Do not forget that SwayStar wanted to deplatform WO as an “extremely toxic community”.*  Quote-unquote.

* Original topic title:  “Should Bitcoin Wall Observer thread be deleted?”  SwayStar later edited the title and OP only to call for merits to be disabled in WO.

I always comport myself as a gentleman, and I suggest that others do likewise.  I think that I am also well on record as communicating professionally with the few females who are interested in technical or financial topics, who are here for that purpose, and who behave themselves as mature adults instead of tantrum-throwing toddlers.

Whereas I read CryptoTourist as giving a big fuck-you to deplatforming, to cancel culture—to the notion that more than twenty-seven thousand pages of forum posts should be memory-holed because someone Got Offended On The Internet.  Here, honey, have a dose of “toxic”.  No, you can’t delete it.  This forum does not have a “Code of Conduct”, a “Trust and Safety Team”, or other features of a padded playpen.  Anyway, that was my take on it.

Accordingly, sirazimuth can go skullfuck himself with a dildo sculpted from his own sanctimonious bullshit.

I am using uncharacteristic expletives for a reason.



For the record.  At greater length than before.  Because apparently, some people just don’t get it.  Sometimes, I need to be less subtle.

On another note...



On Whores and Historical Perspective

...regularly adapted to problems and scenarios specific to modernity.  Etc...

[—discussion of whoring—]

 C'mon man.

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=whore

 An exposé on nullian hypocrisy will suffice.

Perhaps you may mistake me for a Christian—or for indulging the modern Victorian prudishness which, by no accident, coincided with stupid men’s invention of feminism.  Do you suppose that I buy into the Nineteenth Century’s orgy of modern democratic delusions?  Given the implausibility that I could be so foolish, I think it’s more probable that you have just never heard the old aristocratic aphorism, stated as to the lower classes, “The whore protects the virtue of the wife.”

Men will fuck women who are not their own wives.  That is human nature, on a level that cannot be changed unless humans are replaced by meat-robots (n.b.).  If common prostitutes are unavailable to low-class men who can neither access nor afford mistresses and courtesans, then they will chase each others’ wives, and society will fall apart.  To recognize this fact of life is necessary for wise governance—but of course, it would be indiscreet to mention this to the masses who need to be governed.  Oops.  Anyway, that is the old-fashioned view; attempts to outright eradicate prostitution are mostly new to modern democracies steeped in feminist dogmata.

So as for the lower classes.

Moreover, given that you name yourself after Homer, I’d expect that you would recognize my habitual allusions to classy sex in classical antiquity—including my posts with classical and neoclassical statues of Phryne, the hetaera who has inspired poets and artists for millennia.  That is neither modern nor degenerate.  For example:

I usually don’t label these things.  If you neither know, nor seek to know by yourself, then you do not deserve to know.  Anyway, this is a statue of Phryne—history’s most famous practitionress of the oldest profession:
What, you want a clearer view?  (Do a double-take:  Yes, this is a statue.)

nullius’ girlfriend

Occasionally, as hereby, I do explain just a bit.
Loading image...

That is a statute of the most famous ancient Greek ἑταίρᾱν, the cultural equivalent of a classical gaṇikā.

I must remark but briefly:  Phryne was once tried on a criminal charge of blasphemy.  As an argument in her defence, her advocate stripped her naked before the tribunal.  That was his actual argument:  She was too beautiful to be guilty!  The Greeks associated physical beauty with moral excellence (and ugliness with wickedness).  Phryne was acquitted.

How do you accuse me of hypocrisy?


You need a better dictionary.  Preferably one that, among other things, gives etymologies.  LOL!  A philology joke.  There I go being subtle again.  I cherish subtlety, because I care.


Edited for clarity.

   I was more concerned with 'modernity' than 'whore' but I appreciate the insight nonetheless.  Cryptotourist understood what I wrote and had already defended your hypocrisy as trolling; I was happier with that explanation.

 I named myself after Homer  Embarrassed

Never mind the aliens, ... yet.

The most suprising event this year is not the assassination of the Iranian top general Qasem Soleimani, BLM, wildfires ore Covid-19 but the release of U.F.O footages from 2005/2015/2017 by the U.S goverment.


Aliens smell like farts. If they land they will stink the place out.

...Which led my son to one inescapable conclusion: If aliens exist, they probably smell like farts.

