If a person was going to operate on the dark net, it would make sense to

a) never brag or talk about anything to do with it , ever , in RL, or on the internets, even using a pseudonym
b) never use any RL indentifiers ever
c) use cash bought throw away notebooks, cycle for new every x weeks
d) use TOR but also through a fresh temporary OS live install from a USB , i.e TAILs or live linux distro - close down after every use
e) never use their own internet connection or one tied to you in anyway (even better super dark satellite phone in a moving car on motorway)
f) have a distributed distribution network (the weakest point and really to pull off needs organised connections)
g) create brand names but cycle their darksite operations (better yet use openbazzar etc in future)
h) be paranoid and reclusive
i) not get involved unless they have super discipline


The weakest points being dealing with the distribution, or even dealing with the distributor(s), leaking your info, and your tumbling laundering process.

It seems to me that the days of online darknet blackmarkets, has only just started to get its shoes on... it has just started and up until now, it appears it has been run by amateurs and on a small scale with little real organisation behind it... this will change IMO.

(A thought exercise)

I wish some bright spark had tweeted "WINKLEVOSS ETF !! OS HERE!!11" while the twinks™ were on stage.

That would have been hilarious! and to see if and what the reaction would have been.

(evil laugh)

(terrible person guilt)

(shrug)

Sounds like it was mainly them talking about the history of money (and saying it was from barter) econ 101, gold is good , currency is better and digital is best, money made of precious metal is no more "real" then money made of paper or computer bits   and drones will deliver our sun screen on the beach, internet has become very good at exchanging data, but until digital currencies, it couldn't exchange value. Blah blah. Nothing of much note.

Does not sound like they did a very good job ....

Winkelvoss are on stage now - no live link though meh

sigh

A mentalist on a forum, is not the face of anything

Ignoring does not stop him, and people do not ignore him, or just abuse him, they actually still "debate" with the little pointless shit, result- ongoing fucked thread.






meh... what difference does it make, every 5 or more out of every ten posts are lambshits total and utter rubbish, and the thread is now just a constant tit for tat BS argument with the twat (and has been for weeks/months now)

It may have be Adams party, but the party has been gatecrashed, and it is not a party anymore.

Also, Adam may get to decide, who goes, but not who stays... thread has become unreadable, I mean worse than normal, it used to be fun at least, and have some meat to it, but now as I said, unreadable, not fun... who wants to stay around for the Lambturd show?
We are either just helping a deranged person get his kicks, or making Lambpoos employer very happy, because actual discussion on thread , or even actual good natured banter/fun is dwindling more and more by the day, and the reason?

Que some total twaddle from the child in 3 .... 2 ...1

(edit: must be past its bedtime)

Thread is dead.

lambcraps killed it.

Way to go lambcrap.

Way to go mods.

I was not comparing the two... I was merely making a joke about the size of his palace...  and actually the country was not piss poor, they had zero national debt and plenty of wealth, just in the hands of very very very few people.

Also I am not comparing their situations, apart from to say, if people do not like Erdowogwan, then they know what to do about it (in reply to the gentleman above saying not happy with egoweirdwan and the situation in Turkey, again, not serious)

Yup, and I think you will find that Ceaușescu did not have many fans, and were not that impressed with the palace, I was in Bucharest in the 80's - I will never forget the things I saw there, I have been back several times since and it has improved, as beautiful a place as Romania is, and even though Ceaușescu paid off the national debt etc, the country, the people (non party at least)  were also dirt poor .. and Ceaușescu built the largest private residence in the world (the picture above)  and well, people did not like it...(among many other things) and look how that ended for Ceaușescu... if you guys are not keen on the false flag plotting dodgy geezer you have running your country... maybe take a leaf out of the books of the Romanian people ; )  although you may want to enlist the help of the British Secret service (who were in it up to their eyeballs- also amazing what you can accomplish with a few fireworks   worked well for the Romanians lol , and we all know how that ended for Ceaușescu and his wiafff. (They had a terrible Christmas)

As sure as eggs is eggs the ETF's WILL be approved, like them or not, they are coming to the market some time in the next 6 months- 1 year

But then we would never have the fun of watching it eventually explode (like the gold and silver paper market will do in time)

That looks like a mere penthouse apartment that Ceaușescu had built ontop of his "palace" as an after thought. (we all know what happened to him huh?)



I have seen this place, it is f'kin huge.

I would go to the clinic to get that checked out 

Eitherway, that orderbook (for what it is worth) on stamp is looking thin right this second.....

Que........

Stamp is anemic right about now.

cut them

(harsh)

 

I wish I wish  I wish I had gotten myself to Vegas for this weekend 

Drugs and rock 'n' roll, bad ass Vegas hoes,
Late-night booty calls and shiny disco balls.

Oh and Money 20/20
