@OP

Because of this:



The intellectual difference between the average person and someone like Einstein, is actually greater than the intellectual difference between the average person and a chimpanzee.

That's why we can have the Large Hadron Collider and the Westboro Baptist Church on the same planet.

Right, except this:

Price follows utility, speculation follows stupidity.

The world hasn't yet figured out just how far ahead of fiat cryptocurrency is, technologically speaking.

When the use of cryptocurrency reaches an unknown critical mass, fiat money will rapidly become relatively worth-less.

In the meantime, it's a stepwise logarithm.

IF? (click me)

OP was right to use the word, "when".

No empire lasts forever.

I smell fear.

Laugh all you want, but I laugh harder.

Because I am a twenty-something college dropout who will never work again.

Enough is enough when I die of starvation.

Not before.

How do you know what is low and what is high? It's totally subjective, speculatory.

What if I were to tell you that at 5,000$ per, a Bitcoin would be extremely undervalued? You would say, "You're crazy, they are trading at under $500!", would you not?

I thought the OP meant "Squaresoft", and I was like, "that'd be awesome if it was 1990..."

No, thank you! For bumping this excellent and important thread.

Yep, just like the internet did... and the torrent.. and electricity.. and every other brilliant, game-changing paradigm-shift in the history of technological innovation.

Comparing cryptocurrency to Myspace is like comparing the airplane to the Skip It. In other words, it's borderline retarded.

I love you.

Because there is no room for dissent on this internet forum? Really, guy? This ain't a church.

If you don't think the internet is blurring the lines between "research" and "plagiarism", you aren't paying attention.

In the near future, the very concept of "cheating" in academia will cease to exist. Everything will be collaborative and cooperative.

Just as the concept of "piracy" (= culture sharing) will cease to exist.

And the concept of "fiat currency" (= local nation-state scrip) will cease to exist.

None of the above. It will be the wake-up call that results from the inevitable fiat-implosion of one of the major national economies. That event will drives millions to seek refuge in crypto, and not just from the nation that implodes, but from every nation in the world.

I'm taking bets on whether it'll be the euro, the dollar, or the Yuan that pops first.

Well lookey here. This could sure make things... interesting... for the IRS taxman trying to enforce the new Bitcoin tax law.

Just one.

Yes, let's centralize all the enemies of the nation-state, so they can take us out with one single missile.

Brilliant!

Keep looking.
