Probably not a joke. Then again, there are plenty of people who don't know WTF they are talking about. While he is well-versed in other areas, this opinion of his seems lunacy to me. |

It's true that bars (especially live music bars), and by extension musicians, have been hurt by anti-smoking laws.
...
I respectfully disagree, Jimbo. And I'll respectfully disagree with your disagreement. 'Round these parts, it is hard to draw any certainty, as the last two decades have seen not only proliferation of anti-smoking laws, but also stepped up DUI enforcement, and a veritable plethora of entertainment options that don't involve leaving one's home. That said, there was a distinct step function in the drying up of night life that occurred exactly when the anti-smoking laws came this way. And we already had a situation where there were non-smoking venues existing alongside non-smoking venues. They both drew their interested clientele, and everyone got along splendidly. Nope. The do-gooders decided that they have the authority to tell everyone else what they are or are not allowed to do with their property and their lives. And several industries imploded. Just where from do you think the power to order others around derives? |

I fucking hate those people that cross the street when they see you have a cigarette, as if being within 10 ft of one will give you cancer.
Or perhaps ... just hear me out here ... maybe they just find cigarette smoke unpleasant? |

I hate anti-smoking Nazis. If you want to smoke, smoke. If you don't want to smoke, don't smoke. If you own a bar or restaurant, you should be free to allow smoking or not. The public should be free to choose whether they want to patronize smoking or non-smoking establishments.
Spoken like a true musician. |

Just a year ago, or so, we had all kinds of ways that individuals could contact each other to attempt to negotiate a deal to directly transact their bitcoins, and they (we) were using local bitcoin's as a means to accomplish that. But, that avenue has largely dried up in a lot of locations
Hmm. So, "all kinds of ways" = exactly one - namely locabitcoins? |

Many of the interviewees in the piece look like CIA friendly assets or informants ...

you guys really don't get it
if y'all don't mention SV, he won't either
if you slander his coin he is obligated to step in and correct the record as he sees it
do you want more SV discussion in here? because this is how you get more SV discussion in here
Does it make a difference if we are slandering BCH rather than SV? Not much. When the result is either slanderous double-speak about BCH, or echo-chamber misunderstanding prattlings about BSV, I'll likely offer a rebutttal. Ball is in your court, mudderfugger. |

Guys, I bought a nice domain name a few months back related to bitcoin; it's still sitting in the dust. I wanted your suggestions about what to do with it. I've got some free time these days and thought of building a little bitcoin-related thing on it; something small like that "BRRRRR" page. It can also be related to Bitcointalk. The best suggestion, that I'll be considering for development and implementation, will get straight 20 Merits from me.  Did you have the foresight to buy "BBBBRRRR.com?" Bravo! |

Still processing transactions. Still being used in real commerce. No reports of monetary loss (at least of which I am aware. For all your hyperventilation, all is well.
I'm going to start calling you J "All is well" Breher. Enjoy the new nickname. Even after bcash is 51% attacked or death spirals into stillness, you'll still be telling us about how everything is great. ::whistling nonchalantly:: Your rage is palpable. |

3 blocks away from BCH halving!
214 blocks in the new epoch and all is well. "All is well." LIAR!  Your coin has literally shit the bed in the last 2 days. Its hash rate just plummeted 45%, to a low not seen since August 2019. A low not seen in ... somewhat under a year? How ecstatic you must be. Still processing transactions. Still being used in real commerce. No reports of monetary loss (at least of which I am aware. For all your hyperventilation, all is well. Your attempts at gaslighting are all fail. I could name BSV or a hundred other shitcoins that also claim "Still processing transactions. Still being used in real commerce. No reports of monetary loss" but that doesn't make them any better than Bitcoin TM. (Not being any better than Bitcoin) != ("literally shit the bed") |

The cost per hour for wiping out bCash is just $9,130. That doesn’t include block rewards which can reduce the attack cost by up to 80%.  So what are you waiting for? Balls? |

3 blocks away from BCH halving!
214 blocks in the new epoch and all is well. I hope you realize how funny that is, right? Almost shit myself. I don't know what you think is so funny. It is quite common to refer to the interval between significant events (e.g. such as halvenings) as epochs. Indeed, it has been routinely used to refer to Bitcoin halvening intervals since before the first halvening. |

USD is basically a stock share of USA,
Umm... no. Stocks don't get diluted on a whim without a vote affirming the idea from the shareholders. These currencies get their power from their manufacturing power. They are backed by real companies and work power.
Umm... no again. With the USA as a normative example, the companies domiciled therein are not organs of the government, which in turn is (kinda*) the entity that controls the currency. *Actually, the fed is a private corporation but it is pretty well bound up in the government. |

Today's bit of levity: Venezuela's navy sends a patrol boat -- "...armed with a 76mm naval gun, a German-built anti-aircraft system that sprays a cloud of tungsten bullets and a pair of deck-mounted machine guns, among other weaponry..." -- to ram and sink a cruise ship, but it is the Venezuelan navy which ends up in the drink. Perhaps Elwar can take some displaced solace in this. https://www.economist.com/the-americas/2020/04/11/venezuelas-navy-battles-a-cruise-ship-and-losesApologies if this is a repost. |
