A letter to the community from Matthew N. Wright

Matthew,

This ^^

Isn't there something strangely ironic about supporting the pedo allegation by upping the post you upvoted, while signing your post with an ad for SexyBitcoinAds where you are advertising for girls to apply to be objectified?

Just wondering, that's all.

Matthew,

I'd like to think of myself as an excellent judge of character, what with my background in social work/psychology and my experience as a counselor and therapist.  I also meticulously scrutinize the language that people use when they communicate as it is a direct reflection of their state of mind -- after all, people think with language, and if they don't make sense out loud or in print, chances are that they are similarly confused in their heads.

That being said, you DO stand out from everybody.  You have something special, and what's even more refreshing is that you know you have something special.  In my honest opinion (I hope everybody reads this, although I doubt any but a few will care) you are easily one of the most intelligent and thoughtful people in the Bitcoin community, and everybody could learn a thing or two from you. 

You WILL be successful.  Just be yourself, regardless of what persona you need to don to fulfill whatever responsibilities you currently have.  You are remorselessly you.  Few people truly realize that this and this alone is the key to success.

I sincerely wish you the best of luck...

...you can finish wiping your tears ass now.  Seriously, stop that.

Fixed for you!

When I first saw this image the other day, I didn't get its implications, for I thought the guy was a comedian like Will Ferrell or somebody else. It wasn't until I read the word pedo in the quoted text above that made me recall who he is. I remember seeing the episode of that one dude that got caught a second time. I also remember a preacher and a magazine publisher--yes, a magazine publisher once got to lay down in the grass on one episode.

Ok, I'm dazed and confused now. I shall exit stage left, if that is right.

You might be a pedophile if...You digitally manipulate those below the age of consent.


I believe you are in need of some Dao De Jing Matt:

Chapter 63

Do things noncoercively (wuwei),
Be non-interfering in going about your business (wushi),
And savor the flavor in the unadulterated in what you eat.

Treat the small as great and the few as many.

Requite enmity with character (de).

Take account of the difficult while it is still easy,
and deal with the large while it is still tiny.
The most difficult things in life originate with the easy,
And the largest issues originate with the tiny.

Thus it is because the sages never try to do great things
That they are indeed able to be great.

One who makes promises lightly is sure to have little credibility;
One who finds everything easy is certain to have lots of difficulties.

Thus, it is because even the sages pay careful attention to such things
That they are always free of difficulties.

Wait... You psycho-analyze the written word?

So 'they' are out there. The colour of phrases help to determine everything. How do you determine if the words have been edited, corrected, etc...?  2$ for your thoughts.

I tend to do so as well, although not actively. Obviously you can't determine whether something has been changed unless you see the change happen, but I tend to build a profile and a mental picture of persons based on their posts.

[Phinnaeus Gage]

Please read this entire thread to the bottom. You will be pleasantly surprised.

Ever since I've first read those words, I felt something wasn't right.

And why did he stop posting on post number 4111?

[stochastic]

17 is underage in the US? The US sucks.

Depends on the state. In some places, sex between 16y/o & 18 y/o is fine, most states 15y/o with 15y/o is statutory rape. Sometimes, 17y/o with 65y/o is fine so long as it isn't recorded. I'm not up-to-date on the laws though, so maybe some of those examples are no longer true.

A lot of the states changed this to 18 even with a parents permission after the fear of polygamy in a few of the Western and Southern states.

a minimum suitable age for your partner is half your age plus seven years

I find it hilarious that the United Kingdom has an equation for the etiquette on robbing the cradle.

LOL...

I remember this where he is trying to justify why the bitcoin magazine #1 was taking so damn long.

FAIL. haha

Ahaha I was looking for this! Came to fruition I have another post where him and I battle that he'll be and other "hero" members would get a scammer tag or prison sentences soon ahaha need to find it!

[Fluttershy]

trying to convince anyone who will listen that teaching a 17 year old model about bitcoin somehow means I am a pedophile

Is it normal that you as a teacher, film underage students in their underwear and publish this online ?

Since there seems to be a few recurring misconceptions floating around, I'll try to shed some more light on them if I can:

• I believe the video was recorded by an amateur photographer friend of hers.
• Cultural differences aside, the video is neither sexual nor pornographic in nature. I definitely appreciate the concerns of her well-being by the community and encourage more involvement with her career, but ultimately I fail to see any endangerment of any sort. I feel this is mostly a non-issue that has been inflated with FUD by those of certain religious affiliations as there is obviously no legal issue with the content in question in Korea or anywhere else to the best of my knowledge. For those who would consider a 17 year old girl wearing a shirt and panties on a 12 second video to be shocking, I fear a heart-attack is imminent upon learning of the following internationally publicized activity: Miley Cyrus's 9-year-old sister launching a lingerie line for kids.
• I can obviously contact her myself and advise her against doing videos of this nature in the future based on concerns raised by the community, but it is of course better if the community voices this opinion to her uploaded video page directly. I believe her parents are her acting managers at this moment so it is probably an issue best discussed with them until she is 18.
• I haven't worked in education since 2010. I only work in Bitcoin now and I've never been happier.  

You. Are. A. Pedophile.

[BR0KK]

I wold be carefull calling someone that .....

[LoupGaroux]

Wow. Didn't we already debate this particular line of trash thinking to death? Matthew may be a lot of things to a lot of different people, but I think is is reasonable to consider that particular slander to have been addressed in full, and dismissed.
