I can see it now. Somewhere in the desert is a gathering of bitcoin HODLers, their cars around a huge bonfire in a circle, like petals on a daisy. Would they be VW Rabbits, or Lambos.... Hm. (They should be Ferraris. Much more impressive car than the Lambo) |

you get your devil worshiper haxXoR badge?  muuhahaaa Naah, just the capture the packet T shirt (I can still do it, cool!) and the Defcon badge (which I need to make hack bitcoin or something). Overall a good week. Sex, Drugs, Booze, Lambos, Ferrari's, the whole nine yards. And I avoided the pyramid scams.... |

Part of it is poking fun at legacy finance folks that I've started seeing on reddit. Financial advisers that were so good at their jobs that they never saw how well Bitcoin would do. For some reason their government required certifications did not include looking into things outside of their bubble. And instead of recognizing a potential new technology, they attack it because they need to protect their old system (after all, they did invest a lot of time in those classes and certs).
Indeed. While in Vegas last week I ran into thousands of "Evolve" people at some sort of "financial management" get together. All wearing same shirts, all ready to pull out their cards to give you financial advice (seemed like a pyramid scam). Funniest part was waiting by a rest room and talking to a guy about it. Offered me his card, I said no, he said "so you're not ready to make REAL MONEY". I told him I invested in Bitcoin early on. He shut up. Real money (spit). I want real bitcoins. Edit: I just looked them up and found it World Financial Group. Basically a MLM scam. God I can call these frauds well..... |

Absolutely cause anybody that sell his or her holding in other not to loose because of the dump in price of the market such person person is already loosing. How ever, this remind of Papa Laszlo the man who bought 2 pizza with 10,000 bitcoin back in the year 2010 and I knew he will surely regret doing that now. Guys don't sell your bitcoin now if it not for an important or urgent situation so you won't regret it. He was the first GPU miner. He'll have tens of thousands more coins. Truth be told if he hadn't spent those bitcoins on a pizza, and if CNN hadn't picked it up as a "story" then Bitcoin would have gone the way of flooz and all the other weird payment methods. It was that event IMO that got bitcoin something more than "stupid idea" into "hey, someone will actually pay for this stuff". Laszlo died for your sins.... |

Eh. My opinion on the nature of bitcoin, the recent trials, turbulation and tribulation in the markets, and my thoughts on the future of this coin can be summed up in the following image:  |

er NOW...not so much...can't afford the lifestyle of a female sales clerk at J.C. Penny..... the universe is 'cruel'  Remember my friend, you don't pay for them to come into your life. You pay them to leave. Very important to always remember this. |

if you don't have a lambo .... than just sell the car that you do have and buy the same 6K bitcoins .... and buy it back with the same BTC dust  But if you did that in January you would still be hitchhiking today.  This is why the rich get richer, they can hold during bear markets. What I need to do is get off my lazy butt and work again. For (devalued) bitcoins. |

All that said, if I had a Lambo I would gladly trade it in for bitcoins at 6k a coin. Couple of months buy it back with some bitcoin dust.
HODL.

Wikipedia describes Andretti as living in Pennsylvania, and his activites seem to me around that location.. not in Las Vegas.
Are you saying that Andretti is currently in Las Vegas or are you getting his "driving instruction" via video, simulation or fraud (maybe what you got is something like Roger Ver acting as the "real Andretti?)?
Nope, he was here. And in the Pics or it didn't happen: Mario Brother.  I fucking fit in these Lambos. Barely.  Twin-Turbo Ferrari's are much more roomy.  And yeah, he totally fucking trounced our track scores in the 911..... |

Sounds about right fabio. I'm not selling, off to another day in weird-ville instead.
Still can't get over having Mario Andretti as my driving instructor, this place is seriously weird.

We are just stuck at 7k. Blah.
Well, that comment aged poorly. grr No shit. I just woke up here in the hotel and thought: "Damn people should be dumping their Lambos and buying Bitcoin. If only it wasn't so expensive". So I checked the prices...... And now, 6400 bitcoin and I am kind of unimpressed with Lambos (well, the Hurrican at least). Can barely fit in them, and they're surprisingly sluggish on the track. Especially compared to a twin turbo Ferrari or even a 911 GT3. So last night was a lesson: If you have bitcoins, HODL. If you have Lambos, SELL and pick up cheap coinz... Definitely a bumpy night. |

The alternative is to watch Bitcoin go nowhere. Boring. Think I'll find a BTC ATM. |

Have fun bro ! I'll be there in late October myself.
Yeah this should be fun. Here to see old friends at Blackhat/Defcon, drive some exotic cars on the track, then hit the midget dwarf party. Weird, but always fun. First though I'm going to take a nap now that I arrived at the hotel. Last time I was there, Rick found me at the War table after spending the afternoon with some friends at the pool, a complete slurring, sloppy drunken mess, smoking a cigar.
I haven't had a cigar in 15 years.
Vegas is a perfect place to leave one's vices: Drink to the point where I wake up drunk the next day? Sure. Smoke cigars at the craps tables or cigar parlors. Drive fun cars, why not. Dance all night at the clubs: Sure! Chat with the hookers, enjoy the view and the people on the strip, talk to everyone, go to a few security things, maybe give a talk at Bsides if I am drunk enough. It's a good place for a few days, then you start to realize you're in a desert and the caviar and seafood and steaks only come because they are being flown in on airplanes. And if civilization collapses and those planes stop coming it will be bad fast. That is time to get out. Did leave my flamethrower at home. I need to check with a cop to see if one can open carry a flamethrower on the strip. And I look to see that Bitcoin is back above 7100, so the world will not end. |

Off to Vegas for some fun and excitement!

Are you judging her looks or her personality? Looks are a 9, from a raging hetero here.
Looks as implied by age. Besides, boobs and hips are too small despite being prominently... displayed. Neck too long/thin, hair unnatural, could be a bot. It's tripping my "uncanny valley" sensors. But as they say, your mileage may vary, some settling of contents may occur. |

That girl is a 6/10 at most,.
Sorry guy. The resident gay dude is rating her a hard 8/10, at the very least, just on that photo alone. Rick is being catty this evening, and is feeling generous with a 7/10 rating. No way is that a 6. She looks young enough to go on and on about Justin Bieber all.... night.... long..... 6. With earplugs, 7. |
|
|

Yeah. I'd probably switch teams if she became available.
Very fine specimen.
The only way I would go after a woman like that is if she was a hooker. Reason, at the end of an evening you would pay to have her go. And you'd go Gay. |

Private jets, helicopters...
ARE YOU NOT INTO TRAINS?
+1 Train travel is seriously underrated. Snowpiercer for the win! |

I have always had a soft spot for the 928s but don’t know a lot about them. What does the S4 badge mean?
S4 is the later model 928 from 87 onward. 32 valve engine, bigger brakes, really nice performance, more creature comforts. The 4 refers to 4 valves per cylinder. It does have a lot of pick up from 4,000 to redline. And rather inexpensive since it's not a 911 (which really is a rickety car) however parts, fit, and finish were all top line quality (expensive to maintain). (Edited slightly) |
