oddly enough the best explanation i've found about gg is the rationalwiki article since it doesn't feel the need to be "fair" or something

Ok, let me go read that explanation... err, sorry, I have things to do today.

... like read r/bitcoin!

Heresiarch: Oct 6, 2005; Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that no single book is. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.

well, there's something I didn't expect to read today, or in fact any days

it's funny how groups that call themselves positive attributes always end up being awful -"moral" groups, "rational" groups, "family" groups

i have been continually surprised at how not-poo poo rationalwiki is on most subjects. you'd think it would be full of biotruths idiots and transhumanists and the like but it isn't. i mean it's not perfect but it seems to rest in that sagan area and not that dawkins area, you know?

Top 0.1% richest are about to overtake 90% of the populations wealth. Is there ever a better time for non-corruptible monetary supply with censorship proof crypto rules that prevent regulatory capture?

quote:

[�]evoorhees -7 points 11 hours ago

"Top 0.1% richest are about to overtake 90% of the populations wealth." Please explain where the wealth came from and why it belongs to "the population." Are these rich people stealing property from others? Let me rephrase the statistic... "Top 0.1% richest have produced 90% of the world's wealth."

Wealth is not "distributed." It is produced and earned, except in cases of fraud or theft.

So, a day or so ago there was a guy pretending he didn't know poo poo about bitcoin in a reddit thread called "Is this real money?" or such, which I crossposted here.

And today we have:

Is this real money? (self.Bitcoin)

submitted 26 minutes ago * by nahhhnnnyyy

PLEASE DON'T TIP ME: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2lvutl/is_this_real_money/clymmjb - Sorry if I sound like Im begging

A person "tipped" me 1 dollar over Youtube and referred me here when I asked the question above. They also showed me a video on weusecoins.com

I read the sidebar and stuff but it says "Bitcoin is the currency of the internet". So, is it real money or just fake like an in-game currency?

What is a wallet? Well I know what a wallet is but what is a wallet in the context of bitcoin?

Is this a scam?

EDIT: I'm clicking collect right now to see what it is

EDIT, again: DID YOU JUST GIVE ME 18 DOLLARS OVER REDDIT?

quote:

[�]dstanchfield 5 points 13 minutes ago

Yup! Pretty amazing how that is even possible, huh. Welcome to the magical world of bitcoin.

Stroking the egos of these dumbasses is a good way to get some fake change. Now they only have to give all their personal or bank information to some shady enterprise and get their 20 bucks.
