For bitcoin ?

I'm surprised how many people don't understand the concept of trading in bitcoins immediately.

"It's a gamble"

Er theoretically if the market changes that drastically in a matter of minutes.

I think its due to the numbers compared to national currencies,

like 5 days ago a bitcoin was worth like 3,200 dollah, now its 4,000

whilst the dollar only changes like a 1/10th of a cent

and then in shock they rationalize it to

"Thats like almost 200 per day"

"which is almost 8 dollars per hour!"

"So if my next trade lags i might end up short!"

I guess.

The alternative is letting tyrants buttfuck us.

somehow i see that happening regardless,

If it becomes a mainstream thing, they'll try to control it

Gold was the mediaeval Bitcoin

atleast gold has an actual use 😉

really?

don't see much use for a private person

but at least there will always be a demand for the resource gold

It doesn't matter how much "use" you see for gold

it is shiny, and people like shinies.

hence it has value to 99% of people.

Do people like shiny vecause it has value or the other way around

I imagine the other way around

because at some point someone found gold and was like "OOH SHINY I am gonna make bling out of it."

Gold is also a great conductor

And it was used to prove the nature of alpha particles

yeah but that didn't matter when we were shitting in pots and dumping it out the window

We didn't have gold back then though

It was only after atleast the iron age

Or the bronze age

I think you understimate how long we were shitting in pots.

Une flamme sacrée, monte du sol natal, et la France ennivrée, te salut Maréchal !

The harrapans had a sewer system with a flush

It just depends on which area you're talking about

well just because one civilization had plumbing doesn't mean..

that we aren't still shitting in pots
