Just wanted to point this out before you go back to that. You've been so successful at ignoring me that you've literally replied to everything I've said now. Good job. 5 hours ago, Rassah said: Of course you don't give a shit about it. Or anything about what people you instantly assume are stupid tell you. That's why you're still broke and miserable. First of all, don't pretend to know anything about me because you don't. Secondly I never assumed you were stupid, you more than proved that you actually are very stupid. I'll be the first to admit I have problems like everyone else, but you're seriously like the last person who could ever help me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rassah Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 3 hours ago, Pignog said: Burn all banks to the fucking ground and bring them up on domestic terrorism charges, regardless of whether they have bitcoin. That's, um, actually what I'm working on. Bitcoin is a Trojan horse. The idea is that we will replace all banks and everything they do with apps that run entirely on your phone. You can't bring them up on any charges, because they legally own the regulatory agencies and politicians. Using bitcoin to defund then and make them obsolete is pretty much the only available option left. 5 hours ago, Naesaki said: Seems like every little sentence evokes this reaction from Rassah. http://i.imgur.com/gn5I2vZ.gif?noredirect It's actually this https://xkcd.com/386/ 5 hours ago, Naesaki said: Like why is this whole debate still even going on?

DrGravitas Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) Evil always finds a way... Bitcoin can replace banks, but it can't change people. As bad as existing banking structures and regulatory agencies are, they do promote order and have some positive aspects. I am unconvinced that replacing them with some Bitcoin-based scheme will ultimately make things any better. All it can do is alter the environment in which people operate. What evil deeds become easier and which become impossible in this shifted the landscape is the question. Can we say that it will be a greater shift towards good and how will it shift in terms of stability? Or with the balance between good actions and evil deeds remain the same while stability suffers? There is much more behind the power of individuals atop such structures than merely money. If it were so simple, I would expect a much more linear relationship between wealth accumulation and assert-able power. There are clearly other factors: influence over populations or key persons, intangible-assets and service capabilities (how many great trade deals has the US inked in exchange for military support or diplomatic realignment?) just to name a few. So the question becomes: which way does the influence flow? Does centralized banking and regulatory agencies enable accumulation of these other traits, or the reverse, or does one merely coincide with the other? I would suggest it is the latter-most. If so, then how much can Bitcoin really change? Edited December 16, 2015 by DrGravitas 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But some of these conference sessions are kinda boring 7 hours ago, 6tails said: Google has enough money to UTTERLY MURDER EVERYONE IN GOVERNMENT ACROSS THE PLANET. Google doesn't own an army or a monopoly on violence and law. They can't even get into China! Quote Try again when you actually understand the value of REAL money. Oh teach me this value of money, kemosabe! Quote Apparently you FAILED to read the word 'might' which is the QUALIFIER. You probably failed English like you failed economics. "Might" or "will" does not change the underlying fact that you think bitcoin the currency and bitcoin the blockchain are somehow two separate things. I'm just picking appart where you keep showing that you don't even understand what it is you're attempting to ridicule. And no, I got straight A's in economics. Like, what? Quote False equivalence, and blockchains, aka permission-less distributed databases, have existed for DECADES before bitcon or its likely creator EVER EXISTED. Like this for example. It's not a permissionless distributed database. This is probably why you are dismissing it. You seem to think that all it is is another database, maybe even with something fancy like hashed chain blocks or time stamps. But that's not what bitcoin is. What it is has never existed before it came. Lots of people were trying to create something like it and kept failing. Quote Actually, the only interest they have in Bitcon is the blockchain technology for the transactional purposes Transacting in it requires them to buy and use bitcoin to pay for any transaction entries. So even if they find no use in Bitcoin as a currency, they'll have to buy up a lot of bitcoin to buy access to blockchain's utility. Quote Don't know how dangerous hidden messages can be? Okay. Keep being ignorant, if you can't understand such a simple thing there's not a point in explaining it to you because I'd have to use words you probably can't understand. In other words, you don't know. Most you hinted at is the possibility of hiding child porn stuff in it, and I told you that that's already in there, and no one cares. And you said "hack," which implies some sort of forbidden function or code execution, but it's not forbidden to write text there, and you can't execute it... Quote Nope. Terrorists use crude oil and contraband as their primaries, cash is a side