I use this thread to decide which users to put on my ignore list.

In the future I'll refer people to this thread as an example of how to recognize bloviating.

I'm pretty sure that spelling words in all caps is bloviating.

Maybe they should just raise the blocksize limit.

Has anyone been paying attention to the size of the latest blocks?

During my 20 days, 5 hours and 59 minutes in this forum, I've come to two conclusions.
1- Half of the people here are comedians.
2- The other half have no sense of humor.

I wonder if the guy in this video is smart enough to realize how stupid he sounds? Probably not.

I started buying my first Bitcoins in march of 2014. My Bitcoins have never been worth more than I paid for them until the last week or two. It feels pretty good!

oh wait let me guess you only have $20 of bitcoin and want to hype up the speculation to try turning your $20 into $400...
What's wrong with that? |

Every time I open bitwisdom I am reminded what the price was 18 months ago when it was the first thing I favorited on my new comp. $445.75

It's probably going to take a while to shift the mentality, as it's all we've ever known for centuries, but the sooner human beings move away from all this 'arbitrary lines on a map' silliness, the better the world will be for it. Nation states feeding on and undermining each other to fuel their own petty national interests just leads to more conflict. I'm hoping this little experiment of ours is a prominent first step (or possibly second step if we count the internet itself) in achieving that.
The problem with moving to a global economy and currency is that the standard of living for everyone will tend to gravitate towards the middle. For most of us, let's say those of us able to connect to this forum via the internet. The middle is a long way down! Bruh, if you give the human race access to money we won't spontaneously live in mud huts. Guess what? The entire human race will all move *up*. That's the power of Metcalfe. Shit is velocarific; with more participants in the global economy and information age the sum of human value will go up and we will all have a better life... leading to more innovation and better productivity... etc. You just know there's some genius little programmer down in Brazil cracking his knuckles like, "fuck Apple, I'm bout to start Orange" There are places in this world that inherently cannot be "dragged up". How is giving the rest of the world access to money with a limited supply, that is already centrally held by a very, very, very small percentage of the populace, going to raise the world up? |
