... this is what's it all about. there is noone who actually cares about a common man, no matter what nation. They don't care about a Joe worker and will happily throw him over board, outsourcing, automation
that's why
ONOES! My whole worldview... shattered!

... Bitcoin is inherently limited, a niche for aficionados and the ideological heir's of the 19th Century 'free banking' movement. Its code restricts it to a limit of 21 billion Bitcoins, and it can handle only seven transactions per second. "It is a Peter Pan system, and it doesn't really grow up," said Dr Danezis. ... Nonsense!

don't waste your breath
if you insist on schooling them say:
" digital money, wtf did you think was going to happen?? if you think blockchain tech is a joke, JP morgan along with every other bank in the world disagrees with you, get with the program, money is turning digital, crying about it or choosing to remain ignorant won't do you any good."
...and they say "why of course money's digital, Sweetie, did you just figure it out? I've been using this here CC since before you was a disturbing leer in your Daddy's eye! Did you think Mommy's money was analog? Or that the Japanese boy you always talk about, what's his name? Tasoshi? Satooshie? Did you think he invented digital money?"

You guys do know that those are xapo fees, the Bitcoin debit card OP uses, correct? Normal bank debit cards, like mine, for instance, have none of those. Oh, and my CC actually gives me perks for using it (and it also fronts me money, as in free loan). So your beef's with OP. Paying through the nose for what us mundanes get for free. Normal credit cards give you perks, but they do charge the merchant 2-3% for the convenience. The argument is that merchants should recognize the advantages that bitcoin gives them and pass on a portion of the savings back to the customers. That may make up for the charges currently levied by Xapo. But merchants don't get any advantage from Xapo, no savings, zip. That's why they give no discounts. Merchants never interact/know about BTC, that's the whole point of prepaid cards like Xapo. To the merchant, Xapo's just a dicey off-brand CC. Merchants don't know/care what your card is funded with. Bitcoins or BTCeanie BTCabies -- 'long as they get paid in regular filthy fiat toilet paper, they're good

... ETH problems (for example) are centralized planning, lower security (POS), inflation
One problem ETH does not have that BTC does is ...the price. Which has been skyrocketing while bitcoin hodlers stood there, mouths agape, wieners in hand If you've come along to Bitcoin for the right reasons, you would not consider getting involved in ETH.
But, on the other hand, if you do like money -- anything about it, like not losing shitloads of it, or even, dare I say it? making it grow by OVER 1000 FUCKING PERCENT, IN LESS THAN TWO MONTHS, ETH might be of some interest to you. Apologies in advance, gentlemen, to the high-minded ideologues amongst you. Those who, like Lauda, pimp dice and mixing sites in your sigs for ...totally not earning a pittance any which way you could. Cearly ain't about the money 4u!

everyone that buy eth at these prices are crazy
That's what folks said about buying BTC at $80. Weren't wrong, either.

No reason to be envious of ETH. Bitcoin's just coiling. As usual. Like a snake.
|
|
|
I dont think so, it's just a bunch of shills want to make quick buck.
But ETH may have some innovation in it, i think it is here to stay, but the price may go lower who knows.
It has some innovation but what real world problems does it solve? Etherium probably solves something for somebody. I mean, Bitcoin let you stop worrying about retailers releasing your secret CC infos, I'm certain ETH solves some similarly pressing problem.

... I actually really like the song. It is quite catchy and has a nice rhythm.
It's a trip, it got a funky beat, and I can bug out to it.

It's very easy to DDOS a certain site and tell them to pay a certain amount of BTC to stop it. In many cases you will get paid as the people that are getting attacked want it to stop directly. It's a shame, but it happens. It's not only Bitcoin. The people behind these DDOS quite often also offer the victim several payment options. But as always Bitcoin is receiving all the blame.
It seems like any entity vulnerable to DDOS should take measures to protect from attack, or hire a service to protect them. Or, since these are Swiss financial institutions we're talking about, they might just call their puppets, the gubermint (who, in turn, will sic jackbooted thugs upon our Bitcoin).

well that is not using, that is speculating.... anyway i'm only mining ethereum and dumping for bitcoin, like any sane person would do Curious fact: Speculation is use. Or did you mean use like ransomware & overpriced drugs on notoriously unreliable markets, Bitcoin's 2 main non-speculative use scenarios? no i means use it to buy legal items, any other thing is not what i would call usage Ah, you mean "buying stuff for way too much, in ways that make Rube Goldberg seem terse and totally not funny"? Like buying BTC with fiat (paying premium), to buy overpriced item (because totally worth it; merchant accepts BTC!!!1!), so BitPay could sell your BTC & sends resultant fiat to the BTC merchant? Gotcha! Srs bizniz, this Bitcoin no, i simply buy on purseio, with amazon and i get a huge discount, why i should use fiat? or even ethereum lol altcoin are full clone in terms of usage they offer zero advantages over bitcoin, don't bring the usual confirmation time bullshit, that is a non-issue So let me get this straight: you mine alts, sell them for BTC, and then go to a carding website to be "matched up" with a carder ...all for a 15% discount? Protip: Better carding deals elsewhere. >altcoin are full clone You do understand that Etherium has almost nothing in common with Bitcoin, correct?

Yeah, still giggle when I think about rubes buying BTC @ $1200.

$409 seems to be holding Fun fact: there's actually a love song called We Built a 409. An ode to 409, with no redeeming value (beyond being notably lame) whatsoever.

I get that too, then I explain that it's a hobby and that in certain cases I use my miners (the cheap USB ones) to help science. ... TL;DR: I just lie like a rug.

It's just the same old-school "altcoin" P&D scheme, where everyone's just focusing on making money, innovations and features doesn't matter, everyone wants their bags filled...
As opposed to Bitcoin?

what advantage yu got from xapo debit card?it can used for any store which dont accept bitcoin?
Yes, like for example mine bitcoins (or earn bitcoins the way you used to) > have them deposited in your xapo bitcoin address > have them instantly (well after 6 network confirmations) available to spend for fiat on your xapo debit card...smooth enough isnt it? And yes i agree with you: fiat will exist for long big time, prolly forever but still i call myself one of pioneers making a live with bitcoins and rely 100% over my bitcoins income (yeah i still have to pay taxes using fiat...that's not my fault that's some governance being retard...) Lol, if my debit/credit card had these fees, I'd switch to BTC 4sure Exactly it is this kind of these which will make creditcard companies lose more users every day. These fees are ridiculous. But the combination or paypal and bitcoin will not kill fiat. There demand for fiat is huge. it's an endless cycle, they keep losing customers = they increase the fee = result in losing more customers usually this happen when there are many services offering the same thing, it will diluite the distribution of customers using that service You guys do know that those are xapo fees, the Bitcoin debit card OP uses, correct? Normal bank debit cards, like mine, for instance, have none of those. Oh, and my CC actually gives me perks for using it (and it also fronts me money, as in free loan). So your beef's with OP.

Is this the kind of person who should be on default trust?
Cryptodevil. Because he's the hero Bitcoin deserves, but not the one it needs right now.
