Is this the same guy who complained about the luxury in my summit...? Roll Eyes

What was the talk about the speck...

No - to be specific, this is the same guy who complained about the conspicuous display of luxury, specifically one that I found inconsistent with a commensurate conspicuous display of organization, planning, and business value associated with the event. There is a profound difference, and always another chance to get it right!

PSY: Ive heard it said that Gangnam is the Beverly Hills of Korea. But I would say that Gangnam is the capital of Seoul, which, of course, is the capital of Korea. People who are actually from Gangnam never proclaim that they are -- its only the posers and wannabes that put on these airs and say that they are "Gangnam Style" -- so this song is actually poking fun at those kinds of people who are trying so hard to be something that theyre not.

Yes, the most I enjoy when I do it quietly. But I am now assigned to be the forum troll, and I like it. I ate whitefish tartar with seafood and cauliflower puree, and filtered water for appetizer. Then I came back to the forum for some more trolling. Then I continued with snails á la Haikko, oven-fresh bread, chardonnay and more filtered water. And now I'm back trolling. This is my work, my private life is not for sale.

If mine is not the best-organized bitcoin conference ever, I promise to sell 1000 bitcoins!

Wow we are all so jealous of your success and fancy food. Filtered water hard to come by in your country? LOL.

Honestly seeing you flaunt it like this makes me want BTC to crash hard to the ground (not really though because I do own bitcoin). You are a great example of 'new money'. You got lucky (call it what you want but there is certainly a degree of luck involved in BTC) and now have more money than you ever imagined. The years spent looking up to people who had a little more makes you feel the need to outdo them and post about it here. This over-extravagance is pretty cliche for a newly rich person.

Pride before the fall much?
