Then why did you cite a source that doesn’t claim that the CIA was supporting the right wingers?
- Comment on YouTuber Faces Possible Jail Time for Reviewing Gaming Handhelds 4 days ago:
So, do you have any actual evidence that the CIA got involved in the years of lead? Or are you seriously trying to tell me that the Red Brigades were CIA puppets?

Reading through the article it appears that the group that carried out the most assassination was the Brigado Rosso, or Red Brigades. Interestingly, they also killed a prominent politician of the Christian Democrats, Aldo Moro, who was actively looking into working with the communist party, and his assassination killed his party’s plans to work with the Communist Party.
The CIA appears to have been involved only marginally, being mentioned only only at one point where fascists ask them if the USA would theoretically support a coup. (Technically they’re also mentioned in the list of parties involved in the conflict, as alleged supporters of the fascists). While this doesn’t prove that they weren’t involved, I did expect there to be more proven CIA meddling based on your earlier claims.
It appears that the CIA wasn’t to blame for the leftist’s. In fact, it seems like the Marxist-Leninist Red Brigades killed people until they had no allies left, thus being unable to sustain their campaign of assassinations. So, yeah, basically your source completely undermines your position.

It’s not really passive income, though. You have to get people in there and interview them. Even if you just spend 10 minutes per applicant, that’s already 600 minutes, or 10 hours. So yes, this is a decent hourly wage, at least until word gets around about what you’re doing, which it will, because what kind of job interview is done in 10 minutes? Not one where you actually have a chance.
And yes, I do realize this post is most likely a joke. Still fun to reply to, though.

Apparently some artificial sweeteners can act as a laxative. So effectively, those gummy bears were strong laxatives, leading to anybody who eats one to have to spend a long time on the toilet.

What I mean is, there’s nothing we could do if the aliens did that to us.
- Comment on Anyone else 1 month ago:
Probably not. Just being capable of interstellar spaceflight opens up some really nice ways to kill a lot of people, such as redirecting asteroids. Or just drop nuclear bombs from orbit. Nothing we could do. Also, what if the aliens show up with more soldiers than we have people?

I’m pretty sure an Orangutan could lift a human, though.
- Comment on Anon is a fighter 2 months ago:
I have this theory that with proper technique, you can beat anything you can lift in a fight. That being said, Gorillas are too heavy to lift. Conversely, you’ll likely have extreme difficulty fighting anything that’s too heavy for you to lift. Anything with natural weapons, like sharp teeth, this rule of thumb likely also doesn’t apply to. Anything larger than a cat should be considered dangerous by default.

How are you Americans holding up? I heard the ministry of plenty has increased the chocolate ration from 50 grams a month to 40 grams a month. A 25% increase. Careful, I heard East Asia, who you’ve always been at war with is predicted to increase missile attacks. At least the end of the war is in sight. Then you can celebrate your victory over Eurasia, who you’ve always been at war with.

If they are dumping their bags now, which SHOULD make them criminals, what were they when they bought those bags? You make zero sense.
They’re using their influence on the government to enrich themselves. Textbook corruption. Shouldn’t be surprised that you don’t understand that.
Node runners showed miners who is in control in 2017, and they will happily do so again.
Node runners gained a victory so grand in 2017, that it can’t be spoken aloud, for the heavens would cave in under such splendor.
That’s cute, previously you pretended that only onchain exists, and now you’re a lightning expert, an expert who is unable to run a well connected node. Okay.
Are those ‘well connected nodes’ in the room with us right now?
- Comment on Anon gives up on Bitcoin in 2010 5 months ago:
Are the senators and state legislators who advocate for bitcoin strategic reserves all criminals? You don’t know what you’re talking about.
They’re trying to dump their bags on the US government. Is it illegal? Sadly no. Should it be? Yes.
A fork will never be considered bitcoin by my bitcoin node,
Your opinion won’t matter. You don’t own an exchange, you aren’t a major bitcoin miner, and you’re not a platform landlord or newspaper editor.
and nobody who runs a bitcoin node is incentivized to increase the limit on bitcoin as it would only devalue their bitcoin. Again, you don’t seem to understand even basic concepts about bitcoin.
The people I mentioned above don’t want Bitcoin, they want actual money. If devaluing Bitcoin will let them get more money, they’ll do it in a heartbeat.
Oh my, you’re stuck in a narrative from 2017. Again, you don’t know anything about bitcoin or the lightning network.
To make an analogy for the lightning network, imagine each time you made a credit card payment, you have a to roll a die, and only if it comes up as a six, your payment goes through.

Not useful to law abiding citizens, exactly. There’s plenty of people who are not law abiding citizens.
The scarcity is debatable because of forks. When a coin forks, then people need to settle which of the forks is the legitimate coin, and which one is the fork. There are several institutions and people who have influence over this discussion: Miners (They decide which fork to mine on), Exchanges (They decide who gets the old name and ticker symbol), platform landlords (they have significant ability to steer discourse), media (see previous). If enough of those came together, and decided that there should be 21 trillion bitcoin instead of 21 million, then there will soon be 21 trillion bitcoin.
While my example is far fetched, crypto currencies being forked to subvert their rules has already happened. For example, the ethereum/ethereum classic fork. The Ethereum blockchain got forked to roll back the hack of the DAO. Nothing the Hackers did violated Ethereum’s protocol, meaning that technically, they did nothing wrong. An example of a political decision which is harmful to the long term utility of the crypto currency would be the Bitcoin/Bitcoin cash fork. Bitcoin has a block size limit, which leads to a transaction limit of 7 transactions per second. This limit absolutely ruins Bitcoin’s potential utility, because even relatively small economies would be utterly choked with a 7 transaction limit. Still, miners profit from a tight transaction limit, and other institutions aren’t bothered by it, so they decided that the fork with the transaction limit was the legitimate one.
In conclusion, the 21 million bitcoin limit will remain as long as it is useful to the influential figures in the bitcoin ecosystem. See above for a rough listing of who those people are.

Bitcoin is a purely speculative asset. It has potential the same way a lottery ticket does.

Bitcoin is not useful, and its scarcity is debatable.
