mircea_popescu: because we're all rebelious 16 year olds who ran away from home to be with cartman's bitcoin pirates.
mircea_popescu: there's a lot of confusing going on. hunkering down and satisfying some standards is "sucking cock",
mircea_popescu: nobody fails cause they're mean and evil. people fail because they're brash, "very motivated" and cheeky/disobedient.

mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i tell you something : other than a little too prideful for their own good (which comes with youth)
mircea_popescu: if pure profit that's ~30 btc sort of thing

mircea_popescu: o may gawd
mircea_popescu: don't forget the sharpie.
mircea_popescu: we got enough headless chickens on speed running around

mircea_popescu: furuknap might be a good idea.

mircea_popescu: there was that guy with the bitcoin buttons etc, i bought some, erik bought some, so it was pretty hot stuff for a while. i doubt he made much profit if anything.

After reaching its destination it eventually sank in a hurricane"
