Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Actually I feel violated.

It's a KYC interview, not a police interrogation. I've always enjoyed KYC interviews; I get to talk about my business plans, or what I'm going to do with my loan, or how I ended up buying/selling stocks. It's hard to empathize with somebody who feels "violated" by small talk.

I was merely replying to this part

seriously though please stop speculating using my ketamine coins? I just want to treat my depression

Without the speculators you might as well try and buy your ketamine with Monopoly money.

No need to get defensive. If you gotta buy Monero to medicate yourself that's a failure of the system.

I'm not defensive I think it's all hilarious.

And not quite, I used it quite a lot in the early days when it cost a few hundred to do anything and we were giving them out for free. Speculators came in much later, they were still useful when a bitcoin was like 1 us cent.

Quite funny really.
