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.

nooooooo complicity in the thing that I loathe! Truly there is no redemption in this world of sin.

Unfortunately my options are pay several thousand every month, break into veterinary clinics which might leave them short for emergency surgery and involves some (but probably less than you think, I've seen drug safes with wafer locks lmao) risk, or use the Cryptos and pay like 20 bucks a month.

I guess suicide is in there too but I'd like to see my nieces and nephews grow up so there's that.

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.
