Goons have always been wrong about bitcoin, so look for the crash to happen the second the GBS hivemind endorses it.

lazorexplosion posted:It's just so blindingly obvious that bitcoin is a bubble. Like a bubble is when purely speculative investment drives a commodity way above its actual practical value. Is bitcoin full of speculative investment? Oh god yes it's practically all any bitcoin site is talking about. Is it above its practical value? It's a currency where you go to a bar that 'accepts' bitcoin, pay a $30 fee to buy $20 of drinks, then when the bartender discovers the transaction might not go through for hours (or days) he makes you pay with your credit card anyway, and then the bitcoin transaction can't be cancelled and the bar can't send your money back because the transaction fee to send it back is greater than the actual value of the money. And to make this majesty happen the bitcoin users collectively pay for the more electricity than all of Denmark. You can buy drugs with it on the internet.

Bitcoin was essentially an art project made with code, and it's not the creators fault it got turned into a gambling vehicle for "investors". Crypto currencies are pretty cool from a conceptual standpoint and imagine if etherium version 2 or 3 succeed in turning all of the world's mining power towards solving difficult research problems.

Sestze posted:We already had a system for this called Folding@Home and other opt-in cloud-computing endeavors. The problem is, when the ledger gets long enough, people stop really spending a lot of time "mining" (doing the hard problems) and start spending a lot more time doing the bullshit transaction logic. The mining was a reward to keep the lights on, the purpose of having said lights on was to allow for the transaction ledger to continually be updated. This post reads like you took 3-4 other posts that were basically factual and then glued them together into a new one that doesn't make any sense. The dude wanted to know why etherium exists and the answer is roughly that the author wanted to fix the wasteful nature of mining. I've seen dozens of people in this thread complain about all the waste involved in mining, so you'd think it'd be well received to have someone playing around with the basis of a partial fix. This iteration has some clear issues, but that's part of the process of inventing. It's not the protocol's fault that idiots pick up the open source project and try to speculate with it.

Often Abbreviated posted:Yeah I don't think the periods of ups-and-downs matter as it's all part of speculation on an asset without any value i.e. a bubble. If it drops from $1,000 to $500 for a few months before climbing again that doesn't make it less of a bubble. It's not reliant on the price growth being at a constant rate or anything. But you seem kinda mad about this and I don't really understand why so I think I'll just leave you to it from here. What is a bubble?

Wouldn't the amount you'd need to decelerate be far less than what's needed for a "straight" dive at the sun?

gary oldmans diary posted:if the sun had an atmosphere that reached just almost to the earth then you yeah you would only have to decelerate a little to get into that and then you would inevitably get sucked down into the sun (youre thinking about how things work on earth) I mean sort of, but consider that the sun is spitting out so much mass as solar wind you can use a literal sail to accelerate a satellite.

Is this a good time to get into bitcoin? I have $5,000 I was going to put into my Roth IRA after getting my taxes done, but I saw BTC was as cheap as 7800 this week on Bitfinex. It looks like I can get a 3% discount if I buy some "USDT" which is some kind of United States backed crypto for using dollars easier?

Hey everyone, I wanted to let everyone know I have a thread in the SA mart right now. I'm selling rare text files that are cryptographicly guaranteed to be unique. All you have to do to get one is send me 10 dollars, where you went to school when you grew up, your birthday, and the last 4 digits of your phone number. Then, I'll take this data and create a SHA256 hash out of it, and then give you a text file with the cryptographic "token" that uniquely enshrines your data and life in an impossible to destroy monument. The best part is that these unique tokens will be fully tradable with other users of my service, and the value is almost certain to go up. For 15 dollars I will upgrade any user to SHA512, and for only .99 cents you can chose any of the default windows fonts for your file! Hurry, because supplies are limited!

USDT doesn't need a name. They're exactly the same as dollars, so just call them dollars.

I mean its semantic and the same vocabulary nuance exists with Tor. It doesn't make you "anonymous" per se, but it separates your identity as a individual human from your identity as a set of transactions/web requests until such time as someone has a way to connect it back to you.

Correct, which makes it quite a bit harder to trace than other methods that you might use to move 6 or 7 figures worth of currency.
