I know Gotlucky, it might seem like Dave and I are just two peas in a pod enjoying jokes over some cold beers, but over the years rifts just emerged between us. An economic disagreement here and there just turned into some bad blood between us. It’s a shame really.
I don’t understand the comments.
Smiling Dave essentially had said that its’s entirely irrelevant how many people actually use Bitcoin as long as he arbitrarily decides that it’s not enough, and that his own judgement preempts all the empirical data as well as anecdotal evidence. He did this several times, when I provided data about velocity of Bitcoin, about its usage in online gambling and so on.
So I made an equally absurd analogy, that no matter who reads Smiling Dave’s blog, as long as I arbitrarily decide that’s not enough, he is fraud and must collapse. My argument wasn’t that empirically, noone reads Smiling Dave’s blog, but the absurdity of elevating arbitrary judgement into an argument..
Fair enough. I don’t think people understood that. Your comment is more widely known from Malachi’s signature.
…However, I still stand by my point that all those accolades you listed have been easily replicated by people with literally no expertise whatsoever. (Seriously, just read some of the things Holiday was able to do.) So while they may sound good on a bio page, they’re not altogether that impressive.
Perhaps there is a different insult people are referring to.
it only became an insult because of my cyber bullying, abridging ways. next sig is coming asap.
New sig SUUUUCCKKS

What he said. I want more cyber bullying.
and whats my incentive for listening to you two idiots? you probably didnt even get the reference because the closest you pukes ever got to serving your country was sitting down to watch Apocalypse Now and you couldnt finish it! thats desertion, and I should have you flensed.
/approve
besides, what am I supposed to sign my posts with? “Malachi the Martian”?
Something that doesn’t suck is usually considered appropriate.
you think heart of darkness sucks?
You’re right John, I didn’t originally understand what the actual issue was, I guess yesterday was one of my stupid days. It dawned on me today. Also, the pictures you provide are really worth more than a thousand words.
“you think heart of darkness sucks?”
No, just your signatuer. Have you read heart of darkness, by the way?
not in about 15 million years
Go read a leather bound book, old man.
you know what, I think I will.
ps- uncle joe had foreknowledge.
