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