Since @kiklos thread is locked, I want to relay from PMs that he had been undergoing very bad back pain, so that might be another reason he lashed out so aggressively, even though his angst was justifiable, I tried to point out to him that nobody cares that much that the forum is flawed, because we are all too busy making money speculating on altcoins while BTC also continues to rise. So economically, no one has an incentive to change what appears to be working for drawing in more newbies so all boats keep rising. I also suggested he consider barbell workouts for the holistic health benefits of HGH. @kiklo is 84 years old! I think Theymos should treat his elders with more respect! @kiklo is my elder as I am only a spring chicken at age 52. An 84 year old man that apparently coded his own altcoin impresses me.
Remember this. All of you millennials are going to be old someday, and then you will also have physical limitations/pains/fatigue, and wish that people will have some consideration for all that you've accomplished and worked hard for in your life. Or maybe y'all just all commit suicide because you're failed fantasies, dominated by the hard working Asians, and jaded attitude may make you all too depressed when you get old. What happened to being nice to old people? It made me feel good to show extra consideration to my grandparents and they were also very loving to me.
I think Theymos does not understand the older generation. We elders come from a time where word-of-honor and respecting each other was a paramount virtue. The younger Twitter generation has a more jaded and disposable view of family, tribe, and honor. The Millennials are the throw away generation. Many of them do not respect anyone and as @mprep demonstrated upthread, they do not respect production and want to cut everyone down in a crab bucket mentality just
for the lolz. I believe (not in every individual case of course but overall) the Asians (Chinese especially) are going to kick ass on the western Millennials, because they have stronger family values and want to accomplish something for their parents and community. Note however, there is some value in being flexible, doing the easiest things first (e.g. 1 line tweets), and not taking online crap too seriously. In that respect, we might expect Millennials to find the sweet spots of production. We elders need to also adapt.
I believe that is bullshit lies that Craig Wright is writing in Slack about Theymos and Cobra-Bitcoin being involved in cybercrime and botnets formerly for pharma spam, then mining, and now DDoS for hire. Theymos is between 25 (he said 21 on his AMA 4 years ago) and 26 (DOB on a doxx was 1991) years old. He got involved in Bitcoin because he heard something on 4chan. He works as a web programmer for the State Senate of Wisconsin. He is/was a CompSci student of University of Wisconsin at Madison. Sirus turned over his role in BCT and Bitcoin.org to an anonymous person Cobra-Bitcoin. Sirus says that he and Theymos only managed the domains and the domains are actually owned by someone Satoshi trusted. It is strikingly notable that Theymos has been annointed to have so much control over those two domains plus r/BTC. Me thinks Theymos knows many things he is not telling us. On his AMA, he ignored the question asking if he was involved somehow in the government with his role in Bitcoin. But I can only speculate.
