Anybody who can understand English knows what he meant. Let's look at it again:


He uses the word "thought", as in "thought at the time." Don't know how you could possibly confuse this, but I'm sure you'll find a way.

Oh right, dem deep state voter conspiracy, totally forgot about that one.  Too bad they didn't have enough foresight to affect the states where the vote actually mattered and instead plowed extra votes into states that Hillary was already going to win. 

This statement doesn't reflect hindsight, it reflects having a feeling about something as it was happening:



Seeing as how most of us never promoted a Ponzi scheme on the forum, I highly doubt it.

I'm not going to look it up either, but the point remains, the polls were actually correct as they were measuring the popular vote and not the electoral vote. Hillary won by 2.87 million votes, or roughly 2.2% of the total vote, which is likely within the margin of error of the polls. Its arguable that the polls didn't include enough voters from states won by Trump, except for the one pollster I mentioned earlier.

None of this is nearly the same as collecting funds to be deposited into what apparently everybody knew was a Ponzi scheme, Og included.

Could it be that nobody complained afterward because everybody knew what they were getting themselves into at the beginning?

We really don't know the specifics because we don't know what was contained in Exhibit 3, other than the name "OgNasty" next to an amount of BTC on a spreadsheet. The number may have been 1,000, it may have been 2,600+ -- we don't know for sure. We also don't know if it reflected Og's personal investment or all the BTC collected from investors, or both.

Its true that all this is well in the past and doesn't really matter anymore from a legal standpoint, but it still demonstrates behavior that is pretty far from trustworthy. The fact that Og won't comment on what Shavers was talking about in his testimony only makes things worse.

In terms of the popular vote, the polls were mostly correct.

The only poll that consistently put Trump ahead of Clinton was run by the LA Times / USC -- I will be paying particularly close attention to their results this time around.

No you don't. You've never used this exchange before in your life. You've just been hired to spam this thread, which leads me to believe Coinsbit is probably a scam exchange. If it wasn't they wouldn't need to hire frauds like you to spam on their behalf.

When are you going to tell them you are no longer actually bumping their thread as advertised?

I dunno, anything could happen. I remember in 2016 I thought the 1.4x payout on Hillary Clinton was easy money all day long (this was on DirectBet, so maybe it was a slightly higher payout on other sites). Pretty happy I never actually put a bet in on that one.

I remember their 2 selections were Hillary Clinton and "Republican Candidate." They never bothered putting in "Donald Trump," because I guess he was too much of a wildcard.

In any case, the moral of the story is, anything can (and does) happen!

The first time I heard of mosprognoz was because of this thread, which I thought was very well done:

It appears he likes to take the initiative as far as doing "undercover" investigatory work is concerned, so unless if he's done something that's actually scammy, I'm not going to remove him from my trust list.

He gets a bit carried away sometimes and hopefully he'll be a bit more careful before leaving trust ratings going into the future.

I tend to look at net totals when considering including/excluding people from my trust list: are they doing more good than harm? If so, I would say they are a net positive for the forum, and worthy of inclusion. That's how I feel about him at the moment.

Nobody's perfect. Everybody makes mistakes.

It would appear that pirateat40 was mistaken in his testimony to the SEC then?



He submitted your name on a spreadsheet as evidence with a reimbursed amount and claimed it was the entire principle. Perhaps it was just your personal investment and not those participating in the "passthrough" -- either way, sounds like you didn't lose your funds. Unless he entered mistaken evidence. Did he?

I think I have about 0.4 

I created about 40 different assets, maybe more! Went through quite a few of them that way.

Nah, you can't blame Core. LN and Counterparty achieve different things. They have different goals and were never in competition with each other.

Counterparty has been on a continual decline since it started. Its a great idea and, besides Omni, the first of its kind. Its just cheaper and faster to create and move tokens on Ethereum. If anything I think Counterparty could have used some marketing help back in its heyday. Tokenization just never really caught on, despite all the hype. Look at most ETH tokens: dead, or dying. The real problem is there's just no substantial point behind tokenizing things.

Holy shit, 12 BTC down the drain! It didn't even come close.

Looks like the Rams are going to win this one, 28-9 with 11 mins to go in the 4th. 

My calls get a lot better toward the end of the season. Last year I called all 7 of the post season games, including the Super Bowl. Will probably plunk some BTC down on a game next week.

My fantasy team crushed it this week and my QB still has yet to play.

Wow, pretty good that you have both Brees and Brady. Was it like that all season for you? The only change I would make is switching Kelce for Henry. NE defense could potentially stop some yards for you there. I've had Henry as my starting TE for most of the season and he's paid off more often than not.

I'll close the poll early, we're up to a record 10 votes. Sticking with my guns and the Rams for this one.

I should really try to find a place to watch the game tomorrow morning but I'm pretty far removed from anything American-like at the moment. Things I miss the most about home:

- good cheese and fresh milk
- Taco Bell
- my Xbox
- watching NFL games whenever I damn well choose

You'd ask: can't you just livestream games and/or buy the NFL premium digital package (or whatever)?

A: NO! Every bit of internet data is metered here and I pay about $1 a GB. When I do have a data signal, which is about 50% of the time, its seldom strong enough to livestream something. YouTube videos can be a pain to load, and Netflix is out of the question. I had a NFL radio app on my phone so I could listen to games that way, but its just not really the same as watching them... Its like 40% of the experience.

Happy Sunday, y'all. A little something for everybody.

Hard to believe someone with all that is doing _this_ with their time. You sound incredibly unhappy... 

You wish he bundles four armed thugs into a panel van?

Then what? Road trip?

You're wrong about that. Its not off-topic to discuss how this thread is a bunch of unfounded nonsense, as is your premonition. You've accused a bunch of members of doing things they've never done, and I'm taking a stand against it, pointing out how you've been make consistently false claims for years. Not one flag of yours listed here was supported by a single other individual on this forum, and I'm suggesting that you perform a bit of introspection as to why that might be the case.

If you don't like criticism then open a self-modded thread next time.

 

OK fine, keep refusing to learn a single thing. Obviously you're not interested in solving the root of your problems. BTW congrats on making it to DT1.



You've truly achieved what you deserve.

Its not that you simply made a mistake. You've made dozens, if not hundreds, of mistakes in your career as a forum... whatever... and you seemingly give zero fucks each time. Your refusal to learn from your past mistakes is what really separates you from most normal people and its also why nobody has any sympathy or respect for you.

If you perhaps showed the slightest bit of interest in being less reckless in your ratings going into the future, perhaps things would change, but you've got a lot of undoing ahead of you.
