I'm trying to forget !@#$%^&* Tawsix.

That's too bad. I think that the first guy to come in and professionally con a bunch of natives will naturally be remembered as an archetype or forefather of some sort; and should be! While I lost quite a few coin to the fellow at a time when the exchange was high, I might have in some way been charmed into forgetting what the market is really about, had he not come along. It was a proper pirate maneuver, for all we know he went off to become the Dread Pirate Roberts.

The Twasix Shuffle should be immortalized. As per the less popular definition of the word "con:"

Overview of verb con The verb con has 2 senses (first 1 from tagged texts) 1. (1) victimize, swindle, rook, goldbrick, nobble, diddle, bunco, defraud, scam, mulct, gyp, gip, hornswoggle, short-change, con -- (deprive of by deceit; "He swindled me out of my inheritance"; "She defrauded the customers who trusted her"; "the cashier gypped me when he gave me too little change") 2. memorize, memorise, con, learn -- (commit to memory; learn by heart; "Have you memorized your lines for the play yet?")

As of this moment, I'm willing to put down 1BTC as a philanthropist over celebrating early realizations of recurring market mistakes. I'd prefer to see this done as an open sourced vector graphic. But until Nefario get's a proper "hot-seat" setup for executives in his market, I'm afraid I'm going to have to insist that the payment be held in escrow until "I'm Happy With It," and if we can get together a large enough collection of philanthropists together; we can tackle "art by committee" next!

I can see it now. "The Twasix Shuffle" -- Early 2015 Leninist Style ASIC Bitcoin Miner Artwork... --- The alternative is that this just remains the thread that never ends.

But server, if you absolutely insist on forgetting, then I have a very intriguing business proposal for you! Shocked
