only safe if you never have to use it.

I was told Bitcoin, the trustless P2P currency, was created to eliminate third-party risks, but you say it ain't so?  Dang...

All your coin are belong to us
