I just bought my first bitcoin. Exciting. Could some please share the actual S.R. 2.0 link. Thanks.
I really like what you did there.
That newbie is not me.
The Bitcoin Goddess is NOT PLEASED. Guess what She does when She is not pleased.
Yes, Jorge, I'm well aware of that. I thought it was a good joke, is all.
Look, the thing is that although you make
some useful points, and you are consistently
polite in doing so, you are becoming increasingly
strident. The fact that you very selectively choose what to argue - and a lot of people have made some very good points against some of your mistaken assumptions recently - means that it's not really worth engaging with you. Literally no point, because you appear to ignore anything that doesn't fit with what you already believe and move on.
That, unfortunately, effectively makes you a
very polite troll. And I mean troll in its proper web-forum sense here, not just 'someone who doesn't agree with you'.
Thanks, Cassius. Nearly 100% my own sentiment (although I hesitate to put a "very polite troll" into the same mental category as a regular, barely intelligible, run-of-the-mill troll... but that's a matter of taste I admit). Please note the unnecessary highlighted parts that I especially agree with
It is a shame. But then, I don't think the Speculation thread is the right place for Jorge, anyway.
Imagine a room full of people, not a big room (a large garage maybe) and they and cooperating to build something. It's not quite tangible yet, most of it isn't clear and even more is still at the conceptual stage on paper or being discussed. There is a real purpose though each person is an individual in their own right with their own motivations with some leading, some following and some involved on the side lines.
Now imagine an additional figure sat in the corner of the room in a big leather arm chair with a big pile of text books a hot (non-alcoholic) drink and a pipe to complete the theoretical image. He is watching the proceedings with vague disapproval while reading through the books and tutting every now and then.
Occasionally one of the group will come over and and try to explain what is happening in the room but it is often futile and met with misunderstanding, references to the books and a general view that whatever is being built "just won't work" and "things just don't happen this way".
No disrespect meant but this is how I view Jorge and the day he buys bitcoin then I know I can start to take some serious profit because then bitcoin will be established in the mainstream. Hell, that pile of books may even have a positive bitcoin book or two added to the top. Hopefully not a negative book but as I consider myself to be an *involved* in the room I believe that at least whatever happens and whatever is built it will be unique and it's not often you can say that.
When the internet came along nothing like it had come before and the same applies to crypto currencies.
In 10 years time *something* will come of crypto and bitcoin and frankly it's extremely tough to predict in the same way back decades ago nobody could have predicted half the things we take for granted today. This forum being just one example.
