He said it was a currency, which the goon financial analyst with 140 IQ claimed it absolutely was NOT, I posted that article to show that well, what do you know, he's wrong

Remember the standard argument is that bitcoins are not a store of value OR a currency, thats the buttcoin mantra

So this dude points out that there are issues with it as a currency, but yeah, guess what, he flat out says "oh yeah its a currency"

I don't get it

If you really love your butt coins, isn't it in your best interest for no one else to touch your buttcoins? Shouldn't you be scrooge mcducking your 1s and 0s?

Yup, these are good arguments against Sia in particular and illustrates why token economics are challenging. You might end up in situations where what's being used to pay for the service grossly inflates in value due to speculation and makes the cost of the service unpredictable.

BTW I'm pretty new to stocks. I started around 6 months ago and have been putting about 200 from each paycheck into the market usually buying dips that bounce back up. I find it all really fascinating. Can any goons share some insight, learning tools, links, or some forum thread that I missed?

Don't do that. Just do index funds man. You ain't gonna beat the market.

Yeah. I wanted to get into investing but I dont have the stomach to see something lose a quarter of its value overnight, or realize I sold something before the price took off like a rocket. At the minimum, I'd stress vomit with either of those events. I'm really happy with my target retirement fund with Vanguard. I get to see numbers go up (and down too) and I know I'll have a nice fat egg when I retire.

Vanguard is loving rad, can't recommend it enough

So what I'm getting from this thread is that there's two kinds of bitcoiner

One motherfucker doesn't see the house of cards for what it is and follows internet meme advise because he knows that only a person as smart and savvy as he is could possibly become a millionaire while doing jack poo poo, unlike those loving normies and their "government backed currency"

The other motherfucker knows exactly what's going on, is planning on loving all the people that came after him with no remorse, because gently caress them anyway, that's the libertarian way

The real algorithms behind bitcoin is just a series of computers doing MOD division on the number of illegal wieners in their NAS folders by 13

When more weens are added, the algorithm changes
