What about like a quarter of bitcoins being already mined by satoshi before everyone started mining?

Are you saying guns make people honest?

Your theory does not hold well with santa anna

quote:

In 1846, Mexico again invaded Texas, hoping to regain Texas; Santa Anna wrote to Mexico City saying he had no aspirations to the presidency, but would eagerly use his military experience to fight off the foreign invasion of Mexico as he had in the past. President Valentín Gómez Farías was desperate enough to accept the offer and allowed Santa Anna to return. Meanwhile, Santa Anna had secretly been dealing with representatives of the U.S., pledging that if he were allowed back in Mexico through the U.S. naval blockades, he would work to sell all contested territory to the U.S. at a reasonable price. Once back in Mexico at the head of an army, Santa Anna reneged on both of these agreements. Santa Anna declared himself president again and unsuccessfully tried to fight off the U.S. invasion.

You're still giving them too much credit. A business or a country has no reason to use a bitcoin-like system. All of the potentially desirable qualities of such a system (cryptographically-secure electronic payments, distributed accounting) exist in other forms without the downside of having to burn enough electricity to power a small country in order to run it. A commonly found thing in the YOSPOS thread is that a lot of idiot bitcoiners on reddit think that Satoshi invented cryptography and distributed databases, so to them any payment system that uses cryptography is now just a derivative of bitcoin.

A sort of awkward labeling situation has been created where businesses want to appeal to idiot VCs so they'll say that they're adopting blockchain technology when what they really mean is that they're using a distributed database with cryptography to sign transactions, tools that were in use decades before bitcoin ever existed. All of the proof of work bitcoin mining poo poo built on top of a system like this is worthless to a business.

Bitcoin doesn't use a distributed database though. Everyone has to download the entire loving database which a distributed system does not do.

The blockchain is more like a list, never edited. How can that be referred to as a database?

Is that group still doing that thing where they turned off telling the network they solved the puzzle for the next bitcoin and started the next block only to publish that they solved the last puzzle block when someone else tried to say they did. You know to trick people.

- being a poor gamer / computer janitor who lives life on the internet and thinks it is their area of expertise

You have to go to school for 4 years to learn to be a computer janitor, and you have to be employed by a corporation.

Reading reddit doesn't make your a computer janitor, it just makes you a sad person.

Ad removing programs loving suck rear end, they all work together to let poo poo get on your system.

Download anti spyware programs. Install one and clean. Uninstall it and install the second one. They find different spy ware. Its a pretty amazing scam.

People gotta run a legit anti virus program, not something you download from megapcdownloads.com

The "there are only X number of Bitcoins ever but that doesn't matter because it's infinitely divisible" argument doesn't make sense to me. It would (theoretically) have value relative to goods and services, so unless those goods and services go down in price then it doesn't help?

Watch this documentary it is life changing, because it came out right before bitcoin poo poo the bed poo poo it came out after, man they are dumb.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4654844/

quote:

Bitcoin: The End Of Money As We Know It traces the history of money from the bartering societies of the ancient world to the trading floors of Wall St. The documentary exposes the practices of central banks and the dubious financial actors who brought the world to its knees in the last crisis. It highlights the Government influence on the money creation process and how it causes inflation. Moreover, this film explains how most money we use today is created out of thin air by banks when they create debt. Epic in scope, this film examines the patterns of technological innovation and questions everything you thought you knew about money. Is Bitcoin an alternative to national currencies backed by debt? Will Bitcoin and cryptocurrency spark a revolution in how we use money peer to peer? Is it a gift to criminals? Or is it the next bubble waiting to burst? If you trust in your money just as it is - this film has news for you.
