Stop engaging losers like him. Because that's what he is.

Well, he sure will be if he's not stacking up on those coins.
I've advised folks to stop laboring away and going paragraph to paragraph w/ this guy, it's a dead end after all this time. He's dug in his heels so deep that he has to keep up the ostrich routine because his ego is too aged and set in stone. Ya can't teach this dog a new trick.

I agree, will try to behave.

More info on the Goldman Sachs story:

Quote
Circle Internet Financial, a bitcoin start-up led by Internet entrepreneur Jeremy Allaire, said it raised $50 million from investors including Goldman Sachs Group Inc., giving the virtual currency a jolt of credibility even as it struggles to gain consumer acceptance.

Circle said the new group of investors included a major Chinese investment firm, IDG Capital Partners, to help the Boston firm's expansion in that giant market.


“We could not be happier with our new strategic investors,” Allaire wrote in a blog post on the company's website. “They bring unique, powerful capabilities and capital that will help us continue building a new kind of global consumer finance company, one based on open platforms, open source software and ubiquitous mobile devices.”

This is gentlemen?

I'm slightly getting bored of ''this is gentlemen'' since it's been a bad omen the last year and a half. Going forward, I propose we start going for, "This is Aristocratic?"

Hey Jorge. You spend a LOT of time on various fora discussing BitCoin. Must be like a full time job almost.

How can you afford to do that, plus make a living?

My question would be more - Why bother?

I dedicate my time to things I enjoy & have belief in.



My point exactly.

So why DOES he dedicate so much time to something he doesn't believe in?

I spend about half of my life on pro-socialist forums like hitlerpraise.com and stalinforums.com talking about how ridiculous they all are and that their ideal of everyone making the same pay for different levels of work will never succeed. I do it for the children.
A lot can be said about the Soviet Union, but they were the ones who rid Europe of the fascists. You equating fascism with socialism is not just stupid, but insulting to the millions who died and the millions who lost a family member in the fight against fascism.

As for dinners, my dinner friends won't let me talk about bitcoin for more than 30 seconds each night.  And they are as surprised as you are that I be wasting so much time with this [ expletive deleted by self-censorship subroutine ].

I see. Your dinner friends understand Bitcoin. You should try to learn from them.

If you don't know yet, "bitcoin" is a negative word in the real world, do not talk about "bitcoin" in family/friends gathering, you will be isolated and treated as "online criminals and ponzi sellers" for this foolish behavior.

He gets status points which can be redeemed for dinner party and conference invites.

I am afraid that the only conferences that would host presentantions about bitcoin are those organized by bitcoiners, who would never invite a critic, much less a hard skeptic.

It is a very competitive world to get such valuable points.

Elwar, is your new forum gonna be up before your barge sails, or?

It is up:
http://www.bitpools.com/forum

I have been focused on improving the startup capabilities so I have not done much on the forum side of things other than cleaning up a few bugs here and there.

So why DOES he dedicate so much time to something he doesn't believe in?

I spent on bitcoin about as much time as I spent following the cold fusion saga, in the late 1980s, which I did not believe in either.  Why is that strange?  There are people who devote a lot more time studying scams and religions that they don't believe in.  There are people who know all Start Trek episodes by heart, and of course they don't believe in them either.

I myself spent a lot more time studying the Voynich manuscript. Unlike many of my voynichologist colleagues, I do not think that it contains anything important (but i am convinced that it is not random text, either).

Why is that strange? I guess because I lead a very busy life. I run a business (nothing to do with crypto).

I'm lucky to have 1-2 hours a day (including weekends) to devote to frivolous endeavours. I guess I'm just surprised that you, with your position and credentials, have so much time to devote to BitCoin.

Sounds like you need a better hobby.
