Somehow guys that talk about wanting "decentralization"
..end up saying we need an ANON coin.
The latter is just stupid because you will face the wrath of planet earth.
Sorry but smooth and his merry band of French men dev's are not going to
out secure the coin from the world.
Imagine YOU vs every hacker on planet earth backed by governments.
People like the NSA who can hire any cracker for any amount of money
vs smooth or what ever coding.. who will win that war ?
Duh ..that's who.
But you can't tell them this ..they are cocky and then cry "FUD"
They are morons.
And why the fuck is there sooooo many French accounts here swirling around Monero ?
I have noticed a LOT of the guys are all from France and the odd's of that are strange !
Puppets galore ?
Apparently people here are oblivious to the CONTEXT of things.
Even if the ever changing reputation of crypto could be turned around
you then have regulatory / law issues to over come. (for adoption)
There is a bloody damn good reason why Crypto has gradually been sinking and / or stagnating.
When i read roach's first reply here i thought ok well he seems smarter than me (at how coins work)
But the thing i thought was know what guys ? ..context !
This includes the outsiders view..
The general public in other words and ALL those smart people out there who have been looking
at Bitcoin + various Altcoins since 2009 and THEN they too coming to the same conclusions as outlined here.
What i offer is perspective more so than a mathematical solution to things.
Like as a software cracker i have made a career out of getting stuff done ..one way or the other.
I never did have to be the smartest.. i had to be the most creative with my angle / perspective.
It's a tantamount aspect of Crypto chronically overlooked & ignored..
i side with many of roach's comments and others.. it's not personal with people here either.
We are sharing our "perspective" on things..
And i too have a big problem with the pump & dump cycle bullshit.
And i say so because it's self-destructive on a far larger scale than most people realize.
It's effectively like a snake eating it's tail.. we have the majority of users tilt the scale of morality
and that gives them the steering wheel to the ship.
They then steer it head long into profit territory hitting ice berg after ice berg.
I see it all as no different than pushing the controls of a jumbo jet into the dirt.
Sadly even if i could convince the dregs of crypto ..the profiteer investards to fly right and do the right thing
it still would not matter ..because at the first sign of recovery that brought in the general public
the scammy dev dregs would go right back to ramping up the scam / cloning bullshit.
What is the barrier to crypto ? Tech implementation, LAW / Regulations
and the biggest one of all is the users involved with Crypto *already*
then of course the general public we all want to adopt and USE a currency as a "Currency"
I think we have the crypto guys keeping the public out... the majority are making sure they don't get involved.
You all think the general public honest legit people interested in USING a digital currency
want to jump in and get involved with a giant scam scene that is nothing but a massive P&D pyramid scheme ?
One day the public is coming ? I hear that year after year after year
And every year the majority here stains and give Bitcoin & Crypto a larger black eye and worse reputation.
Making it more & more unlikely the public is coming and more likely tough govt regulations will come.
The snake is eating its tail.. for chump change ..peanuts really (compared to real potential profits)
The snake can not be stopped either !
The snake is the majority and they control Crypto.. so this shit is fucked and doomed.
I see no escape and no light at the end of the tunnel.. no way to fix this sinking ship.
The more i have been watching crypto the more parallels i have seen in human history.
We do what we do..
No matter what if we are given the opportunity to fuck something up for short term gain we do it.
Crypto is no different.
Can we stop humanity from being bad / dumb / self-destructive ? NOPE.
So crypto is NO DIFFERENT !
This all relates to the context and perspective of things.. the context of the situation (the over view)
This can not realistically be ignored ..if you do it will simply bite you in the ass.
Know what guys ?
I think the general public out there that has little or no interest in this stuff are actually far smarter than us Cryptro nerds.
The have checked out crypto and have made their participation level here apparent / nonexistent.
..because they are smart and KNOW you would have better odd's at a casino than playing P&D scam for peanuts and at least the casino would be regulated unlike IPO scam coins on scammy shady centralized exchanges.
The public out there is smarter than crypto nerds and laughs at us and says uhh no thanks
