At least 3/4 of those images could be posted to r/SurrealMemes.

His writing style is horrid.

Have you ever considered stand-up? I'm very much enjoying the notes of angry George Carlin here. PS: loved the book!

When is bitcoin going to go away?

sadly its derivatives are gonna stick around for a long time. it's real convenient for moving dirty money around. a lotta techno-scammers are still using it to grift marks as well, the speculative aspect is just a big pyramid scheme, idk how long that's gonna last... but cults can last a very long time

You... wanna explain that, or... ? Hey, did you ever find those non-athletic shorts? I'm dying to know.

Oh god, it’s barely even readable. Why do I do this to myself?

when the whole book of this is out, Sandifer and I have resigned ourselves to writing it up, as iiterally the two most qualified people in the world to do so

Huh, so he finished his writings on Bitcoin. I forgot about that I just remembered reading his prologue. Part of why I somewhat put off getting Fanged Noumena was because I knew he was till writing stuff

oh no no, he's not *finished*. This is just chapter one.
