But much like the coke heads I've known through out the years, you all have an overblown sense of self and can't seem to shut the fuck up and listen for a second... so maybe that's where you're coming from?
- Crito 13y agoIf you read the other comments I have made today, you'll see that I am not particularly "bullish" on bitcoin... Anyway, I don't think you have understood the comment you just responded to. My point is that you have crossed your "morality/right" and "capability" wires. Stating that "you cannot stop the cocaine trade" is not making a statement about the virtue of cocaine, or stating that pro-cocaine conferences or startups are a good idea. These are entirely orthogonal concepts. You can be very anti-cocaine while still recognizing that cocaine cannot be eliminated. In other words, if there were lots of pro-cocaine conferences and cocaine peddling startups, the statement "cocaine cannot be eliminated" would not be any less true. That statement is a statement about the nature of law enforcement in a free society; not a statement on the morality or virtues of cocaine.
