it's obvious its a westerner

the name itself sounds a bit odd

its japanese but

He's probably canadian

seems more like someone who came up with a japanese name

Mr. Miyagi

I was there when the concept was created

I could've bought at 30 cents

he is obviously from an english speaking country not the united states

it was a weeb

that is 100% certain

I know for a fact it was just a weeb

why do you assume it was a weeb?

because I was there

there was a secret anonymous forum somewhere with some kind of free speech incryption software installed on it

it was run by libertarian types as a social experiment

it turned pretty weird pretty fast and had lots of unsavory types talking about all kinds of shit I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole

and eventually they started this spergy discussion on the nature of currency and on the attributes of gold that make it a good investment

or a good store of value

we he nick szabo?

and they got to brainstorming and since the whole site was built off of shady encryption software, they obviously had the minds sitting around to make it

I never got powerword

yeah it was prob that nick szabo guy but he isn't the bitcoiner

no, this directly evolved into btc

everyone called it stupid and they kept making this software and eventually one day it was "hay guise if you want in, buy them for 30c"

and I of course scoffed (stupid)

that's how I learned that in life it's best to listen to crazy people and ignore the responsible people

if I threw a G at it back then I could just casually have 8 million dollars right now

I'm guessing he's canadian

even $100 and I would have no student loans

that's why every year I throw a small percentage of my income at something that's the most insane gamble possible

never want to pass that up again

on that note, anyone who wants to make some money would be smart in the long run to buy Intuitive Surgical

as they are working tirelessly day and night to put fallot out of a job and replace him with a robot

I think it's funny that docs think their jobs are safe from automation

I bet the guys back in the old days doing the auctioneering crap at the old stock exchanges thought a robot could never do it too

lol prozak disapproves of my speculation

surely I am in the presence of not two but three investment experts?

always interesting how whenever the subject of money comes up everyone is so quick to tell me I am wrong but so slow to produce their superior financial plans

and here I am, making my return year after year

it's almost like I am surrounded by people whose opinions extend far beyond their actual knowledge and experience or something
