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!
how many people will reject bitcoin once they find out that there's child pornography in the ledger? no person of good character will accept that, no matter how much bitcoin climbs in 'value'.

No one gives a poo poo dude. Nobody is pouring over the ledger to look at years-old embedded images. Only node runners even have it downloaded anyway, and only the most die-hard coiners are running nodes.

You don't need to look at -let alone download- the ledger to buy/sell/send/receive btc.

It's a decision we each have to make for ourselves. Many would be happy selling everything for fiat at the amount I have now, and living off interest. Personally I'm holding my btc until there's no longer any fiat left to trade for.

Bitcoin is so much more than a financial investment. It's an ethical choice, and a decision to do your part to separate money and state. Bitcoin is an investment in a better future.

This is a delusion. You are delusional.

He is casting magic spells... and not very effective ones!

It's funny because if he took the attitude of "Yeah I know it's dumb as hell but I think there's still a whole lot of greater fools out there and I want to encourage y'all to consider taking your piece of the action," he would probably have gotten, historically, a much warmer reception... and would have even been correct! (I typed corrupt there three times. Must be the honesty in action.)

But that's not the point, is it?

So I turned some of my dog coins into bird coins. I can also run a program on my computer to create hundreds of bird coins, but not dog coins, because dog coins are really hard to make because people really like dogs but not birds.

I looked into buying the crypto pokemon things with my converted bird coins and they would be worth thousands of dogs, let alone birds. It's like 1 crypto pokemon = 10,000 dogs = 20,000 birds. I feel the market is undervaluing birds. Birds can fly and eat bugs and stuff. Dogs are really limited and pokemon don't really even exist.

I would like to know more about other animal-based-crypto, I think the market is due for a correction and there is a real opportunity here. I don't think anyone has tapped the bunny/shark/dinosaur markets yet.

You can’t just separate currency from the state. Bitcoin true believers always make this mistake of arguing as if the state can be just another user competing for currency. This is a political issue just as much as an economic one, and I’d bet that most people in the world won’t want their elected government to simply allow the global financial system to collapse in favor of a bunch of secretive coin hodlers lol. Speculation is good and fine if you’re realistic about it. Crypto is still a freak show and could still take a much bigger bite before anyone will care.

You can. You can also do so by taking your money out. Neither option indicates support for bitcoin, and one actively encourages others to also get out.

In this post, you're trying to imply that I'm a hypocrite because someone who isn't me helped someone else who also isn't me make some money. You don't say that getting out of that system is a bad thing, or that helping them get out of the system is a bad thing, or that driving the price of btc down is a bad thing- all of those are obviously good things- you're just complaining that the motivations aren't pure enough for you.

Slumpy, I promise, you're very very smart for noticing that money can motivate people to do good things that they might otherwise not do. This is because we live in a world where if you don't have money you die.
