Bitcoin....who's gotten into it?

[J. Barron DeJong]

WTF. You live in a van dude!

[byates1]

Hey dumb dumb. I've broken down my complete financial situation 2x on this thread. Try and keep up

[J. Barron DeJong]

You do not see that someone living in a van is not in a good position to mock others living arrangements?

Like, it is fine if you like living in a van, but who the fuck are you to judge?

[byates1]

Well first, bunion wants to compare net worth not me. So apparently he wants to judge.

I'm not mocking anyone, was just wondering if the modular home bunion has still has wheels on it.

I've probably inherited bunions current net worth. I'm 17 yrs younger than him so have more time.

I'm like all the other posters here. Rich white and entitled.

[J. Barron DeJong]

Get better material is all I am saying.

[byates1]

Let's all stop fighting. At least we all can agree that trump is doing a great job and we all can unite in our agreed on support for the administration

[J. Barron DeJong]

I just hope you are as ignorant about politics as you are about economics, because ignorance is the only somewhat valid excuse for not denouncing what the administration is doing.

[byates1]

Wait you're not rolling coal on all the raging libs Saturday? Huh.

[J. Barron DeJong]

No, I will be out there protesting the guy who is trying his hardest to bring authoritarianism to America.

and a douchebag.



Struck a nerve yet again did I? A dick measuring contest seemed to be what you were getting at.

Its wonderful that you are another of the west and Bozemans many trustfunders.

I came from a much more humble background and am happy to have what I earned and saved. Perhaps someday you will achieve some level of happiness. Meanwhile, I hope BTC goes to a bazillion, you make a fortune and become the Elon Musk of the van dwellers.

Coinbase just dropped a black steel Amex w 4.5 BTC rewards. Yes. Coinbase one membership (0 trading fees, 360$ a yr)

I've had the venmo BTC card for 2 yrs. ~ 5 k in BTC sitting there.

That was not the question or your supposition.

And here is a thought, maybe just stop quoting me from other threads and I will not bother you while you jerk off over BTC.

You say you don't care about BTC, lack a basic understanding of its fundamentals, and your thesis of it not existing anymore in 5 years (time's almost up) has been extremely wrong. Yet you keep posting in this thread. Curious.

There are a plethora of ways to spend BTC effortlessly. Your argument is a straw man and in bad faith. By your logic someone can't actually spend dollars in a foreign country via credit card because the dollars get converted to local currency.

[J. Barron DeJong]

Fucking guy is using an AI botch job of my argument about Steak and Shake not really taking Bitcoin.

Too bad for you your argument is fucking stupid. Currency conversion happens at POS systems all day everyday and BTC is just one more currency. Are you gonna argue that when Dutch people come to the USA and spend money on their credit cards it doesn't actually count because the merchants don't keep the Euros? And you keep whining about me being disingenuous. Pfft.

[nickwm21]

….Do you really want to compare the circulation and utility of the Euro vs BTC?

The argument isn't about comparing the Euro and BTC directly, although if you want to do that it's likely that BTC will outlast the Euro. However, the meat of the argument is that POS systems handle currency conversions all the time. So you guys are obtuse as fuck or arguing in bad faith, but probably both.

For all intents and purposes, no real businesses want to be exposed to Bitcoin themselves is the point.

Yet both of you keep dodging the question and moving the goal posts.

Just because you refuse to accept it doesn't mean it's not happening.



Probably nothing.

I am not dodging any question, I am just making a point.

I thought the entire point of Crypto anything was to be apart and insulated from the corrupt modern banking and financial systems?

Not curious in the least.

AI says.....

a key driving force behind the creation and appeal of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin was the desire to offer an alternative to and potentially be insulated from traditional banking and financial systems . This was particularly evident in the wake of the 2008 global financial crisis, which exposed perceived weaknesses and potential for corruption within centralized financial institutions. Heres why cryptocurrencies were conceived as an alternative:

Decentralization: Cryptocurrencies operate on a distributed ledger, the blockchain, which means there is no single central authority controlling the system. This contrasts with traditional banking, where central banks and financial institutions hold significant power and control.

Reduced reliance on intermediaries: Transactions are designed to be peer-to-peer, minimizing or eliminating the need for banks or other intermediaries to verify and facilitate transactions. This eliminates potential fees and delays associated with traditional financial systems.

Transparency and Security: The blockchain provides a transparent and verifiable record of transactions, relying on cryptography to ensure security. This is presented as an alternative to the perceived opaqueness and potential for hidden risk within traditional financial institutions.

Potential for Financial Inclusion: Cryptocurrencies aim to provide access to financial services for individuals who may be unbanked or underbanked, bypassing the limitations of traditional financial systems. Control over assets: The idea is that with cryptocurrency, individuals have direct control over their own funds, rather than relying on institutions to manage them. In summary, the initial goal was to create a decentralized, peer-to-peer electronic cash system that offered a more transparent, secure, and potentially accessible alternative to centralized banking and financial institutions

But you cant always trust your mother, or AI.

And while these stablecoins you linked to do represent a comprehendable asset structure, this is the Bitcoin Thread good sir.

Your post demonstrates that you don't know what you're talking about. Crypto could never reach its full potential without interacting with tradfi. What is important is that nobody has the power to create more BTC except by mining it under the same rules as anyone else. Secondly, anyone can still send BTC payments without an intermediary. That hasn't changed. The adoption of stable coins is only going to galvanize BTC, not replace it.

As HODLers we deeply distrust government, I for one believe we are at war with them. Governments seek to expand power, free people seek to destroy power.

Now its not wise to let your enemy see your money transactions. Now, under current circumstances its illegal in the United States under the fourth amendment for unlawful search or seizure without a warrant.

Meaning that, the government has no right to track our money.

On the other hand, should a warrant be issued, the government can demand visibility. Anything less is a breach of the fourth amendment.
