mircea_popescu: kakobrekla your forum wordmixer gave mpoe-pr a small heart attack lol
mircea_popescu: i personally don't think there's any value in the forum format, but hey.
mircea_popescu: honestly i don't see why .lk can't be used for exactly this purpose.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i had a forum on the old polimedia domain, same principle, also pretty dead.
mircea_popescu: it's pretty much the system that sunk -otc into irrelevancy, so...
mircea_popescu: i guess we're going to tune in to .lk for further mpoe-pr posts.
mircea_popescu: antephialtic there's a diference between clueless and stupid.
mircea_popescu: antephialtic the problem with any exam that doesn't also include a firing squad is that it creates a class of niggers.
mircea_popescu: one is that people generally are stupid. this, we knew going in, not a problem.
mircea_popescu: was looking for a way out for a while. reducing .org to the status of a lousy scrapper of .lk seems perfect.
mircea_popescu: but the political angle is important, that shit must die.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla simple ban avoiding technique : make .lk account, link it to bitcointalk.org account
mircea_popescu: i put stuff from the forum in here, read it destupidified in log
mircea_popescu: these words of sorted randomly r they perhaps into sense coallesce through of sortage log method ?
mircea_popescu: "mircea_popescu: but were ballads about made miserably they then having cool how failing"
mircea_popescu: "mircea_popescu: made cool ballads failing but miserably how then about having they were"
mircea_popescu: anyway. "cyprus central bankers" win this battle god help us.
mircea_popescu: i mean... guys like iancu jianu. ex road robber, caught, tried, sentenced to hang, saved by ancient rule that noble virginz may save a convicted felon by marrying him
mircea_popescu: it's really not at all different from forum mentality.
mircea_popescu: then failing miserably but having ballads made about how cool they were
mircea_popescu: bounce i have no idea. the entire national pantheon is basically neobee like scammors. ie, various rebels promising independence from x or y or z
mircea_popescu: having failed is actually much better than having succeeded.
mircea_popescu: there's also many cultural factors at play. for instance, in a culture which is fundamentally defeatist and patently insane, like romania's,
mircea_popescu: in that we'll see if in 2015 or 2020 cypruss is above or below the norm
mircea_popescu: i guess we'll actually be deriving some benefit from the ineptly handled neobee shareholder piggybank,
mircea_popescu: mike_c yeah but what if the awareness they raised is "bitcoin is an undependable scamfest"
mircea_popescu: i wonder to what degree things actually work that way.
mircea_popescu: interesting argument tho, re "the awareness that won't go away".
mircea_popescu: "Even if Neo ends up failing and Cyprus central bankers win this battle, they've managed to change the world forever. The Bitcoin awareness in Cyprus will not go away even if Neo fails and that counts for something. I know I was part of that as an investor and helped build that to some extent. On the other hand MPEx will go down in history as the clown who badmouthed the competition and riding some donkey in Egypt."
mircea_popescu: person 1 : "I personally don't believe that Neo&Bee is a scam, but very well said. Just becuase there is an easier way to steal money that the scammers passed up doesn't mean it's not a scam."
