The internet isn't run by participants like you and me. Governments regulate the wireless spectrum and give internet providers the right to run wires under your house. International bodies make sure the regulations are somewhat harmonized from one country to the next so you can text your friend overseas. It's not the wild west and it never really was.

don't know if there is a better thread for this but noticed that my friend's coinbase app shows little mini charts in his watch list, and mine doesn't. we haven't been able to figure it out. we have the same version of the app, both on iphone. anyone know what could be causing this?

I can't help but see Bitcoin ATMs as basically just cutting out the middleman in a card-skimming scheme. The ones I have seen in the wild only accept cash - they don't dispense it.

i've seen a couple of them in grocery stores and then usually the grocery store has put up signs around it saying it's a scam and not to feed it any money

it's a good point someone made earlier that if buttcoin will usher in a new era of universal economic fairness and an end to inequality, then there's no need to invest early, as even the latest adopter will be blessed by it, equally as much as the early adopters. Right??? so really, the best strategy is to be a nocoiner until such time as that happens

The lesson here is you can just send 15k cash through the mail for crimes and as long as the person you’re sending it to is not under police surveillance or a cop themselves then you’ll probably have no problems

Its an oft cited joke, but to a true bitcoiner there is no such thing as bad news. As I heard one of them put it recently (paraphrased): "Bitcoin is an inevitability, therefore literally anything that happens is just a step on the way there".

How the ever-living gently caress do these idiots have the money to do this poo poo? These people are eating-paste stupid and yet they have thousands to throw around on scams. I knew I was a failure as a human being, but goddamn I never knew I sucked that bad that I can't make enough money to literally throw my savings away on scams and shrug it off.

overpaid tech bros probably. I am one and it definitely is boring plowing all my extra income into boring index funds. if I was a little stupider and lonelier than I am I would be drawn to the exciting action and camaraderie of the buttcoin/meme stock world

What exactly is a road map for an NFT? We generate a bunch of them you fucks buy them and we laugh all the way to the bank? I mean seriously what is the benefit for the consumer at that point?

its where they say the NFTs will be featured in an online trading card game of some kind which is gonna be so fun and rewarding for players that it will become the #1 online game overnight with millions of players all vying to pay you for your NFT trading cards you so smartly bought
