a sense of other intangible commodities such as pollution rights

a new innovative coinplatfromscamderpage thing
nubbins`: half those people in the room don't know what the fuck
a computer is
nubbins`: oh sure, but that's too low-level for
a senate hearing
nubbins`: put another way: whether satoshi is
a 10yo kid or Queen Beatrice, bitcoin is what it is
thickasthieves: "

a part had to be replaced?
