mircea_popescu: chief among the list -- the notion that useless 20something dicklet is ever going to repay six figure debts, as if he's some kind of fucking aeroplane or something.

mircea_popescu: it's funny how by now the "idea men" / mit grads notion of bitcoin is closer to some kind of biological item. "99% pure!!"
mircea_popescu: just putting it in teh plain that it works exactly opposite from most items, where it's rather "do it right so i don't have to have it redone"
mircea_popescu: note tho that i am NOT going to enforce any kind of responsibility for vtrons. the item says "MAKE YOUR OWN!!! vtron" for a fucking reason, and this is that reason -- if you use another man's parachute package better not be surprised by the fact he likes to keep girl undies there.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: shinohai pretty sure originally it was like a coin or somesuch, in 2014.
