mircea_popescu: kakobrekla you have a point

think davout is registered as a
texas political promoter
kakobrekla: also it was not a real slander,

the establishment.
davout: also what's wrong with
this brock pierce guy?
davout: got baldur's gate 2, i'm sure i'll find a couple of boring quests
to delegate
davout: his
thing just sounds like some AI parsed
the front page of reddit and posted
the
thing
that sounded
the most appropriate
thing given
the context, on /r/bitcoin
mircea_popescu: thus begins your career as a ...
texas legislature political promoter ?

the
Texas State House of Representatives District 46
davout: the guy opposes
the
TSA
davout: "I'm running for
the
Texas State Legislature. I support LGBT rights, pot, and net-neutrality and oppose
the NSA and
TSA. I also happen
to be a long-time Bitcoin enthusiast. I'd love your support."
Apocalyptic: "and for some reason
the
ticket was marked as solved without any response"
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I guess we'll have
to send
the Mr. Klye
twink on him
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla well because jeb mccaleb is on
the foundation board wait
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: RE - Pierce. Why not have

bounce: n'mind
that it's
the age you
think everything is dumb (even if you're mostly right
thinking
that.
there's always
that you're 15 y/o
too, dumbass)
bounce: oh,
that's alright
then. probably moar SMRT
than
the rest of
them
together, eh
bounce: wait what, wharton high school? so
that's a 10 y/o's
take on bitcoin?
Apocalyptic: (besides
they managed
to get Andreas' name wrong, which indicates it's a very serious article)
Apocalyptic: someone directed me
to it
to prove "he's serious about crypto" (in #bitcoin)
fluffypony: Learn BTC: From Antonopolis
to ZeroCoin!
mircea_popescu: " Why inappropriately smear one of
the few credible dudes
that actually stepped up
to run — and let’s face it,
the pickings were slim — without any real proof of wrongdoing, and why bitch about it only after
the fact?"
mircea_popescu: such setting oneself up
to fail has not been seen since
the days mtgox was running on
the lagengine.
mircea_popescu: guy can't fucking read, i have no idea how he managed
to pass
the bar exam, he's
the foundation's expert on
things.
bounce: really should write all
these names down along with what
they're on about now
Apocalyptic: "Andreas Antonopolis, whom many consider
to be
the authority on everything bitcoin, explained"
mircea_popescu: ok, i am well entertained.
tys go
to
the pretender's club. well done sirs.
mircea_popescu: ahahaha
the byrne fuckwit is actually a blockchain "bitcoin legal expert" pick of
the month club ?
mircea_popescu: hey, any fiat fucktards with delusions of being "investors" and "relevant" and "in bitcoin" ? pls
to give
the guy some money ?
bounce: somebody sell
this idea
to him
mircea_popescu: "After all,
this is a dude with a lot of industry exposure and investments as it is. He could basically build a closed-loop bitcoin ecosystem himself via his roles as both investor (BitAngels, LA Bitcoin Accelerator) and executive at companies ranging from mining (KNCMiner), ATM hardware (Robocoin), payment processing (GoCoin), consumer wallet (ExpressCoin), and bitcoin exchange (Mt. Gox?). "
mircea_popescu: the problem is
that he apparently did a shitty job of it.
mircea_popescu: bounce
that'd be a problem for
the judge
taking
the bribe. i see no problem for him in
that.
bounce: "corrupt" in
the sense it looks like he bribed his way out of
the allegations
mircea_popescu: he's here
trying
to establish a noob as "early investor" ? orly ? gtfo.
mircea_popescu: amusing as 3) is, considering how utterly
trampled he got for all
the pompous bullshit he was
trying
to pass back
then,
mircea_popescu: "I didn’t want
to
touch
this story with a
ten-foot pole because 1) I’ve met and have had only positive experiences with Pierce, 2) he is one of
the most well-connected and important early investors in
the Bitcoin industry, and 3) even if I hated him and he was a nobody, I’m still licking my wounds from
the Gox and BTC Foundation battles I waged in February/March.
The last
thing I want
to do is comment on a new p
mircea_popescu: anyway, apparently
the
two bit idiot character still exists and still posts. notwithstanding
that nobody reads
that pulp, either. now get a load of
this :
mircea_popescu: the only moment anyone pays any attention is when
they majorly fuck up, because we can all just lol and move on.
mircea_popescu: and as
to why now rather
than earlier : nobody gives a shit about
the foundation. nobod yreads what
they do. nobody cares.
mircea_popescu: bounce i dun
think
the guy is "corrupt", what
the hell
that is. i
think he's clueless and incompetent, which is much worse
than any corruption.
HeySteve: Naphex,
to be fair,
the foundation really screwed
the pooch
this
time
Naphex: so
thats why after election
Naphex: the main
theme is anti foundation
Naphex: after
the cp story with
the raid in spain
bounce: so
this beyond
the guy being likely shady and probably corrupt,
there's also a bunch of would-be character assassins busily doing
their
thing?
HeySteve: possibly Phineas Gage, but no desire
to confirm
that
mircea_popescu: "What kind of man ruins
the online lives of underage boys with RMT" come on.
mircea_popescu: i'm perfectly heterosexual, i've spent many nights with dozens of older men, armed
to
the
teeth.
mircea_popescu: "What kind of allegedly heterosexual man spends endless nights with
two older men, guns, and drugs?" << why mix all
that stupid shit in
there i wonder ?
Naphex: most of
the stuff is
true(tm)
rithm: could probably do
the video shoot back at his place
mircea_popescu: >Pierce called Egan “a pathological liar” and
told BuzzFeed
that he has charter flight records
that prove
that Singer and
the other defendants were never in Hawaii with Egan, as
the lawsuit alleges. He said
that he could not immediately release
those records.<
mircea_popescu: "I’m not even gay.”< ok, gets even better, we don't even need an investigative journalist anymore. any hot
twinks with a desire
to majorly
troll want
to go hit on pierce and report
the results ?
mircea_popescu: Pierce also
told BuzzFeed over
the phone
that he finds
the resurfacing of
those allegations frustrating. “It’s all old news,” he said. << you know,
that part is so fucking familiar.
trilema is full of various exposed scammers, spammers, what have you.
their absolutely universal first line response ? "o
that stuff is old news".
mircea_popescu: kinda puts in a sore light
the desperation of all
these
thought leaders in
their own dreams, if
that's what
their godfather looks like.
mircea_popescu: kid actor,
then part of a wow gold
trading gang is what i knew.
rithm: nah nigger.txt
totally O-K
Naphex: mircea_popescu: i had no idea who
the brock guy even was
rithm: this is way beyond
that
rithm: everyone always gives you shit about
the naked girls
mircea_popescu: on account of being 12 and what is
this cock in my mouth ? or what.
rithm: i've read enough
to make mircea looks like a saint
mircea_popescu: never mind
that part. he noticed nothing amiss in
the conduct of ige ? srsly ?
HeySteve: rithm, at
the least, it is hard
to believe
that for
two years he noticed nothing amiss in
the conduct of his housemates in Spain
mircea_popescu: Let’s be clear here: Brock Pierce considers his previous work with IGE
to have been a positive contribution
to virtual currencies as a whole and he holds
the delusion
that his work in
the field was instrumental
to paving
the way for Bitcoin. He wishes
to be “The Godfather of Bitcoin”... It means what you
think it means, especially in Hollywood.
assbot: Brock Landers - Angels Live in My
Town - YouTube
rithm: where
there is smoke
there is fire?
rithm: i like
to call him brock landers
bounce: can always strike out
the "proposed" part later, eh
