Somehow being stupid and wrong is more defensible than being smart and wrong. I think it's because the stupid and wrong can play victims. Therefore, if your goal is to be a nuisance, argue a stupid position baiting your enemy into annoyance and insults, then you can gather support by pointing out how cruel your opponent is. They wouldn't be this cruel and upset unless they were wrong or hiding something.

reply

Being stupid and wrong in a manner deliberate and designed to evade the truth and confound reasoned argument which would expose ones hypocrisy is a powerful strategy often used.
It can provoke a hostile emotive response and make the recipient as a result look defensive and weak.
But it also exposes the perpetrators inability to defend and argue their position from a position of fact based reason.
Thier deliberate stupidity is designed to divert and confound discovery of the truth...and to even ridicule the process of such discovery.
It is in large part the weakness and bias of the observers of such a dialogue tolerating such manipulation that gives the troll a chance of appearing the victor even while they are inherently compromised.

reply

If someone does it on purpose they're not being stupid tho, they're playing stupid.

I know people that are stupid and often wrong. I forgive them the same way I forgive smart people that are wrong.

Unfortunately, I also know a lot of people that fake it, then bait you, then stab you right through the eye and finally feast on the remains of what their bubble thinks was your reputation. It's mostly troublesome when people with large bubbles do this, or when your boss is in their bubble.

Have fun being infiltrated by this NSA mole.

Thank you.

I didn't imagine that comment being of pedagogical value much but perhaps it is. I don't really think I was taught this as a kid. To my memory it was more like: "someone is wrong then they apologize then you accept their apology and you move on". Which isn't the same thing because it's reactive vs proactive, I guess.

Hahaha, I was just reading your comments here. If you ever plan to expand into Latin America, count me in... I think the most important thing, and the biggest problem, is the authenticity of the items; that's the most complicated part. But we can think about that later. For now, I'll keep collecting your coins over there. 😁

yeah not much in the way of US coinage right now. I'll have to acquire some for plunda!

There may also be a few in the coin backlog, I'll have a look!

but I'll need to start buying more coins in a few months anyway once the existing coin backlog is all listed.

have already done a little recon around Barcelona to scout out the collectibles scene. there's quite a lot of action here, so I'll see if i can find some.

reply

Thanks. What about more recent releases like the Trump pure silver coin? Or will Plunda only be used for antique coins?

I know the value can really skyrocket if you start to list golden eagles and other solid gold coin collections

reply

modern stuff is for sure a cool idea. the process might be a bit different for photographing them though, because they're often sealed in plastic cases.

and definitely wanna get some higher value stuff on there yeah, it'll have to wait a lil while tho. I've got like 3 gold coins i need to list but they're not stashed here in Barcelona yet so i can't get em online for a few months. one of them is actually a US gold five dollar from like early 1900. it's a beautiful coin.

I think it's good to keep the values a little lower until the platform has matured a bit and there are more security checks in place.

reply

Indeed!! I was just curious if I could ever list my own physical coins for sale.

Coin of the Day:

reply

My son has been clamouring to feed animals at the zoo. So, this morning, I remembered his incessant pestering and switched on my laptop to reserve tickets for a visit that we planned to undertake a month later on National Day. I wouldn’t be surprised if all the feeding slots had already been booked, but the Universe was on my side. Managed to book one white rhino feeding session and another elephant feeding session. So as not to sow discord between my two kids. Patting myself on the shoulder for having the headspace and emotional capacity to book my tickets early!

reply

This made me chuckle:

Senator Graham suffered from chest pains and was rushed to the hospital after returning home from his trip to Ukraine yesterday where he went into cardiac arrest and passed.
"Graham died doing what he loved. Promoting wars and funding the death of millions. He is survived by defense contractors and DARPA."
