my latest tactic for idiots who try to tell me what bitcoin is or isn't or simply people I don't really like ... I try to talk them into buying altcoins, especially ether and ripples tokens, give it the good old pump.

them: what do you think is going on with bitcoin, is it going up?

me: ah, i don't know it's a volatile market anything can happen.

them: should I buy some now or I've missed the boat and have you heard about ether/ripple/litecoin/eos?

me(triggered): yeah you should definitely buy lots of ether, it's the best thing out, once in a lifetime opportunity! (unsaid :to lose all your life savings) ...


... so sick of people asking about crypto and then talking about "blockchain" or shitcoins. Shitcoin scams in our time is a bigger net loser than Mt. Gox, whose customers will actually be made whole in fiat.
