Wow, hats off. This thread got to be one of the most insightful in crypto land. Posts on a level as we can enjoy here are rare to come by. Shelby and Smooth discussing all things crypto and distribution.

Smooth is not a hypocrite.

Smooth certainly is not a hypocrite. He's a honest and trustworthy dude who won't refrain from speaking out.

iamnotback certainly knows that smooth is one of the good ones and that his opinions are interesting and important.

Top Definition. shadowban. Banning a user from a web forum in such a way that the banned user is unaware of the ban.

It would be nice if the new forum could have an option implemented that enables admins to ban people in a way that they still can log in to their account and are not notified that they are banned. If they post something only they themselves can see that they're posting whereas everyone else would not see any trace of this user. This prevents the user from creating new account(s) as they believe they're still taking part in the discussions.

I never posted nor thought that you are a newbie, good sir.

Don't be fooled by these announcements. The ripple people are dangerous.

There are two main reasons for people to still believe in Ripple
1. Newbies to crypto who don't know better, yet
2. Utter illusion

Ripple has been dead for 2 years. It never left the ground and engineers moved on.

  There've been several desperate attempts to forcefully bring it back to life, yours is not the first. These attempts never worked and never will.

 corporatized crypto schemes like Ripple just don't cut it

Okay.

 Post a picture of yourself holding your ID card and a piece of paper that says   I am kingcarsen, a previously anonymous character involved in the creation and issuance of worthless cryptocoin tokens that I intentionally hyped up and sold to the poor souls who don't know better.

Judging from the strong affinity to post very long and often cryptic walls of texts, Gustav and Spoetnik could be related. Same family? Cousins?

Spoetnik could be buying more Monero for a happy eureka moment in the future. I bet he will be amused.

Spoetnik is not as bad as he appears to be guys. Got to read between the lines and see through

Hello. Thank you! Are you part of the waves team? Could you please post the MD5 hashes of the software?

Thank you in advance, good sir.

I don't really believe in buying anyway thus it doesn't matter to me if there's anything I can't buy with Bitcoin or not. At the end of the day we don't really need all that anyway.

This is very interesting.  Could you post a full roadmap graphic that covers the next 5 years, sir?

You don't have to justify yourself, gustav. You got pretty much caught in flagrante delicto.

You laid it on the line, so that's okay.

I'm sorry, I go into conniptions at times.  I was and am still genuinely interested in what would happen if such a strong character as yourself would suddenly be in charge of global moderation privileges.  It's almost unpredictable how that would turn out.  A stimulative thought however.  Unpredictability can be very interesting, hence my thread. Apologies for my stupidity.

The more interesting question would be the opposite. Why would Zimbabwe want to adopt Bitcoin?

Please answer this question, the_poet, to shed some more light on the intentions of your thread.

Thank you in advance.

Hello Pavel1995, thanks for promoting your new Twitter account. Please tell us what you have on your mind, sir.

What do you plan on doing with this new account of yours?

That question naturally comes to mind when somebody posts such a detailed guide that explains how to pull off such a scam scheme.

This person must have learned this somewhere.

It's a nice system, isn't it? It's much nicer than just the usual boring post count. It could even be improved upon by implementing even more complex activity ranking algorithms in the future - EpochTalk would be a place to have this engineered.

I can't vote on your poll because the options are very bad. The question of why you have Bitcoin all comes down to the question of to Have or to Be?
Modern society has become materialistic and prefers "having" to "being". The great new promise of decentralized money... Do I have Bitcoin because I want to be rich? Nope. Do I have Bitcoin because of what it represents as a vision? Yup.

I'm sorry if I was being offensive by including schizophrenia on the list but I too suffer from this condition.

I don't mistake it with multiple personality disorder as The Pharmacist has kindly suggested here.

I don't operate a multitude of accounts either, I happen to have only 2.

Personally I don't mind people having plenty of accounts - problem is not quantity but quality.

Some people only post crap - that's all they ever do. Several accounts of those people and toxicity bubbles up.

On the other hand, some people are like genuine sunshine. Several accounts of those people make life brighter for all of us.
