You're insisting that I lied because I don't see engaging with you about that as being worth the effort You having a meltdown over this scenario you have created where it is a fact that I have lied (I didn't but whatever) like you're a five year old who was PROMISED that pony is so hilarious to me that I will never post the search This is my hill, this is where I dig into the sand

8 transactions a second is fine, for a few thousand people in a network where you're only looking at a few minutes, max, for any single transaction to process at a peak time of activity. This isn't scalable to a market of any considerable size, where you're looking at hours, or even days to process a transaction.

the whole culture around bitcoin has just gotten so, so disgustingly toxic this year. that, combined with the stupid amounts of power it's consuming and the explosive proliferation into thousands upon thousands of just so obviously scammy coins and 'ICOs' purely designed to prey on all the unfortunate, deluded people that need to convince themselves that they've finally found the thing that will make them the millionaire that they've always known themselves to be, makes me just wish it was over. unfortunately the truth is that once something this effective at manipulating people comes into existence, it will always persist in some way, as something we have to heavily sigh and explain to people to not buy into, over and over and over until finally we can die, having saved a negligible fraction of the people that got suckered in.

Bitcoin isn't replacing any currency where cash is still a part of it, and it still very much is for massive portions of the American population (serious question: is there a single 100% cashless country out there? Or even close?), and even more massively on a world scale. It's possible in a few developed countries to go mostly cashless but generally only among the less impoverished. On a world scale there are still like one or two billion people in the world without electricity and without internet (and despite being from "poorer" countries they still have GDP's in the billions). And yeah, you need a lot more stability if you're a store or an employer. I mean how is an employer meant to calculate how many satoshis to pay you for your two weeks' pay? Does he meticulously calculate exactly how many you were worth every minute you worked? How are you meant to have any sort of forward-looking budget with that? Sure, some people more or less do this with their assets in stocks or professional gamblers but that is a relatively tiny portion of the population that can work with that or is remotely comfortable doing so.

The Bitcoin market is literally just a reflection of the drug market. I bet if you told a bunch of Xanax riddled bar babies they could let their computer do a little bit of a central banks work and it would earn them pennies, they would because they are the lazy, addictive and impulsive demographic this poo poo markets to.

Waffle House posted:yessss thread finally delivers fun content "icelandic" food are mostly throwbacks to the foods that were necessary to survive when settling on the island. so mostly pickled fish and shark. otherwise it's a hodgepodge of foods and styles other people brought with them. we landed and stayed the first night in keflavik which is basically a small airport town with a few bars and places to eat. i bought some kind of lamb, corn, and french onion mayonnaise (i think) sandwich from a sub shop, ate half of it, and carried the rest around with me up and down the coast for like 5 hours. then we went to an irish pub and watched "football" with some norwegians. most of the people seemed to be there for connecting flights. we got pizza from the place next door and took it back to the bar to drink more. eventually i got the bright idea to finish the sandwich i'd been carrying around with me and threw up. then we spent the rest of the week in reykjavik. i remember going to a really good italian place and getting some pretty awesome homemade tortellini and pesto. there was a thai place that had decent food. i tried whale at a tapas place and it was expensive and not great. maybe i would've liked it more if i didn't know what it was. otherwise we got food from the grocery store because it was the only place that wasn't retarded expensive. scott zoloft fucked around with this message at 22:18 on Oct 12, 2017 |
