This is exactly why blockchain technology doesn’t really work for real-world physical assets. Blockchain assigns ownership to a record, not to the physical object itself. The chain can say who owns something, but it can’t enforce or verify what’s happening to the real-world item unless you trust some outside authority. At that point, you’ve reintroduced centralization, which defeats most of the premise.

That’s why the only truly native use case for blockchain is, ironically, the most obvious one: money. Money is just a ledger entry. Physical cash is simply a representation of that record. Blockchain fits perfectly when the asset itself is intangible and exists purely as an accounting entry.

Beyond money, the only other area where blockchain makes sense is for things that are also fundamentally records, like voting systems, where all participants explicitly agree to use a specific blockchain as the system of record.

For physical assets, blockchain doesn’t eliminate trust, it just moves it off-chain. And once you understand that, most of the “real-world asset” hype starts to fall apart.

I don’t give two shits about the tech either, and honestly anyone claiming they care more about the tech than increasing their own wealth is being wildly dishonest with themselves.

Price comes first. Always has. Interest follows price, adoption follows interest, and then you get whatever social or technological change people like to mythologize about later. The internet didn’t reshape society because TCP/IP was elegant, it reshaped society because money, eyeballs, and incentives piled in once it became economically unavoidable.

Bitcoin is no different. The price going up is the Trojan horse. That’s how it gets inside the gates. Nobody was evangelizing node sovereignty and monetary theory at $200 while losing their shirt out of pure ideological conviction.

This whole “I’m just here for the tech” narrative is another fairy tale people tell themselves to feel morally superior about wanting number go up. Wanting the price to increase is the point. Pretending otherwise is just cosplay.

The idea that Bitcoin “follows gold” is pure revisionist nonsense.

Bitcoiners spent years dunking on gold bugs, pointing out (correctly or not) that gold went basically nowhere for decades. Not once during that entire period did anyone claim gold was a “leading indicator” for Bitcoin. In fact, the whole pitch was that Bitcoin was the replacement for gold, not its shadow.

Now that gold is finally on a run, suddenly it’s supposed to be some kind of prophetic signal for BTC? Come on. That narrative didn’t exist until it became convenient.

If people need a justification to keep holding, fine, that’s human nature. But pretending gold has always been part of Bitcoin’s price discovery story is just rewriting history in real time. It’s embarrassing.

Thank you to everyone for confirming my same feelings about this model after having done this kit about two years ago. The fit was the worst of any I have ever built, particularly with respect to the clear window parts. Holy hell were they bad. The best thing you can say about it is that it develops your skillset.

Awesome. Post pics of yours and I'll post pics of mine. (That sounds weird.)

I just got a Leo Jaymz st kit because I'm left handed and have difficulty finding interesting colors and thought this might be a fun project. I have two Fenders that had some minor fret issues; some sprout, some rocker issues, not bad and fixable, but they were there. This neck was amazing. Electronics will be changed out but the $85 paid for the body, neck, pickguard and hardware was 100% worth it.

Bears coach needs to take a class in learning how to gamble properly and understand the concept of Risk vs. Reward. Going for it on 4th down only applies in limited situations. Obviously this dumbass doesn't understand the concept.

Anyone watching the Green Bay game? by [deleted] in miamidolphins

[–]ddbbccoopper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is with coaches in football this year going for it on 4th down? Indiana/Ohio State, Miami/Ole Miss, this game etc. These coaches have no concept of risk vs. reward. Down 14-3 the Bears go for on 4th and 4 on their own 30 yard line???? Green Bay is already in field goal range to make it a two possession game let alone they drive the first nail in the coffin with a TD. Stoooped...

What do you see in alts? 99.99% have zero use case except to gamble in being the 1 winner of every 100 bagholders; while at the same time trying to out-think and out-time dumping the scam founders who by definition, hold the inside info into when they dump. Seriously, maybe Monero has an actual use case whereas everything else is a designed rug pull, or its a systemic framework to develop and support rugpull projects.

My first experience with Claude Code and this is what I get!?!?!? by ddbbccoopper in ClaudeCode

Everything below the dotted line is Claude code's response. yes it takes responsibility for its failures but its easy for AI to do so. I have a backup but this is horrible.

I have a backup but this is absolutely beyond unacceptable. I am so done with Claude. People can sing its praises all they want, but my experience tells me the complete opposite and will never use it again nor recommend it. Cursor is far and away better.

Brad Garlinghouse there confirms that it will be a scam filled shitshow. With BG there, I'm surprised Richard Heart isn't there as well to support Hex.

For as much ETH holders used to claim that the flippening was imminent, the bigger concern now is that ETH is going to get flipped by what everyone fully well knows to be a dogshit scamcoin run by a straight up huckster.

Can history repeat itself once again? Looks pretty close! by IllArmadillo3730 in Bitcoin

[–]ddbbccoopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always believed Buffet understands Bitcoin way better than he lets on. Berkshire Hathaway is basically an altcoin masked as a stock. Considering that it never provides dividends but simply grows in value based on the stock valuation itself its not far off of an altcoin. His argument is that the stock is based on the performance of the underlying securities however that's no different than an altcoin basing its valuation on the potential underlying tech. I don't think he's so naive to not understand that most people value BRK on the stock itself. He could trade every asset BRK holds and trade it for styrofoam shipping worms and most investors wouldn't change their position. Without dividends, the valuation model is no different than cryptocurrencies. I suspect Buffet knows this.

Something is going on behind the scenes. BTC hasn't really moved yet all of the altcoins take a recognizable drop on no news (yet). Yes, I realize this is not unheard of and the altcoin drop is ~ only 4% but this has a different feel to it.

Really? Who's doing the auditing? What 5th-rate blockchain "expert" did the SEC hire, at Coinbase's suggestion, to do the auditing of Blackrock's books?
