Christ almighty.
Maybe I am in a bad mood tonight, but if I wasn't before I surely am now.
"Most" of us from middle America? Not by a long shot. You septics never do get it into your heads that you only comprise 5% of the world, and of the 95% remaining, it's an insult to be called "American" in alot of places. In some places, it can get you killed!
You never had an opportunity to earn more?? And yet you are "candid" (oh hey thanks) about your "mildly higher IQ".... I tell you, the online IQ tests have alot to answer for. Yeah, it's your superior IQ that's holding you back in this world of dumbasses, right?
You have a 5 year old daughter, and you lose sleep over bloody BITCOINS? I have a 3 year old daughter. I lose sleep if I can't pay the bills and think she might be sleeping cold, or if I'm skint and don't have cash to buy good meat or a new toy for her.
Your research methods are clearly narrow-minded AND closed-minded, because you focus on only the biggest currency. Sure, you might need 10K to get into that if you want to mine (i.e. gamble) but there are LOTS of other bright prospects, some of which require nothing more than a mid-range CPU. If you wanted to punt a few dollars, build a GPU rig and mine alt-cryptos and trade them.
You're not simply in it for the financial income, because Bitcoin will bring us all closer together???
Dude, this is not a religion. It's not a cult either, even if it has all the symptoms of one
(I say this affectionately, I'm at least as bad as any 10 fanatics you care to point out). Bitcoin miners/traders (with the exception of a small few, I am sure) are not meeting up to share group hugs and descend on liquor stores to force them to adopt. Your view is ... out of perspective.
And yeah, if someone loans you 12 BTC (TWELVE GRAND), you'll surely not forget. That person will live on in your memory forever as "the idiot who handed over 12 grand based on a wonderful dirge I posted on a public forum.". *gasp* But you have given up your anonymity, right??? After all, you're CHRIS! From MIDDLE AMERICA!! Surely a unique combo, and as easy to track down as a large zit on a small arse? Right?
Yeesh.
Bleh.
Argh.
