Adopt bitcoin as a small country, and completely destroy it with hundreds of transactions your tiny economy still needs processed every second.

Yeah, I mean, back in 1850 people absolutely laughed at the idea that steel would ever have any practical applications. Then Carnegie came along to prove them all wrong!

“what’s this? a highly energy dense substance that can power all sorts of machinery and is bubbling out of the ground? it has a variety of applications and could have a transformative effect on technology, infrastructure and the economy? gently caress that johnny rockefeller you moron” like who was opposed to loving oil and steel, the very basis of much of the modern world, in the 1800s?

Tech startup culture has poisoned people's brains. We use the same terminology for new technologies as we do for an app that lets you scream at your friends while sitting on the toilet. Everything is revolutionary, everything is groundbreaking. hell, when you watch the fyre festival documentary, they all talk about how amazing and disruptive their stupid app to let rich shitheads hire celebrities for their birthday party is. It's the same thing with Bitcoin, a stupid little toy piece of software that has no tangible reality, but that proponents talk about like they just invented the polio vaccine.

Like, I think there are a lot of trends in tech culture that were cool and good when they were part of a minor subculture. Being all about personal liberty, distrusting established knowledge, wanting to break old paradigms and institutions. That's standard subculture stuff. But now suddenly they're in charge of the culture and those same trends are pretty hosed up coming from the top.

but bitcoin is so convenient! that's why it's going to win against fiat. i loving love how trustless systems mean you have to wait an hour for confirmations. so much better than the oldfashioned approach of trusting visa and banks, so it doesn't matter that the transaction takes a day to process because once you've initiated it you know you're certain to get your money.

It is interesting to me that no bitcoiner has tried doing something like a banking co-op. Every exchange is a private "corporation" that just holds your funds for trading, and that you have to sell at market rate to make use of. Why not have a bitcoiner bank and credit union, if they hate the big corporate banks so much. But for some reason, that innovation has escaped them.

Notorious b.s.d. posted:by and large bitcoiners seem to loving hate fractional reserve banking The same way exchanges do, by adding a little to every transaction between bitcoin and usd. But yeah, if it was a credit union, the idea would be to lend some of it out, possibly even generating interest. But you're right, generating interest is the dumb, non productive way of investing money. It's better to buy a commodity and wait for absurd speculative price hikes.
