If the Internet fails, we can still say that we were entertained and educated, and then go on with our Internetless lives (which would be effectively impossible).
If that would be the case we will find some alternative way that can helps us to entertain ourselves and learn different things like what he said that it effectively help him to learn on how to manage financial, and of couce us people need to know where we could find a good way to learn without internet.

It's the greatest show on Earth for me at least. Even if it expires, it's still going to be an enormous footnote in history. It's a pisser that so many people have been burnt in the story so far but I've learnt a vast amount from it all.
It is kind of a soap opera on steroids.
If Bitcoin goes on to fail (which is very very unlikely) we can still say that we were entertained and educated.
have it,enjoy it...

It is kind of a soap opera on steroids acid.
FTFYThe knowledge that I have gained has also been very valuable. I now have a MUCH better understanding of the financial system and related matters.
Bitcoin and its blockchain technology will transform the way humans exchange value for eternity ... on this planet and beyond.
This worthwhile old thread faded away too soon, imho.
"We have been entertained and educated"
Reality Check:
Many people have been 'entertained' by the BTC story since 2009. // Status = Confirmed
BTC will transform the way humans exchange value for eternity ... on this planet and beyond. // Sci-Fi fans and others who actually believe this
= Thank you for the inspiration as we blast towards an uncertain future. // Status = TBD``````
It's the greatest show on Earth for me at least.....

Original thread Title:
We have been entertained and educated.
We have been entertained == Yes
We have been educated? = ??
BTC (1st worthless, then Huge explosion in value) >
LTC (Stable at 6 cents (!) USD ;; then explosion in value) >
Crappy Coins (IPO's) "No comment" > More crappy coins >>>> and then many, many, many, many more.
ETH is invented > (after some time..) ICO Credits! (Now we have the birth of Magic Money on steroids!)
Tokens > Your shiny new Tokens will fly out of smart contracts and you do not want to miss this one! // and then many, many, many, many more.
Introducing!
Endless BTC forks, with over 700 more crappy bags of smelly poop!
#Learn from history
We have been entertained == Yes
We have been educated? = ?
#Stop the madness, how?
Do You want to see an endless series of BTC forks? How can we learn from history and do something better?
Now you start to ask the question ...." Why do other people not see this? "
Because they don't think about what money is and how it works. As a consequence they don't understand the process of fiat money creation and they don't understand that they are the losers in this process. They don't understand that those who control the money control every aspect of their life.
I have to agree with you on that.... We do not know what we do not have, until we have seen other options.
We know PayPal and most of us have a "Hate it, but have to use it" attitude towards online payment methods.... We use credit cards and we see the flaws in that, but we "have to use it" ......Then came BTC
You quickly learn how easy and secure online shopping can be with BTC, and you start to take control of your own "money"
Now you start to ask the question ...." Why do other people not see this? " I also learned a lot from BTC other than just the currency value.

If Bitcoin goes on to fail ...
... I buy gold.education = done.
Hopefully nobody knows about your gold when private gold ownership is prohibited - again.
if bitcoin fails which i doubt it can happen anytime soon, something similar will replace it for sure. something like what IBM was working on. i'm not saying that's the one that will replace bitcoin but if it fails, there will be a replacement.
It was obvious from the beginning that this was an interesting experience which one can learn from. Well only if he really wants it. Although I have my doubts that bitcoin can fail on a global scale. We'd all have to stop using it for it to die. I just don't see that happening. Anyhow, continue learning useful stuff!

The outcome of steroids is reduced genitalia. Do people really love that?
with me, girls would think it's super awesome 
The reason I don't like “If Bitcoin fails” threads is that they start with a pessimistic (and at this point, unlikely) point. The tendency is for technology to evolve, even if it's slowly.
Women love steroids? I think you got that wrong.
are you taking it literally, or are you saying they don't like the outcomes of steroids? b/c not all juicer guys look like arnold

However, we're going off topic here.

whoa, what we have here is an educational soap opera on steroids then. women love soap operas and steroids, so it might be good to mention those when telling girls about btc
It is kind of a soap opera on steroids.
Exactly. But educational too.
Everyone, please don't focus on what I said about failure. I already think bitcoin is a success. The point of the thread is to show that we benefited in more ways than one.
Bitcoin becoming a global powerhouse is inevitable. It's a train that wont stop.
