They make the same points I made in this thread. Why? Because we are all expert programmers and understand the myriad of (often interlocking and conflicting) details that eye doctors and junior programmers don't.

Btw those linked points by core devs make  the case for the need for a scalable design for crypto-currency.

Vokain if you want feel free to come talk with me in Bitmessage so perhaps money won't be an issue for you soon. Is New Orleans helping you with your grief?

Btw I hope readers know that Vokain gave away 10s of BTC to me (via rpietila) to distribute to typhoon victims in the Philippines in 2013. I still have the receipts and several photos of new roofs funded were posted in rpietila's thread.

This is a very young man doing that level of charity.

But eye doctors are not more expert at software marketing than proven software marketers.

And eye doctors are not more expert at the study of money and economic history than experts who have invested $1 billion in a database and managed $3 trillion in sovereign funds.

And WTF has he added of substance? A lot of "all for one, one for all" mind control noise causing newbies to buy Bitcoin at $600 while he was profiting off them with slimy back dealing?

Etc..

Why am I wasting my time here on this charlatan  

I understand economics and money much more thoroughly than you ever will. You ignore experts such as Armstrong who has been studying money since he was a teenager. Largest hedge fund manager in history managing $3 trillion for the Japanese. Cripes man the audacity you have.

Just keeping digging your hole man. Mea culpa isn't in your vocabulary.

Hot shot doctor from California. You've always been the super star. The fall will be hard on you. I have already been at the bottom. I love the bottom. No problem for me.

And you really care about Africans 

Fact: promoted hardware that never shipped and a company that went bankrupt while pocketing 3000 BTC.

Speculation: ostensibly from the pockets of forum members who made deposits.

Fact: you have pitched yourself as one who got wealthy buying BTC low and early, but you never disclosed what % of your ROI was not due to investment but rather profiting off your reputation here.

You can talk about why we should trust your judgement?

P.S. I tried to warn you to stop digging your hole but you just couldn't stop. If you had stopped, I would have never learned about this. Vokain never mentioned this to me.

His profile is closed and he can post any more.

Amazing all the time wasted on political dick measuring. Can we just go to the boxing ring and make the process more efficient?

Cypherdoc employed his fraudulent reputation to pressure me to reveal my and even the audacity to try to pressure me to confirm my True Name.

Typical of politicians, oligarchs, and cartels, he forces his competitors to trial by public fire while hiding his dirty laundry behind the protection of his power over the group.

His entire modus operandi is the typical mind control pump promoter snake oil salesman paradigm of a politician or silver bug stock promoter leeching off his own readers.

He doesn't like Armstrong, because he doesn't like the competition for the control over your minds.

Cyperdoc will never write a single line of code to help us. He is not a worker. He is leeching off of us who will actually do the work in the trenches.

As I suspected, upthread you are criticizing Gregory Maxwell for receiving hardware donations and using those to mine (ostensibly a somewhat tax deferred paradigm to receive a larger renumeration for his development efforts which we have benefited from), and the skeleton lurking in your closet is you've been into hoodwinking Bitcoin ASIC miners and the forum members simultaneously to the amount of 3000 BTC!

Then you have the audacity to accuse me of leeching $10,000 off of the members of your thread as if you own them, boasting that you made this thread so popular.

I am a very astute read of personality. I said you are controlling minds and now the vested interest is clear.

You are a snake oil salesman ripping off the community.

These forums are rife with hidden corruption. Readers beware. Not all is what meets the eye. Usually the accuser is the one who is doing what he accuses others of doing. (this is a common human characteristic)

I suspect doctors are prone to these forms of "soft fraud". They go to medical school because they want to be rich and use the corruption of the State and professional licensing cabal to capture higher rents on society. Thus of course they have strong vested interest to believe that society and the State won't collapse. The double-speak.

What is happening to you now is potentially only the tip of the iceberg of the crumbling of your life coming...if you don't mea culpa to yourself about your slimy ethics...

