toiletbrush posted:Acting all detached and rational and saying 'well at least we tried' is 100% bullshit but also 100% bulletproof rationalisation of doing really stupid poo poo. See also: backing Star Citizen. This post made me think that somewhere out in the world is a nerd who backed Star Citizen, invests in crypto, and owns an Ouya. Then I realized that there is probably a lot of overlap between supporters of those things. Lol

The resident Star Citizen shill that doesn't post anywhere but the Star Citizen thread spent money on cryptocurrencies. No idea about an Ouya though. Also the banned cryptopedophile, Seraph84, that has been making GBS threads up our bitcoin threads for years on countless re-regs is also an avid supporter of Star Citizen.

I just want to say that these dips are simply a test. Just like how God tested Job's faith, Bitcoin is testing our faith in it, and we must HODL. Don't give up my friends — Bitcoin is here and yes, it is getting a rough treatment, much like the rough treatment Jesus got when he first came onto the scene. But do not doubt, for Bitcoin will rise and its power will be manifest in the ages to come. If you believe in a govermentless society, HODL. If you believe in a better future, where no one is forced to pay taxes, where no purchases are tracked, where no families en masse are rounded up and robbed at random, where no communities are massacred by sectarian violence, HODL. If you believe in being one of the chosen few; the few that recognized a new, transformative power never before seen in this world, a power that will bring the dawn of a new Golden Age, HODL. And don't just HODL, spread the word. From the highest mountains to the lowest valleys, spread the word. Get your friends and family to buy. The more people we get, the higher the value will climb, and the brighter all of our futures will be. Don't let these dips scare you my friends. It's all a test. Believe in Bitcoin and Bitcoin will believe in you.

There's a phenomena in marketing where the people who buy one failed product also tend to buy other failed products. So the people who bought crystal pepsi in the 80s probably bought watermelon oreos in the 00s. They are called "harbingers of failure". The same thing might be going on with crank magnetism.

I'm still holding the $215 of ETH I bought in late December that's now worth about $95. So happy to lose that if this whole thing goes to $0 just for the tears.

I've been watching the cryptochats again to see if there is anything interesting to crosspost and it just seems like an endless argument over who has the most correct Technical Analysis and is really boring. It's weird how the people who are invested in the topic all unanimously want to believe that the system is that transparent and that they or someone else has totally figured it out. It's also extremely dull because most of the meltdowns have given way to people preaching about trendlines and soothing the masses with dreams of $100,000 bitcoins.

The argument that bitcoin uses an inordinate amount of energy is missing the key factor in how much that actually compares to the current financial industry, which is belching out C02 around the world as we speak. If it's actually more than all the armored trucks, fraud prevention data centers, and huge office buildings lit 24/7 combined then that would suck but I highly doubt it. That's assuming the worst case scenario in going with proof of work over proof of stake.

And that counterargument is missing the key factor that bitcoin does not replicate more than a tiny fraction of the services provided by the current financial industry. The only thing that bitcoin could eliminate is anti-counterfeiting effort, but it takes many orders of magnitude more energy than all of the anti-counterfeiting departments in the world combined. Money is already transmitted digitally at a tiny fraction of the cost that it takes to transmit bitcoins, bitcoin trading platforms still require datacenters to operate on, fraud protection services would still need to exist even if everyone used bitcoin instead of cash, etc e: And it also falls for the false hope that proof of stake is more energy efficient than proof of work QuarkJets fucked around with this message at 02:06 on Mar 19, 2018 |

That's not even remotely comparable, yeah you need a lot of energy to keep a currency going, but that energy isn't wasted per se, it's all being used for legitimate purpose. A bank may use X amount of energy to store customer records - technically that's "wasted" when compared to a decentralized currency but that energy is being consumed to perform a required operational task. bitcoin mining by comparison is intentional energy wastage . The currency is based on how much energy you are willing to expend in order to mine coins which is entirely arbitrary. The energy serves no purpose. It's like, you've got two people with two pools that need to be filled with water. The first person places a hose into the empty pool and fills it up, using a lot of water. The second person places the hose directly into the stormwater drain, and uses the same amount of water as could have been used in the pool. That person then magically wishes the pool full of water.
