What a horror show! With sick fascination, I read all the way through to the end.

There's no tidbits to quote because it's all tidbits, trays of eyeballs, olives and paper-thin prosciutto skewered on cocktail sticks.

PS: HODL always reminds me of Hodor, or Hold The Door, as it is horrifyingly explained in one episode.

If I had to pick a particular tidbit, I'd go with the indifference/disrespect Bone Thugs-n-Harmony got in their surprise set there - in any other context, that shit would have had people going fucking wild.

As Patrick himself notes, its a perfect visual metaphor for the bitcoin bros' relation to art and culture, or more accurately the utter black hole of vapidity and soullessness that defines the community's tastes.

The point was ostentation: not to enjoy the music, but to be seen in possession of it.
