A reporter is doing a story on the proliferation of alternate crypto-currencies, and the future of alts in general, if you are interested in being interviewed on the record (real name and phone interview) let me know immediately so that I could pass your info to him.
You must be seriously into alternate CC (min 10 hrs a week engagement), this would be an excellent opportunity for community leaders to speak intelligently about their respective coins, and CC industry in general.
A reporter for which publication?
Some blog writers have been known to call themselves journalists.
Associated Press (AP)
can't get more legit than that, especially on the worldwide stage
Being a stringer for AP myself, I've never heard of AP reporters outsourcing interview subjects or sources to a third party.
So pinch of salt and all that.
your profound skepticism is noted, please also note that skepticism without cause is needless disruption
You could've ended with the first part of the sentence, and I would've had no reason to post again.
Instead, you chose to end it with a throwaway insult.
Of course there is reason to be skeptical here, of all places! Only a fool would think otherwise. This is Bitcointalk.
You seriously expect no skepticism by leading us to believe that you are an intermediary for an AP reporter?
An AP reporter that lacks the basic ability to find a proper and reputable source from the cryptosphere?
Do you realize how ridiculous that sounds to me? And you dare call my light questioning disruption?
If said person exists, let's hope his/her editor never come across this thread.
I could have ended it any way I wished, and you to could have not started the misplaced prejudice to begin with.
Your skepticism wasn't to advance knowledge but rather to test integrity, your line of questioning was an attack based on preconceived notions (as indicated above).
As for "cause" foolish reasoning isn't cause, cause should be rational, reasonable, and responsible all of which were absent from your causal argument.
The simple fact is your prejudice was unjustified, and your reasoning is for attempting to cause unjustified alarm was irresponsible.
As for anyone seeing this thread, it's a public thread created in a public forum for public consumption, it supposed to be seen.
Yes, you certainly could have ended it in any fashion - and you chose the worse possible way to do so.
My original question was met with a silly boast, so my skepticism was/is entirely within reason. Even Gavin Andresen and Charles Lee would jump at an opportunity to speak with an AP reporter, yet here you are claiming to be the intermediary of one.
My subsequent, entirely justified response, was met with an overblown verbosity meant to impress. Alas, it fails the basic test of comprehension and context (do you even know what causal argument means?).
Apparently you failed to understand the last line of my post, so let me simplify it: if your imaginary AP reporter exists, his/her career prospects would be greatly diminished if his/her editor stumbled upon this juvenile method of research.Of course, you can greatly embarrass me by producing said AP feature article when it is published - but we both know that's not going to happen.
Again, you apparently bring a host of prejudices to the table, you not only see and hear what you want, you apparently process the info with narrow reasoning.
You started off on the wrong foot then place the other in your mouth, if that wasn't bad enough you proceeded to slip on your own silly notions and false assumptions causing you to fall flat on your face; instead of getting up to walking away in shame, you choose to dig in with more of the same.
Obviously you're an over zealous unbeliever that is clearly focused on being irresponsibly disruptive and unproductive.
That means when this is all said and done, you will not only see that you were wrong from the very beginning and every step of the way to the very end, but that there was no reason to be so wrong.
Let me explain the socioeconomic effect of what you are experiencing right now.
"Bitcointalk" is the center of many vectors and forces at the moment; the explosion of crypto currency has lead to a large education gap, which some exploit with cheap scams.
that's the darker side, the better side if we want to be positive is, the expanding infrastructure and general education.
there are many example; governments are quickly becoming aware that some sort of decentralized monetary system is very likely, they are of course (as always) torn between their citizens and their owners (generally banking corporations).
all that is very much a sideline however as the "citizens" (sisters) are to quote the song "doing it for themselves", as far as creating micro businesses and infrastructure little by little.
whats the future?
centralized monetary systems will stagnate and become more "extreme" (humorous and ridiculous) which will in turn drive more citizen toward alternatives.
if you want an example - a good one is "Stagflation"
Stagflation
is the best fried of crypto currency, the effect of higher "cost of living" which in turn squeezes both wages and profits for SME (small and medium Enterprise )
this can also be called the "misery factor" - because the "stag" part of Stagflation also means "financial monetary experts" think there is "deflation" so generally move monetary policy that way.
all this drives SME to seek alternatives, and it will only take a few segments of the infrastructure to pay unhappy miserable staff in ratio say 30:70 30 a basket of crypto and 70 paper, and soon the market will figure out that the 30% is driving the business so that becomes 50:50 then probably 70:30 etc.
and basically fiat Debt paper will kind of be forgotten as the joke it is and will be remembered as "that joke we got punked with for about 100 years".
cool story hey? i might get a job with AP !
: D
hahaha ... cool, but don't quit your day[trading] job
The part of your quote I highlighted in red I subscribe to with emphasis; I would also add that the CC industry need a lot more security on all levels, even woven into the blockchain.
