If that is truly their plan, they are dumber than we fucking figured.

If a billionaire wants to buy a swimming pool, he needs a considerable amount of other people to be able to afford swimming pools or it it becomes impossible for him to get one at all eventually.

To have a swimming pool, there needs to be an industry of specialized labororers who can manufacture and install. There has to be electricians who specialize in mixing water and electricity. There has to be people working the factories where the chlorine gets manufactured and bottled.

This is true for every product that billionaires consume. You really gotta think that these people with all this wealth would have people on the payroll pointing this out to them.

I am finding I like Mastodon the best. Lemmy has potential, but I think the political extremism and lack of hobbyist culture here currently, mixed with the incredibly confusing on-boarding process beginners have to navigate, along with the name, all contribute to making it DOA.

Conservative voters are not anti-war, they are anti-Russian war, and the Republican ticket already addresses that. These people don't historically vote for left wing parties, nor are they in this case.

The green party's base is pot smokers and college students who haven't gotten wise to the green grift yet.

If it isn't Nick Szabo, it is somebody who has spent years ensuring all clues point to nobody but Nick Szabo, up to and including placing a Satoshi nakamoto statue in a rural Polish town where Nick Szabo's grandfather was born.

Let's just look at this logically: if you had written the 30+ papers building the ideas that eventually became bitcoin, actually were building bitcoin and months away from releasing, and then had all your work stolen without credit nor citation, you wouldn't be the world's biggest supporter of bitcoin. You would be mad that somebody stole your work and then spent years framing you for its creation.

The first usage of the word bitcoin was even on Nick Szabo's own blog, under a comment by the user Eddie. This leads to two outcomes: Eddie is Satoshi, or Nick's work wasn't stolen, bit gold is bitcoin and Nick is Satoshi.

Honesrly: tokenboomer likely is all those accounts as well.

You will notice that anytime you respond to boomer with disagreement, multiple accounts will begin flooding you, and they all brave in and out of the conversations as if they are the ones who said things said by others.

You wouldn't expect a paid professional to be so sloppy, but on the other hand, if he was good at his job, he wouldn't be working for Hamas.

I like Cory Doctorow.

However, I bought the novel Rabbits solely because Doctorow had a front cover blurb praising the novel.

It was downright a bad novel. Doctorow owes me $16.

It's truly not even a mystery.

There is only one person on earth who had both the skills and experience to create bitcoin, and actually was working to create bitcoin in the months leading up to the white paper.

That person is Nick Szabo.

The communists here are doing it for free.

... i don't even know how to respond to that because I'm not sure if itself is a response to what I said.

Chain grocery stores don't really allow individual branches to all follow different policies.

Somebody walks the aisles at 10 pm every night scanning the out of stocks.
