However, he most certainly would have had a hilarious until banned Twitter account.

You're right, and I and you know you're right, but you're also banging your head against a brick wall. The only real thing for sane people to do at this point is to just live our l…

It's not positive-sum, you are taking away capital from a competitor or exploiting somebody down the line.

Name one thing that isn't a ponzi, everybody's profits in every respect come from somewhere else, the only things that get called a ponzi are things which make the game and exploit…

You are vastly overestimating the competency of bureaucrats and their minions. The people sitting at the top of current power structures are ghosts of the past, mimics pretending t…

Thank you for making me rich by the way! You can keep your wonderful fiat and menial job.

Yeah, most NFTs are just references to a database hosting a file somewhere. There are exceptions, but this is the case with sites like Rarible as far as I know. The exceptions are …

This doesn't make any sense. Yes, people who loan out assets are penalized, but so are the salt of the earth people who watch as their money buys less food, utilities cost more, ca…

The people who think 4chan is some existential threat to society rather than anti-social people and people with autism blowing off steam and being mean to each other are the people…

Have to get those points bruh, have to get that reddit gold!

No I don't think he's talking about Trump.

I don't care about Trump being kicked off twitter. He is just a name that is meaningless in the grand scheme of things. I also don't care about the people you agree with or how the…

Yes we should ban everybody who shows open disagreement and doesn't take the party line in the serious manner we see fit. I am not trolling, I am highlighting the absurd manner in …

The funny thing is despite your mockery of my reply, literally all the things I've mentioned have already happened to people in real life. It's just a matter of time until it's wel…

I'm not throwing a slippery slope anything out. You are failing to see the interconnected nature of all of the things I mentioned. Twitter and all the big tech companies should be …
