I guess I'll give you points for being consistent: you're probably not simply 'anti Bitcoin', but against the larger development of excessive 'financialization' (through financial derivatives), right?

You bet.

Money is not real wealth, it is just a token that one can exchange for ~~real wealth~~ things and stuff.

Real wealth is something that most of the "intellectual powerhouses" here will never understand or have; they are too busy obsessing over accumulating stuff and things, measuring themselves against illusions and performing in a loaded game.

+1

real wealth is knowledge.

all other things are...well...things.

That's so fucking profound. Thanks for that original and enlightening thought.
I'm curious what YOU measure yourself against and how you think you're doing. Don't say you don't do it. All that would mean is you have no interest in self improvement.

Tell me, oh wisetits, how should I measure myself?

From the top of the base to the tip? I think anything else is cheating.

LOL. I actually do know some women who are worth listening to on occasion, but the ones that want attention the most are almost never the ones who deserve it. TERA comes to mind. Anybody know what happened to her?

Recognised that this thing was going down (she was a very good trader) and sold ages ago higher and moved onto other things while you hold your bag?
