I never read the finance forum stuff but my understanding is zaurg is just an e/n story with a bitcoin flavor and SA has a hell of a lot more rules regarding e/n threads than bitcoin. He didn't wanna dig up, that gets you in trouble regardless of whether it's bitcoin or anything else

"I need to lose weight, will chugging Ex-Lax for breakfast and dinner help?" "NO! Don't do that, that's dangerous." [Wipes mouth]"I don't know why you say that, I've only spent a few hours on the toilet, not all day!" "No! You should eat a balanced diet. And exercise." "What if I switch to Pepto AND Ex-Lax?" "That's gonna probably kill what remains of your gut flora and you won't be able to digest...well, most things." "I threw in some arsenic because I heard someone say it binds to my chi and makes me lose weight." "Get the gently caress out." Ham Sandwiches: "That was a precious and special person you've abused!!!1"

Ham Sandwiches posted:Laughing it off like he can agree to never post about finance again is a pretty harsh punishment for someone that might want to share their opinions, even if they are bad. Yet you think that all he has to do is what, admit his crimes, swear to never commit them again, and he can go back to posting on these comedy forums? if a racist shows up on SA and posts about Black IQ being inherently inferior, I want them banned if an anti-vaxxer shows up on SA and posts about vaccines causing autism and gov't mind control, I want them banned if a zaurg shows up in any financial topic and posts about shitcoin investing or buying $3000/mo of candles are a wise budget, I want him banned there is a certain level of bad opinion that is so obviously bad and dumb that it should be removed and the people who hold those opinions discarded. this isn't to say zaurg is as bad a person as the racist (though considering he has children who he will be unable to support should he become destitute, there's a case to be made). but his opionions about anything to do with money are equally worthless.

I figured zaurg was just so bad with money that he became a minor legendary figure, and if he keeps it up, people may start quietly having "John Zaurg" as a hypothetical example in economic writings, and then he will have truly transcended the mortal plane and moved into Elysium. He will still owe money

Ham Sandwiches understands the zaurg saga about as well as he understands the economy and buttcoins. zaurg was already in trouble because he kept digging long before he got into the bitscoin. hence the "I spend $3000 on candles and I can't feed my family" meme

Zaurg exists to be the floor of financial poo poo, much like Grover's home-building serves as the floor of DIY poo poo here. In many ways, 4chan was created for goons to see the floor of the internet and elevate ourselves. You don't really need to know anything else about Zaurg other than that they are the antithesis of good financial practices.

Criminal behavior is always going to be at least as bad as discriminating against people on the basis of their skin color.

I just don’t know how Bitcoins could ever be a real thing. How do you keep your dollar connected to the internet at all times? A little antenna? A long Ethernet cord? What if you step too far out of range? It’s unsustainable! Call me a Luddite but I don’t see people walking into a strip club with a big ol bag of dollars with little cords sticking out of them asking for the WiFi so their dollars work You have a dollar, it keeps all its data stored locally on... paper. Ever heard of it? With ink! Everything is technology is these days but expecting me to connect my dollar to the internet? Stupid

I was going to say the difference is that bigots can mend their ways and be redeemed, unlike crypto, but your take works, too.

Of course not. With money, you can spend it immediately and without requiring any special computer equipment or have any technical knowledge, and is actually useful.

Exactly, that's why I posted it. The person basically described something that we can already easily do in every 1st world country everywhere and nearly every country on earths major cities. If you have $$ you can send it pretty much anywhere. You can even do it on a computer. And it's faster. And safer than BTC. BTC is useless except for identifying assholes and idiots. Anyone who is pro BTC is either or both.

Doge is so weird because you are banking on what everyone suddenly wanting the coin? GME went up because enough people with money could buy. And even after the bubble people might still want it for the long term. On the other hand coins seem to be actual PND. That said let's take this baby to $4! e: Does Coinbase even price their crypto like a stock exchange ledger or does it simply buy for the current price, update the market cap and set new price as market cap divided by number of coins in existence? Because it seems to be that. Bright Bart fucked around with this message at 06:05 on Feb 1, 2021 |

One might have been full time and had business cards. Not sure if they were actively trying to take money for advice they didn't believe since both seemed to put it all back into BTC. If either was taking a fee for showing you where to buy drugs then that would have been pretty rad.

Zaurg is more like an epic poem, like with a greek chorus singing "zaurg stop digging down" every few verses Zaurg is eternally entertaining because he's basically Sisyphus, doomed to forever push a boulder up the hill of financial stability only to eventually get distracted by something shiny that causes him to slide back down into financial ruin. The shitcoins saga was but a single chapter in zaurg's tale
