So many red flags. Still, the training wheels have to come off some time and if she only loses $6k out of this then she might learn a lesson for the future.

Professor Shark posted:So she isn't able to cash them out herself and she's going to be waiting at least 4 years before he starts making payments on his most likely interest free loan of $6k... that guy totally scammed her, Bitcoin style Assuming he makes it through his first year without failing anything he's probably going to want another $6k for the next years tuition. And every subsequent year after that until he gives up or graduates.

gnarlyhotep posted:well yes, but it was a big thing about 5 or 6 years ago, how it was going to revolutionize currency and the world itself At least in 2009/2010 the underlying network was working, it was just bitcoiners themselves that we were laughing at. Now their broken brains have broken the actual network they have invested in and the whole house of cards is in danger of tumbling down. Good work bitcoiners, make Ayn Rand proud.

Thre best part of that is how he was so concerned that the cops didn't understand bitcoin, rather than relieved that they caught the robber and recovered his wad of fiat currency. Also the first comment AtkinsonCameron posted:lol, if you go to trade BTC in person, you had better be carrying a weapon. You can never rely on bystanders. My personal advice is a .38 that you can conceal easily. :P

Bitcoin: All this has happened before and will happen again.

XYZ posted:So does this mean mining easier or what i dont get buttcoin Silver95280 posted:It doubles the block size limit; enabling the bitcoin nodes to process more transactions at a time. But because some nodes will be using the increased limit and some won't, eventually there's going to be an oversize block that some nodes will process and others won't. Then bitcoin splits into two nearly identical blockchains/networks that overlap each other.
