I won’t bore you with self-aggrandizement on this commemorative day, celebrating the 5th year of iBankCoin’s existence. If any of you have any questions about the site, current bloggers and past, I will answer them today to the best of my ability. Other than that, today is just another day at the offices of iBankCoin–home of the internet laser beam (TiLB) and Orbital Space Cannon (OSC).
We haven’t come a long way since 2007. Frankly, in many ways, the site is as ignorant as ever. I haven’t learned a thing about “internet decorum” and generally despise all other finance bloggers, except the people who write on iBC. I don’t offer any conciliatory gestures to my enemies and have broken alliances with numerous people since the birth of iBC 5 years ago. To date, we’ve banned well over 1,000 people from reading the site and many more from commenting. In a way, iBC has become a prison, where only the powerful gang leaders are permitted to walk freely. For that, I am very proud of what we have accomplished here.
We still despise the main stream financial media, and couldn’t care less about garnering gratuitous notoriety through pandering to them. Fuck them twice over with a bag of flaming coals.
I like to think of iBankCoin as a giant pirate ship, operating under the auspices of “The Black Flag”, sinking other ships in our path because it’s fun. Naturally the goal here is to take as much bounty as we can– before the whole ocean dries up and we’re all left for dead. To accomplish stated goals we take an unorthodox approach to the management of money, derived from a handbook passed down to me from my urinal shadows.
REJOICE the 5th birthday of iBankCoin by punching your neighbor in his face! Go knock some mustaches off and thank you for making iBankCoin the most belligerent and abrasive site the world has ever known, sans some of those Al Qaeda recruitment sites.

Captain LeFly?
Cappitone (don’t start any sword fighting threads or the whole thing goes Homo in milliseconds)
well done, olde chap –
Love the post. The best part is the comment on banning close to 1000 people ( I could see the smile on your face whilst you typed that sentence).
Bravo!!
Thank you. It is one of the great accomplishments of my life.
If banned, you are directed to this page, restricted from ever seeing iBankCoin.
Wait 5 seconds for redirect.

Do you adopt 29 year old men?
Question: I assume Danny is on the professional skateboarding tour, in med school to take over the mother’s practice or a degenerate day trader who ends the day early to head to the beach.
Correct?
I have no idea what happened to Danny. I only know he doesn’t like me very much.
You can find him on the twitter, tho he’s not very active on it.
That’s a shame, Danny was a good guy. That Java Monster energy drink video was classic.
Congrats on the anniversary.
Congrats on 5 years, guys. This is easily the most innovative, wonderfully belligerent site going. I’d love it even if I didn’t give a shit about the markets. Here’s hoping for another 5!
The Fly will be here blogging 500 years from now.
Frankly, banning is a generous punishment, on the level of allowing women to expose their eyes in the Middle East. What you really need is an internet worm that infects the user’s computer and quietly waits until the smart grid is fully operational (no death star). Then the iBC OSC Wait Operate Repudiate Masticate (WORM) will engage and all household appliances owned by the infected will activate and compromise its contents. Dishwashers will spin at ludicrous speeds and liquidate all plates and silverware, washing machines will tear sleeves from their torsos, water heaters will freeze, electric meters will spin, and dryers will incinerate bullshit towels. It will make Stuxnet look like a warning light.
Fly, love the site- Congrats.
I’m in MBA school at a pretty good program and was just accepted into our Investment Fund managing money for outside investors.
Any suggestions on where to look to break into the industry since I’m a career switcher? The school pushes Research analysts and Mutual Funds, but to me they seem like dying industries.
get your CFA and join a hedge fund.
Thanks Fly- That’s the ultimate goal. I’ll slap anyone with a slice of pizza who gets in the way. Cheers
Happy 5, Fly…Keep sticking it to “The Man”
2007 was a great year, that was the year when I stumbled onto Stockpickr and learned what a stock was for the very first time….so will Devil Dog ever come back?
Congratulations, Fly, on five years. Thanks to you and all the tabbed bloggers for being an ever-present source of amusement, insight, and chastisement.
FIVE MORE YEARS! FIVE MORE YEARS! FIVE MORE YEARS!
