ahem...Smiling Dave featured on EPJ?

Miscellaneous General
1

Not kidding.

Leisure, Bob Murphy and Say’s Law

Congrats. I believe it’s the most well-read libertarian blog with a single author (and probably 2nd overall, only after the LRC blog).

Depends on what you consider “blog”, and how much leeway you’re willing to give with “single author”. I’d say at least a good 15-20% of EPJ content is openly attributed to someone else. (The OP being a perfect example.)

Cool

5

And, that insult Peter Surda threw at Smiling Dave seems even less clever now.

6

read it in context. bob wenzel is an old boring nobody.

7

Damn. -1 for me.

8

Hey. Would an old boring nobody given an epic speech at the Federal Reserve?

I rest my case.

9

Ah, the old one-two.

10

Finish him.

11

congrats

12

Nice Job SD!

13

I planned on continuing my self imposed silence [lest I crow at people losing 60% of their money in the latest bitcoin fiasco], but it would be ungracious not to acknowledge the kind congratulations from all of you.

Thank you very much.

I don’t know what sort of weird authority fallacy this is, but just FYI, I’ve not only been quoted/republished on blogs, but have been quoted in magazines, radio, there are interviews with me on youtube, I lecture about Bitcoin, am being invited into conferences and I’ve been filmed for the Bitcoin Documentary. And I do this in three languages I might add.

Surda,

So what? Do you really not understand why he thinks your comment is less clever now? I can’t see the relevance your “accomplishments” have to the point he was making.

17

In addition to your comment being less clever (which, I admittedly did laugh out loud when I originally read it), I’m sorry to say, this list isn’t exactly that impressive either…

I’ll grant you this is pretty cool.

You look like a whiny bitch trying to fool people into falling for an authority fallacy by talking like that when it has nothing to do with the subject…

Your comment looks less clever because someone from a well-respected website apparently reads Dave’s blog.

Also, I’m not exactly Dave’s #1 fan and I laughed at your post.

I couldn’t tell.
