As a Chinese, I'm willing to remind you that learning Chinese is not that rewarding as learning IndoEuropean languages.
Agreed. It takes 5 years to bother speaking Chinese fluently and 10 to learn Hanji. So Spanish will be the most "useful" language to learn.
Seconded. Out of all the languages Theymos mentioned, I think Spanish is the most useful and rewarding. Learning ANY second language makes it easier to learn ANY third language. It wires up the brain for multiple languages. So don't worry about that.
At least when that language is in the same family of course. Learning Korean doesn't help me learn Vietnamese any easier at all. Learning English though sure does help me learn Spanish! If you're in the US, Spanish, absolutely. You'll get to use it all the time.
Agreed. Languages are learned to use. Spanish is actually useful, although not very exotic in the USA. Too bad Korean is not on your list. Whatever you do, stick to it.
Couldn't have said it better myself. I have never studied Korean once, but I'm fluent in reading, writing, speaking and listening, only because I stopped using English when I got here and wrapped my life around the process of using it continuously. The result? My English got worse every day, proving that continued usage is key. |

Atlas + blue lights + some form of drug =  It's Atlas in his reptile tank that his parents put him in. He is sucking on a candy bar and the smoke emanating from his mouth comes from all the steaming bullshit that he stores up inside of him. |

Atlas, I need to ask you a qualifying question which will guide the conversation in a more productive manner. When you first came to the forums, you used the handled "Atlas". You were a suicidal teenager who spent his time moping about on the forums, writing blogs about how you would be big and successful in business and begging people to invest money in your ideas. One idea you had which had no technical work to back it up whatsoever, was the Woolong Device (a name you ripped off from Cowboy beebop). You unironically made everyone sign a pseudo-NDA before finding out the "secret", which wasn't a secret at all-- the woolong device was just a USB stick with bitcoin on it that you thought was worth millions and that every retail store in the world would be thrilled to buy from you. You claimed to have a big investor (who was your younger cousin) and then went on a spergy spree where when SomethingAwful goons questioned you about your scamming and lying in the community (remember how you tried to lie to everyone that your school team was a certain ranking and it didn't even come close to that?) in order to get people to give you money, you jumped on those forums and started revealing personal information about yourself like how you were having sex with a public school teacher broke up with you because it would ruin her career if anyone found out about it, or that you enjoy hurting prostitutes while having sex with them, and that you believed that if a girl was having sex with you, the reason she orgasmed was "out of admiration" of your greatness. You also tried to back down of every single bet you lost, tried to back out of giving a gift you gave, and then tried to back out of contracts you made with people for certain services, all because you didn't agree with the rules that you yourself put forth. This was all pretty hard for the community to swallow, and as a result of now knowing you had no chance of any kind of success in the community, you immediately asked Theymos to delete your account and you created a multitude of alternative accounts. They include: Alias Period
Atlas This was the original, the most over-the-top emo of all of them. We have heard all about your whiny
teenage years, failed projects, and lack of talents from this account. Actually, you've never succeeded
in anything you started. Nothing. It's uncanny to look at how much you talk here, how inflated your ego
and sense of self-importance and worth is, and then to look at how little you actually do. Forum members
can now see these posts as "Anonymous" (but thanks to quoting, we all know it was you).
Immanuel Go This was when you were trying to push off your failed Woolong device, which you actually believed
was somehow innovative and going to sell for "millions", even though you had no idea how to even
use bitcoind and basically were just going to buy card shaped USB sticks from some company.
Ragnar This is where you pretended to be a 50+ year old man who owned and rode horses. You were quickly
found out to be the liar and coward that you are and you jumped to another few aliases.
Harvey At this time you were so in love with yourself, you believed that if anyone questioned your intentions,
they deserved the worst! You also made numerous posts of your hatred towards the poor and how you wish
you could pick them off with a sniper rifle to make the world a better place. You were then banned by
Theymos and when you evaded the ban and he banned you again, you told him "How much do I have to pay
you to make you do your job right and let me back?", proving you are obsessed with money and power and
have no consideration for others. Theymos didn't appreciate the bribe attempt and permabanned you,
for which you soon evaded..
ALPHA. You were completely unoriginal, continuing to flail all over the place in your obsessions.
Boss This is about when you started getting back on your medication and decided to stop embarrassing
yourself, but couldn't help defending yourself because you believe you're always right, and quickly
found that more and more people were putting you on ignore. Your solution was of course to try once
more to change your name, but were tired of losing your post count that you think is so important and
actually think gives status and justed did it the lazy way.
Jon This is your current blowhard handle/persona in which you revert back to your retarded ALPHA. days
where every thread is a question, every answer is in the form of a question, and it's so pathetically
obvious that everything you have ever learned is from some psychotic youtubers who hate the government,
and you need other people to share their opinions so that you have something to digest. It is under this
handle that you have let the full sociopath shine through and displayed traits of a future mass murderer.
Now the community has proven time and time again that you are dishonest, derive pleasure from screwing other people over, and have absolutely no talents. Your defense to all inquiries into your mistakes are met with clicking "Report to moderator", and you have also proven that your handicapped state does not allow for admission to your previous fake identities. I don't know just how deeply you are handicapped, but I do know it's got to be in the very least a good example of when medication can be a good thing for people. That said, I don't judge you. I welcome you to our mixed community here. I do expect people to be honest though, and as I have repeatedly asked this question and you have repeatedly attempted to dodge it, I need you to ask it before I will allow you to post any more mental masturbation spam. Why do you deny having posted on these forums as Atlas, Immanuel Go, ALPHA., Boss and Jon? Are you that embarrassed and suicidal that you cannot acknowledge your own mistakes? I think the community deserves the right to know the answer to this question before we respond to any more of your self important, uneducated and inexperienced drivel. Also, what's it like living with yourself as a total coward who can only exist in his own mind if he lies about himself to even himself?

