how is that good for the bitcoin economy? wouldnt that create inflation?

if everyone can just make money

bitcoins get harder to mine over time

wouldnt it be possible to someone to create some bullshit program that just makes bitcoins?

I think they work off a global blockchain so that isnt possible

you can make your own bitcoin yes

call it awfulcoin

then no one wants it so it's literally worthless

bitcoins are only worth what people are willing to pay for it

awfulcoin thread on /biz/ go

lfmao

for all intents and purposes it's not possible to create counterfeit bitcoin

what would even be the point

you know what

I'm making a new cryptocurrency called wei coin and I'll post it on /biz/

I'll tell everyone it's the new thing in china and then watch as they pump it

then I will chink everyone and dump everything for fiat

I already regret linking that video <:kms:327934280619655179>

isn't that exactly what the bus shuttle scam is

bitcoins are popular mostly because it's used in drug trade etc. illegal activities

also over hype by neckbeards

it will never be widely adopted

what's the easiest way for someone to learn Mandrin? I'm a native english speaker now, and I'm near fluent in Spanish, but what would it take to master Mandrin?

anyone use taobao here?

there's this dude selling Raspberry Pi Gameboys, looks rad https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7mQvFxuWsg

nani?!?

Those look dope

Wonder how much they cost

All the comments are saying "sell on aliexpress please"

sent them a mail last night, they still haven't answered

they're about 140 assembled for the deluxe version (6 face buttons and PSP-style analog nub) on taobao, not too bad

although if you want to go super ghetto this looks more fun to assemble https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mCKVIiTx34

and also almost all the individual pieces are still useful on their own if you're sick of it, powerbank, rpi + display, ipega

*China is going to start blocking all VPNs next year, though. The government is becoming increasingly isolationist over there. It's a wee bit scary... Now, state-run news agencies have made it clear that the government will shut down the I.P. ranges of all VPNs.*

then get a <$5 vps

bought a year subscription would be mad if they ban it
