If Iran announced they'd accept bitcoin for oil, it would make things interesting. Bitoin would go way up in value while giving all other countries willing a way to buy oil.
I've been here since the get-go, from Bret's place, with you and Chrissy. (Stand Opposed, that everyone abbreviated as SO, hence, Esso.)
Yes, I think Chrissy tipped me off on the connection. Long ago, in fact.
You are the only fellah that I'm aware that had the stones to bail from the usa.
Well, it's easier when you don't have any anchors holding you down in the USA. I sure didn't.
Thanks for taking over for Chrissy, I'm sure that was a huge burden on Christine and Bill. You're a big man, with a big responsibility. Thank YOU!
It's not such a big responsibility these days. I generally don't have to tell anyone anything. Well, not even "generally". I almost never moderate anything, and there are no spats, much less spats that require intervention. 4um is much smaller at this time than it was in its prime, the reason of course being social media like FB, twitter and whatever else pulling people away. Hell, people on FB are pretty much sick of politics for the most part as you can get (and give) massive doses of politics there daily.
But... major social media is growing in censorship rules, so maybe that will provide an attraction that could bring people back. The lack of advertisements is certainly an advantage as FB's got a crapload in it, of course.
Zuckerborg agreed to allow China to censor FB just so he could get access to the markets over there. I wonder how things are shaping up considering China will not allow people to read the NY Times? LOL

Apparently both Zuckerberg and the Chinese Communist Party share the same philosophy that people should not be free to think whatever their conscience directs. We see that clearly enough with FB's "fact checker" thing that sometimes puts uninvited links after stories linked by members to their walls/timelines or whatever the hell they are called. No Anti-vax info. I guess LGBWYFENSX advocacy will be required soon, if it isn't already, and flat earth will be next, and an official corporate position on evolution/creationism after that. So glad we have a mega corp filling hthe very needed role of divine oracle for all humanity. It makes live so much less complicated.
