Seriously, what is this shit? Why are bitcoin transactions being represented in USD BY DEFAULT?!

It's people who want to see USD amounts who should have to dick around with clicking buttons and whatnot. NOT people who are looking at BTC transactions to, you know...SEE BTC TRANSACTIONS.

Why make sane people click shit every single time they look at a tx? If USD is front and center why is the site supposedly about BTC?

Etcetera etfuckingcetera.

If you want to be taken seriously, why do you swear so much?

You can want to be taken seriously all you want, you won't be. I am taken seriously whether I swear or not. That's the difference between us, and it is a matter of substance. Form ain't nothing to do with anything.

Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

It seriously has no reason to default to USD. Let people who give a shit about some obscure worthless paper currency click the thing.

Yeah, this is seriously annoying and stupid for a bitcoin website to default to USD. It changed to pounds for me once. Pretty annoying.

I do agree that it is quite annoying.
But, OP you should calm down a bit.

<On Topic>
USD doesn't cause that much of a reaction in most people.

You can want to be taken seriously all you want, you won't be. I am taken seriously whether I swear or not....

There is a word for that attitude, do you know what it is?

Agreed, it's annoying.  Given that it's needed to store btc not usd I can't imagine why the switch.  Fortunately, it's easy to switch back.

Classy, and high value, thanks.

...
Also, fuck fuck shit fuck.

Some guidelines:

1. Free speech - you can say anything as long as it is relevant and presented in a calm and polite manner. Swearing, SHOUTING etc. make your post more likely to be removed.
2. No zero value posts or threads, like "SELL SELL SELL"
3. No pointless or uninteresting threads.
4. No referral code spam
5. No NSFW content
