Recently I've started thinking that the word "cryptocurrency" does a pretty poor job at describing what it's all about. The "crypto" part does not describe the main properties - decentralization and openness, cryptography is simply a tool for achieving them, and doesn't necessarily bring those properties. "Currency" is a pretty narrow economic term, which refers to money in active circulation, but in our case we have digital units that can have many use cases and most notably they allow building applications on top of them. The "currency" part is also used by opponents to claim that they are in fact inherently worthless by pointing out their high volatility and lack of scalability - two factors that indeed make them almost unusable for daily transactions for average user at the moment.
Thoughts?
Do we always have to name something based on its properties? Bitcoin was intended to be a storage of value that can replace Fiat money - hence it is called a currency. Bitcoin is based on cryptography so it called a crypto-currency. Let me give you an example. Bicycle. Cycle - means round. Bi - means two or dual. Bicycles were fast, at least, when they were first invented, they were the fastest mode of transport for man. They were made of wood and/or metal. So what do we call them? Do we call them fastmetalcycle? Do we call them bifastwood or biquickwoodcycle? When naming things, people do NOT have to consider all qualities and functions of that thing. |

An interesting read, although I must say that I really cannot completely grasp this cause I am not a programmer.

Corruption starts at home. Almost every problem can be resolved by one thing - responsible parenting.
Almost every one in the world now is raised thru passive parenting.

It is not. It is evolution. To be perfect. Or at least to be almost perfect. To become better and better until perfection .
Happiness was just commercialized.

People say Eth can go to $7000 this 2018. What do you think?
Just one downside to this is 0.001 Eth would be worth a lot in USD just like what happened to Bitcoin.

All anon coins are great. Even if you are not doing anything illegal, privacy is still a must. Our privacy is sacred. And the gov is not allowed to violate that.
If govs make it illegal for people to use anon coins? Then let us make it even more anon so that they wouldn't know about it in the first place.

Never heard of this coin. Looks like I need to spend more time in front of my computer.

Damn. Looks good. What are your thoughts about XLM, ADA and TRX? Are you also into lending coins?
|
|
|
|
|
TRX, ADA and NCL. RAI, CND, DLT.
ETC is also a great buy now.

Just wait for BTC to hit $1M then you're good.
|

Yeah, I feel you. When I started out, I invested $120 so that I can buy $100 worth of Ethereum. $20 for the fee. Damn!

Isn't there anything like this for a desktop user like me?
Most people are still old-fashioned.

How about you work, invest, work, invest, work, invest?

Success is being where you want to be.
That might be marrying the love of you life or getting that dream job.
Could be having millions of dollars in your bank account or could be recovering from a deadly disease.

First, most of forum members have internet access at home. Some still go to internet-cafe.
Second, smartphone is spying satan compared to basic phones or feature phones.
Third, feature phone browser is enough when on-the-go.
Fourth, buy a tablet or PDA when you must review documents or do something business-related on the go.
Fifth, many Wi-Fi hotspots are for monetization and making money.
That's why smartphones will die in 10 years, we will start again to use basic phones and make street internet great again. For example free or paid internet shed and telephone shed. For example London is getting uglier (no phone sheds) due to mobile phone revolution. I suggest everyone if you want to join the protest switch to basic phone for 3 days.
I beg to disagree. Most people are stupid and dumb. They couldn't live without their phones. Idiots are spending most of their waking hours staring down at their phones. |

I have recently seen this movie called What Happened to Monday.
It tackled overpopulation. Each couple is only allowed to have 1 child. If a family is caught to have more than 1 child, the younger children will then be killed.
How to reduce population?
I think this is the wrong question.
The proper question is, how to reduce the population growth rate?
And I wouldn't bother answering that one right now.

What do you think about hypnosis, have you ever been in a state of hypnosis or trance. And do you believe in all this? Who do you think is the best specialist in the field of hypnosis from now on?
Yes, I have been on a trance. In fact, you and me, all of us have been in a trance at least once in our life. Trance is a state of mind where is your concentration is deeper than usual. When you are absorbed in doing something, like playing a game, listening to your beloved music, you enter a trance state. |
