it does have value in anonymity and portability

2017-07-30 13:25:04 UTC  

that isn't a value at its root, of bitcoin, but of how the systems of price play around it

2017-07-30 13:25:13 UTC  

its anonymous, portable nothing

2017-07-30 13:26:05 UTC  

The value of gold breaks down into certain attributes that make for an effective medium of exchange

2017-07-30 13:26:25 UTC  

gold inherently has some value, even if very minor, simply because its a tangible thing

2017-07-30 13:26:33 UTC  

@fallot BITCOIN IS SOLELY DEMAND-BASED

2017-07-30 13:26:36 UTC  

IN OTHER WORDS

2017-07-30 13:26:43 UTC  

everything is

2017-07-30 13:26:47 UTC  

that is not true

2017-07-30 13:26:54 UTC  

its crazy stock-market type thinking

2017-07-30 13:26:58 UTC  

ON SOME LEVEL, YES, BECAUSE THERE MUST BE A BUYER TO HAVE VALUE (RELATIVITY)

2017-07-30 13:27:01 UTC  

a mess of a mess built on lies

2017-07-30 13:27:04 UTC  

ON ANOTHER, SOME THINGS ARE PURELY DEMAND-BASED

2017-07-30 13:27:12 UTC  

AND NOT PRODUCTIVITY-BASED (SUPPLY SIDE) AT ALL

2017-07-30 13:27:18 UTC  

the only things with objective value are blood, soil, and food/water/shelter/clothing

2017-07-30 13:27:26 UTC  

THERE IS NO OBJECTIVE VALUE

2017-07-30 13:27:27 UTC  

that is obviously not the case

2017-07-30 13:27:29 UTC  

I AM A NIHILIST

2017-07-30 13:27:36 UTC  

and objective is not a useful word in this regard anyway

2017-07-30 13:27:44 UTC  

perhaps real would be a better word

2017-07-30 13:27:45 UTC  

I throw raw cabbage into everything I cook, it adds a nice crunch

2017-07-30 13:27:48 UTC  

or asocial

2017-07-30 13:28:04 UTC  

@charles watson ALSO REDUCES CALORIC DENSITY

2017-07-30 13:28:06 UTC  

GOOD THOUGHT

2017-07-30 13:28:15 UTC  

I FIND CABBAGE IS BEST RAW OR NEAR TO RAW

2017-07-30 13:28:28 UTC  

Most vegetables are

2017-07-30 13:28:32 UTC  

consider a camera for instance

2017-07-30 13:28:35 UTC  

you can take a picture with it

2017-07-30 13:28:37 UTC  

prozak you sick

2017-07-30 13:28:42 UTC  

?

2017-07-30 13:28:43 UTC  

taking pictures may not be "objectively valuable" per your principles

2017-07-30 13:28:59 UTC  

@Deleted User 57835c2c NO ACTUAL AIDS, SORRY

2017-07-30 13:29:18 UTC  

@fallot IN THEORY, THE CAMERA IS WORTH ONLY WHAT PICTURES TAKEN WITH IT ARE WORTH OVER ITS LIFESPAN

2017-07-30 13:29:34 UTC  

sure, but nevertheless, its a tangible function

2017-07-30 13:29:34 UTC  

IN REALITY, ITS VALUE DEPENDS ON UTILITY TO OTHER INDUSTRIES AND INDIVIDUALS

2017-07-30 13:29:41 UTC  

EXISTENTIAL UTILITY INCLUDED

2017-07-30 13:29:42 UTC  

bitcoin can only be held and sold

2017-07-30 13:29:57 UTC  

IT CAN ALSO BE SPENT, BUT NOT AS ANONYMOUSLY AS MOST THINK

2017-07-30 13:30:16 UTC  

held and sold automatically implies spent

2017-07-30 13:30:17 UTC  

How is bitcoin less real than fiat

2017-07-30 13:30:27 UTC  

because fiat has guarantees behind it
