    Thank goodness you are banned. Now we don't have to see you talk to yourself in the thread anymore.

    Thanks. I was going to post in this thread just to see if he would respond to make sure.

    Good riddance. Haha, it was my post that sent him into making a derogatory statement, that led to the inevitable ban. Youre welcome Clutchfans. :grin:

    He ragequit a few weeks ago only to come back and get banned.

    Singlehandedly proved that potheads can have anger management issues.

    He raged at me because I said I didnt smoke a while back. Dudes entire life is focused on weed and bitcoin. Very sad. Not to say there is anything wrong with either but the tunnel vision posts got annoying.

    Too bad hes just going to make a new account like GlenRice and Jopat did.

    ^^ Don't forget about danang78 and his new name colt45nyc or whatever it is.

    And I agree. Nothing wrong with smoking a bowl man. But you said it best, his tunnel vision was pathetic.

    dude has a mental issue. I started to feel bad for him. For some reason he reminded me of Hanzi from the Howard Stern show.

    It was hilarious how he said ponzi schemes were legitimate but didn't work for him.

    Then he put his money into bitcoin. Bitcoin is legitimate but he shouldn't put all his money in there

    yeah, if you have to wait for your next paycheck so you can buy more bitcoin...maybe you should be prioritizing differently.

    That's not a good thing. You're creating a deflationary cycle which is inherit to the model of bitcoin since there are only a fixed number of bitcoins and the number of coins mined will always shrink.

    Even the gold standard wasn't this locked down. Currencies dont work if you have no incentive to use your money (since its increasing in value almost perpetually)

    Great! Enjoy recreating the Japanese Yen of the last decade. That went swimmingly well for Japan. Their economy is just magical thanks to their awesome deflating currency.
