they often do keep the old lines around to show previous support levels etc. doesn't seem to drive any additional questioning of the original method though. all draw, no thunk.

That is not what happens. The asset's value may rise.

For example, if you and johnny both own 2 bitcoin worth 100$. Now, you sell one of your two bitcoins for $201 to Johnny. As a result, Johnny owns 3 bitcoins with a total value of $603 and you own 1 bitcoin worth $201. You both made $201 in cash AND the value of your assets increased.

This is a realistic (albeit specifically unlikely) scenario in markets. You see? Markets are explicitly and undoubtedly NOT a zero sum game. That's the whole point of markets....

Star Trek and Blockchain, together at last!

https://intl.startrek.com/news/blockchain-technology-star-trek

quote:

The Star Trek universe is known for its advanced technologies, some of which are already coming to fruition. One such technology, while never directly mentioned in the fiction - well, it might have been, but we will get to that later - is likely the technological foundation behind Federation Credits and the more popularly known Ferengi Gold-pressed Latinum banking systems. This technology is known today as blockchain and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine’s beloved but “shady” Ferengi businessman, Quark, would no doubt have been a user of this technology to transact and ensure the contract integrity in his business ventures. The current Star Trek series have yet to mention blockchain tech, but that hasn’t stopped the adoption of blockchain technology into the Trek universe. Similar to the first releases of Trek toys in the 60’s and 70’s, in 2019 CBS Interactive and Lucid Sight will release the first generation of Star Trek True Digital Crypto Collectibles. Six iconic ships from the Trek universe will be digitally minted, cryptographically secured, and provided in a limited supply enforced by the Ethereumblockchain as ERC-721 items.

quote:

Beyond their value as collectibles, these Trek ships can be played within Lucid Sight’s game Crypto Space Commander, a space MMO sandbox that utilizes blockchain to power its Play To Own user economy. CBS Interactive and Lucid Sight will create the first ever Cross Universe Event temporally bridging the Star Trek and CSC Universes. After the event, these ships will continue to exist in the CSC universe and will conform to the blockchain enforced rules setup to govern CSC Play To Own economy. This means, just like a physical toy, a user can take the helm of ships in the CSC sandbox and fly into combat against other players’ ships and NPCs (Non-player Characters) in the universe. They can even be destroyed completely in the depths of lawless (a/k/a Fringe) space. With the characteristics of True Digital ownership, blockchain enforced scarcity, potential digital loss/destruction, and a limited supply, one can expect these first-generation Star Trek Digital Collectible ships to make very unique collectibles.

this guy posted this idea in a comment a few days ago but now he's super excited about it and posted an entire thread:


Stop asking businesses to accept bitcoin, is stupid, nobody want to spend their coins, instead you can propose them to reward their clients with small amounts of Bitcoin for every fiat payment they get. You want to grow your sales, reward your customers in Bitcoin. (self.Bitcoin)
submitted 1 day ago by coinarmy


coinarmy[S] 1 point 10 hours ago

I agree that there are not so many places to spend your bitcoin but I will be more than happy to spend my old money with the stores who reward me with small amounts of bitcoin, stacking sats.


coinarmy[S] 0 points 9 hours ago

it's a pain in the rear end to comply with the regulations when it comes with accepting bitcoin and I think, you as a business owner, it's more efficient to try to attract more customers by rewarding them small amount of bitcoin, the community is small and you can easily advertise your products this way.


coinarmy[S] 0 points 9 hours ago

This post if about how nocoiners could earn some bitcoin not about how to spend them. Think about getting 5% cash back in bitcoin daily for your groceries


coinarmy[S] 1 point 9 hours ago

if you already offer discounts for fiat payments why not to return that discount in bitcoin to get more customers, I think it's a quite easy and efficient marketing


exab 4 points 1 day ago

This is actually a great idea, but it's not because Bitcoiners don't spend their coins. It's because no-coiners will have the incentive to learn and then get into Bitcoin when they receive some.


coinarmy[S] 1 point 9 hours ago

even more they would be able to learn more about bitcoin just by using it. think about getting a 10% cashback for your restaurant bill, I bet you will share with all your friends


coinarmy[S] 1 point 9 hours ago

you are not able to spend something that you're not able to control, that's why encouraging businesses to reward their customers in bitcoin is a good idea


coinarmy[S] 1 point 9 hours ago

to reach that objective you either need to create jobs where people can trade their time for bitcoin or just force businesses to reward their customers in bitcoin. If both store A and B sell the same product, I will spend my fiat with the one who gives me a cashback rebate in bitcoin.

Great idea, well done. This makes sense to me.
