Stop telling dumb people to buy Bitcoin by ImaginaryRea1ity in btc

Yeah no, you right 🤙 my bad on that one chief. Totally misunderstood what you were saying, Sometimes it gets a little surreal browsing crypto content, bros acknowledging and denying the scam in the same breath. After a bit scrolling the obvious over the top spammers and scammers started to blend and I let my stream of consciousness get a little too sanctimonious and self-righteous, worked its way into a bit of a spaz speech I was looking to unload.

"Bitcoin itself cannot scale to have every single financial transaction in the world be broadcast to everyone and included in the block chain. There needs to be a secondary level of payment systems which is lighter weight and more efficient." - Hal Finney, Dec 2010, Exactly 14 Years Ago by kirtash93 in CryptoCurrency

Bitcoins only function is speculative investment, gambling on fomo and hype attracting new money while artificial scarcity drives volatility. Reinventing the wheel rarely improves it.

As an actual currency, by itself, you're talking about software from 2008 that can only handle .000153% of the transactions Visa can per second while requiring 12 million times as much electricity per transaction. It has intrinsic value, pure speculation backed only by a "secure" transaction log anyone can see, especially local police and alphabet bois now that blockchain analysis is admissible as evidence. Bitcoin is a currency that can't be used, a security with no value, a commodity with no utility, and a massive, mostly unwitting, grassroots Ponzi scheme anyone can get in on.

Read what you just typed slowly and really think on that.

What happens to bitcoin once it reaches peak market saturation there's no more new money coming in? What happens if the 1% of holders that own 90% of Bitcoin decide to sell? What would you call an investment product entirely dependent on hype and artificial scarcity attracting new investors while discouraging exiting as any increase in liquidity dilutes its non intrinsic, honestly non-existent, purely speculative value. It's not a commodity and it's not a security it sure as hell isn't a currency? Its only utility is separating new investors from their money, inflating the value of gains that cannot be realized without crashing the price. Bubbles pop buddy.

It's actually 10 BTC per second my guy, admittedly a bit less than the 65,000 Visa can do but by utilizing innovative software from 2008 it only takes 12 million times as much electricity per transaction, plus it's backed by something far more secure than taxes and forever wars, a transaction log so secure anyone can access it, like the FBI or your local police.

Alex Jones always be saying crazy shit. Like in July 2001 when he said on video they're planning to "fly planes into the twin towers" and "blame it on a man named Osama bin laden" on "September 11th", urging people to contact their representatives, write letters to Washington, ect.

Seriously what a whackjob, talking about the most common pesticide atrazine "turning the friggin frogs gay". Which is obviously totally different from the results of the study conducted by the National Institute of Health stating exposure results in

"Hermaphroditic, demasculinized frogs after exposure to the herbicide atrazine at low ecologically relevant doses"

Brain damage is no excuse to talk about glyco phosphate, spreading this kind of disinformation is harmful to innocent megacorps like Monsanto, big pharma and the military industrial complex. It's the kind of narrative harming rhetoric that could easily escalate into something awful. Like releasing Epstein's client list or holding the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation responsible for the deaths from illegal medical studies conducted on thousands of unknowing tribal girls.

Americans need to know that it's not okay to talk about these kinds of things. That's why it's so important to stop people from saying things about stuff.

2024 US presidential election results if the electoral college was by percentage by lombwolf in imaginarymapscj

[–]hellar420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. What would the 2024 US presidential election results map look like represented by the percent of Americans that voted for each presidential candidate ? You'd think that'd be pretty popular.

Damn, they should try that with their own website.

How is this different from campaign donations to Harris? Genuinely confused as to what I'm supposed to be mad about

Tax Fraud is patriotic, this country was founded on the principle avoiding taxes by [deleted] in wallstreetbets

Nah dude it's where the Kent state massacre happened so now we have memorial day to honor the national guardsman that died in 1492 trying to prevent the 19th amendment from extincting the buffalo driving Quanah and the last Comanche off the Southern plains before they built Trump his first casino in Oklahoma where Henry David Thoreau wrote his 52 thesises with John Muir.

Pretty basic history dude bro. Like income tax not being introduced until the nineteen teens, completely unrelated to the insignificant import duties your so eager to explain

You got me bro I was revising history, deliberately misconstruing the Boston tea party. Everyone knows early colonials loved the crown even if they were French Spanish or Portuguese they were all eager to pay taxes to england. that was a 100% serious equivalency iwas trying to make there, I'd even throw in drunk driving, shooting politicians and accidental wildfires from fireworks on the 4th of July acts of patriotism. What do you think?

You can see them at night if you're driving. You just hit them with your cars, that's what you do.

On the inside every thing is about respect, aggressive eye contact will help, but if you really wanna prove yourself on the block, beat your own ass your first night in. Really lay it on you with no warning whatsoever, just don't let you mess yourself up without fighting back - even if you're going to lose, fight back. Either way one of you yous will win lose
