"I'd like to see if you'd meet up at ETH Buenos Aires so we can talk about a partnership between WorldCoin and Bitcoin."
OK that's my mic drop. Swear on my mother's life these words were spoken. As we were leaving the bar heading outside. It was the cherry on the sundae.
lmao, did you tell him you were the "CEO of Bitcoin"?

I was really nice and let it slide because social norms. Also when I drink I turn into a human golden retriever and just want to be everyone's friend.
This was, by far, the most peak-clown world experience of my life. Mind you, I met Joseph Lubin once, so there's that. Also met Hoskinson...what a weirdo.

Hahahaha. Like me, same here. Some copas de vino and I immediately start diffusing into the wall of total tolerance, loosing any kind of cynism and fighting spirit.

As a 47yo who spent most of the time since 21 drinking more than a litre of alcohol a day, it is really worth it to stop, the shit just kills you one millimetre at a time until all your organs fail. I developed severe B1 deficiency and started to lose my vision.
And honestly, people like this... It would be like I met Buterin in person, my eyes would bug out, and I'd be like, "I've gotta go to the toilet". kthxbye.
You are wisely submissive just as I am wisely evasive. These people are walking poison. Their whole being is false.

We're nearly the same age. You're right. Thankfully my spanish wife always keeps an eye on the germanic barbarian and transforms me step by step into a mediterranian civilized human being.

Yeah, realising that nicotine made me more likely to be submissive was a huge revelation for me, end of 2021 it dawned. The equation Nicotine = Slavery was thus baked into my mind and will never be unbaked.
The alcohol just too many things to mention that it screws up. Thirst, decreasing digestive efficiency, poisoning the elimination organs, and depleating critical nutrients.
And then for both, so much money on taxes that we are paying to poison ourselves. Madness.