I don’t know enough about farts, Mars, or aliens to refute him, so I reached out to somebody who does: Clara Sousa-Silva, a molecular astrophysics postdoctoral associate at MIT.

“Your son is absolutely correct in his inference,” she told me. “Most of my work in astrobiology looks at anaerobic environments, which have a lot in common with the environments that produce farts. So, yes, aliens are reasonably likely to smell like farts.”

Now I know what Ripley was smelling...



 Given the situation, I'd likely be smelling my own shit.

Funny how a multi-millionaire Bitcoin supporter can say this (because it speaks truth) and get away with it and nobody says shit, while an average Joe retail bitcoiner says the exact same thing for years and gets called a "Bitcoin maximalist" and "small blocker".  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

I'm still keeping an eyebrow raised towards that Saylor dude. I want to believe he's a genuine long, but if there is one thing crypto has taught me, it's "Don't trust anyone".

I totally understand your suspicion.  And sort of feel it too... But the thing is he's the CEO of a publicly traded company.  He can't be lying about this without HUGE consequences.  Now his intent for how long he stays in??  Thats a different matter.  If we get a big bump and he thinks he can get out at least partially with something like a 20% gain... well he certainly could.

Have you heard any of his myriad interviews?  He is a great actor if he's just pretending to have been bitten by the BTC bug.

 If he wasn't lying about how much he paid to acquire the BTC, his average buy is USD $11,100 so he's gonna have to HODL

@nutildah
Apologies accepted. Let's move on.

@nullius
You explained the sense of my original post better than I could possibly do. Only one thing to you as well: let's move on too. As you said this is the last place in the world to have an open debate regarding how the world is becoming a worst nightmare compared to those envisaged in 1984/Brave new world. Because, if you ask me, both Orwell and Huxley were right.
For the sake of respect for everyone else I will stop commenting those topics in this thread.

Quote from: satoshi
The root problem with conventional currency is all the trust that’s required to make it work. The central bank must be trusted not to debase the currency, but the history of fiat currencies is full of breaches of that trust. Banks must be trusted to hold our money and transfer it electronically, but they lend it out in waves of credit bubbles with barely a fraction in reserve. We have to trust them with our privacy, trust them not to let identity thieves drain our accounts.

If people would understand this very simple mechanism I am sure there will be a massive FOMO.

The confirmed science and math that Satoshi didn't understand has to do with how poorly this system functions as a currency. We tried it for a few years. It doesn't work. It's only a bad speculative vehicle, which now people realize and have been dumping for 4 years. The project failed. Neat idea, but fractional reserve banking is clearly better based on all proven and confirmed science and math. I'm glad Satoshi tried this out, but now we know it doesn't work and we can go back to the way things are proven to work best.

 It seems as though adamstgBit letting you off the hook for a 10 BTC debt your mouth fingers got you into has somehow emboldened you.

Working on it...
Transferring 10 MB of data uses about the amount of energy in a AA battery which is 0.0039 kWh

Eureka, I have found the culprits, now we can point the finger at the ones truly responsables for global warming..
It's Romania and its outrageous internet speeds.

Just think, if every Romanian would use its grotesque  Grin and monstrous  Grin internet connection at full capacity just for one minute a month...
Let's see..
500Mbit/s > 60MB > 60 seconds, that's 3.6 GB a day.
You've said 0.0039kWh per 10 MB, so that's 1.4Khw a day, but there are 365 days and 20 million of you so that's 10 billion kWh/year or 20% of the power you produce in a year.

That's for one minute of full speed a day.
Time for a UN resolution limiting your speeds at some 10Mbits and tax you 50 euros a month.

Energy Expended


This one will soon need a new line, at current speeds we're doing at least 50,000,000,000 with best efficiency gear.


 Ha ha!  Good one.
 Romania does have awesome internet speed but please don't send in the UN; there's too much bureaucracy already!

I am not really sure if it's a good idea to compare the electricity consumption of those songs listed above with Bitcoins'. They don't really look as important/valuable as Bitcoin, and probably don't deserve to consume too much. In my opinion, it's OK for Bitcoin to consume lots of electricity for good uses and for security, as long as the energy is efficiently used... and comes from good/clean sources.

 Much like Bitcoin, the music used in the example has the ability to transcend cultural and language barriers.  I hope that one day, Bitcoin is just as popular as any one of those songs; hence the comparison.
