But here he is not in control of the money. At most he is in control of an idea. If you don't like the idea, don't support it. Those who do will (for the record, I don't). It's as if your dislike for him is so extreme, you don't even think about it any more, and just reach the same exact conclusions every time on autopilot.

I have an idea! I'm going to make a portable card-reader for bitcoin. You should send this collection service bitcoins for this idea, and they'll forward it along to the idea-creator. Don't worry, it's all going to the idea.

I find myself curious about the vague meaning in this.

Um, excuse me? all OTHER instances aside, here, all he did was set something up on ANOTHER service, THAT SERVICE is collecting money only from those who believe it's a good cause, and that service gives money to OTHER people. I don't see "Atlas" begging for, or receiving, any money. As certain someone would say, "check your premises" Grin

He's soliciting for money to be sent to a "project" under his control. For the tenth or so time.

He gets involved in a lot of projects. That's a good thing. In general the things for which he requests donations are worthy and relevant to people. I don't see the problem.

Oh hey ANOTHER thread where Atlas is begging for money.

Why did you not post this under one of your many existing aliases, Atlas?

I am willing to bet all I have that Atlas wouldn't stand under any amount of money to compromise his moral preferences. He doesn't even claim to stand under any major law nor code but only his individual choice to prefer life. To me that is a man of true integrity. He respects people out of the inherit value they bring him which goes far deeper than intrinsic materials such as money.

He is not forced to act the way he is under insipid desires, a god or law: He chooses to love life.

Why are you referring to yourself in the third person? Is it because you want it to sound like someone else is complimenting you?

Pretentious wanker or batshit crazy - they're the only types of people who talk about themselves in the third person.

My only concern with this is that I suspect anyone with a twitter account who knows about bitcoin has likely already informed their followers to the point that they are sick of hearing about it.

I've found myself wandering aimlessly muttering "bitcoin...bitcoin...bitcoin..."

I think one day the operators of this site will realize that letting you have a dozen different accounts is probably undermining the perception of bitcoins to visitors.

Atlas may act under new identities but he has never done it out of fraudulent indent. If anything, I think it only gives a perception of choice. It reminds us that Bitcoin is of good and healthy esteem that doesn't rely on conformity.

You're just waiting for a big enough reason to cash in your "moral code". I doubt it would even take 100 bitcoins for you to vanish with the money. $300 is a lot for a kid in highschool.

Atlas has never begged for money, last I checked. I haven't seen him under his original name for awhile now. I wonder if he'll ever come back?

We don't need the illusion of a collective; Bitcoin acts over the choices of individuals. To people who hold this forum and Bitcoin as a whole responsible and damaged due to the choices and preferences of individuals would be a grave mistake. If anything, a loss for the individual who makes such a false judgement.

I encourage Atlas to remain himself and continue to act under his own preference. He has never harmed nor defrauded another man and certainly holds no power over the esteem of the forum and Bitcoin as a whole.
