then the tech world just got 1000x more boring. I thought people got into the startup world because they wanted to AVOID wall street....
best thing the author said lol --
I recommend governments to shut down the entire network to prevent people from doing nasty things with Bitcoin.
amen
Btw VMG this is the last you'll hear from me! I'm trying to resolve to not read/comment on any more Bitcoin posts. It's fueling the fire of boredom. I gotta code somethin cool in the next few months so we can have a new headline on this site finally.
Lol if you want to code something better than Bitcoin (I think it's trivially easy using libcoin but involves putting a couple of legal/economic advisors on the payroll, which I can't afford yet) you may well count me in, but I'm tired of this same old block chain.
FYI gov't still hasn't shut down Amway & they are obviously a pyramid scheme. That's why I'm not interested, it seems like a clear failure to me that is just festering -- why wait for the official word? It may take a while. I'd want to build a cryptocurrency that stabilizes much faster.
I'm on fat0wl's train out of here. Previously I gave you guys the respect of honest antagonism. The quackery of bitcoin is so obviously ludicrous I can no longer justify my time spent pointing it out.
People throwing money around does not make a thing important.
Don't you dare say no one warned you when the whole thing comes crashing down.
And yes, fine, whatever, you can say "toldya so" all you like when Bitcoin fulfills your fantastic greed and you lot join the 1% of your new capitalist utopia. Real moral high ground you'll have, then.
"The quackery of bitcoin is so obviously ludicrous I can no longer justify my time spent pointing it out."
Oh, what a terrible loss for thoughtful discussion, nothing frames a debate quite as nicely as dismissing the topic of discussion as quackery.
"People throwing money around does not make a thing important."
What does that even mean? I'm not sure what makes something important, but from an entrepreneur's perspective "people throwing money around" (to the tune of a couple billion dollars) is at least... significant? something that merits continued examination? Important doesn't seem like a stretch, but I'm sure you have a quintessential example of something important...
"Don't you dare say no one warned you when the whole thing comes crashing down."
I appreciate the smugness in your concern, but just about everyone who invests in bitcoin is aware of the price volatility, you're like the guy who scoffs at lost mountain climbers as if they didn't realize that risk was part of the journey.
"And yes, fine, whatever, you can say "toldya so" all you like when Bitcoin fulfills your fantastic greed and you lot join the 1% of your new capitalist utopia. Real moral high ground you'll have, then."
Ok, right. So if I understand, if it all comes crashing down, you warned us all, but if the opposite happens then we're all assholes for reaping the rewards of our investment in something we were told was unimportant quackery destined to fail.
I'm starting to feel like this is one of those posts designed to trigger a defensive response in gullible readers who mistake your comment for an attempt at reasoned discourse. What do they call that again?
