That's a bit of an exaggeration regarding bitcoin's wealth distribution, but I'll ignore it because it's moot. You're missing the forest for the trees. If capitalism is over, do you really think I'm worrying about what's good for bitcoin?
1. If anything it is an understatement. Most of the world holds no bitcoin and even if they bought in right away you have just recreated the same power structure.
2. If capitalism is over why would anyone need cryptocurrency? Even if they did why would either of your crypto-economic systems use any existing crypto?
3. If anything really could simultaneously show the world the flaws of capitalism, bitcoiners would be put up against the same wall as bankers.

This is precisely the point I've been trying to make. Right now, most people believe in the legitimacy of the system because they buy into the meritocracy myth. Bitcoin's financial singularity will utterly crush that illusion.

if there is a truckload of free ross it cant be very scarce but seraph is artificially scarce because they keep getting banned. this is why you should keep seraph, preferably buried in a box several feet under a birdbath.

ok but get this: instead of the grandchildren of rich slave-owners and robber-barons having all the money it will be libertarian idiots who want to own slaves and bought in early instead, way better

also the grandchildren of rich slave-owners too because what are they gonna do, give up all the physical parts of their wealth like land and poo poo that they have because you asked nicely?

The fact that you would use this as some kind of own speaks volumes about your character. It tells me you think you're better than someone with mental illness, and that it's okay to belittle or condescend them for it. Frankly that makes me feel sad for you, as inside you must feel terrible about yourself. If you don't, you probably should.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to make a cup of coffee in my espresso machine that's worth more than your car.

who do you think has more bitscoin, jeffrey of yospos or seraph84? i think jeffret has more because he doesn't boast about his wealth. he just sees a thing he wants, like say a web 1.0 forum and buys it.

What do you think, friends?

We loved the open layout, but the price seems low for the area / sq footage, and it's been on the market over a month.

We'll need to look very carefully at the co-op's financials.

P.S.
I fat-fingered the name of this account, it was supposed to be, "nocoiners lament". Ahh well, you get the idea.

Funny story about laundry, when the pandemic started all our local laundromats shut down for 2-3 weeks.

We bought one of these and had to literally hand-crank our laundry like we're loving amish.

So ensuite or not, having a laundry room in the building would be a big upgrade for us.
