Still got some bottles? Then I'd be happy for a pic.

If you have time, you should Netflix "SOMM" - an awesome documentary about tasting wine.

Wow, nicely done.

Which event?

Well done!

I wish I had a similar story, but I was satisfied to let my cashless Vegas trip in June be the sign I needed to give up.

Congrats spurs!

Thanks guys, it was the medium FLO8 ($109) so not a life-changing sum.

Is burning man a cool festival of alternative ideas, or a bunch of smug rich hypocrites & models getting stoned and patting themselves on the back for being all cooperative for the one week a year they aren’t rapaciously trying to hoodwink the rest of us peons?

Never been but seems closer to the latter.

I wasn't aware that there was a pretense behind the stonerfest.

Does someone have experience with different cryptocurrencies?

My entire knowledge of burning man is from a friend of mine that went there, smoked what he thought was pot (possibly for the very first time) and ending up getting picked up off the ground by the medical staff in a hallucinagenic state somwhere in the middle of the desert.

50 days until I go to Vegas!

Willi, I had a bit but it's much like the stock market. Buy broadly and invest only what you can lose. It's likely a decent long term play but will be highly volatile in the short term. *

Duck, you're wasting your money, but as long as you're happy, who cares. **

Congrats spurs. ***

I do not plan to invest. It is new thing in Estonia and one of my colleagues need help with some tehnical/background information for a project. I PMed housenuts and hopefully he can help with some of the stuff.

I look forward to the day when I can add some EsCoin to a portfolio of potcoin, bitcorn and lol etherium

Also belated congrats spurs and lol bloo

Burning man, the festival, used to be almost entirely the former. Recently, due to social media and growing popularity, its started to become more of the latter. The real burners camp; the rich fly in on private planes and stay in air conditioned campers with showers and toilets. I've heard its very easy to tell the difference between the two groups because the wealthy are extremely inept and uncomfortable with the 'no money, only gifts/trade' aspect of the festivities.

There's a huge community of burners in Las Vegas, and I used to live next to a couple who went every year. I never went, but they did throw a lot of events in town that I'd go to. These will be all real burners, so its a lot of artsy stuff and new age crap. They throw the best parties though. Like, the best.

Both Somm and Somm: Into The Bottle were fantastic documentaries IMO.

All I know about Burning Man is that a friend from high school who is a photographer/dj/MIT scientist takes some cool pictures of it.

Also, grats spurs.

you don't have any titcoin?!

in the politics thread they are talking about corey booker, but they keep saying "booker"

Nice, and you are a former winner as well.. Kudos!!
