Sounds pretty privacy intrusive. Better than that, you could have just checked one of my ancient posts on HC. I believe I got in just a few months before that post. Please note, many of my arguments and ideas have obviously become much more refined in the 5 years since that post:

"then I’ll subscribe to your go around the bush profitable theory"
A far better method to subscribe to ideas is to first go research them, critique and refine them. With Bitcoin being a multi-disciplinary field, you could go away, study monetary economics, game theory, philosophy, the Bitcoin protocol, computer science and then come to a decision as to whether it is a worthy investment.
The same could be said for investing in a company in the automobile industry. Not only understanding the product or service that they provide, but also having deep understanding in mechanics and mechanical engineering so as to make a wise investment would be intelligent.
The fact that you would subscribe to my ideas based on whether I was profitable or not, reveals even more high time preference thinking.
