99,99% of ppl here are here only for greed, thats you included (you're implying you hold bitcoins to become rich by saying ppl who dont hold bitcoins will regret it, logically implying you're betting that its value in real terms will increase for your own good)

how's your hope for humanity now?

Indeed. Bitcoin will eventually be usurped by another blockchain, and that by another etc until there is a collective effort to formulate a less-pyramid like system. Either that or the crypto of the day will simply serve as a means for facilitating transactions of other currencies and assets that do not suffer the inverse pass-the-parcel method. This was completely inevitable from the start.

I would argue that wopwop is closer to correct about the greed statement when it comes to the alternate cryptocurrencies forum here.

But I thought Bitcoin was money for the Internet? Why do you wanna buy farms IRL? Do you mean Farmville? I'm completely lost.

Bitcoin is here to replace fiat.

Meh.

All I can say is: I hope it does, but I don't see it happening.

Go ahead and send me all your worthless coins and I will see to it that they are disposed of. Roll Eyes

Let's just hope you'll be faster than the next guy to catch OP's bitcoins on the downslopes.

P.S. Apparently, I'm not the only one working on the vaccine against the GOLD 2.0 bug. Cool

. I do not care about divisibilty as that is akin to inflation.

i hope the OP is a troll, posts like these make me lose faith in humanity!

The weak hands will look back with regret some day.

If it makes you feel any better, BTC's growth and history so far gives me great hope for humanity

Wow.

That's some amazing anecdotal evidence on the statistics you have there, thank you very much for enlightening me. /s

If you honestly think greed is the only reason BTC is what it is today, you need to pay attention and read more. A lot more.

Also, greed is hardly the only reason why I am here - it's a little something I like to call "not being a fucking idiot".

I believe in the underlying technology and it's potential for the future. That is true. If that is true, then it is logically implied that I want to have a part of it now. This is for a plethora of reasons that, which you were unfortunately unable to divine.

I anticipate further adoption
I have and will continue to use it, and encourage retailers to accept it
I'm working with others on projects that utilize BTC
Through using it, trading it, owning it I'm increasing my knowledge base about a very disruptive technology

I don't doubt that there's plenty of people here for greed, but for you to assume

says more about your own reasons than it does any other individual's - much less an entire community.

Lol 3 of your 4 reasons start with 'I' and the fourth one's about yourself too. Now I just have an even more increased feeling you're just here for yourself.

offnote:
'disruptive technology' lol. This is an upcoming hype word thats going mainstream!

I was giving you other reasons as to why -I- am here, in an (apparently vain) attempt to correct your flawed judgement based on minimal-to-little evidence.

The term Disruptive Technology has been around since the 90's.