Btw, I graduated from Culver City High School in 1983 and lived in Camarillo and Thousand Oaks, California when I wrote Word Up in 1986. And I made frequent trips up to UC Santa Barbara around that time. I was accepted and invited by the Dean of the Engineering department to enroll but declined to attend my father's alma mater in the deep south.

Any time you'd like to test out that black belt against an autodidact boxer with vision in one eye, let's give it a whirl in the ring wif I am in town? May I come on over? For sport of course, but just take a look at Antonio Margarito's face after the Pacquio fight to note this sport has consequences.

Btw, I had 100% retinal detachment in my right on Dec. 1 1999. I paid cash for the best surgeon in the USA to save my eye. The pressure dropped to 1 after the 3rd surgery and he was ready to remove the eye. He wanted to attempt one more surgery as a last ditch attempt, and I told him to stop everything. I threw out the bottle of steroid drops and went to the gym nonstop for the next days and weeks. Next doctor visit my eye pressure had increased to 4 and he was amazed (he had never seen that recovery in his practice). Then 7, Then 11. Now 14 years later I still have the eye. Hoping for innovation so I can get a cornea transplant (mine is horrible condition) and a new lens (mine fell out) and maybe even some repair of the interface between the patchwork quilt retina I have remaining and the optic nerve.

I accede this point to you, except that you can't seem to see you are doing the exactly the same bravado combined with mono-thought in a domain where you are not expert and are just a layman-come-lately armchair chatterbox.


HODLing from $1000 down to $150, soon to be < $100. While I was fightingdisagreeing with rpietila, smooth, and others on the prediction for $300 back at $600 the first time, then I predicted the bounce, then I predicted the fall back to $300, then I predicted the small bounce and fall to $150. I made all of those calls. Ask the people who know me and were following me in Bitmessage. As well, I made posts on the forum about most of those timing calls.


Better than that, I predicted the exact timing of the rise from $25 and price peak and fall 8 - 9 months before it occurred. Here is was that public prediction



Did you buy 1000oz bars and mint them into rounds at $9 in 2008 when there was a shortage of rounds in the USA. And resell them to increase your stash to 18,000 oz. I did.

Did you create a one man company in 1998 to create, market, and do customer support for Cool Page and Art-O-Matic, wherein Cool Page had 335,000 websites (verified by "link:coolpage.com" a former altavista feature) and > 1 million downloads by 2001? I did. (noting this was all before any of the social networks we have today, such as Friendster which launched in 2002). Did you contract the former programmer of Borland C for 1 week of work in 2001 paying $30,000 for his services ($100,000 in todays money) and then fixing an O(n) bug in 30 minutes that he couldn't find and fix after days of requesting the fix.

I had numerous major accomplishments and I don't need to enumerate all of them.


Were you rushed by ambulance (because I could only crawl) to the hospital in May 2012 with an exploded acute peptic ulcer that was leaking stomach acid into your abdominal cavity causing all the internal organs to fail, in excrutiating pain (that can't be described! and I can handle pain I played football games with broken bones!) and then after surviving what the doctors thought might be fatal, that destroying my digestive system causing my Multiple Sclerosis to go bezerk, such from that point on I was suffering severe inability to think with debilitating Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. What happening was because I am such a fighter and athlete my body when into adrenal overdrive such that I was constantly in state of panic feeling of "Fight or Flight" instinct. This caused me to feel desperation and lose $75,000 on an options bet following a promoter Graham Summers. So by the time Jan 2013 arrived, I had decided to disciple myself to make no major decisions until my illness could be cured.

Fuck if you use my performance while so incredibly ill as indicative of anything, then you are a fool.

I am coming cured now because I am smart enough to have figured out (with the help of listening and interacting with many others, something which your mono-thought myopia can't do) that the cure to Multiple Sclerosis is all about restoring the kilos of good gut bacteria.

