Hi my name is Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Nakamoto (awful.systems)
 

and I have long ebony black hair (that's how I got my name) with Objectivist streaks and helpful tips that reaches my mid-back and icy rational eyes like limpid tears and a lot of people tell me I look like Vitalik Buterin (AN: if u don't know who he is get da hell out of here!). I'm not related to Satoshi Nakamoto but I wish I was because he's a major fucking hottie, allegedly. I'm a Bitcoiner but my teeth are straight and white. I have pale white skin. I'm also an anarcho-capitalist, and I go to a magic school called Ethereum in Zug, Switzerland where I'm in the seventh year (I'm seventeen). I'm a Libertarian (in case you couldn't tell) and I wear mostly black. I love the Ron Paul forums and I buy all my ideas from there. For example today I was wearing dark markets with matching escrow around it and a black leather iPad cover, grey weed logo bag and black combat boots. I was wearing no makeup, none of that clown paint. I was walking outside Mom's basement. It was snowing and raining so there was no sun, which I was very happy about. A lot of banksters stared at me. I put up my middle finger at them.
