no no no, so you order from buttamazon something for $100, you and buttamazon stake $100,000, and then you insure that $100,000 with an insurance company and stake $100,000,000 on that. see? so simple.

then you find out that buttmazon and the insurance company are the same entity and owned by an eastern european scammer

Owner of Vermont Wireless ISP May Have Fled the Country to Avoid SEC Investigation

quote:

Houston native Homero Josh Garza, 30, had his hands in as many as a dozen business ventures in Vermont, Delaware, and Massachusetts, including Brattleboro’s Great Auk Wireless. But the wireless ISP founded in 2004 apparently is no longer high on Garza’s list of priorities after the entrepreneur discovered the prospect of big profits mining Bitcoins.

quote:

Garza’s performance in the Bitcoin world has been given similar reviews after his mining venture rose to prominence and then collapsed, leaving investors and regulators looking for answers.

quote:

The prospect of getting “free money” just by running software encouraged the start of a virtual Gold Rush.
2.

quote:

Enter GAW, which stands for “Geniuses At Work.” Garza’s business depended on a steady stream of clients investing in his enormous mining operation. GAW Miners claimed it has 200,000 customers and $120 million in revenue in just six months. GAW also reportedly collected 28,000 Bitcoins worth over $10 million in just two months.

quote:

To get these answers, Garza’s firm was subpoenaed in February to turn over relevant documents. As of late May, Bitcoin traders suspect Garza has left the country and federal investigators behind and relocated to Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, which has no extradition treaty with the U.S.

I've learnt something today, GAW either stands for "Great Auk Wireless" or "Geniuses At Work"

Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that no single book is. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.

in the bitcoin future, i order a bag of sugar from the decentralized bazaar (the local grocery store only sells soylent and cold brew coffee now), which requires a vr helmet, trezor, and netbook that is to never be used on the internet. i deposit the coins into a wallet that is a 2 of 2 address, where the coins will be released to the seller when I send the second key.

the seller sends me a bag of white power. i release the funds, but a week later, I decide to make cookies. turns out the sugar was actually a research chemical that imitates heroin.

sans the tech, this is literally the plot of a fabulous furry freak brothers comic from the 70's

the idea of irreversibly burning away your fiat in return for bitcoins is perhaps an image that could be taken in a way that they weren't quite going for