product (e.g pocket change). THEY USE ACTUAL COMMODITIES WITH INHERENT VALUE. You don't have any actual idea how terrorists store and transfer their funds, do you. Just guesses based on maybe what you've recently seen in the news? It's $100 bills. Quote Try doing that to a person that knows the world of financial crime inside and out - Jeffrey Robinson. Oh, he's got a nice detailed book out - Bit Con: The Naked Truth About Bitcoin. Here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Robinson#Non-fictionNon-fiction Oh yes. That guy is a laughing stock among bitcoin businesses and financial institutions because of that. God, we picked on him so much after that book came out. He should have stuck to the world of finance and banking, since he isn't a technology guy at all, and made so many incorrect assumptions about bitcoin. So much of it was way over his head. I hope this last book of his doesn't discredit him from the rest of the stuff he wrote about. Quote He's more of an authoritative source than any other person you can throw at me, and he's been my source this entire time. Oh! Well THAT explains it. He doesn't know anything about bitcoin the technology and how it functions, and wrote really stupid stuff with wrong assumptions as if it's just a database. And you're just following suit. It's just funny looking at all this from my side, where you have one guy writing about how it's a total scam, while at the same time the top technology companies of the world are treating it as the Internet's second coming. You'd think the guy would start to question himself and think maybe he missed something... Quote This faggot doesn't understand that you don't make money on the auctions with a penny auction, you make money on the bid packages, which allow people to bid. Oh holy fuck, you ARE running a scam site?! Geez! Quote And the prices on every one of our auctions has NEVER, EVER made it past 50% retail price. Yeah, because even if the price for the last winner reaches as much as 50%, you still take 100% from all the people who bid who didn't win! The seller of the item gets 50% from the winner, and like another 90% or more from all the losers! It's AT BEST a gambling site, at worst a scam that rips people off. Quote 3. We sell bid packages that are basically 'bid tokens' Every time you use a token, the price of the action goes up by ONE PENNY, and that token expires for good. Yeah, that "express for good" is just another way to say you take their money, regardless of whether they win. And what happens if someone outbids them? Well shit, you already took their money, they better bid more so whatever they big before isn't a loss. So you "expire" some more of their tokens. On and on until they're out of tokens, or felt like they got fleeced enough. Then you just keep all those "expired tokens" (aka their money) to yourselves, while giving the final holdout his consolation prize. I know all about how these things work. And the type of people that get suckered into them. Quote We don't have an auto-bid system like the other Penny Auction sites. Every bid MUST BE PLACED BY A PERSON. No artificially driving the bidding up, I consider that unethical and possibly illegal. Oh, of course not. Because that is literally illegal, and will literally get you sent to jail. Quote For fun, we re-issue tokens or for the fuck of it double everyone's current token amount, and do so on a regular basis. In fact, it's about time for our bidder's Christmas presents, thanks for the reminder. Of course. Free shipping, free tokens, it's all great to entice more suckers into your system. And it's easy to afford when you fleece so many poor shmucks out of their money. Wait, you're the CTO, not the finance guy. You DO know that you as a company don't actually buy the item for 100%, and then sell it for 50%, only making 50% in revenue, right? You know you're not running a charity giving away half your money for free, but instead make tons of money off every item you buy and sell, right? Fuck man... This is wild. At least it's cool that I actually get to talk to someone involved in that type of a thing to get an inside perspective... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a lot of 10K-60K transactions. I wonder how many of those are actually going to ISIS. Probably none. There has been an enormous increase in Bitcoin ATM activity recently, with Backpage.com. An inside source informed me last night that Backpage has been getting user adoption of about 40,000 new bitcoin users every month for the last few months. Due to the nature of those user's business/income, most, if not all, of those users buy their bitcoins with cash, either through bitcoin ATMs or in person from someone. Bitcoin ATMs have a capacity of 10k or 20k, depending on the model. Once they fill up, the ATM owner has to pull the cash, wire that money to an exchange, and buy back 10k to 20k worth of bitcoin. Or in some cases, where some people own multiple ATMs, they empty them all in one day and buy for all of them at once. That's probably where most of those 10k - 60k transactions are coming from, with purchased bitcoin being transferred from exchanges to their ATMs. And a single ATM in a decent location can cycle $100,000 to $200,000 through it in a month. 8 hours ago, evan said: Calling someone a shithead, yeah fucking whatever, it's passive aggression and everyone here's aggressive about everything There passive aggressive, and there's repeated harassment...

