Lying implies that one believes in truth.

2018-08-15 13:21:49 UTC  

true
saying something untrue != lying

2018-08-15 13:22:08 UTC  

Postmodernism is a helluva drug.

2018-08-15 13:22:50 UTC  

Tim if you have not read or listened to Explaining Postmodernism by Stephen Hicks it is really worth your while.

2018-08-15 13:24:40 UTC  

lying means they intentionally expressed misinformation

2018-08-15 13:24:49 UTC  

@Atkins about steemit, the closest i came to an answer about "where does the money come from" seems to be that basically people get paid with interest, and actual money comes from basically investors or people who pay you for the token. So there will be 100 tokens in the system valued at lets say 1000 bucks in total. A new steem token is generated so there is now 101 tokens but still only 1000 bucks of worth unless someone decides a token is worth more than 9.99 bucks or whatever.

2018-08-15 13:25:33 UTC  

yeah in this context it certainly sounds like they were intentionally lying

2018-08-15 13:26:19 UTC  

everyone lies though, but some people do it more frequently and about bigger things

2018-08-15 13:26:25 UTC  

lying seems to be a way of life for some

its funny, i wonder if crypto currencies falling in price is technically a bad thing or a good thing

2018-08-15 13:30:57 UTC  

the cheaper the are, the more normal people can get them, the more they stand a chance of being main stream

2018-08-15 13:31:04 UTC  

neither, it just reflects the current wantness of it

2018-08-15 13:31:09 UTC  

everyone can get crypto my negro

2018-08-15 13:31:17 UTC  

if you got 10 bucks you can get some crypto

2018-08-15 13:31:29 UTC  

ye it wont be an antire bitcoin

2018-08-15 13:31:39 UTC  

the price of it doesnt mean anything when you buy it since you can buy as small fractions as you want

2018-08-15 13:31:40 UTC  

but a fraction

2018-08-15 13:31:52 UTC  

it just means something if you factor in time

2018-08-15 13:32:12 UTC  

cryptos suffer the same problem as like bitchute

2018-08-15 13:32:23 UTC  

need a bunch of large fish to start using them to sell things

2018-08-15 13:32:58 UTC  

yeah
not necessarily large fish, just fish you want to interact with

2018-08-15 13:33:32 UTC  

your local drug dealer has to accept steemit for it to go up in value

2018-08-15 13:33:34 UTC  

no, it needs large fish. a few of them

2018-08-15 13:33:45 UTC  

like amazon, walmart, and target or something like that

2018-08-15 13:33:51 UTC  

places normies go

2018-08-15 13:33:57 UTC  

was the darknet silk road a large fish?

2018-08-15 13:34:15 UTC  

not really

2018-08-15 13:34:28 UTC  

like, public large fish

2018-08-15 13:34:46 UTC  

microsoft accepts bitcoin, but they dont even know that themselves when you contact support

2018-08-15 13:34:56 UTC  

well that is the problem

2018-08-15 13:35:07 UTC  

none are really out right supportive of it

2018-08-15 13:35:28 UTC  

its hidden away like a good return policy

2018-08-15 13:36:03 UTC  

well my point is, if we look at youtube for example, pewdiepie wasnt a large fish to begin with. youtube made him a large fish.

2018-08-15 13:36:20 UTC  

true, but that took time

2018-08-15 13:36:22 UTC  

someone told me steemit is a scam

2018-08-15 13:36:29 UTC  

i think it is a scam

2018-08-15 13:36:36 UTC  

seems too good to be true

2018-08-15 13:36:38 UTC  

oh then it must be a scam then, because hearsay

2018-08-15 13:36:38 UTC  

when i tried asking them how it worked I got a bs non answer
