Frog puns are toadally awesome


I have a vision of the future, where people die in line at the outbound scanner of an Amazon go store as they all wait for the peak of any price run to finalize their purchase.

Imagine trying to budget with second by second dynamic pricing.

People hear about bitcoin because it's making headlines in the media

People then get curious and/or look into it, then make an exchange account

People invest into it

I figured the way it is now everything has a set retail price. Those prices change over time according to the inflation in the currency. A 50 cent candy bar is now $1.

Well with bitcoin being adopted fully wouldn't prices to items have to be dynamic in that they would change every second based on who's holding all the bitcoin?

Like say 1% of the population owns most of the bitcoin floating around, prices would more reflect according to what the 99% of the population could afford. So thus anything ultra expensive would have to be worth lower in price otherwise whatever business is selling won't make any profit due to only being able to sell to that 1% of the rich population.

It's hard to put my thoughts into words, but maybe you understand the gist of what I'm trying to say.

Places like Walmart and Amazon will probably come up with some algorithm that scours every wallet on the blockchain to see how much they're all holding and mathematically compute fair prices to every day items based on how much worth people put into them

it's kinda :unsmith: that this guy believes that businesses set prices based on fairness and the labour theory of value, only increasing prices to account for inflation

Adding BTC symbol on computer keyboards next to the $ would make BTC mainstream. (self.Bitcoin)

Millions of people would get interested to know what does the symbol mean. It would also contribute to the subliminal legitimacy of Bitcoin.

In meteorology, vorticity often refers to a measurement of the spin of horizontally flowing air about a vertical axis.

Amazon will keep growing bigger and bigger as the years go by. Right now they're testing out Amazon Go stores. Not sure how the tech works, but you walk in, grab what you want, and leave the store and they somehow charge you what the items are worth.

In the future when bitcoin is adopted as the main source of payment stores will have to have dynamic pricing on items due to point #2. Amazon Go + Bitcoin + Dynamic pricing will make it so that you walk in, get what you want, walk out. Sats will be automatically taken from your wallet and pay for the items and they will be fairly priced due to how the entire system is engineered. Buying groceries will be a ridiculous seamless experience.

i can literally walk into my local kroger today with my own bags, grab a cart, go through the store picking out what i want, scan each item with an app on my phone, put it in my bags, and pay from that same app with my credit/debit card before i walk out the door.

Loop Travel To Trillionaires! (self.Bitcoin)
submitted 3 hours ago by GoRambling

As bitcoiners become richer and richer, they will devise ways to make the value of Bitcoin go up, thus making themselves even richer and thus making themselves even more powerful to devise more ways to make Bitcoin more valuable so as to create a perfect loop that takes us to the Moon - we will travel via loop travel. This is how we get a million dollar Bitcoin and Satoshi as a trillionaire. Where's my Bitcoin Trillionaire song?

submitted an hour ago by jgarcya

My understanding is 4-8% of Americans invest in crypto.

4% of 300,000,000 Americans is 12 million.

If it is everyone of those 12 million goal to have at least one bitcoin... That's over 66% of all available bitcoin presently mined(17 million plus).

It's my goal to have one, but probably won't make it.
