There are multiple reasons someone may think themselves less pathetic than the rest of the human race. This is usually due to the following reasons:

    They are thinner than you
    They have larger breasts than you
    They are dragons
    They hate fags more than you
    They are more conservative than you
    They are more liberal than you
    They are gayer than you
    They eat moar placentas than you
    They have more artistic talent than you
    They have more pageviews on deviantart than you
    They know of things you've probably never even heard of before
    They are more straight edge than you
    They are moar special than you
    They are more batshit insane than you (see Insanity Wolf)
    They believe in God less than you
    They believe in God more than you
    They belong to an oppressed fandom that is not a choice
    They drink more blood than you
    They value The Truth more than being liked
    They are cooler than you
    They have an older religion than you
    They know that nobody's perfect and they've got to work it again and again until they get it right
    They know that the above reason is complete faggotry, and you don't.
    They have more venereal diseases than you
    They use more transitions and special effects than you.
    They have more "friends" at Facebook than you do.

Add to that list "they have more bitcoins than you".

He sent 13 BTC to nkspace to prove he had bitcoins (moreso that he had TONS of them)...just to have nkspace run off with his bitcoins.

It was a classic fail on this forum.

repost sorry:

Here is the thing, I could easily afford 50BTC to go to this conference or meetup or secret meeting, but I don't wish to because of the following reasons:

1. I'm not better than anyone and any meeting in which the tone is set for that by limiting entrants and making only for the "wealthy" is an elitist form of mockery of the poor.

2. Having a public agenda for a bitcoin meeting or conference makes sense. Then people can decide if the topics to be discussed or events/activities are suitable for their interests/needs/wants. Going blindly is stupid.

3. Based on reptilia's recent actions with his 13 BTC does not give me any more confidence that his running a meetup or conference might not net more fails.

4. 50 BTC is more productive being given to businesses for products or development, not fancy hotel accommodations.

@Ares,

I choose meeting people than a building with grass. 

On a more serious note, both seem to be healthy for bitcoin. Not sure why you have it out for rpietila so bad.
