Though he later secured a loan to finish college, Daniel [a pseudonym] resorted for a time to credit card fraud to replace the stolen funds, telling himself that no harm would come to the individual card owners, who were insured.

Quick, someone explain to this guy how insurance premiums work. The cost is always passed down to the consumer, one way or another

Running a red light in the middle of nowhere with no traffic is a victimless crime.

Intentionally causing additional monetary damages on someone is not. Even if the cardholders didn’t have to pay for his fraud, somebody has to.

Running a red light is not a victimless crime. You will condition yourself to run red lights when you think there is no one is there. This will lead to you hitting and killing a pedestrian that you didn’t see. Be an adult and just wait the 30 seconds for the light to change. Why risk it? #FUCKCARS

Exchanges are akin to public toilets. Get in, do your business and get the fuck out. You wouldn’t hang around in a public toilet, so don’t keep your money on an exchange. Especially don’t be dumb enough to keep your money on a centralized exchange.

I’ve just been saying what the world most needs now is a bunch of fucking morons with lots of money. Things aren’t nearly ignorant enough.

You think this will make much difference? It’s not like the current morons with money are doing a bang-up job.

There is always the same amount of wealth, it’s just been transferred from already rich people to dudes that were poor before
