People should have to discover SA and read through all 1,038 pages because [reasons] I mean even if he stole everything word for word, he put the effort into condensing it into something accessible for normal people. And… who cares? If it talks one person out of touching the poo poo that is crypto, he’s done a good thing. [THIS POST PROTECTED BY COPYRIGHT CIRCA MMXXI, [FBI-VHS-WARNING.JPG]]

Also, apparently writing a book is just as easy as copy-pasting some posts from SA threads. We are such an unlimited font of wisdom that one merely needs to repeat what we say. Divabot, the assisted-living dracula, has never provided original thought or research to this thread. He's never brought our attention to new and ridiculous cryptocurrency scams that we hadn't noticed before. All you have to do to become a successful author is to summarize SA threads. That's why there are so many goons who are successful authors.

I don't follow bitcoin much but hearing today that it dropped another 13% down and a total of -$27,000 just weeks after neckbeard libertarians on reddit were all celebrating that it would never crash again I just had to pop in here to say LOL.

Rectal Death Adept posted:There is probably a future for cryptocurrency itself. Someone could invent a use for it someday and a lot of money is interested in it. i kind of assumed this up until a day or two ago, when i was listening to a podcast where kai ryssdal pointed out that bitcoin has been around for about 12 years and how that's an entire epoch in terms of the technology sector and despite tons of people throwing a ton of time and money at the concept for over a decade, no one has even come close to creating a compelling use case outside of illegal activity. i mean never say never, but after getting some perspective on how long it's been around, i think that if there was some kind of actual problem that this solves better than any existing solutions, it would have risen to the surface by now

The primary thing it seems to do is boost demand for electricity, GPUs, and now, hard drives.
