I repeatedly called him out for being a hypocrite for wanting to have it both ways of urging people to buy btc (and saying anyone who didn't buy was ignorant) and then saying in subsequent posts it was risky and might collapse.


He always played both sides of the aisle. So he would always be right one way or another. I don't fault people like Stout and (crap the other Xboxer, who speculated, Brucevilanch maybe), anyway, y'all knew enough to be in and out and not get emotionally attached.

Wiki must be laughing his arse off now. That is if he hasn't died from all the hookers and blow.

LSURussian had the nerve to do a call out thread regarding LSU baseball on the rant and then challenged me to find posts where he ripped Bitcoin.

This is just the tip of the iceberg.

I plan to do a full recap thread with lots of quotes from Russia, Broke, etc. Should be great fun.


FYI I'm still hella bitter I took the side opposite Wiki. Literally cost me about $30k. Grateful to have made it up in ETH thanks to Omaha.

That story is a perfect example of "fake news."

The IRS wrote it, the WP published it in hopes people take it seriously.

You're a fricking liar. You claimed I said bitcoin is "worthless." I challenged you to find one post by me that said that. You couldn't and can't do it. You linked this thread as proof that I said that. Yet, it's not in this thread. Liar.

What I always disputed wiki about regarding btc was his constantly claiming bitcoin was going to "topple governments, make central banks obsolete and destroy the U.S. dollar." Have any of those things happened?

You're quite the name caller.

I love your defense of "you'll never find me literally uttering the word 'worthless'!!!!"

Just hilarious

Yeah, I've admitted I missed on that prediction.

It's not the first time I've wrong about something. The phrase "before the 30th round" comes specifically to mind....

It's the word you used, frickwad.

If you had said I've criticized bitcoin, then I would have agreed with you. But for whatever reason for your personal attack on me, you didn't say that.

Instead you posted in a totally unrelated baseball thread on the Rant that I said "bitcoin is worthless." When I said link to where I said that, you linked this thread.

The problem is nowhere in this thread do I say bitcoin is worthless.

In fact, I don't express an opinion about the monetary value of bitcoin at all in this thread. Instead I referred to a Jamie Dimon interview where he said the block chain technology behind bitcoin might be useful in other applications.

Therefore, kindly GFY, liar. Thanks.

I'm glad you were wrong. I don't know if I could have taken the rain delays we would have had on Monday. I live about 5 miles from the Box and it stormed off and on all day on Monday.

Getting home from the Box at almost 3 AM Monday morning after the SR win and then getting up at 7 AM to take my dog to a vet appointment damn near killed me.

I don't suffer fools gladly.

The fact that you hijacked a pretty funny LSU baseball thread on the Rant just to call me out about something totally unrelated proves how much of a fool you are.

And you still can't link to a post by me where I said bitcoin is worthless.

I'll be waiting.

You will find I disagreed with the idea that bitcoin was going to replace the U. S. dollar as a reserve currency, topple governments and make central banks obsolete.

I also said posters who claimed BTC was safe and 100% untraceable (anonymous) were wrong, and I've been proven correct about both of those.

I said that bitcoin has no intrinsic value, and that is still correct. It has nothing backing it up as a currency or an investment other than fear, speculation and the hope it can be used to purchase illegal or shady goods and services and not be traced back to the purchaser.

I've also posted that the transactional technology behind bitcoin was probably the first step to developing other technologies that would be useful.

So tell me, why did you link this thread in the Rant thread when there is nothing in it which even hints about my opinion of the market value of bitcoin? Are you that desperate to save face that you linked the first thread you found about bitcoin that I posted in although you didn't read the thread?
