if you're scared of bitconnect, it's not a good start

You don't know what I'm for or against

it's not easy to deal with if you're the kind of person who gets viruses on your computer

BUT

the infrastructure is being built to make it more n00b friendly

it's a volatile asset, ther'es a shitload of scammers... it's not easy to deal with

so

Jesus you're condescending

if you're skeptical, stay away

You can't argue against my point.

it's a volatile asset class riddled with scammers

very dangerous. only criminals use it.

It's a fiat barnacle upon a fiat currency

hmm

You can say it's censorship proof, but it's dependent on being able to be bought or sold

Well, or laundered.

because people use it, there's demand.. but it doesn't depend on that

it still works even if it's worth $0

It is not that difficult to launder money into bitcoin through the exchange of commodities.

People use it because it's worth money

or "convert"

Well, it's worth different monies

silver is pretty useless since i can't use it at the restaurant, right?

including ones which are not mutually traded in any reasonable sense

it's pretty dependant on people wanting to buy it

It's also got practical uses.

and exchanges

so does bitcoin 😃

for example, you can buy bolivars with bitcoin

which is probably stupid

but heh

Alright, explain

Silver being pretty to look at is good enough I think

the censorship resistant forum i was talking about is built on a crypto

the information is on chain, no one can delete it

it does have some benefits, rye

the chain is a peer based database

it's just that they have failed to solve scaling problems with Bitcoin itself

and that is what is making it ??? currency wise.

everyone running a node has a copy of a distributed ledger of all transactions ever

the technology has some promise
