but rich ppl tend to be boring.

I find people who inherit wealth to be boring.

Self-made rich people are almost always intelligent, entertaining, hospitable and fun.

It's their spoiled offspring with their sense of entitlement who are boring and annoying.

I would have to agree with that.

Bitcoin may be risky, but compared to other attempts to restructure the world in a positive way, the risks are tiny.

like electricmucus suggested, trying to restructure the world in a positive way may damage your mental health.

Yes, bitcoiners vare very smart, losing money every day.
If you think bitcoiners are here for the technology and principles, you're dead wrong.
They are here in an pathetic attempt to make dollars.

I'm pretty sure I know more about my motives than you do. Bitcoin may be risky, but compared to other attempts to restructure the world in a positive way, the risks are tiny. I'm only risking my wealth, not my freedom. Not my life.

Some of them also have mental health issues.

hahah, such as the ones predicting 100k per btc? Yes that is insane.

And people need to stop reading forums for investment advice (at least this one). BTC is still a very risky "asset" no matter which way you slice it

one of the benefits of having cerebral ppl such as yourself around is that you know they can justify/rationalize about anything, really.

Here's the funny thing about hypocrisy: It's much easier to spot in others than it is to detect in one's self. That's a property of all error, actually.

i'll wear a colonial wig along with the others at the party but don't you dare point out how hypocritical it is.

I wouldn't do that. It's going to be a party, not Dinner for Schmucks.

You seem to think in binary terms.

Quote from: billyjoeallen

. . .people like me. . .

? That was in the context of talking to a person who either didn't recognize or didn't respond to a specific economic incentive. That's not binary. Some people may want to visit the Philippines to visit the Philippines to make a profit, others may want to visit regardless of profit and still others may not want to go there at all. Most, I imagine, would go if their individual profit threshold or vacation discount was reached whatever that may be.

but rich ppl tend to be boring.

Successful party hosts do not depend on the guests to make the party fun. The host provides the entertainment and if guests add to that, it's just a bonus. Besides bitcoiners aren't just rich. They're smart. The dumbest whales I know of are still Harvard grads who took Mark Zuckerberg for $50 million.

Poor people may find rich people boring, but smart people find dumb people even more boring.

what is this, 19th century england? the guests are what make a party. i've never went to a party to be entertained by a host. i go there to check out some music and socialize.

They had some awesome parties in 19th century England. Only my parties will have hostesses from the nearby university instead of servants. Part of the appeal is that there won't be guests like you there.

it would be such a travesty to have guests who actually contribute to the party instead of those who depend upon some host's agenda concerning how the party will unfold. at a party, all that matters is the here and now and everything else can stay at the door. including jobs, net worth, education, blah blah blah. and i've yet to see a college/university crowd contribute to a good party. when i was in college i stayed well away from those "parties."

You seem to think in binary terms. It's not all one way or the other. The best parties have an element of structure that is open to some variance. Charades with tea or hookers and blow orgies are equally poor outcomes.

Yeah, you're not invited.

The rpietila is strong in this one..

Risto would be an honored guest and any party with him in attendance would be more appealing to me.
