Title: Just about the best explanation of Bitcoin for newbies ever! Post by: Stevets on March 02, 2014, 10:24:14 PM This article was written a long time ago, back when Bitcoins were trading for $10.00. Nevertheless it is a really good one that even your grandmother could understand.

Post by: DeathAndTaxes on March 02, 2014, 11:33:11 PM If by "best" you mean completely wrong on multiple levels and utterly useless then yes it is the "best". Nothing wrong with simplifying a concept but if you do such in such a manner that you make completely false statements that kinda defeats the purpose.

Maybe not funny to you, everyone has their own sense of humor, but I didn't expect anybody to think it was serious. Miners are trying to fill in missing pixels in a booby picture? Really...

Any newbie that reads that might actually think it's accurate and true. Title: Re: Just about the best explanation of Bitcoin for newbies ever!

If they read that far and still don't get that it is a joke then they are already lost. The Ponzi Scheme was pretty funny too. I just love uncyclopedia :-) Title: Re: Just about the best explanation of Bitcoin for newbies ever!

I just love uncyclopedia :-) FYI, there are still noobs in here trying to mine Bitcoins with CPUs and questions that you or I might think are elementary. People are still trying to buy BFL Monarch's for chrissakes! :P Don't underestimate the uninformed newbie. |
