Day 1 -

(Ponders)

Should I pay 50 BTC to go to an elitist meetup halfway across the world?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=174620.msg1962101#msg1962101

OR

Should I pay 2 BTC and travel 1/10th the distance and meet with many of the bitcoin core developers and bitcoin business owners?

I think the answer is obvious.

I do not understand that meeting in Finland.

I think I do not understand it because I didn't read  the full post about it.

But I am ignorant and do not want to be an early adopter in something I have to pay.

[smoothie]

Based upon what reptilia has been saying it is TOP SECRET. But given his public diary accounting I'm not sure there will be anything of substance gained from the meeting other than...

"We are the wealthy bitcoin elite. How should we proceed to make our stashes of bitcoins even bigger and stomp on all the bitcoin peasants?"

 

[wobber]

And something for the big guys with big money and many 000 of BTC:

"You paid milions for bitcoins in your wallet. We generated them with old computers. Go and whine."

The wealthy elite thing made my keyboard sick.

 Reasons for Elitism

There are multiple reasons someone may think themselves less pathetic than the rest of the human race. This is usually due to the following reasons:

    They are thinner than you
    They have larger breasts than you
    They are dragons
    They hate fags more than you
    They are more conservative than you
    They are more liberal than you
    They are gayer than you
    They eat moar placentas than you
    They have more artistic talent than you
    They have more pageviews on deviantart than you
    They know of things you've probably never even heard of before
    They are more straight edge than you
    They are moar special than you
    They are more batshit insane than you (see Insanity Wolf)
    They believe in God less than you
    They believe in God more than you
    They belong to an oppressed fandom that is not a choice
    They drink more blood than you
    They value The Truth more than being liked
    They are cooler than you
    They have an older religion than you
    They know that nobody's perfect and they've got to work it again and again until they get it right
    They know that the above reason is complete faggotry, and you don't.
    They have more venereal diseases than you
    They use more transitions and special effects than you.
    They have more "friends" at Facebook than you do.

Add to that list "they have more bitcoins than you".

0 generated. 0 bought because of the joy of tech innovation. I admire more one that buys 1 BTC because want's to play with it, explore, than a speculator with thousands.

repost sorry:

Here is the thing, I could easily afford 50BTC to go to this conference or meetup or secret meeting, but I don't wish to because of the following reasons:

1. I'm not better than anyone and any meeting in which the tone is set for that by limiting entrants and making only for the "wealthy" is an elitist form of mockery of the poor.

2. Having a public agenda for a bitcoin meeting or conference makes sense. Then people can decide if the topics to be discussed or events/activities are suitable for their interests/needs/wants. Going blindly is stupid.

3. Based on reptilia's recent actions with his 13 BTC does not give me any more confidence that his running a meetup or conference might not net more fails.

4. 50 BTC is more productive being given to businesses for products or development, not fancy hotel accommodations.

Hey smoothie

Let's make our own movement with people that own 1 to 10000 BTC.

And what incident with 13 BTC?

He sent 13 BTC to nkspace to prove he had bitcoins (moreso that he had TONS of them)...just to have nkspace run off with his bitcoins.

It was a classic fail on this forum.

Haha wow, I had a similar discussion with him but I kind of 'lost it' when he didn't know how to sign a message with his wallet.

By the way you are definitely the Devil in disguise with your 6666 post count!

LOL  thanks for the feedback.

@Ares,

I choose meeting people than a building with grass. 

On a more serious note, both seem to be healthy for bitcoin. Not sure why you have it out for rpietila so bad.

I don't have it out for reptilia. Just speaking my mind.

If you ask me, It's a cargo cult. More specifically it real action roleplaying as the monopoly man.
