Assuming its full of funny anecdotes and not a serious attempt to maike the case for Bitcoin actually being a great idea

xxxp i got less than 10s into that before i had to abandon ship. it's too bad you can't back currency with smugness.

looollllll

kind of lol, mostly terrifying

xp lol at first i wrote "terrifying" in this post and changed it

Bitcoin, Bodysurfing, Biology

I want to cash this in, because hey why not, but I'm pretty certain my identity will then be sucked into a black hole and my soul will be trapped in my computer forever

on the plus side, awesome bikes and disc battles

i imagine you googling "bitcoin for beginners" and in like 48 hours ending up seasteading

GIS'ed "bitcoin for beginners", eventually found this:

(I have wanted to seastead since I was 8, though)

I think "100 bits" of bitcoin is about 4 cents.

it's like 50 haircuts and shaves
but only individual hairs

I still think the most likely candidate is Nick Szabo. This Wright guy seems like a hoaxer who most likely planted the (easily faked) evidence himself.

but who created dogecoin!!>!

Lol

ethereum and dash have tripled and sextupled their value since jan 1.

seems like buying a bit coin a few years ago might have been a good idea

i got really curious about investing in ethereum back in march but held off because, i don't know, it seemed like the kind of idiotic thing i'd regret doing later.

I mined some bitcoin in 2011 on bitcoinplus but it turned out to be a swindle and no one ever got their bitcoin - goes to show what happnes when a govt cannot back a currency

But if fun from the FT:

https://ftalphaville.ft.com/2017/05/22/2189145/how-to-value-bitcoin-with-a-traditional-valuation-measure/

Premise is he value of bitcoin should correlate with the global money laundering index published by the International Center for Asset Recovery. Conclusion 238% overvalued.

This shit is making it difficult to time drug-buying.

I think bitcoin should be seen as something like gold - a non-stable value precious metal - oh I wonder if Glen Beck will start on some bitcion shit now

lol the £0.01 coinbase gave me for signing up is now up to £1.50

feels good to be a titan of fx trading

now reinvest half of that

ANother thing that CHina is the world's factory for
