if I didn't already know about bitcoin, $10 would not be enough to make me care about learning about it.

they can try, but the free market incentivizes yelp to outbid them in order to maintain their "honest reviews" reputation on metayelp. and i know what you're thinking, but it's fine. metametayelp has that covered!

is dutch actually a language or an upper respiratory infection with a grammar

It's a language much like bitcoin is a currency. Many refer to it as a speech impediment. Dutch, not bitcoin which nobody important refers to.

"rararararara" contains the meaning of everything, kept in simple rectangular structures

Sedge and Bee posted:

According to respected online analyst ‘Filb Filb’, technical indicators (such as multi-year cycles) in relation to Bitcoin show that the currency will most likely bottom somewhere between $2,500 and $3,100 over the course of 2019. However, he then expects the market to swell within the next 500 odd days (during which he feels the price of Bitcoin will go beyond the $10,000 threshold). Last but not least, ‘Flib Flib’ also ascertains that once in the ‘green zone’ again, there will be no stopping Bitcoin— with the analyst claiming that as soon as the ‘effects of the halvening start to seep in’ the premier digital asset could eclipse a price point of $332,733.

For example, as things stand, most crypto exchanges and trading platforms would likely buckle under pressure if “millions of users were to unload fiat onto them”. Not only that, if a mass exodus towards crypto were to happen within a short span of time, most digital currency networks would face a catastrophic amount of congestion— which would see transactions grind to a near-halt.

all the actual factual information points towards bitcoin being useless, but at least the nonsense entrail reading is looking up. thanks 'Filb Flib'

it's because their brain looks at laws designed to limit bad actors on a societal scale and sees flaws on an individual scale that it then concludes are the reason there are any bad actors at all. they think they've found the one loophole that will trick people into always being good and it's to get rid of any possible loopholes.

the assumption that in the absence of laws, everyone will act rationally, is what gets me. especially since these people are themselves examples of how people will abuse that, given the chance

only intelligent captains of industry like themselves would take advantage of it. they think that for the vast majority of other people the rational action is to bow down to superior bitcoiner decision making. no libertarian ever thinks they could ever be the one getting the short straw of the free market.

whale vaginas seem to be smaller than whale blowholes, but scientists know very little about whale vaginas

this was mcafee’s whale loving tweet
