RE: How to Damage Your Reputation Using the DMCA - A Lesson From Mark Manson

in #books7 years ago

Dear I have a question about your userame. Did you knowingly omitted the letter r in the friend or it has some other meaning. Why did you choose thecryptofiend. Whenever I see it, I feel I should complete it.

Sort:  

I'm pretty sure that was done on purpose. "Fiend" is an actual word, which means evil, or a villain. "Fiendish" is a variation of the word. It doesn't need to be completed. It is a word on its own, and probably meant as a playful commentary as to his affection and knowledge of cryptocurrency.

Thanx for let me know about the fiend word, I did not know about it at all.

Always happy to expand the vocabularies of the people of the world. ;)

No it is because fiend can mean someone who is obsessed with something e.g. "he is a rock music fiend". At the time I was a bitcoin and cryptocurrency obsessive so it kind of fit. I also envisaged it as a monster in a Manga comic or animation. It's also why I sometimes use the Soul Eater which was an interesting character in an obscure Manga I randomly came across via a GF who was into that sort of thing.
