Who What Now posted:Presumably you haven't either, since the closest you could come up with is "selling drugs isn't illegal if you don't get caught". i never even implied that i've sold drugs. it's just not hard to imagine any way to insert yourself into that economy legal or not. they can be sold for cash over the exchange rate. who would want to buy coins for cash?? let's think hard...

I remember Seraph, but I had no idea that he was unemployed. I though he was one of the people who won the scam lottery and decided that they're financial geniuses.

not to mention you can literally keep cash and coins in an account on gdax and just transfer the money back to your bank account with two mouse clicks. it's that easy.

gary oldmans diary posted:what does it matter what people want to use the coins for then? are you saying you meant to say "just sell the coins but make sure you sell to people who want to buy drugs" yeah that's exactly what i said. sell them locally, but ONLY sell them to people who want to buy drugs online. survey everyone who requests an order before you transfer anything. that's what i said.

Even in a system where Buttcoin is used for every transaction, its many technical flaws and the difficulty regarding insuring it would make it bluntly inferior for most uses Also feel free to quote all my effort posts in a couple years, I stand by them. If each Bit is worth a trillion dollars, I will stand by what I said.

Um Yeah I'm gonna sell thousands of dollars worth of BTC to some dude I'm meeting who assures me he definitely only just wants them for drugs. This is a good move.

Ham Sandwiches posted:I'm trying to take the position that I disagree with the consensus position that bitcoins are doomed to failure and a scam for a variety of reasons. I find cryptocurrencies interesting and something worth looking into / talking about. There's a bunch of wise SA posters that have already been to the future and they're back (just like the movies) and it's a bad place where Bitcoin failed. So I'm trying to get them to paint that picture, so we can see how close we are moving to this dire timeline. so you disagree with it, but not with enough facts to point to a single way in which you can answer this question: evilweasel posted:ham sandwich please explain the technical aspects of existing bitcoin and/or existing actual cryptocurrencies (no theoretical currencies or bitcoin features that are "on the wiki") that provide the technical utility that is superior to existing mechanisms, and the manner in which it is superior to those mechanisms (identifying the mechanism) so we can discuss in what specific, tangible, verifiable way cryptocurrencies have value beyond being ugly e-tulips you just disagree with it in a fact-free way where nothing you say ever has enough factual content to be discussed

evilweasel posted:so you disagree with it, but not with enough facts to point to a single way in which you can answer this question: Imagine if you had to substantiate your "8 transactions a second" into a coherent argument that was expanded, like "Scaling issues will doom Cryptocoin adoptions, given that bitcoins can't scale past 8 transactions per second and that's a hard limit, Bitcoin can never reach beyond X point or the transaction volume will be an issue" But see that opens you up to discussion, like "What if people use other coins for transactional stuff and bitcoins for larger ones?" And you even tried to pre empt that argument. So like, the purpose of this is to have a discussion, but your particular frame was Bitcoins only, 8 transactions per second, no additional details or scenario as to how that 8 transactions will come to a head, no explanation for why alternative coins will stop existing other than you just trying really really hard to set that as a term of discussion, and then smugly repeating the claim. So what I'm saying is when you say dumb poo poo like 8 transactions per second, you are either ill informed or misleading others on purpose. If you were to substantiate your argument into something coherent we could tell which it is. Alas, you are only interested in critiquing others positions, not asserting any yourself. To what end, I don't understand.

They don't just shut it down though they freeze it and investigate and give you something other than the PayPal middle finger of old.quote:then that's the risk i run if i keep them there. i can transfer off site to mitigate that. it's not hard. it's actually easy as heck.. And then if you do that you take on the risk of loss on your end through drive failure or forgetting the password to the wallet or whatever. Don't say that never happens either.

Also when a bank does it they explicitly tell you why, not just "we're closing your account down."
