You know who Phinnaeus Gage is.

...If u seriously planned which Maybach model u would buy for 20 BTC in a couple of years.

Storms are always over exaggerated. What's a little rain?

you helped your friends to get involved in bitcoin and set up their mining machines.

Don't you have to go to Lowes and buy some plywood and batteries? And bubble wrap to protect that precious coffee table of yours?



And another one:

You look out for your fellow Bitcoiner.

Fuuuuuuu..... I know every single one of those things. I think I've been spending way too much time on here  

Buying and selling barn wood around the Chicagoland area is a full time job. The time I spend on here is when I'm on the shitter for an extended period of time or in the office between orchestrating deliveries and shipments. And at night prior to going to bed, like now.

Another one(s) for the list:

You've memorized all of Atlas's alts.

You paid for a year's subscription to Bitcoin Magazine.

You get a NSFW tattoo.

You've never read the do-not-trust-anybody thread.


Same here. I hope it's still somewhere between 9 and 12, but it doesn't matter like it used to.

I stopped following the bitcoin exchange rate actively after a while, I think it doesn't matter that much. However I still check everything bitcoin related all the time

You read all this thread.

All of these apply to me except #3. Nice job!

Edit: I take that back. A few probably do.

You know who Bruce Wagner is.

You memorized the Genesis Block address.

You have butterflies in your belfry and bats in your lab.

The color orange no longer bothers you.

Unremorsefully is part of your vocabulary.

You viewed the After Christmas Christmas Special--TWICE!

You have the image saved on your computer of Rassah's coffee table.

You know who Pinkie Pie was.

You've been banned two times or more for posting off-topic.

You try to bribe theymos to end a ban.

You create an alt who's a bitch, crying like a baby during your ban as a way to interact with your friends.  

You know the two words that follow: From the Desk of ...

You hate and love Mt Gox at the same time.

You've seen Genjix in a dress in RL.

You believe that Zhou Tong is real.

You got Zhou-Tonged http://youtu.be/kdvTkddp1F0

the window is open and its snowing outside

You simultaneously suffer a heatstroke, frostbite, and asphyxiation while cooling your rigs by dumping liquid nitrogen across your floor. 

Instead of buying a new car, you buy bitcoins and/or mining equipment.

Help me build up this list...
