why would buffett buy either bitcoin or rat poison? he's an investor, and neither is an investment.

Would you agree it's the closest version of Bitcoin to the version described by Satoshi Nakamoto in the White Paper describing Bitcoin's Cybernetic Protocol? Cybernetic sytems involve people and computer technologies symbiotically operating. Bitcoin (Bitcoin Cash the real Bitcoin) is a living entity. The only way to stop it is to take it over with a corrupt, fake, fiated, Bitcoin (BTC), detroy it, and then get a chain that they have majority interest in to take over as One World Currency (see: the shitcoins).

That's not what Bitcoin is. The forking mechanism ensures that we will never, ever, use the money that the elites control, that they can print at will, i.e. add zeros to their bank accounts.

Pleae remove your heads from your assholes and WAKE THE gently caress UP.

Lastly, this is not a direct response to bitmegalomaniac and it's not an attack. It's an observation, in it's proper location, for context.

Bleach does not work well in killing off Cryptosporidium parasites. The amount of bleach needed to kill Cryptosporidium makes the water almost impossible to drink. If Cryptosporidium is in the water, boiling is the best way to make sure water is safe to drink.

quote:

Digital stocks could hold advantages over traditional shares because they can be traded even when exchanges are closed, and traders can choose to buy fractions of a share. They could also give foreign investors the ability to buy and sell U.S. shares they might otherwise struggle to access.

Even though U.S. regulators oversee trading of DX’s initial roster of stocks, Chief Executive Officer Daniel Skowronski said he doesn’t need permission from the Americans to offer this service because DX doesn’t operate there. The company says it’s licensed by the Estonian Financial Intelligence Unit with full authorization to operate in the European Union.

....

MPS MarketPlace which is licensed by Cyprus’s financial regulator, will hold the stocks on behalf of the token owners and will keep them in a segregated account, Skowronski said. DX’s offering is compliant with Europe’s Mifid II directive, he said.

okay, so we have confirmation from a true believer that it is now the year 2000 of the internet, or at least the very late 90s. and just like movies released in 1996 had web pages, movies these days advocate cryptocurrencies.

In human years, bitcoin is still a little boy. (self.Bitcoin)
submitted 4 hours ago by Craig1024

I grew up with computers. I got my first AppleIIe in the mid 80's and used a 2400 baud modem to connect to BBS services and download pirated games when I was maybe 12. Then one day I got a dial-up connection to Earthlink. Eventually broadband. Then smartphones. In a way, I watched personal computing and the internet grow up as I grew up. I'm now a professional software engineer in my 40s and the Internet and computing is a big grown-up operation.

Bitcoin just turned 10 years old. Right now he can't do much. Can't drive a car, can't juggle, can't play a musical instrument, can't write a software program. But, he's pretty smart, and he's growing up every day.

What will Bitcoin be able to do when he's a teen? 2nd layer scaling, privacy, identity, all kinds of things. In fact he's learning about a lot of them now. And when he's 20? 10 years from now? Well now he's an adult, likely playing in the adult games with sovereign nations and fiat currencies.

Beyond that? Who knows. When Bitcoin is in it's 40's, it's going to be a fully grown up Man. Probably running poo poo. It will be fascinating to watch!

Happy Birthday Bitcoin, we love you. And thanks!

They've had doodles for all kinds of dumb poo poo but fail to do one for the 10 year anniversary of the most important technology invention since the Internet itself...

I guess they know that decentralization will eventually be their doom. The sooner the better, I say.
