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.

Choice quote:

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.

ah. do make a case for ethical cryptocurreny investment then, would you kindly?

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com -3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

most actions are amoral. some are immoral, few are moral duties. i don't see any reason it shouldn't be amoral.

“make a case for ethical cryptocurrency investment then, would you kindly?”

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com -3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

the burden of proof is on you to make the case that it isn't, like almost all actions, amoral.

@mawhrin @commie on a scale from 1 to This Guy, how over-leveraged are you in Worthless Crypto?

[–] mawhrin@awful.systems 4 points 2 years ago

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com -2 points 2 years ago
