Mr.PayDay posted:“Bitcoin has never been under threat, and after this fall, it will rise again, shake off the dust and go further, because bitcoin today is not something fictional - it is a real currency recognized by many countries. Number of nation states that accept BTC as a currency: literally zero.

I think the only use of BTC in the coming years, besides being a cautionary tale, will be an increase development of block chain technologies for non-currency purposes.. Thoughts?

My Linux Rig posted:I can understand if the investment scares you a bit, but for people who are smart and don’t mind taking a risk, there’s definitely some money to be made there I agree that there's money to be potentially made by speculating in crypto (there's an endless line of people who can't wait to lose money) but I wouldn't call that an investment

My Linux Rig posted:well whatever you call it, there's definitely money to be made. I've made a good return on my initial investment, and the secret really is just to be patient and wait for the price to go up. which it will since there's still too much attention it's getting from businesses for it not to despite all the negative press it's been getting lately I sincerely doubt that this advice is being given in earnest. You're telling people to invest in a worthless asset because it MIGHT go up, assuming more people don't realize it's worthless.

My Linux Rig posted:who says it's worthless? there are plenty of examples of people making money off of bitcoin even in this own thread, and anyone who would have bought bitcoin when they were much cheaper would still be able to sell them for a huge return even with the recent losses My argument about btc being worthless is that it's only a speculative asset, not associated to any product or service. It's main claim of being a currency (that is, being used to exchange for goods and services) simply has not materialized. Chucky cheese tokens are still accepted at more locations worldwide.

My Linux Rig posted:your comparison to Chuck E. Cheese tokens isn’t really accurate or fair though; Chuck E. Cheese was already established decades before bitcoin came along and had stores that would guarantee that they’re accepted somewhere, where as bitcoin has been around for a much shorter time and started with no guarantee it would be accepted at any stores I take your point on the number of Chuck E. Cheeses available. Am I reading you correctly if I assume you're a BTC true believer? By that I mean that you think that BTC, within our lifetime, will be massively used as a currency?

My Linux Rig posted:Definitely, bitcoin is an amazing currency, and I have no doubt that it will be one of the major worldwide currencies within a few decades. After all, it already has a presence in a significant amount of countries worldwide already, and that adoption rate doesn’t seem to be slowing down 1. How are you defining "presence" in "a significant amount of countries"? If a single man in Turkey uses bitcoin (or, let's say, 1,000 people), do you consider it to be "present" there? 2. How do you define "adoption" of BTC here, and how are you measuring it?

Thanks!

poverty goat posted:it's pretty much the same as if they sent him a gift card. it's his, and if he doesn't use it the store will just take the money To be fair, I don't think that's a fair comparison. You KNOW if someone gives you a gift card. The issue here is that the recipients don't know people are giving them money, and then the money goes to Brave.

poverty goat posted:I don't think anyone itt believes that tom Scott doesn't know about his Brave donations. That's even more absurd than 2 pages ago when everyone itt believed Brave was a crypto browser I think you're misrepresenting the situation here. The problem, as far as I understood, happened as follows: 1. Brave gives users the option to donate to "creators" via BAT payments. In order to do so, Brave shows a picture of the creator in question, and a donate button. Everything there created the impression (since they now changed it) that the creator would receive the money, and is aware of the donations. 2. Brave will only notify the creator in question if they receive over 100 USD in donations (within 90 days) otherwise they'll keep these donations. No clear explanation exists of what happens if they don't know how to contact said creator, or if the creator doesn't want to take their funny money. 3. Tom Scott, in particularl, didn't know about these donations until someone pointed it out to him. Understandably, he didn't want a company to take money on his behalf, as if there was an actual connection between the two. Do you see a problem with this model?

I've made some profit on doge, and want to see it go up. It's absolutely loving stupid, and it will definitely crash. Thankfully I can afford to lose what I bet on this.