And so now you have to deal with the real me. The one with those Herculian accomplishments in the past. And I know damn well my capabilities are in the exceptional class on the order of those core Bitcoin devs. My weakness coming in is I was not trained in cryptography and had to teach myself.


I did study A.I. formally. And thus I have enough understanding of what Armstrong has likely done, to know what he is capable of predicting. And his record since the 1980s shows that his extensive modeling (coupled with the largest database on earth, some $1 billion invested in collecting the data) can indeed predict the future with great accuracy. If you want to ignore the power of correlation and statistics when combined with A.I. pattern matching modeling, then you have a right to be humiliated.

I am confident because I understand the science involved.

And yet you try to tell experts in their domains that you know better than them. Is that wise? You loud mouthed fool.

Do I come into your eye clinic and boast that I know more about macular degeneration than you.


You are an autodidactic n00b that has grabbed onto a short-term signal and proclaimed that makes you an expert of extrapolation while lacking the sampling size to avoid aliasing error.

Two apropos terms:

confirmation bias
Dunning-Kruger

P.S. You have some capabilities for logic when you find an argument that matches your desired outcome. But you block out all logic that doesn't concur with your confirmation bias. And this is what causes you to be so foolish. Pride comes right before the fall, and n00bs who bought Bitcoin in 2012 are ripe for this overconfidence myopia. Whereas, I have actual domain experience that allows me to work through many details and form a big picture based on correlating a lot of data which you have even admitted that you chose to ignore.

P.S.S. YOU DISRESPECTFUL ASSHOLE. Don't you know that proper etiquette in Bitcointalk.org is not refer to people by their first name if they have chosen to use a pseudonym? Do I violate you that way here? What is your first and last name? What is your physical or website address (you have mine)?

Are you still 100% sure I won't produce an alt that will stand out and meet your criteria for buying an alt?

You type your full name and work address here too pinhead. And enough links so i can verify.

Duplicitous? You refuse to clarify if you will stick by your Bitcoin-only mantra under all circumstances?

You haven't studied history. You slander the man who has. This is why you are oblivious to what time it is.

What ever you studied that you thought was history was some sampling below the necessary Nyquist limit, i.e. you are suffering aliasing error.


I guess you haven't ready my 2010 - 2012 essays linked from the Economic Devastation thread wherein I refer to the fledgling GOLDEN KNOWLEDGE AGE.

You are preaching to the choir. I was on this wave back in 1986 when I created one of the world's first commercial WYSIWYG word processors. I was on this wave when I created a million user web page creation tool Cool Page in 1998.

Your myopia is that you don't understand the masses have moved from creating their own web pages, to all being lumped in on Facebook, Yahoo, Viber, etc..

You don't understand well the changes of the internet from End-to-end principle to the Fascist top-down system it is becoming.

You are going to get a lesson about ignoring experts soon... and that includes anyone that follows your ignorance about fields where you are not a domain expert.

 

Haha you are cruel. It reminds of the rats in the face mask in Silence of the Lambs.

An ophthalmologist slandering and arguing about software technology and marketing with a 33 years experience programmer (37 years since first read computer science books) who had million user commercial programs success when the internet was 10X smaller population. And ignoring and slandering the preeminent historian of our era who spent $10 million just on constructing an accurate silver chart of the Roman empire.

I am blind in one eye. Maybe we should talk about that and I should tell you how stupid you are about eyes? Geez.

Note doctors have a very strong vested interest in society not crumbling, because not many people are going to pay for their overpriced insurance driven services after the collapse. And Cypherdoc is going to have his savings expropriated from him due to his tunnel vision and ignoring experts.

Ambiguous reply. Please clarify whether "that" means "promise" or "buy an alt under any circumstances"?

Are you intentionally being ambiguous or just your usual failure with language and reading skills.

Can you promise to never buy an alt under any circumstances?

Note I haven't been able to read all 1300 pages of this thread. Is that all you do with your life?
