mircea_popescu: it IS a great way to build an intellect in this space.
mircea_popescu: <fluffypony> ThickAsThieves: no, I was just flipping through threads << i imagine he's picked up the benkay task.
mircea_popescu: idiots, of course, never have the sense to actually name names, and admit whom they wish to copy, and for what reason, and what all that means.
mircea_popescu: scammers always do.
mircea_popescu: <fluffypony> so Havelock admitted to insider trading, of a sort? << no. they're just trying to make vague claims as to anything. that they're registered, should that seem desirable. that they're mp, should that appear a value. that anything and everything, no matter what it may be.
mircea_popescu: i'll have my horses graze on him. for he's a glenn, and they like glens.
mircea_popescu: on the same grounds, i

mircea_popescu: ;;later tell princessnell hey, what do you know of pando daily ?
mircea_popescu: basically this guy would like to be here, but he doesn't know that here exists, or how to get here. which, imo, speak to structural deffect. if he weren't a broken being he wouldn't have the problem.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the notion that andreessen is a source or has anything to say about bitcoin is laughable, but it's also so very cute
mircea_popescu: so let them fail, miserably and humiliatingly, and from that failure learn how little shit they got for brains.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell bitcoinpete "Bitcoin is infused with several of Nietzsche’s philosophies." that's broken. concepts ? ideas ?
mircea_popescu: who knows, maybe it jolts the dude out of his intellectual complacency and he actually gets informed about btc.
mircea_popescu: benkay https://twitter.com/Mircea_Popescu/status/461201013983416320

mircea_popescu: and i thought to myself... here's a crow, that has no friends, but through the use of technology will make itself a profile, and put it online
mircea_popescu: it was just him and the crows, which were also playing with sticks and items in a similar figety manner
mircea_popescu: by himself.
mircea_popescu: who was fiddling with the camera to get it to sit up so it'll take his picture
mircea_popescu: sort-of amir taaki-esque

mircea_popescu: pankkake true.
