THEN I TELL THEM
THAT THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT WERE EXPIRING, SO WERE MADE INTO A NEW FORM TO WORK AROUND THE LAW
"OH THAT'S AWFUL!"
THEN I POINT OUT THAT THIS MEANS NOTHING IS WASTED
@vry_o IT DOES FEEL THAT WAY LATELY, DOESN'T IT?
THE WALL IS HERE AND INVISIBLE
BERLIN WALL VERSUS TRUMP WALL
@fallot actually understanding everything as marks and sharks is a lot closer to the truth than any nonsense of objective value
ignore the word objective
and no, only sharks think that way
FUCKERS AND CHUMPS
the word value should be appraised
it has a lot of baggage
in the bitcoin case, or of any similar thing
price and value are conflated
turnips have value, and they have a price
bitcoin has no value, and a price
Is that true?
which part, that bitcoin has no value?
it does have value in anonymity and portability
that isn't a value at its root, of bitcoin, but of how the systems of price play around it
its anonymous, portable nothing
The value of gold breaks down into certain attributes that make for an effective medium of exchange
gold inherently has some value, even if very minor, simply because its a tangible thing
@fallot BITCOIN IS SOLELY DEMAND-BASED
IN OTHER WORDS
everything is
that is not true
its crazy stock-market type thinking
ON SOME LEVEL, YES, BECAUSE THERE MUST BE A BUYER TO HAVE VALUE (RELATIVITY)
a mess of a mess built on lies
ON ANOTHER, SOME THINGS ARE PURELY DEMAND-BASED
AND NOT PRODUCTIVITY-BASED (SUPPLY SIDE) AT ALL
the only things with objective value are blood, soil, and food/water/shelter/clothing
THERE IS NO OBJECTIVE VALUE
that is obviously not the case
I AM A NIHILIST
and objective is not a useful word in this regard anyway
perhaps real would be a better word
