The typical suburbanite kid with a lemonade stand has more "entrepreneurial spirit" than a kid playing with daddy's money.

He literally had a series of failed scam businesses before he decided that creating his own crypto coin was the best use of his time and money.

LanceHunter posted:That's a bit like asking who cares how fast a person can run when we live in a world with cars and airplanes. There's still something worthwhile in seeing how precise you can make a purely mechanical device, even if only for aesthetic reasons. Among other things these fanciest of fancy watches will very often include a tourbillon. A tourbillon is a device that rotates some or all of the entire mechanism to average and integrate out gravitational error. They are meant to be used in conjunction with a suspension possibly as simple as hanging from a rope, or at the close of the age of mechanical time pieces with a whole apparatus that is basically an easycam suspension. So now what is the point of a tourbillon we take and put on the wristwatch of a guy who swings golf clubs all day and routinely wildly gesticulates at the help when they are pretending not to understand English? It's a caveman taking a laptop and strapping it to a stick and saying "hey guys, check out my high tech adze." There's a metaphor about Bitcoin in here and using Merkle trees for ledgers if you look closely.

I'm kind of surprised there isn't some version of that by some watchmaker for Corvette Guys, it seems like a thing they'd be really into

zedprime posted:If you check the author bio he literally calls it his blog. I think you just buy in for access to an "editor" who just gatekeeps anything really problematic and hope your page visits pay for the continuing access. I've been tempted to get in on the Forbes contributor program so I can get blue-check'd on Twitter. It's been kind of a pain in the rear end trying to get the exact details, though.

As long as nobody wants to cash out the tethers it's all good. The only reason this works is because of hodlers never cashing out and never sharing their passwords with their next of kin when they die of poor hygiene.

I’d pay maybe like $300 for one of those watches. Maybe $500 for the Ferrari one. They should track who buys them and then liquidate their assets because — okay, I’m just jealous because I want to get in on a scam like this. Rip off the wealthy and give them $100 watches? Sign me the gently caress up, victimless crime.
