iota is by far my favorite altcoin just because of how incredibly stupid it is even for a bit coin, and how angrily its defenders get when anyone points it out

like it's amazing how stupid it is, how did multiple people come together and make this thing and think "yes this is good, i want my name attached to this"

Bitcoin gives me a purpose in life (self.Bitcoin)
submitted 18 hours ago by Zaidinator7

Honestly my social life is pretty much non existent and I feel like I'd be very bored without bitcoin. I've spent so much time reading stuff and watching videos of bitcoin and it always kept me entertained and interested.

It's something to look forward to in the future as adoption increases. Without it, I think I'd find life sort of mediocre and a bit pointless (not depressed).


beowulfpt 7 points 10 hours ago*

I see your point. I started years ago and it became a hobby then a form of study. Now it feels almost as some sort of part-time job or as if I'm taking a degree on it.

Also helped find some interest/purpose that I haven't felt since the initial days of the internet in 1990. A "this is going to be big - I should learn more" spark.

Before that life was a bit Meh, dull on autopilot, lacking purpose, with a few interest topics to learn here and there but nothing that felt really a once-in-a-generation opportunity.

Going well so far, always more to learn and read/watch/listen. Let's see what the next decade brings - I'm pretty curious about that.

Yes. Bitcoin is like a religious movement. Meet other bitcoiners and you're instant friends. Like an community or movement it creates that feeling of belonging. Bitcoin is like a cult and I am loving it. I have met so many new friends that are working towards the same goal, and no-coiners aren't my true friends anymore!

Here's my observation:

Most people are broke or beyond broke.

Let's now explore some of the ramifications of this simple fact.

Those people have very little, if any cash. They have to put everything on credit: their home, their vehicles, furniture, appliances, clothing, food, entertainment... Therefore, they have no way to pay for Bitcoin.

Most people, especially broke people living off credit, want people to think they are doing well. They drive cars they can't really afford, live in homes they can't really afford... They NEVER say, "I'm broke, I can't afford it." Instead, they make poo poo up.

For example, they'll say, "Bitcoin is a scam." That translates to, "I have no cash to buy Bitcoin, I'm so jealous of you... you're going to be incredibly wealthy someday and I'll just keep circling the drain of debt..."

Or, they'll say that Bitcoin is too volatile. Bitcoin isn't backed by anything. Bitcoin isn't a "real" currency. Bitcoin is only good for criminals. And so on.

When they lose their home, they don't say, "Well, I was living off credit; I've been foreclosed... now I need to move my family into my mother's basement in Nebraska... I'm so humiliated..." Nope. They say, "This here neighborhood is 'bad'. Too many gangs. No 'family values'. Too many liberals. Too many conservatives. ... We're moving to Buttfuck, Nebraska. Now that's a 'good' place to raise a family..." It's bullshit.

Their objections to Bitcoin are similar bullshit.

That's too bad; Bitcoins could set them free. Debt is slavery.

honest answer: maybe.

they can see the address the coins came from. they may not know who controls it. you can prove you control that address if you want to. if you don’t want to, then it’s not possible to cryptographically prove it was you without access to your private keys, but it can often be proven to legal standards by tracing transactions.

on it's own, a bitcoin address is just a random series of numbers and letters. just looking at one tells you nothing about the sender or receiver. however, all bitcoin transactions are publicly viewable, so an interested party can see the address that person got their bitcoins from and who THAT person got their bitcoins from all the way back to whoever mined them. unless the sender bought their bitcoins in a way that bypasses know-your-consumer/antimoneylaundering laws (e.g. meeting a guy in a starbucks and giving him cash) they can eventually be unmasked by motivated law enforcement official.

well you can see the address but you don't know for sure who has that address so it is clearly anonymous. for example no one will ever know the name of the guy receiving coins in that first pic. what a shame.