Yeah, sorry for breaking an unspoken rule about stating the uncomfortable truth, but its based on some evidence. Pastry has admitted to being piss broke. That really says that no one in the real world values him enough to give him anything with responsibility, such as a decent paying job. Or values him enough to help him out personally. I don't know if he's such a caustic and abrasive person because he feels neglected by the world, or if his financial position is because he has always been like that, and no one wants to work or be involved with someone who would be so miserable to work with. I suspect the latter? But, yeah, sorry for breaking the fourth wall. He's been pushing HARD against me, and oops, all it took is a tiny push back from me :6 Quote Well, the problem is the only thing that's different between your attitude and the "poor miserable" people you want to damn is the amount of money you have. Does it really look that much like I'm trying to damn poor people? I honestly have never had any such intentions, nor have such beliefs. The poor thing only came up because I was being challenged directly, by being called poor myself, which reflected on my claim as to whether I could be considered an authority on finance, and I may have taken it overboard on trying to demonstrate that I'm not doing what I am doing because I'm poor (Uber/Lyft thread). But with regards to people like Pastry, I'm not damning that person for being poor, I'm claiming they are poor BECAUSE they are a bad person (or a vain idiot). The poor thing itself I have no problem with; people run into life problems, or simply have no interest in wealth, and that's fine. But if you are an asshole, chances are you're poor, because of that. Quote Your remarks of other people are just as quick to petulance and inability to see why they criticize you. I think it's cause they don't understand me, have prior prejuduces and read into things I say that I never actually said (Ashley), or cause I fuck up on explaining myself. Quote Just realize that here in this medium you don't have any ground unless you actually manage to show some semblance of character beyond supposedly "proving how much better you are", because all you're doing is proving to everyone that you give too much of a shit for your own good. I started out on this forum with seemingly everyone (but really just two or three shitheads, Pastry, Ashley, 00buck) who knew me from FAF, working overtime proving how awful I was. Right from the start and without provocation. So, naturally I set out to explaining myself and trying to prove that I'm not like what they claimed I am, like some sort of an idiot. In hindsight they won. And are the reason I fucking hate these forums sometimes and think they are very toxic. I mean, fuck, it's 1am, and I'm wasting time replying here. WHY?! Quote when you try to bring them down, all you're proving is that you're not that much further up. Yeah, you're right. I know this, but it helps to hear this some time. Fuckem. Quote This isn't about proving the validity of what you do. You wouldn't even begin to be getting as condescending if it were that simple, and people around here wouldn't be so quick to express their dislike for you. It's not. It's about having been bullied and abused all my life, and not knowing how to handle that without lashing out at my attackers, after a lifetime of being meek and repressing it, just taking it all instead. Maybe having been able to break out of that, building a successful life, and feeling like I have surpassed all of those who have abused me, also makes me want to seriously rub it into their faces too, even if the new bullies have nothing to do with the old ones, and know nothing of my past. Why do I keep coming back? I sometimes tell myself it's because I need to learn how to handle bullies and harassment, and this is a perfect environment for it. But I don't think I'm really learning what I need to here. Anyway, yeah, thanks. Edited December 17, 2015 by Rassah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlynnCoyote Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I love the mentality that wealth somehow equals happiness Rassah seems to have. I'm three fucking grand in debt and sinking and I don't give a fuck. I used to, but I got over it. And honestly, my life is pretty sweet. I have a good job with livable wages, a great circle of friends, I get laid now and then and most of my hobbies and interests aren't even all that expensive. There's no point in being wealthy if you break yourself to get there. I've seen a friend become a miserable cunt because he took a higher paying job so he could get richer. At the end of the day money is just not worth that kind of stress. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That really says that no one in the real world values him enough to give him anything with responsibility, such as a decent paying job. Or values him enough to help him out personally. And Rassah says that I'm an evil sociopath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshleyAshes Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) 3 hours ago, Rassah said: Right from the start and without provocation. So, naturally I set out to explaining myself and trying to prove that I'm not like what they claimed I am, like some sort of an idiot. In hindsight they won. And are the reason I fucking hate these forums sometimes and think they are very toxic. I mean, fuck, it's 1am, and I'm wasting time replying here. WHY?! Yeah, you're right. I know this, but it helps to hear this some time. Fuckem. It's not. It's about having been bullied and abused all my life, and not knowing how to handle that without lashing out at my attackers, after a lifetime of being meek and repressing it, just taking it all instead. Maybe having been able to break out of that, building a successful life, and feeling like I have surpassed all of those who have abused me, also makes me want to seriously rub it into their faces too, even if the new bullies have nothing to do with the