A libertarian ancap professor and fervent crypto advocate was teaching a class on Satoshi Nakamoto, known ancap “Before the class begins, you must worship Satoshi by posting a "Minister you Satoshi" thread and accept that he was the most highly-evolved economic being the world has ever known, even greater than the Jews!”
At this moment, a brave, no-coiner FUDer who had missed over 1500 dips and understood that Bitcoin is a ponzi bubble and fully supported all banks stood up and held up a crypto coin
“Whose coin is this?”
The arrogant professor smirked quite Hoppe-ishly and smugly replied “It's mine, you stupid banker, the code says so”
“Wrong. If code, as you say, is law… then it's mine now that I've hacked it”
The professor was visibly shaken, and dropped his chalk and copy of Bitcoin's blockchain. He stormed out of the room crying those ancap crypto crocodile tears. The same tears crypto traders cry when their shitcoin doesn't moon. There is no doubt that at this point our professor, Sergey Vitalik, wished he could contact the Bitcoin to have his coins back, but he himself had fought against all form of centralization that would make such a thing possible!
The students applauded and all switched to fiat that day and accepted the Federal Reserve as their lords and saviors. An eagle named “Fractional Reserve Banking” flew into the room and perched atop the Bildeberg Flag and shed a tear on the chalk. The Federal Reserve Act was read several times, and Mayer Amschel Rothschild himself showed up and manipulated the economy as he pleased.
The professor lost his tenure and was JUST'd the next day. He died in the upcoming Bitcoin crash and all his wallets were destroyed.

I decided just yesterday to start mining. My balance was at $2.30, now it's $0. What could have been.

Hunter Brooks
I lost $160 worth. Cost me fuckin $70 electricity too. Fucker.
Caleb Lewis
Lost about $50 but no big deal. Definitely sucks for the people who lost it all from months/years of mining. Idiots for keeping it there though.
Not sure why Nicehash would cut and run when they have such a profitable and booming business established.
Matthew Sullivan
They realized they could live many wealthy lives with that money.
Juan Green
Fucking underrated
Elijah Mitchell

David Jones
Hey I was pulling in ~$10/day mining while away at work.
Hudson Walker
I was split about TZC, ELLA and ETP. Went with ETP in the end
Jackson Russell
It's not as efficient but you still get decent hash rates. It's not as though you can't mine with nvidia.
I'm at around 2kh/s with 10 570 / 580 FERMI cards. running off solar.
Colton Thomas
So is it safe to assume that I just lost 0.0075 BTC (over $100)? I was mining to an external wallet but still had an unpaid balance.
Bentley Baker
It's always 6 million huh
Easton Robinson
99.9% yes
I have some optimism due to it being nearly christmas
Elijah Lee
YOU OWE ME 50 BUCKS MFERS!
Justin Russell
Maybe they only stole from the internal wallets and not the unpaid balances.
[spoiler]But I doubt that because this was an inside job.[/spoiler]
