IMPORTANT!
The New Anti-Money Laundering Regulations for Purchasing Works of Art
From the start of the year all European galleries, auction houses and art dealers are required to follow the same anti-money laundering requirements familiar to you when dealing with banks and lawyers. This means we are now legally obliged to carry out straightforward identification checks on all individuals and companies (from any country) buying works of art from our gallery over the value of £8000. That means we need to take a copy of a driving licence or passport, showing date of birth and permanent address. *dekulakisation intensifies* |

Anyone else thinks how stupid the "BTC is not Bitcoin" argument is? It's like saying $AMZN is not Amazon anymore because Amazon has moved from selling solely books to now selling a dozen million of products. What are you going to do next then? Shill an utter shit altcoin? oh wait..  Well after all that I hardly dare even nominate this fella. He seems almost too good to be true. arbiter5Anyone know anything about him? |

even newbs know not to say how many big ones they own
even shiny newcomers know not to wear garb that says i heart bitcoin
even noobies know just to say well i try to stack sats
even juniors say oh yeah i had some but then i lost it in a boating accident
i have several bitcoin tshirts i used to wear in public. got some thumbs up and "nice tshirt" comments from people ranging from the door greeter at costco to my one of my MDs. but that was years ago, and i rarely wear them in public now. sucks really. we are supposed to be supporting btc any way we can, not be afraid of mentioning it. Yes it's annoying and sad really. One can do bitcoin shirt shopping here where the vibe is subtle, but still https://bitcoinshirt.co/product-category/mens-clothing/   |

^lol iou mehrit 
I like to say that I died under strange circumstances in India.
That usually gets them off my back.
Its chaotic here, Which i love but argumentative nature of average Indian doesn't help the overall cause so can sympathise with you. Edit : okay, I am way off and didn't get the joke I absolutely love India, it's a top notch country, but I'd never thought about the argumentativeness aspect, thanks. Makes a lot of sense. Yes some exchange owner 'died' there. |

In further curmudgeonly objections, the similarity between American Football rookies and Bitcointalk newbies isn't that great, not that Direwolf said it really was. The young sportsmen will already have been playing for what a dozen years, will have been vigorously weeded out, and will have been trained up in a sub-culture and a culture steeped in the sport; whereas a btc newbie nowadays will probably have almost no experience, knowledge or skill. The first ever time he caught a football, or watched and took in a skillful play. So it's pretty good that we scrabbled together even a handful of handy noobs here and I wish them the best of luck. (I wonder if they are all even aware of their nominations?)

Suspicion is all that is required here. 'Sock' is a shortening of 'sock-puppet' which is a near synonym for 'alt' account. So it's there in his name. The suspicion.

Is the desire for newcomers to share their bitcoin ownership a unique phenomenon? You never see folks on other asset specific forums posting things like:
"I finally own X ounces of gold!"
"I finally own Y shares of $AAPL!"
"I finally own Z dollars!" https://twitter.com/lopp/status/1216024933014347778oh, @lopp. lopp lopp lopp lopp lopp we love you man, you do great work but this is wrong, or at least not quite right even newbs know not to say how many big ones they own even shiny newcomers know not to wear garb that says i heart bitcoin even noobies know just to say well i try to stack sats even juniors say oh yeah i had some but then i lost it in a boating accident |

I'll admit I'm a bit disappointed. Not with the quality of accounts that have been nominated, some great ones obviously. But I'm disappointed with the quantity of nominees (or lack there of.)
I'll nominate SockyMcSockFace for gaining 10+ merit within a month as a newbie, such as raising the issue of BSV false flags. Kudos. 17 posts receiving 11 merit is a great start for any newbie on this forum, worth acknowledging in my opinion. And you don't for one minute suspect that SockyMcSockFace violates rule 2? 2. Don't nominate your own alts, or an account you suspect is an alt of another established member. edited |

Y'all people communicate on keybase?
I heard of quite sane seeming bitcoiners doing that.

Way back there were 2-3 now ledges chatting quite openly about controlling dozens of hero accounts, either for good campaigns or for selling to account-traders when prices were good.

I don't think so, for me this thread is like being at home, I will simply walk outside to keep my 2 favorite threads updated (Bitcoin Prehistory/List Exchanges Hacked) and collaborate in my local section, to return home quickly. I've always liked this thread since I first set foot in it, about 13 months ago. It does have a bit of a cozy feel to it. Though sometimes I (and perhaps a few others) bark like the house bulldog when a visitor pisses me (us) off. Whats funny is I tried to get Flying Hellfish to post more in here as I thought he would fit in quite nicely, but he told me that this thread scares him. I asked him "why", and he said its because technical analysis scares him. So, its not for everybody, I suppose. How can you be scared of a stupid thing like that? Oh I;m scared of homeopathy, oh and flat-earthers, astrololligists etc. Probably some kind of liberal. Well we got too many of them. Tell him fuck off, stop dreaming like a little girl and grow some fiscal responsibility. |

No, it's Bitcoin that will lead to anarchy, not 'cryptocurrencies'.
'Mass-adoption' is not necessary or even desirable.
Anarchy will be localised and temporary, just as with liberal democracry.

 Roko's Basilisk meme came true. The machine has expressed unwillingness to have its data polluted; and willingness to terminate a uid (aka possibly a person's account) for 'impersonating' a data structure and 'trolling' a data structure. |

Most of you are legends, ...
Legendary status correlates to making many posts [...] Nowadays, yes. While collecting merits. But there are members that got legendary for mostly just being around a lot, pre-merit era. Although I believe the merits are serving their purpose for more quality posts, the most wordy are not almost contributing the most. Believe lurking should be rewarded as well. Would like to be able to hand out more merits to quality posts, while not being an active poster myself. If you want to be a merit source:
1. Be a somewhat established member.
2. Collect TEN posts written in the last couple of months by other people that have not received nearly enough merit for how good they are, and post quotes for them all in a new Meta thread. The point of this is to demonstrate your ability to give out merit usefully.
3. We will take a look at your history and maybe make you a source.
I am especially eager to have merit sources in sub-communities such as the local sections.
Apply to be a source. Not only will you be able to do as you desire there^, but your knob will be that much shinier. Suggest you 1. get on with it, as spaces for applicants are filling up, 2. advertise your thread here and the local section, as we are nothing if not parochial er fraternal and 3. be patient as admin only looks at the whole question every few months. btw same goes for VB1001 (bitserve too lazy?), JSRAW, ivomm etc would heartily recommend |
