Hey, you remember that guy? The one who pretended to be a supervillain so he could get beaten up? What was his name..? Captain Carnage.

Dan Dreiberg:
Yeah he was one for the books.

Laurie:
You're telling me! I remember, I caught him coming out of this jeweller's. I didn't know what his racket was. I start hitting him and I think "Jeez! He's breathing funny! Does he have asthma?

Dan:
He tried that with me, only I'd heard about him, so I just walked away. He follows me down the street… broad daylight, right, screaming "Punish me! PUNISH ME!" I'm like "No! Get lost!"

Laurie:
What ever happened to him?

Dan:
Well, he pulled it on Rorschach, and Rorschach dropped him down an elevator shaft.

[Pause. They both start laughing]

Laurie:
Oh, God, I'm sorry, that isn't funny.

Dan:

Jeezus Christ!! , My younger brother's name is Rorschach! And get this.... I used to beat him up for squealing on me!
Next time him and his wife are over for dinner, I'll be extra vigilant and I certainly won't call him an asshole.... because you never know....

Without bitcoin there is no crypto, no digital currency and no use case of blockchain technology.

To be fair, I think a few use cases for blockchain technology exist - like cryptographically reliable timestamping of certain transactions. The shipment industry could be an example, or the stock market and the clearinghouses behind the curtains, where strict timing and prioritization of trades could be made transparent. The only important property is that you can't touch a past block without invalidating later ones.

However, such an unwieldy, inefficient, slow thing as a non-permissioned, fully distributed blockchain, with PoW, ...well, then of course there would be no need. Except for bitcoin Wink

the problem is that the only thing that is unforgeable is the transaction history of the used decentralized token. the only thing that a bitcoin protocol can guarantee AND enforce is the genuineness of the token. it cannot enforce anything outside of the protocol. they are called token because all they can do is represent. the tokens can not be attached to any thing in the physical world. supply chains or transport chains cannot be trusted only because some software is used. a bad actor can always just betray the system, the software cannot enforce anything. the bitcoin protocol can enforce the the rules that make a bitcoin a bitcoin. this is a closed system. since it represents money (which is an abstract concept, that is why has so far reaching consequences) we get a money that is not forgeable, cannot be censored, etc, etc. the bitcoin protocol could not represent a container or an egg to make it a "honest" egg or container.

Exactly this. Blockchains applications which are not currencies are worthless because any extraneous data added to the blockchain can be fake. Only currencies do not require anything to be added.

However if you have time, participating in all the airdrops and "promoting" altcoins, you might make some dollars, that you can convert in sats. But it takes a lot of work, that might be better invested elsewhere.

I participated in lots of airdrops back in the day and tbh, I made out like a bandit.
But that was then and this is now. Early adoption and all...
Probably why I still have a soft spot for "insert here"....

IIRC Stellar (or whatever the fuck its called) still owes me like 5000 coins but the thread disappeared awhile ago when they started a new one.

Meh I never was here for profit anyway.

Thanx so much.

Wasn't aware the film existed. Excellent copy. Downloaded and ready to watch after dinner.

Silk road was how I first learned about Bitcoin.

It was pretty biased but I shouldn't have expected less.

I hodled a good amount of an altcoin I got entirely for free, my stash was at some point worth several BTC, it dipped some and I made the fatal mistake to buy the dip. Not only did it dip more, but it never recovered, I sold at a loss.

Never again !

Viva Ut Vivas

The reality that the n00bs do not understand is that they could just 100x their trades in bitcoin to have the same affect they get with altcoins because they're "too late".

The alts will crash 100x when bitcoin crashes and alts can only hope to go up 100x with bitcoin.

If you invested in an alt and you do not acknowledge that you are essentially in a ponzi scheme hoping you are in early and are able to get out before collapse then that's your gamble.

I'm not sure how to 100x your bitcoin trade but if you have n00bs telling you they're too late, just tell them how to 100x trade a few satoshis for the same experience as you.

Yes, also uses for things like copyright, patents... Government use also makes sense, every citizen expected to connect to the government blockchain, and people get their official stuff through that.
