Which is fine really, if you want to appeal to the broadest possible audience.

2018-08-15 13:15:12 UTC  

And if there is to be a real alternative to these social media platforms, the broadest possible audience is what needs to be targeted.

2018-08-15 13:15:20 UTC  

Folks who don't ever want to know what a blockchain is.

2018-08-15 13:15:28 UTC  

Who just want to buy things and get paid.

2018-08-15 13:15:52 UTC  

yeah you really don't have to understand anything, you just need to know that swiping your card gives you the loot

2018-08-15 13:17:00 UTC  

I hope that eventually maybe 2-3 coins win out and become the standard. Right now having a new altcoin every 15 minutes is making the cryptocurrency market less credible and more volatile (and therefore less valuable).

life is easy for people who are evil

2018-08-15 13:18:12 UTC  

man, Im watching some of the bullshit fake journalists spew

2018-08-15 13:18:15 UTC  

they know they are lying to

2018-08-15 13:18:21 UTC  

I bought a bunch of litecoin a few years ago but it doesn't appear to have gotten any traction.

2018-08-15 13:18:43 UTC  

the activists defending antifa after charlottesville when I know for a fact that they are lying becuase one of them has been seen in photos at white nationalist events

2018-08-15 13:18:51 UTC  

i dont mean rallies

2018-08-15 13:18:53 UTC  

i mean private parties

2018-08-15 13:18:58 UTC  

drinking and smiling n shit

2018-08-15 13:19:03 UTC  

then they claim they are being threatened

2018-08-15 13:20:13 UTC  

If you don't believe in objective reality then you can believe whatever is most convenient for you at the moment. Now they probably really believe they were being threatened even though the record says otherwise.

2018-08-15 13:20:39 UTC  

nah they r lying

2018-08-15 13:20:52 UTC  

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
