Who was the budding guitarist who refused to ever take lessons and expected to be as skilled as Hendrix in like, 6 months?

This honestly looks super photoshopped. It’s very believable to me that someone would have poor enough taste to get a table like this but this particular image just doesn’t look real.

I really hope you're right, that was the first thing in a long time to make me burst out with a "[sputter] WHAT?" on seeing it.

Always feels a bit surreal that one of the biggest events in my personal biography is basically single handedly taking down one of the biggest figures in Bitcoin before it became this loving horror show.

Like, I can't even tell people, just the rabbit hole of all of it...

edit: See, back in the early days of bitcoin, I was kind of famous on the internet for being a spoiled homosexual, anyways, I ruined the life of a gay prostitute who was involved in a giant mortgage fraud scheme before he became one of the most famous people involved in Bitcoin, before Bitcoin was a ~thing~.

I'm sorry to embarrass you like this but how the gently caress did you forget the true star of that show; the cell phone we spammed until it fell off the chair?

Hard to believe that was so long ago. There was another scammer in Korea that opened a fake school and kept trying to get me to meet up with him so he could prove he was an honorary police officer or some poo poo.

an admirer of both Bitcoin and Jesus for how close they are to perfection and freedom posted:

Bitcoin is an artwork of universal laws.

It seems that once it started, no one was going to stop it. The more it persists, the less one can stop it. The laws that bitcoin represents so marvelously, thus the design that is the fundament of its existence, transcends the conditions of time, so that any events related to it now depend on bitcoin and not the other way around. There is, in other words, no event that has more influence on bitcoin, than bitcoin itself. One day this will all be cleared among the common human thinking. For now, we say:

Bitcoin may be the human work closest to something divine, in other words, free from imperfections and relativity, after the work of Jesus Of Nazareth.

This is the destiny of those who work by faith and for things higher than times and people: to work outside of others’ understanding, sometimes one’s own understanding. To work knowing that no one fully understands now, possibly at the right moment in the future, and sometimes never. Thus regarding the work Satoshi have done, being human, they probably do not comprehend it fully in nature, nor do we do now, possibly in the future, maybe never. Surely the work of Jesus Of Nazareth, in the guise of Christ, one will never fully understand.

This is the great feat of human beings, to pursue something not by belief but by faith. And a great gift granted to us: that in doing the right thing we need not to know the full truth, but by virtue of knowledge and wisdom be close to it, and by virtue of faith have it in our heart.

Not just Hendrix-equivalent, but he actually quite literally thought that if he played guitar well enough he would spontaneously float into the air and blow our minds, ushering in world Goddamn peace. He posted this multiple times (instead of, idk, practicing his guitar). Also, since he was high 24/7 this dream never stopped as 99.999% of college weed-related fantasies do.

Here is my subreddit koolaide tier list:

S+ -> r/theppshow They talk mostly in codewords and have almost invented a language of only jargon with no conventional english left over. I think they're pretending to be ironic but secretly they're all double-ironic bag holders
A -> r/superstonk, mostly true believers with 1 in 10 posts coming across lucid. Since they mix in GME and other "blue chips" with their BBBY they're not in freefall as a community yet.
B -> r/gme is about a 50/50 mix of people making fun of them and people who buy dvds at gamestop to juice the stock somehow. Check this one out if you LOVE pictures of DVDs being bought.
D -> r/bbby is almost all trolls and people making fun of the last hold outs. "The shills have taken over" is a common refrain, but a core group believe they're going to be reissued stock in a new company (???) made from Ovestock or ToysRus, or Buybuy Baby depending on what day it is.
