slashdot are running a poll asking people what they reckon the price of bitcoin will be at the end of december: https://slashdot.org/poll/3188/on-december-31-2021-the-price-of-bitcoin-will-be. some of the comments are...well...

bitcoin has value because it's like water in a pipe???

https://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=17759704&cid=60818700 posted:

This isn't true. Think of bitcoins as "working fluid". There are people who want to do semi-anonymous, illegal transactions. Bitcoins provide some protection and ability to do these transactions. Therefore, you have a certain number of buyers of bitcoin wanting to move money, and sellers wanting to cashout the money that was "pumped". Like a fluid in a piping system. And there is a delay of time while the money is being washed to make it less obvious who the recipient is.

So if on the average day, 1 million dollars was being pumped around, and it took exactly 1 day to wash the coins, and there were just 1000 bitcoins available for trading, each bitcoin needs to be worth $1000. If the price is lower than that, it will rise, and vice versa.

Actually it does have inherent value. Is it as high as the current speculated value? Probably not, but the value is not zero.

apparently USD requires more computational power than bitcoin, also porn uses more CPU than bitcoin so it doesn't matter???

https://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=17759704&cid=60811480 posted:

not true, the energy for computation done for the U.S. dollar dwarfs bitcoin. Some here misunderstood an ieee article about bitcoin's lower consumption, it's negligible compared to many things like finance (bitcoin is a game token not currency as it fails to meet definition) or porn. It doesn't matter.

this one is good though:

so it's just a url shortener but for 1HitLerDidNothingWrongggggghJewfv, cool

it's not even that as i understand it. they've literally established their own DNS roots separate from ICANN and are issuing domains under them using crypto or some poo poo. essentially useless for anyone on the whole internet. i love how this bit from their website glosses over things:

well it would work if fully hosed your poo poo up enough to force their alternate roots, then it would work. however then they'd also be resolving every other single TLD so your google.com would probably become a Moroccan gambling site?

Pile Of Garbage
May 28, 2007



i get the feeling they're going to push a client-side component to make the split-root thing work (only way they can resolve their bs non-domains without breaking the rest of the internet). i guess that's why it's being cross-promoted with that shite Brave browser. honestly that kind of DNS mangling is rife for exploitation and bypasses a lot of rebind attack protections.

christ, those poor kids: At a summer camp, juice boxes and bitcoin mining

quote:

In a sign of the bubbling enthusiasm for digital currencies, the Crypto Kids Camp began Monday in a warehouse in a busy port district. Over five days, the camp combines activities that would be common at any summer camp with a crash course in how to think about, buy and even mine bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

This week, 26 kids ages 5 to 17 participated, on the idea that no one is too young to join the bitcoin economy. Most were non-white, as part of an intentional push by the organizers.

...

Roberts, 50, founded her nonprofit camp in 2019 after several years as a bitcoin investor and entrepreneur. She owns a business in nearby Inglewood where people can get in-person help to buy two digital currencies, bitcoin and ethereum — an unusual retail presence for a digital currency exchange.

...

“That’s what we need to focus on: taking this into the inner cities so that kids, during their breaks, can get a taste of the emerging technologies,” she said. “We really wanted to help the Black and brown communities close the wealth gap.”

this just all seems to be a thing to garner press coverage for Najah Roberts business: https://cryptoblockchainplug.com/.

edit: also it's nothing really but the crypto kids camp website says "© 2023 Crypto Kids Camp. All Rights Reserved." in the page footer lol https://www.cryptokidscamp.org/

saw a recent tweet from the D&B producer Billain where they deliberately added "disclaimer: this is not NFT", not sure if this owns because creators are waking up to the scam or whether it sucks because NFTs have tainted almost all aspects of media promotion.

flashbacks to the TV show Nathan Barley when the magazine Sugar Ape changed their logo to (spoilered because maybe someone isn't ok with it):



in fact now i think on it the general premise of Nathan Barley is pretty much the same as the NFT bullshit.
