the technology has some promise

I don't deny I want to abolish centralized influence

Using blockchain to build a usenet style discussion system sounds good

https://eos-forum.org

The problem is that at some point the network gets larger than the participants' disks

first of all motherfucker, I didn't say I "wasn't into crypto"

the anon posting is free

you don't just get to barge into this server and make demands

I asked

and I know that

chill

out

this is a discord for Tim and his musings

I'm just not convinced that it's independent of centralized currency value.

lol, wanna kick me out now? save some trouble later

that actually seems pretty reasonable

i know i'm a troll sometimes.

no offense roadcrypto, but if it's the only thing you talk about, this might not be the place.

i try to be constructive

it hasn't been. that's why i'm trying to get a channel so i don't talk about it in here

I'm open to discussing this.

you're not being a troll, you're just being annoying

i've talked about other stuff in here

lol

Theres not going to be a dedicated channel for singular topics

so chill out

@Blackhawk342 except firearms, dank memes, and shitposts.

yeah, i'm probably in the wrong place 😛

Maybe you can continue on the LBRY discord,

I'm sure there are lots of people willing to talk about cryptocurrency/attestation ledgers over there.

I've got lots of other places to talk about it, that's not the problem

there is no problem.

those are very wide topics

Its not as if someone said "lets have a channel to talk about rifles and no other gun types"

For one thing, don't confuse my concerns with Crypto with disapproval or dislike.

Cryptos are volatile, @RyeNorth There's lots of people who got rekt investing at the top... I don't want to be responsible for that, and that's why I stay from skeptical people. There's also the whole thing about scams. there's lots of them out there. people who have a natural interest will be able to do their own research better

My interest isn't in crypto as an investment, it's in crypto as a shelter.

bitcoin solved the problem of digital property. before that, you could copy and paste liberaly

it being a peer-based system, everyone has a copy of the history and anyone can send money. there's no 3rd party (like a bank) that can freeze your accounts.

it gets complicated, because there's not just Bitcoin out there

See what you should really be investing in is pre-'82 pennies because their copper value is worth more than a cent, so once pennies are decirculated you can melt them down for profit

for the sake of simplicity, it would be best to assume there's only bitcoin right now.
