further up the thread, you were the one who said something to the effect that if someone gave you enough money you could easily destroy Bitcoin in about a few seconds, or something braggadocio like that. that's more than just a little hubris here. i never said something like that about POS. you are the one who keeps insisting it's a "fact" that POW can be destroyed. i never said something so definitive like that either.
It is a fact that it is possible any PoW coin can be destroyed, just as it is a fact and PoS coin can be destroyed. If someone has enough time, money, reason, and gives enough effort it can be done much easier than you would like to admit. Give me a billion dollars and I will show you.
i find it also interesting about the circumstances of your scammer debacle. you borrowed Bitcoin. and in 2013 before the huge run up. someone who truly understands Bitcoin would never do such a foolish thing. those of us who do understand it know that it's a deflationary currency that's likely to ramp in value. part of that understanding is that it's a secure technology. no wonder you got trapped in a debt you couldn't pay back. now stop and think for a moment; a rational person would try to learn from a major error like that. like what went wrong.
it doesn't sound like you have.
I did learn a lesson. Never get a loan denominated in Bitcoins, as the value fluctuates wildly and it can lead to never being able to pay back the loan. Don't act like you know what is going on inside my head in regards to that, and talk out of your ass when you say "I didn't learn a lesson." Are you psychic?
I believed Bitcoin would rise in value. Ask anyone that knows me irl. I just didn't think it would rise in value as fast as it did. It went from $150 to $1200 in 4 months. I think just about everyone did not expect such a huge run up in price that quickly. That would have pretty much been best case scenario predictions in August. If it were so easy to tell that it would do that, then a lot more people would have bet huge... only a handful of people did that. Hindsight is 20/20.
Anyways.. enough about me. I mentioned your involvement with Hash Fast because it was applicable to the debate... poW opens people up to get scammed by ASIC manufacturers. It seems you want to talk about our personal issues, so how much did you get paid out of customer funds to shill for Hash Fast? How many free mining rigs did they give you which were paid for out of customer funds?