old ones, and know nothing of my past. Why do I keep coming back? I sometimes tell myself it's because I need to learn how to handle bullies and harassment, and this is a perfect environment for it. But I don't think I'm really learning what I need to here. Anyway, yeah, thanks. Let's be clear here Rassah. You are not successful. You are posting on this forum at 1am because for some reason, you really care what we think. If you really did believe in your success, you wouldn't do that. You wouldn't tell the forum that you are going to have an expensive trip to Aruba, assure us that it'll be awesome, and that you won't be able to post... And then spent your entire vacation posting here, even posting selfies for the forum to consume to 'prove' how awesome of a time you were having. It doesn't matter if someone is going to Aruba or the Six Flags one town over, if they needed to post here, or anywhere online regularly while there, they aren't really kicking ass and chewing bubblegum, they are being a sad, pathetic person. This forum doesn't envy you. This forum doesn't hate you because of your success. This forum hates you because you are such a failure that you can only made sad attempts to claim you are successful and happy. This forum pities you because you spent your vacation here. No one else on this forum would be such a failure that they would have focused their attention here, of all places, while on vacation. Only you have been that much of a failure. You aren't even good at boasting. You clearly come off as desperate for our acknowledgement and awe. You spend your time claiming how superior you believe you are to the rest of us, and then are transparently acting in a way to garner our acknowledgement and envy. You would look less pathetic if you instead saw us as peers who you sought attention from rather than inferiors. If you're really so much better for us, so much smarter, so much kinder, so much wiser... What in the fuck are you doing flinging muck with us? You aren't training yourself to deal with 'bullies' on the internet. You aren't proving anything to us. You aren't debating. You aren't making us envy your success. You aren't even unique. You're just some asshole on the internet, desperate to have others think he's a big deal, and there are a million others just like you. You should speak to a therapist. You can afford one.

Rassah Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) 15 hours ago, FlynnCoyote said: I love the mentality that wealth somehow equals happiness Rassah seems to have. I assume "love" is sarcasm here. And "Rassah seems to have" being "Ashley claims that Rassah said. Wealth equals opportunities and free time. Which could in turn give you or those you love options that provide happiness. Wealth by itself, or specifically just a lot of money, is nothing but a tool. It all depends on the person using it. Quote I'm three fucking grand in debt and sinking and I don't give a fuck. I used to, but I got over it. And honestly, my life is pretty sweet. I have a good job with livable wages, a great circle of friends, I get laid now and then and most of my hobbies and interests aren't even all that expensive. Congrats! That is exactly what I teach people when I teach them about how to become wealthy. Debt is someone else's money, NOT yours, so if they don't get yours out of you, don't stress about it. It's your life, you only have one to live, so put your priorities in the correct order. Debts (other people's money) are not at the top of that list. If you want to be wealthy, don't focus on working to earn money, and don't work to acquire money for money's sake. You won't become wealthy just because you want to be rich. No one does. The wealthiest well known people only got there because they were working for someone or something else, be it their friends and family, trying to solve world problems, pursuing some passion, etc. Don't waste money. Extravagant expenses, relative to your income, is how people become and stay poor. Find ways to be happy and to live that are within your means. You don't have to keep trying to get wealthier and wealthier. There's no point. Money is just a tool. If you reach a point where you are comfortable, stop there. Don't feel like a failure just because you don't have a mansion and a yacht like other people do. Don't try to keep up with the Johnses. If you are happy with where you are, that's all that matters. So, congrats, you are basically doing exactly what I believe and advocate for Quote There's no point in being wealthy if you break yourself to get there. I've seen a friend become a miserable cunt because he took a higher paying job so he could get richer. Unfortunately your friend wasn't trying to be wealthier, he was just trying to make more money, probably so he can spend more of it. People who don't understand money and wealth often mistakenly believe that to be wealthier you just need a raise or a higher paying job. But that pretty much always comes with more headaches, junk, and debts. So your friend was just going the wrong way about doing it. Like most people unfortunately do. 12 hours ago, AshleyAshes said: Let's be clear here Rassah. You are not successful. Yeah, this here's is exactly what I'm talking about. Fuck off.

I'll keep posting until I prevail and everyone us finally in awe of me, like I deserve, because I worked so hard!' What a sucker.

(Funny how Ashley ALWAYS thinks she's the entire forum) Normally I'd agree with you (omg nowai), but considering that literally every thread you've ever made going back all the way to ye olde FAF boiled down to people calling you out for being a pompous douche and asking you to fuck off, I'd say that she does speak for the entire forum on this 'issue'. Not that it matters since you're basically obsessed with us (with a special fixation on Ashley and little ol' me) and will never leave. I don't really mind too much, watching you chimpout while you go around screaming about how you hate me is funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
