And then it's all over.

2018-12-07 14:57:11 UTC  

we've had it for ages

2018-12-07 14:57:14 UTC  

But right now you talk like a guy who wants to sell me bitcoins,

"Its the future"
"Its gonna be great"
"Its safe"
"Where will you be when the market crashes?"

2018-12-07 14:57:21 UTC  

Visa is not the state.

2018-12-07 14:57:25 UTC  

we just invested billions in web 2.0 to kill it

2018-12-07 14:57:37 UTC  

^ literal statement, not figurative

2018-12-07 14:57:53 UTC  

I'm a guy who doesn't care if you buy what I've got or not. I'm prepared to lsoe money.

2018-12-07 14:58:18 UTC  

```Dudes. You need to start supporting crypto. As a political donation, if nothing else.```

2018-12-07 14:58:26 UTC  

That's the point.

2018-12-07 14:58:29 UTC  

sounds like a sales pitch to me

2018-12-07 14:58:38 UTC  

I don't carte if you buy *what I've got*.

2018-12-07 14:58:50 UTC  

But we need to support decentralisation.

2018-12-07 14:58:55 UTC  

The principle.

2018-12-07 14:59:12 UTC  

Which is why I was careful to mention, of 3 cryptos, two I don't own.

2018-12-07 14:59:13 UTC  

I'm all for it, the moment i actually see useful potential in it,

crypto is not

2018-12-07 14:59:16 UTC  
2018-12-07 14:59:33 UTC  

Well you seem like an accelerationist, so...

2018-12-07 14:59:56 UTC  

And I doubt you actually understand blockchain technology.

2018-12-07 15:00:08 UTC  

But you are entitled to your opinion.

2018-12-07 15:00:13 UTC  

I gave mine.

2018-12-07 15:00:15 UTC  

the thing about "crypto" i don't buy is the simple rule

"If it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't"

2018-12-07 15:00:17 UTC  

I despise bitcoin.

2018-12-07 15:00:27 UTC  

and i do understand it, i program for a living

2018-12-07 15:00:35 UTC  

its why i don't have faith in it

2018-12-07 15:00:42 UTC  

You don't appear to, whatever you do.

2018-12-07 15:00:54 UTC  

cuz i don't agree with your glorious view of crypto?

2018-12-07 15:00:58 UTC  

But hey, get your pitchfork ready.

2018-12-07 15:01:24 UTC  

That's preferable to other ways of improving censorship *resistance*.

2018-12-07 15:01:28 UTC  

there will be billions invested to sell "web 3.0" to the gullible masses

2018-12-07 15:01:30 UTC  

can you also make better arguments than ad-hominems?

So far you've accused me of being a Fundamentalist, an accelarationist and a pitch-forking witch hunter

2018-12-07 15:01:47 UTC  

all cuz i said "I don't buy it based on what you've told me"

2018-12-07 15:01:56 UTC  

where "web 3.0" is some sort of crypto / blockchain bs that tracks everyone, everywhere

2018-12-07 15:01:59 UTC  

And you've called me a shill, without understanding what you're talking about.

2018-12-07 15:02:01 UTC  

this is already underway

2018-12-07 15:02:04 UTC  

i never said that

2018-12-07 15:02:16 UTC  

@paradigm Precisely.

2018-12-07 15:02:22 UTC  

It is already underway.

2018-12-07 15:02:30 UTC  

and i do understand it, but i'm not gonna bother proving to you cuz its the internet, for all i know you're Obama, and i'm a shoe-salesman

2018-12-07 15:02:48 UTC  

And if it is in the wrong hands (i.e. not everyone's, i.e. not decventralised) we're fucked. Permanently.

2018-12-07 15:03:08 UTC  

You clearly don't.
