The only people who got truly rich off coins were people who were in one of the smaller exchanges

ANIME MONSTROSITY posted:couldnt i just sell when it was at 1000$? im okay with 500x return Nope, there was no point where you could sell for one thousand and actually get your money out of Mtgox. You couldn't get $$ out of then for months before it exploded. It's possible you would have been lucky and not had them on the largest exchange, but yeah

"Cashing out" Bitcoins works very differently in practice. You send some third party site the amount of "exchange codes" (a voucher for XY amount of money) and they, if they don't steal it first send it to your Bank account, credit card or paypal balance minus fees. This only makes sense if you are cashing out profits from early mining over time, nothing else but it kind of works.

It's pointless to play the "what if" game with buttcoins you might as well blame goons for not teaching you how to count cards back when they didn't do multideck or whatever

It's pointless to play the "what if" game with buttcoins this while i guess i can be a bit  with the 7x return i got way back when in 2012, yeah, the thought crossed my mind a couple of times, "what if i would've hodled to 1000$?"i might be a timid person financially, but the same logic that kept me overall in the black with my local casino is what probably saved me for going full bit tard, basically gtfo when you're winning then the difficulties in cashing out snapped me out of the trance long enough to actually see bitcoin for what it was, if i would've stayed in i have no doubt i some of my cash would've gone to gox or whatever strictly speaking there's nothing preventing you from getting a 35x return on your cash right now, in a moment, just drive down to your local place of gambling, find the roulette and put it all on lucky 13 in the end the laffs you get out of bitcoin are the only dependable returns

fool_of_sound posted:youre possibly thinking of like half the horror games ever made Yeah, but shadowland is a stealth game where you control a guy with a suit full of flashlights who cannot hide in the shadows . It's a completely new concept. Personally, I am more interested in "Richard Edlund Vs. His Sons".

let's ignore the part where you admit you've never actually tried to redeem your autisim kronars for spendable dollars, presumably opting instead for gift cards, adding another ridiculous step to the chain of attempting to extract value from waste heat you've got your decentralized, ungoverned, libertarian-wet-dream of a currency, and it turns out it's actually lovely to attempt to use as a currency, asset, or other store of value for a host of fundamental reasons. - it doesn't scale, the transaction volume of ~3 transactions per second is straining the system as it is and the record of every transaction that's fundamental to the system operating is now approaching 26gb - the dozens of exchanges you point to are busy getting robbed and soaking their users for all their coin because it turns out bitcoin only works if you distrust literally everyone. it is a trustless system and it's working about as well as you'd expect - despite being a trustless system about half the idiots using it are trying to fast forward their way through roughly a millennia of monetary policy to make it in some way actually usable, while the other half rail against them arguing that it's a just world and anyone who gets robbed deserved to be

The "impossible to get rid of" blocks* in the laugh-chain were all mined a long time ago, now the laughs are a lot more diverse * (unless of course you just want USD in your bank account, then it's still quite hard; but you can totally buy poo poo on Newegg and Overstock and wherever else by letting Coinbase do the conversion to cash for you) QuarkJets fucked around with this message at 21:11 on Jan 1, 2015 |
