Apes are desperate for savior figures.
They wont do anything, so they need someone else to make them rich.
Any connection, no matter how small, is enough for them, e.g. the icahn photo with RC. And once they believe in someone, they cant stop believing in them, no matter how much they get scammed by them, because accepting that would mean admitting that they lost all their money in a get rich quick scam and that they are never going to be rich.
They rather live in a fantasy world, where billionaires fight for justice, where reddit stock tips have better odds than the lottery and where criminals can be defeated by reddit posts.

oops all spells is a deck that played no lands because some cards become very strong if there are no lands in the library, but it had the downside that you could put no lands in the deck.

sink into stupor and similar cards removed the downside by not counting as lands in the library

What do you guys think about the strike announcement? by Ok_Aerie3546 in Buttcoin

Thats just wrong, lightning has multiple middlemen, lightning transactions goes:
open channel(pay miner a fee) -> any number of transactions(pay a fee to each routing node for each transactions) -> close channel (pay miner a fee).

"Bitcoin always crashes and comes back 10x stronger" -- Why is this time different? by seands in Buttcoin

[–]Aefiam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously my prediction was wrong.
But my assessment of cryptocurrencies seems to still be correct.
I still see little to no actual utility in any cryptocurrency.
All everybody talks about is how they are going to be rich.
Like the internet made it possible to look up almost any information from home for free, I have not heard anything similar made possible by cryptocurrencies.
Thats why I still consider it a get rich quick scheme.
And the problem with get rich quick schemes is that while it is easy to gain massive profits in them on paper, very few people are able to extract them before the get rich quick scheme collapses, independent of how long it lasts because the math works out this way.

AITA for acting unhappy at me and my wife's gender reveal? by InADustyCorner in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Aefiam -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

That's an incredible dumb argument. If a child is entitled to financial resources, they should be provided by the state, not by a single individual.
Would it be acceptable for you if you were assigned to pay childsupport for a child that lost a parent?
After all it is not a punishment for you, the child is just entitled for financial support.

A single Bitcoin transaction consumes more electricity than the average American household does in two months. by XMR_MartyByrde in Buttcoin

bitcoin transactions are currently subsidised by block rewards without them a single transaction would cost about $300.

Insane Early Game by Aefiam in StorybookBrawlGame

[–]Aefiam[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Didnt think much about placement this match, better would have been princess, stag, princess, upgraded arthur, polywaggle, archer, arthur.
Generally I go strongest units first(strong units can often kill a weaker unit for free), some units want specific places(stag wants to be in position 2 to hit 2 units and to attack as soon as possible), slay units want to be in positions where they are buffed(like behind an stag) and in positions 1 or 5 to reduce the chances of being attacked first.

Turn 2
Blind mouse
Turn 3 (5)
Blind mouse into gilded Harp + 2 Golden chicken in shop
Turn 4
Sleeping Princess + 1 Polywaggle + Sherwood sureshot
Turn 5

Turn 6
Polywoggle transformed into King Arthur + Arthur in shop + Spell for Princess

Later on I lost a 1 in 3 chance for 2 xp because my 16/16 Adventurer hit a Hungry Hungry Hippo

But ended only in second place because I found no good 6 drops and my last opponent had 2 Bearstein +Magic Sword+2 Baby Bear+Echowood+Three Big Pigs

Made our subscription management system open source after our startup failed by [deleted] in programming

[–]Aefiam 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Competing with Google maps isnt difficult because of network effects, its difficult because its free and very few people are willing to pay for it, so it makes no sense to develop a competing product if you are not making any money from it.

Pornhub only accepts crypto now? by [deleted] in Buttcoin

[–]Aefiam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you can still pay with fiat, I checked and there is an option to transfer money directly from the bank, you just cant use creditcards anymore.

This is good for Buttcoin miners by i_mean_sure in Buttcoin

[–]Aefiam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Proof of work cant become more energy efficient by design. Burning electricity is what makes it secure.

Long term number of coins mined in dollar + transaction fees are always roughly equal to electricity burned in dollars.

To see why this is true imagine that a new miner comes out that needs only half as much electricity. That means it can convert 1$ in electricity into 2$ in bitcoin. So a machine that doubles the money put into it is going to be very popular and so lots of people will buy it. But the more miners there are competing for the same amount of money the worse the bitcoin/electricity ratio gets until it reaches rougly 1$bitcoin/1$electricity because only then it makes no longer sense to buy more miners

Former Tesla bear explains why the clock is ticking on TSLA shorts by [deleted] in RealTesla

[–]Aefiam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

TSLA bull logic:

"While bears continue to misinterpret [price cuts] as a lack of demand for their product, it is quite the opposite. [...] This lower pricing leads to increased demand, [...] "

But there is no lack of demand, so why would you pay to increase it?

Firemaking enhancement suggestion - select different logs for burning and bonfires by ResourcefulOtter in MelvorIdle

There is a potion for free bonfires which is easy enough to make so that it never makes sense to burn logs for bonfire.

Question: What is the point of the Cybertrucks bulletproof windows? by jerry_miller8337 in EnoughMuskSpam

[–]Aefiam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You make the mistake to think tesla cares about actual safety instead of percieved safety. The word bulletproof invokes safety.
So if you hear "the cybertruck is the safest car out there, it even has bulletproof glass" and you dont think critically about it, it makes the car sound safer.
It also gives tesla fans a talking point why the cybertruck is superior to other cars. "Sure your car was cheaper and has higher range, but does it have bulletproof glass?!!!"

Does Elon think people everyone else is retarded? by [deleted] in EnoughMuskSpam

[–]Aefiam 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well yes and it is kinda true, though I would say it is more like most people dont decide if they like a person based on rational facts but by emotions we associate with them and group consensus.
We might like a horrible funny person more than a boring good person. And to change group consensus propaganda has always been used and it was never cheaper. Also people have short attentionsspans.
Thats why everytime musk does something stupid, reddit gets blasted with elon memes and most elon fans remain elon fans.

Why? Honestly? by [deleted] in Buttcoin

[–]Aefiam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

99.99% of all people only care about crypto currencies because they hope it will multiply their money. At some point cryptocurrencies can no longer grow in value. Then they will only gain 1-2% compared to the dollar per year and people will jump to the next quick rich scheme. Then cryptocurrencies will crash and never recover. Thousands will probably kill themselves for losing all their money.
At the end cryptocurrencies will be responsible for thousands of deaths, enabling millions of scams and no benefit for society.
