yeah to sell bitcoin you need to have people queueing up to buy the equivalent amount right then. this is why hodlers keep evangelizing so hard, without a steady stream of buyers it really is just a number on a server. perhaps the same could be said of all religions

sounds like a ponzi scheme

e: perhaps the same could be said of all capitalism

Fuck The Eradicator
When the Buttigieg campaign came up with it's color scheme and justification based on how much it reminded you of his small town roots.

Pandering Pete posted:

Calm Blue

Pete Buttigieg is unapologetically substantive yet salt-of-the-earth. He speaks plainly and intelligently about the everyday issues that matter to real everyday people. He is a rational thinker and a great communicator. Above all, he is a calming voice who can clearly explain how we can face the great challenges before us.

Heartland Yellow

Yellow is big in Indiana. It is prominently featured in both the state flag and in South Bend's modern new flag – yet another symbol of the city's penchant for reinvention ushered in during Mayor Pete's tenure. It might be seen as a reference to gold found in local streams or to its golden wheat fields, but to us Heartland Yellow represents innovation–different people coming together in the heart of America, building on our industrial heritage to bring new ideas to life for the 21st century economy.

the thing is, are BTC actually being used as a medium of regular exchange?

it seems like 99% of the BTC traffic is people buying it up to hoard it, swapping with other crytos, or trying to buy illegal poo poo.

I think Tesla was already told they can buy BTC if they want but it won't count as $$$ for the purposes of reporting financial reserves so they'll need the BTC equivalent of actual currency as well.

its very volatile, so using it to buy stuff is less appealing than using it as a vehicle for speculation. why buy poo poo with it when the currency itself could shoot up in value? or the opposite, why take it as payment if it could crash in value at short notice?

it also plain sucks as a currency and is no way equipped to meet the pace at which other modern electronic transactions take place.

When Rush threatened to move out of NYC to protest high taxes and the response was basically "It's New York, nobody even knew you were here. Bye." and he moved to florida like he was going to do anyway.

Pictures of his condo listing made the rounds and it was all shockingly ugly. Well maybe not that shocking but still insanely ugly with random things being gold plated and poo poo.
