butterfly labs answers the question of "why would you sell the money printing machine" with the wholly obvious answer of "only after we've fully used up the ink in the printer first before shipping"

i've tried to explain that i've been watching this poo poo for over a decade, to people who are just now "getting into crypto", and that the reason i don't have any is because of what i've seen.

oh lord, the things i've seen

i always wish them luck though

lol same. and one of the follow up question i get is "but if you did buy in you'd be a billionaire right now!" and it's like, i'm not stupid enough to think i'm the one in a thousand who'd have kept their coins up to now. more likely than not i'd have lost the wallet's password, or had it stolen from me, or i'd have sold them for $10,000 of un-activated amazon gift cards, or i'd have been shanked in a parking lot at night trying to exchange them for cold hard cash through localbitcoins or whatever that was called, or the exchange where i stored my coins would have been "hacked", or i'd have had my identity stolen when some shady exchange asked me for my driver's license + passport + bone marrow sample and then lost all my coins on that exchange, or my bank would have closed all my accounts and have me blacklisted from the global financial system for having anything to do with crypto before regulated exchanges appeared, or...

yes, exactly.

and inevitably they've never considered actually trying to get real money out. it's so incredibly absurd they usually think i'm just making poo poo up

yeah, this. i mean seriously they really, really don't get it and think it's got to be an exaggeration

but its all true. i guess cosby turning out to be a creepy rapist is weirdly appropriate considering he was lurking in the forum shadows, waiting, multiplying by force

well, people were buying MtGOX bitcoins for pennies on the dollar in the hope that they would eventually be recovered.

I mean, none of them got a dime, but maybe you'll buck the trend.
