BeOSPOS posted:how does bitcoin "revolutionize charitable giving"? either you give or you don't and either you care about the charity or you just want a tax write off. well it makes it sort of anonymous i guess. so you could support brave freedom fighters, political campaigns of your choice without statist ''laws'' in the way, entrepreneurs in the third world working hard to feed and, well, certainly to feed underaged girls.

why are we describing the poor bastard as paranoid? he's a foreign national who accidentally invented a perfect money laundering machine, fearing the CIA isn't "paranoid" it's "sane"

Sham bam bamina! posted:wait that wasn't just a hitch-hiker's guide thing? i mean i guess he wouldn't have written it in if he didn't care about it in real life but i hadn't really thought of that. He wrote for a Mac magazine and was a huge computer advocate in general, he's got essays about HyperCard and everything (he periodically stopped to complain about how unusable Unix was for the home user, I want to say in the 80s). One of his friends wrote him a posthumous bit where he laments he died literally JUST before the iPod was announced and Apple stopped sucking

there's also a kind of conspicuous consumption element to tipping that i imagine assholes would miss, i remember reading rush limbaugh is a huge tipper. it's charity for libertarians: overpaying as a very public gesture of appreciation versus something awarded arbitrarily. where you can assure your money goes to ''your type'' of people.

At least some of the "you can tip a dollar to Timbuktu with anonymity!" poo poo is a dogwhistle. Every person on earth knows there are ways of transferring money internationally, a much smaller number wants to do that for an illicit purpose. That's who that advertisement is trying to reach. And/or morons who are taking a dogwhistle at face value.

Gum posted:just a reminder that mlr bragged about having a ton of money in mtgox after they stopped processing withdrawals, and then when they went bankrupt a few days later he was so embarrassed he stopped posting in the thread for like a month he in fact turned up about a week after gox stopped processing withdrawals, drowned in a sea of happening. archives/search are down but he was drunk, complaining how he'd lost everything and only had this bottle of whiskey for company.

i don't understand the functional difference between all these fractional bitcoin libertarian paradise use cases and a vending machine? 99% of the time it seems like a coin machine or prepaid voucher would do the job much better, and ''we lacked really complex way of exchanging currency while driving'' isn't the reason it's still free to drive down the road.
