I frikin love the game that is bitcoin… anyone can play and if you want to play by your own rules go right ahead and trundle off and play your own rules… by yourself… however if you wanna play with everyone else and be part of something truly frikin amazing and transformational, stick to the few simple rules and otherwise do what you want with your life… #simplelifesimpleproblems

Firstly some meddling busy bodies attack supermarkets, purely for political gain, for a duopoly saying they are gouging consumers (in NZ they profit approximately ~$1 per person per day). Then the unions start to get up in arms, purely for political reasons, about the harm to workers that restructuring will cause to workers. #c2ts #fuckihatecommunists
