bitcoins, so dangerous to the existing elite and plutocrats that it has its own header on cnbc and other financial sites with banks offering advice on how to invest in it

bitscoins, going to smash the existing capitalistic superstructure so that known anti-capitalist emon lusk says tesla owns a few billion in it and both the stock and price of butts go up, making apartheid profiteer even wealthier

bitscoins, so efficient that a single gambling site shut down blockchain transactions for a week

in conclusion, buttscoin is a land of contrasts in stupid and very stupid
The fact that feudal lords had equal disproportionate access to both gunpowder and the books produced by the printing press did nothing to stop the end of feudalism from arriving.

this is such an empty brained response that it's taking a lot of effort to not set out a multipage discussion on the transmission of power from the feudal to early modern

let's just say that the ancient duchy of norfolk isn't crying that he no longer sits in court judging peasants and can count his vast inherited wealth in peace

-40% yield over the past 4 months? It must be fun to cherry pick a tiny timeframe from 12 years of data and smugly act as if that can be extrapolated out to make an argument about the bigger picture.

just buy a time machine bro/it only ever goes up are rookie arguments that died with the bush admin

Cryptoracle posted:

Perhaps we should consider the data rather than your emotional argument?

So you're just handwaving at 'emotions' and not going to even address the fact that you're in denial about sunk cost and call it cost averaging to keep the charade going? It's like hearing wolfowitz' arguments for staying in Iraq all over again.

ffs you lose 40% over the past 4 months spending every day nervously checking exchange rates and act like that's better than making 30k a month importing vape batteries which takes like 1 email a week.

bitcoin is everything and anything necessary to own the nocoiners even if none of the stances agree with each other or indeed are internally consistent. keep throwing out new talking points and don't go back to the ones you've made earlier when you don't have a real rebuttal.

so what is the existing barrier that has been stopping Bitcoin for the last ten years from solving the unbanked problem? like, what are bitcoiners waiting on before they’re allowed so financially rescue the world?

the barrier is that they are not yet insanely rich. if you bring up this point, then there's a completely whacko screed about how buttcoin will demolish the state [citation needed] and that the fixation on price is unseemly despite it being brought up all the time. literally a schizo argument that has absolutely no basis in any form of reality. it's at war with itself and with the real desires of coiners.

turns out poor people can't afford the fees to use the network

maybe what's needed is some sort of trustworthy party that could act as a sort of store of their balance so they didn't need to use it directly. if there were branches of this things then people could just walk in to them! of course there'd need to be some regulations so you'd know your money was safe and they weren't a scammer

nothing like that exists though so I guess smoke signals it is

lol for sure it will happen that once bitcoin becomes immensely valuable (value measured in fiat), then the people who own all the bitcoin will turn around and destroy the evil capitalist system (which gives fiat it's value).

this will definitely happen, and the bitcoin billionaires will definitely not cash out and become regular billionaires, that would be scummy!

I always got a kick out of those because of the process involved. Like you’d have to go out of your way to fund the bill then hand it to someone, then they’d have to redeem it. so like doubling the transaction fees.
