Exit scam is just standard procedure in crypto land
I'd normally never support such pettiness from trademark holders and whatnot. But I'd seriously like the Tolkien estate to do something really funny.
I think it’s genuinely baffling they’ve allowed him to keep doing this
Sue this fucking ghoul for defamation (or whatever the company equivalent would be)
Like put a hit out on peter thiel would be vvv fummy
ugh 
i thought i would never say this but read another book you bloodless ghouls, fuck
They did and it's going to be named Gringott's now 
Naming real life shit after a fantasy book is so lame. Look at my gym bro, I call it ellesar, elven stone, king of the united kingdom of arnor and gondor.
naming his rockets after ships in the Culture series is a very 
moment too
Kill all LOTR nerds, NOW
I am pretty sure most LOTR nerds don't side with the villains.
As a LOTR nerd, if it must be done, it must be done
thank you for your sacrifice
Most of them are super irritating. Calling Tolkien 'The Professor' or titling a reddit thread like its a thesis chapter. Instead of Did Balrogs Have Wings they will write Of Balrogs and Wings: A Discussion on Metapjor
We were too hard on potterheads I fear
I mean he already has an evil surveillance company named after the evil surveillance orb, this is on brand
The orbs are neutral and are more like Skype
Skype that can turn a wise favourite playing father into a crazy tomato eating favourite playing father... well I guess regular Skype can also do that
Its just cause the only guy who's always online is also evil
So like Skype.
Definitely more similar than different
the nerds have gotten entirely too powerful in this country. the jocks have really let us down
Tolkien is spinning in his grave so hard I'm surprised he hasn't tunnelled out the other side of the planet yet
he probably got stuck in middle earth (if you don't know middle eatrh is a land in the middle of earth as in a hallow earth)
that dipshit on the right is the 'if you die in the matrix you die IRL' guy?
What a fucking loser.
Yeah, and you may remember back during Trump's first run he tried to AstroTurf a "grassroots" right wing propaganda movement on reddit. Dude didn't even bother starting a network of think-tanks to launder his views through. SMH.
did anybody else watch that AMC anthology series "The Terror". the first season is a fictional/dramatic account if an ill fated voyage in the 1840s to find the northwest passage which failed and i think has only been partially recovered in recent years.
anyway, it had two ships full of dudes trying to penetrate an environment extremely hostile to human life: darkness that can last for weeks, extreme cold.
what do they name their ships, literally IRL:
HMS Terror (wtf) HMS Erebus (the greek god/personification of "darkness", sometimes thought to be a son of Chaos or Time, depending on the author).
im not superstitious, but GREAT WORK, GUYS.
thiel had his sidepiece killed for embarrassing him
They don't care
I think you are giving crypto bors too much credit. The entire industry is literally built on exploiting other people (and that'strue for most industries under capitalism) but in crypot it's in a far more direct often scamming way. Anyone who's a crypto bro at this point in time does not care aboiut morals or ethics cause if tehy did they woudln't be a crypto bro. I doubt many of them think they are the good guys at best they are moral nihilists. It's definitley not that htey are too sucked into realize this person calling themselve sevil. or doing evil things. it's more that htey care more about money than they do of morals.

Nerds in high schools really are just temporarily embarrassed jocks.
