There is nothing but bitches and punks left on this forum. The quality of the threads has gone to zero. With all the censorship and strife in Bitcoin - I guess everyone quit trying to have intelligent discourse here. Every thread is the same meaningless bullshit for over 6 months now. 'How to get girls to use bitcoin'; 'do you know how I can have 1 bitcoin?'; 'Bitcoin and Porn' Lots of very dumbass bullshit.
Bitcointalk has jumped the shark.
I was here a couple years ago and a lot has changed. It occurs to me that as far as topics are concerned, time is an enemy. There will always be announcements of various things and there will always be the "warning" posts about this site and that. The things is that Bitcoin, although the price comes and goes is basically unchanged. Think about it. If I or anyone downloads an off-line wallet, they get the same block-chain that downloaded in 2010 or even 2009.
I guess I have two points here, one on topic and one a little off-topic. On topic I am just saying that any one subject, followed for several years is going to run a little dry. I guess it is like a man and woman married for years that run out of new stuff to talk about.
A little off topic...I have my moments when I love history. Not the study part, but going somewhere where someone famous sat or talked or whatever. In the Navy I was in Egypt on leave and I thought about the fact that I was standing on ground that the very first people walked on. I sometimes get that feeling with the block-chain. The very first transactions are right there every time you interact with the chain. I need to do some research on the forks, maybe someone reading this knows. I assume that the first transaction was between Satoshi and another person, are we still on that very same block-chain or maybe on the first fork of it. I know that Satoshi was less interested in the wallet/currency part of Bitcoin and more interested in proving and working with the Generals Riddle. Anyway, I think it is time for some Googling on what those first transactions are. Either way, I have six year old twins and it would be very cool if when they are older they use Bitcoin. I have done maybe four hundred TX's and they will be right there in the same block-chain my kids use.
