mircea_popescu: retarded shit like that.
mircea_popescu: they keep hearing "coca cola is a drink" they end up thinking it's a drink.
mircea_popescu: otherwise the general fucktarded populace may end up confused, cause they're simple signal processors.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform pretty much exactly. which is why a lot more "fuck the poor, they're less than dirt" needs to be stated explicitly.

mircea_popescu: "The Bitcoin Emerging Market Fund (BBBB) initiated a position in the Neo & Bee Payment Network (Havelock: NEOBEE) on 03/07 buying 18 shares. The fund will continue to increase this position in the near term. I love the tangibility of NEOBEE’s assets.
