Dirty F and his bitcoun threads at the zoo are fucking classic. Talk about trying to pump something that is headed for a crash.

Just like RogerV and Stevie Lightspeed all sticking up for Chris Mallick... he was a top notch stand up guy and would never take anyones money.

Saw how that one turned out.

My personal best was all of the blowhards pumping up Scott's Yes Signals in the pre launch thread... everyone saying "wow i just got a sneak peak and this is awesome" LMAO. Before everyone else knew what it was. All those idiots trying to hype that worst idea ever of a site.

Scott had a great idea 10 years ago with all the text/stories that accompanied his TGP galleries. Gained him a lot of SE juice that lasted many years.

He just never followed it up with any new successful ideas.
That site BTW has some merit if he was doing it from a humor angle as opposed to trying to take himself serious.

Being able to make fun of yourself has always served me well.

Bitcoins might be headed for a crash. But the virtual cash genie is out of the bottle. It can have serious ramifications for file lockers....you won't be able to cut off their funding.
Governments could lose control of their economy....say Cypress for instance and it could threaten the Euro.
However, when you fuck with capitalism on a scale that is that huge, you better have a bolt hole, because da man will gain total control of said virtual cash to protect its very substantial interests.
They have real armies. Computer geeks do not.
I am waiting for the dust to settle which I think will happen fairly quickly. I just wonder how to recognize the signs.
