It takes them an hour and a half of cyber and action scenes to steal 500 bitcoins. They're all sitting back at their swanky hotel suites congratulating themselves until they realise they now have 500 bitcoin and no way to cash out.

The joke was more that I'm pretty sure the founder of Segway did exactly that

It wasn't the founder of segway, it was the hesco barrier guy, IIRC, and that's an actually useful product, he bought up the company for some reason and died to it.

It also reminds me of the bitcoin dude that took a segway tour in some city with another bitcoiner in it and ran off at one point, as it turns out it's practically impossible to handle two segways at once, even walking and pulling them so that was an annoyance, also the other bitcoiner wrote a funny thing about it.

The owner of Segway died riding a segway over a cliff.

And the Segway Bitcoin tour incident was in Vienna.

Yes, he was the owner, but not the founder or inventor, and he had invented at least one useful thing. (The Mega Large Sandbag.)

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

Not sure a coiner could handle the currency system quietly moving to a crypto backend but no one actually gave a poo poo, noticed, or even acknowledged it.

Venezuelans are actually flocking to US dollars, via Zelle.

The only people using cryptos are a tiny number of rich people running mining rigs on the cheap electricity and selling the bitscorn for US dollars.

Guess you're right so that leaves..... No valid applications for Bitcoin!

Honestly cryptocurrency based on proof of work should be banned just for ecological reasons alone.

I finally downloaded CashApp so I could donate to the local bail funds, and noticed it lets you buy Buttcoins. Why didn't this revolutionize the market and drive up the price when it was introduced however long ago? And why would PayPal adding it make any more of a difference?

Lots of places let you buy butts. They like free money.

But to cash them in? Why would you give money away?
