two off the top of my head

2018-10-09 03:28:02 UTC  

limited supply means it'll eventually run out

2018-10-09 03:28:10 UTC  

as hdd's crash

2018-10-09 03:28:54 UTC  

it would multiply if it garnered mainstream adoption

2018-10-09 03:29:22 UTC  

My connection just cut out

2018-10-09 03:29:30 UTC  

it happens

2018-10-09 03:29:32 UTC  

Dunno what you got

2018-10-09 03:29:39 UTC  

?

2018-10-09 03:30:17 UTC  

It won't run out it will deflate. And fees will take over to pay for transactions rather than mining

2018-10-09 03:30:33 UTC  

It's said failed to send a bunch of my messages

2018-10-09 03:30:59 UTC  

Over the course of hundreds of years and billions of people using it? It'll run out

2018-10-09 03:31:15 UTC  

It can be updated to further subdivide the coins

2018-10-09 03:31:27 UTC  

They can already go to 8 decimal places

2018-10-09 03:31:38 UTC  

Yea, I know

2018-10-09 03:31:48 UTC  

You're not thinking long term

2018-10-09 03:31:57 UTC  

What's the long term issue?

2018-10-09 03:32:20 UTC  

billions of people using a coin compounds an issue exponentially

2018-10-09 03:32:45 UTC  

There's lightning network. Coins can be divided as much as would be needed

2018-10-09 03:32:56 UTC  

another problem is it doesn't really have backing

2018-10-09 03:33:06 UTC  

although that can be looked at as a positive as well

2018-10-09 03:33:10 UTC  

depending who you ask

2018-10-09 03:33:16 UTC  

Backing?

2018-10-09 03:33:34 UTC  

The US dollar is backed by the US government and military

2018-10-09 03:33:42 UTC  

Ahh

2018-10-09 03:33:59 UTC  

Well, money is worth what people think it is

2018-10-09 03:34:02 UTC  

Again good or bad depending on your perspective

2018-10-09 03:34:06 UTC  

I know

2018-10-09 03:34:08 UTC  

it's all fiat

2018-10-09 03:34:17 UTC  

It wasn't always

2018-10-09 03:34:24 UTC  

Gold for example

2018-10-09 03:34:24 UTC  

It is now

2018-10-09 03:34:35 UTC  

Lol I was in finance for a while

2018-10-09 03:35:18 UTC  

Yeah I'm not high level on these discussions. I just know a lot of people who think it will work. You ever read any taleb to take a tangent?

2018-10-09 03:35:33 UTC  

if the gov collapsed would gold actually maintain value

2018-10-09 03:35:40 UTC  

Not short term

2018-10-09 03:35:45 UTC  

Nah I don't have a lot of reading time outside of my coursework unfortunately

2018-10-09 03:35:50 UTC  

Gotcha

2018-10-09 03:36:10 UTC  

Gold will always hold value

2018-10-09 03:36:13 UTC  

He made a lot of money off of the markets and is pretty critical of finance

2018-10-09 03:36:31 UTC  

ive heard that axiom but what is it based on

2018-10-09 03:36:42 UTC  

It's rare and people want it
