The mountain of shit theory

Uriel Fanelli's blog in English

Fediverse

Profanar la Tumba, to the rhythm of the Rumba

I didn't know how to title this post, so I used a verse from Norwegian Raggaeton. I do this because I don't normally get into silly debates that don't concern me so much. For example, I don't go into linux distro-war. I don't give a shit if you use Gnome , KDE or XFCE, so neither do the Linux Desktop Wars. I don't care what you eat, I don't care what T-shirt you wear, what music you listen to, etc. WHENEVER YOU REALLY BELIEVE THERE ARE POWERFUL THINGS.

What do I mean? If you like to eat only vegetables, go ahead. My odds of coming across a good steak have increased. Why should I be against?

The problem comes when your narcissism leads you to think that you will save the planet because you have chosen to eat vegetables. No, it won't. No, becoming the cow you refuse to eat is not going to change the ecosystem. No, it doesn't matter shit, and therefore it doesn't matter shit what you eat.

When you tell me you're going to change the world because you refuse to, like, wear a bra, or shave your armpits, or whatever females do, you're just mentally ill . The fate of the world does NOT depend on these things. Of all the great queens who changed history, you never read whether or not they changed the world with shaved armpits or free boobs. It's not relevant. You will read about their decisions. We will never know if Marie Curie had shaved armpits. We only know that from a certain point on they were radioactive, I'll grant you that. But YOUR armpits, nobody gives a shit, and they don't change a thing at all.

Likewise, I don't participate in crypto wars, just like I don't participate in distro wars.

I know there is a religious war on crypto. And therefore, as soon as you mention “blockchain” the crypto fanatics will arrive on the one hand, and the no-coiners on the other.

Do you want to believe that you will change the world of finance because you keep your money in a wallet and not in the bank, or in the post office, or under the bed? Go ahead. Just as you will change the ecosystem by eating salad. Just as you will change society by not shaving your armpits. I'm sure. Go ahead and good luck.

But the blockchain is a technology, as such it is neutral, and it can happen that it becomes interesting for people who are not interested in your foreskin crusaders.

And said as it must be said, when there are entities around, like Blackrock, which owns more assets than the EU's GDP, nobody gives a shit about your "wallets" and your "whales". You will not change our finances. In that context your wallets are dust, and your whales aren't even lice. Even Musk, compared to a Blackrock, is microscopic.


Well, in the last post I said some things, and so open up, the two churches (pro-crypto and no-crypto) are interested in a blog, which normally doesn't give a shit about.

And they do it by "artfully misunderstanding" what I write, dedicating themselves to the details and all the bullshit that the chicken plucking charlatans OF BOTH FACTIONS are used to doing.

So, since you pretend not to understand, or rather to be stupid, now I treat you as stupid who don't understand. In the last post I said that:

  1. Such a crusade, in a country like the US that tolerates opaque trusts, that tolerates things like OTR derivatives, and so on, is rather atypical.
  2. A court that explains to the SEC what securities are, which the SEC deals with as the highest authority, is at least unusual or extravagant. WHATEVER he says.
  3. The fact that dozens and dozens of players decide, without a legal basis, to use the Ripple blockchain is really unusual.
  4. My PERSONAL explanation of 1,2 is that for some reason the SEC is pursuing the goal of keeping blockchains out of the US and out of the banking system.
  5. My PERSONAL explanation is that, as they have shown in various bank data transparency agreements, the US fears such transparency and wants to protect their banking secrecy.

If you want to buy XRP for your wallet because you're hoping for a mooning, that's your business. And I repeated it twice. I don't give a fuck how you invest the pennies you own, nobody gives a fuck, and it doesn't change a fucking thing.

That said, ALL other details are details, and therefore are the realm of faction clash. ANY sentence is full of quibbles and useless details, just like any woman wears a bra or not, shaves her armpits or not, and so on.

And yes, when there is a clash of religions the details are EVERYTHING, because in a religion the priests make their money EXACTLY on the details.

So, if you shit with the details, for me you are among the priests.

But as I said, I don't participate in these kinds of holy wars.
