without it, the price is extremely relative

2018-08-20 17:34:51 UTC  

at least to start

2018-08-20 17:35:07 UTC  

like someone needs to go "this is worth x of a bitcoin." and just not change it

2018-08-20 17:35:15 UTC  

there are tethered crypto currencies, there are many solutions competing with each other

2018-08-20 17:35:28 UTC  

yeah idk if that helps either ironically

2018-08-20 17:35:39 UTC  

holy shit watching the VFN video of the protest thing is pretty great

2018-08-20 17:36:22 UTC  

when the trump side dude with the megahorn started chanting "NAZIS GO HOME" with them one of the antifa guys shouted back "THIS IS OUR HOME!!!" which just... ahhhh... so good.

2018-08-20 17:36:22 UTC  

then there is the problem of people not trusting it because of the possibility of governments bring legislation down on you for using it.

2018-08-20 17:36:58 UTC  

like, if a government makes it illegal to use crypto, what then?

2018-08-20 17:37:16 UTC  

then you use it anyway

2018-08-20 17:37:25 UTC  

then you encrypt your use of crypto. Fuck rules that are unacceptable.

2018-08-20 17:37:39 UTC  

who is gonna protect you?

2018-08-20 17:37:42 UTC  

laws should be used to prevent harm and that's about it

2018-08-20 17:37:46 UTC  

an ISP?

2018-08-20 17:37:53 UTC  

The ISP won't know

2018-08-20 17:38:09 UTC  

what are you going to buy with it? foreign items only?

2018-08-20 17:38:17 UTC  

can't buy anything domestic

2018-08-20 17:38:34 UTC  

not without converting it into the local currency

2018-08-20 17:38:36 UTC  

when you restrict the market you create a black market, some countries have huge illegal black markets

2018-08-20 17:38:49 UTC  

because people need to be able to trade to eat

2018-08-20 17:38:49 UTC  

Because trading things out of the country and back in via something like the stock market isn't already a thing that happens.

2018-08-20 17:38:50 UTC  

yeah, how many normies use a black market?

2018-08-20 17:38:57 UTC  

you need normies to get this more stable

2018-08-20 17:39:01 UTC  

i dunno, ask venezuelans

2018-08-20 17:39:13 UTC  

if they dont use black markets they die

2018-08-20 17:39:47 UTC  

you think a place like America banning cryptos would turn into Venezuela overnight?

2018-08-20 17:40:11 UTC  

most people don't want to be labeled a criminal

2018-08-20 17:40:35 UTC  

you see how much prices fluctuate every time the government talks about messing with cryptos.

2018-08-20 17:40:46 UTC  

that is a problem for stabilizing the price

2018-08-20 17:40:57 UTC  

the US isn't gonna ban the dollar

2018-08-20 17:41:05 UTC  

did someone say that?

2018-08-20 17:41:08 UTC  

(nor stop making it, which is a problem)

2018-08-20 17:41:53 UTC  

happened earlier this year or last year when they talked about coming after people for income tax. or blocking it due to its use in the black market

2018-08-20 17:42:11 UTC  

like i said, all catch 22s

2018-08-20 17:42:15 UTC  

my point is basically that desperate economies will adopt crypto before spoiled westerners do

2018-08-20 17:42:41 UTC  

and thats probably gonna stabilize it quite a bit

2018-08-20 17:42:56 UTC  

yeah, i don't see much of Africa using cryptos

2018-08-20 17:43:01 UTC  

well maybe some warlords

2018-08-20 17:43:08 UTC  

which means guns will become the anchor points

2018-08-20 17:43:14 UTC  

that would be entertaining
