Okay so a fiat currency is one that only has value by some decree, right? So chickens are not fiat because chickens have some inherent use to them, a dollar is fiat because its worth a dollar because someone said so. I think I get it so far. Assuming I've got that right, why the gently caress are people saying bitcoins don't count as fiat? I don't see the value being any less made up because a bunch of nerds said it exists versus a government saying it exists, a lot less so if anything. This is a real question

There's a strip club downtown that has a sign saying they accept bitcoins. I asked the bartender how often anyone takes them up on that, she said next time will be the first time as far as she knows

Wasn't there a bitcoiner who did a local meet up to sell coins but when he got there, there were a bunch of fishy looking people around so he panicked and tried to swallow his USB key?

Because they believe bitcoins are "backed by math". They are backed by the amount of mathematical calculations that went into their mining.

I'm glad I've taken business/finance/econ classes because I think this poo poo is hilarious but I think it's really hilarious when you have a decent understanding of how monetary systems are supposed to work.

Hey Moridin, just so you know that someone is pulling for you, I contacted a few mods about your weirdo cyber-stalker and they agreed it's dumb as hell, that they're discussing what to do, and that there are plans to make it so that in the future mods won't be able to probate multiple times for a single post   (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

I don't think I hosed with them in this case, though, since I was told they were already aware of it and discussing what to do, I just wanted to make Moridin feel a bit better. The snitch thing was just an excuse to make glitter text.

Thre best part of that is how he was so concerned that the cops didn't understand bitcoin, rather than relieved that they caught the robber and recovered his wad of fiat currency. Also the first comment AtkinsonCameron posted:lol, if you go to trade BTC in person, you had better be carrying a weapon. You can never rely on bystanders. My personal advice is a .38 that you can conceal easily. :P

My favorite part about the DPR case was all the letters from friends and family about what a great guy he was, with such great stories as "Ross voluntarily walked to the car through a rainy parking lot and picked us up at the entrance, valiantly sacrificing his own comfort to keep us dry."WhyteRyce posted:Wasn't there a bitcoiner who did a local meet up to sell coins but when he got there, there were a bunch of fishy looking people around so he panicked and tried to swallow his USB key?

Blurry Gray Thing posted:I've never heard of any half-way decent doomsday scenario where the internet is still up. We can't properly devolve into feudal lords vs. legions or rape-raiders if there's still an internet. I remember reading a short story called "When SysAmins Rule the World" (or something like that) where a biological agent kills everyone not in a clean room, like in a server farm, at the time and the protagonist and his co-workers were saved because they had an alert in the middle of the night. It was sorta dumb, but no butts.

An important factor you seem to be missing here is the amount of power the people have who are backing the fiat. The US government holds a little more sway than a squabbling gaggle of scammer internet lolbertarians.