Money is not debt, it is some kind of religion  Although it does not hold any value, but when everyone believe in the value behind it, it gets everyone's trust, and to keep this trust, there are central bankers control the money supply, acting as gods in this religion  Unless the money is also a commodity. |

Perception is the reality.
I agree, but to make sure I'm agreeing with I think you're saying... Perception is the reality? Perceived objects are the reality? The system containing the perceiver, the act of perceiving, and the objects perceived are the reality? What are your thoughts about being fully aware of nothing to perceive? I simply took it as "reality is how we interpret it" in which case I give +1 I lol'ed hard. |

I really don't see what the confusion is. I enjoy speculating on things as much as the next guy, but as a programmer I can say that it sounds more like the botminer creator got lazy and/or efficient and just made it as low scale as possible and is using it for profit.
I think it's hilarious how all the Bitcoin addicts who spend their entire day constantly promoting bitcoin suddenly abandon it once someone is abusing it for profit.
Did you people forget it's profitable to mine for Bitcoins, even with a botnet?

Love is a longing for, no?
No, that's obsession, lust, loneliness, etc. Are you not supposed to feel lonely if gone without a person you love for some time? Let's talk about this in a different, non-Atlas thread so actual critical discussions can be had. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=74192 |

No. Now shut up. Only argument so far worth repeating: Love is a longing for, no?
No, that's obsession, lust, loneliness, etc. Are you not supposed to feel lonely if gone without a person you love for some time? Loneliness and love are not the same. Only your ego makes you feel lonely when a person you love is gone for some time. With no ego involved (the ego can be systematically dismantled, just as it has been systematically constructed throughout the course of your life), there is no requirement to feel lonely when a person you love is gone for a long time. |

Hmm, I'm worried that it might be some covert project to shutdown Bitcoin. Basically "they" (US govt, some useful shell-company, whatever) build a dominant position, then use their play-money to create endless havoc in the markets. Heck, the US government obliterated Iraq to stop Saddam from trading oil in Euros. Then they got rid of Khaddafi to stop that guy from trading oil with a gold-backed African currency. They would rather blow up the world than allow a non-petrodollar, non-fractional reserve currency to become relevant.
That's some pretty good trolling right there. You sound almost exactly like some of the other fucking retards on this forum. |
