Seraph, you've never explained how bitcoin is going to replace all world currencies? Deflationary currency is a very bad thing for a functioning economy since it impedes the flow of capital. Why would I buy an ice cream today when I can have 3 by waiting for tomorrow? Meanwhile the ice cream vendor goes out of business because I didn't buy ice cream. This is a bad thing.

A functioning economy?

Do you think we have that now? Do you think the current system is fair and just?

You're so close to getting it. Allow me to illuminate. You're right, in that capitalism almost certainly cannot survive with a bitcoin-based financial system. Have you considered the possibility that perhaps it was never meant to?

One thing is certain: Bitcoin is a financial singularity. Once we cross the event horizon (hyperbitcoinization), there is no going back. Capitalism as we know it will soon come to an end. This was going to happen with or without Bitcoin, but is greatly accelerated by the more or less arbitrary redistribution of all wealth, which has already begun.

What comes next, I can't say. As I see it, there are two possibilities: Crpyto-socialism, and crypto-fascism/feudalism. Many bitcoiners seem to be pining for the latter, a trend I find rather disturbing. I pray we arrive at the former, with minimal bloodshed. I'll do everything in my limited power to ensure that we do. That said, I have accumulated over 200 BTC to ensure the survival of my loved ones and myself in any eventuality.

Before anyone knew he was a spousal abuser I donated approximately $800 to these forums over 5 years. I have since donated considerably more than that to Safe Horizon, and will sooner or later outpace that amount for Jeffrey, at the rate we're going. Or he could just unban me for a cool $10,000 one time payment. Although then I'd have to adhere to all the rules, which could be less fun.

I think we should show some compassion for seraph. Clearly, he is mentally ill. It might be funny when he comes bursting in to pwn us with his BTC gains but the reality is that he is a sad small man who has no one in his life. Otherwise, why would he spend so much time trying to get our approval?

Ask me about my wealthy lifestyle and passive income! I love bragging about my wealth to my lessers! My opinions are more valid because I have more money than you! Stealing the fruits of the labor of the working class is okay, so long as you don't do it using crypto. More money = better than!
based on decades of experience, seraph likely suffers from bipolar disorder, which would explain his excessive spending and delusions of grandeur. This is his manic stage which will be followed by soul crushing depression. He won't be posting for a while when that hits.

e:The worst part about suffering from bipolar is that until you understand what the gently caress is going on, you keep trying to force things to happen because you have so little control over yourself.

seraph used to come in here a lot and argue that capitalism is bad, therefore bitcoin

I've posted this a lot of times over the years but it bears repeating at least once more. They can both be bad. Bitcoin doesn't solve capitalism's issues, and instead amplifies a lot of the existing ones while creating many entirely new ones. I do not regret not getting in when btc was 80 cents because having followed this dumb poo poo for as long as we have, I know for a fact that I would've had my investment wiped out by at least one of a lot of big-deal events that happened in the last 12 years. Also Klyith's twilight zone what-if scenario about goons getting in causing bitcoin to never get big in the first place is a great take.

He also threw a bunch of his "wife's" money (probably her 401k or something) into bitcoin on the upswing towards the "moon", so I'm pretty sure she divorced him when that poo poo hit 3k from 20k. Don't spend your SO's money on buttcoin.

I mean, sure, if you define "failchild" as someone who came to NYC with $483 in his pocket, no connections other than one similarly broke friend, lived on couches for months, and turned that into close to $400,000 without any help from anyone (including any inheritance) in under 20 years, in one of the most expensive and competitive cities in the world. I guess by that definition I am an abject failure, sure.

Somfin posted:

You wouldn't though, because the inheritance was under 600k. I turned it into about 3.5 mil by dropping it into btc. It's failure all the way up to the moon!

Seems to me that this forum can dish it out, but they can't take it. Most of the posters ITT are in complete denial mode, and the yospos bitcoin thread is actually closed. This is hilarious to me. I post here because it's fun and amusing, and I enjoy the good company of people who adore me, like you.
