I am crippled by FOMO. I can only hope to receive whatever pitiful fractions of a satoshi the true bitlords will spare me.

Bad news for you Bogdanoff haters:quote:"They are constantly protecting each other," confirms Véronique Bogdanoff . At 50, the youngest daughter explains that she has strangely become an "old little sister" for her brothers. "The twins obviously have a very complicated relationship with the idea of getting older, with death ," she says softly, "and they plan to live to be 120 years old." https://www.francetvinfo.fr/science...ff_2824447.html

QuarkJets posted:Some infinitesimal fraction, because miners need to sell shitloads of bitcoins in order to cover their costs. It's probably safe to assume that the alt-right bitcoin holders are also bitcoin true believers and they're never, ever selling. Don't forget the poll of true believers from a few months ago where most of them confirmed that they would never sell any bitcoin until it was at least $200k/btc Look at the entire graphic. The definition of “investment” bitcoin in it is wallets active < 1 year ago; miners selling to cover their cost is a tiny part of it. Old miners cashing out was a much larger part but also nowhere near all of it.The poll you’re referring to was of the general public who, of course, had no idea it was a bubble to begin with. But even many true believers with tons of cold storage coins absolutely did exit on the parabolic graph or shortly into the mega dip. And in 2013-2016 the alt right was a huge net buyer of bitcoin second only to darknet druggies. 30 billion dollars in 3 months after virtually nothing for the previous year (or ever) is not just Bitmain.

I had to buy some bitcoins to buy weed seeds. I'm in Michigan (legal here) and they are regulating our dispensaries currently. They have shut down 80+ shops because they passed a law that says they need a license, but the state only has staffing to approve about 3 of those a week... So to the internet I went. Lame story shorter, I have $5 left over after my purchase in bitcoins. How rich will I be and should I start drinking mimosas in the morning?

I'm sure they're very happy about the crypto market, but the alt-right would have crypto whether they particularly wanted it or not because they're grifters who rely on non-traditional donations and anonymized crowdfunding, not investors deciding where to put their capital. How would you have even attempted to donate real currency to weev, Spencer, or Kessler?

How would you have even attempted to donate real currency to weev, Spencer, or Kessler? Yeah this is the same reason a bunch of internet drug lords are also rich. The who's who of big bitcoin hodlers from 2013-2016 reads like a laundry list of people whom it would be nice to shoot out of a cannon. Here's Steve Bannon talking about how awesome bitcoin is in an article that also mentions Chris Cantwell loving Monero now. Goons: there's no way the alt right has made any money, this is all anecdotal Also goons: bitcoin is all about money laundering The irony is it really *was* all about drugs and money laundering. Then, once the tech caught up, it turned out putting everything on a ledger that's traceable forever was a terrible idea. So the people who used it for that for years have partly cashed out at or close to the top of a mega-bubble (remember even $6K is 10x from two years ago) and partly switched to Monero, while Bitcoin itself is now mainstream-ish enough that basically everything goons think they know is years out of date.

But that is in pretty stark contrast to your post a little ways back where you claimed goons didn't have enough business sense to own crypto like the alt-right. It had nothing to do with the alt-right's sense, it was the nonsense of the rest of the market made money laundering wildly profitable.

Adar posted:honestly the fact that 2010 meme internet split into buttcoiners and bitcoiners and goons wound up on the funny side while the alt-right chanlords accidentally wound up with a collective billion dollars more than us is kinda infuriating but also pretty much a microcosm of the collective business sense of somethingawful dot com I never claimed they had any idea what they were doing during and after the Goxxening. No one did. Where most goons went wrong, imo, is not realizing things had changed in early 2017.

My position is that crypto is a losing proposition in the aggregate in the same way that poker with a 20% uncapped rake is. The fact that some people beat that through being early, lucky, or smart seems really important to you because it's important for you to convey to us that you're one of the smart ones. You ignore the aggregate that people in this ecosystem are losing huge money on tx fees, exchange fees, mining rigs, electricity. Investors are down big on net real money, and now that the world has gone back to ignoring this corner of the internet there's never going to be enough liquidity for most holders to cash out. When you criticize us for not having intimate knowledge of this fringe hobby of yours it rings pretty hollow. What use is that knowledge? Why should we invest our time? You've admitted that crypto doesn't have a mainstream application. Most of us aren't interested in gambling in unregulated offshore exchanges or buying drugs online. What's in it for us? Can't we just laugh at idiots who take it too seriously without you "well actually"ing?

In the last 24 hours: https://www.blockchain.com/en/stats Total Miners Revenue (USD) $13,037,111.98 Cost per Transaction (USD) $85.48 The miners are taking out that $13 million, paying their expenses, and taking profit. The Bitcoin infrastructure cost $13 million to run over the last 24 hours. That's money bleeding out of Bitcoin.  @ $85 per transaction.

You're building up a straw man if you're taking a single goon's worldwide crypto ban opinion and ascribing it to all of us. I'm sure you'd be equally pleased for us to lump you in with Zaurg and AARO. The G20 is talking about bitcoin because they are concerned about its use in money laundering to fund terrorism. How does that have anything to do with practical use cases?

Adar posted:Hit the question mark, I've named a couple in here repeatedly Right, I just posted what I used mine for. The weed seed selection in Michigan (legal here for medicinal... rec is on the ballot for nov but I digress) is woeful low as they sort out their state staffing issue and I wanted to buy seeds because in the past I've always germinated them instead of cloning for new strains. They do not have the strain I wanted here in MI. Anywho.. ordered seeds with bitcoin and everything is right in the world. The part part is that you don't even need to masturbate thinking of the future to get them like you did in the early days of bitcoin!

Vendors were taking bitcoin as payment for a while until the transaction fees meant that people were paying $85 for a $30 item. That isn't some inherent thing that needs to be done for all crypto.
