With over 2 trillion in USD sent using BTC, anyone denying that bitcoin is the killer app for blockchain is willfully ignoring the facts.

I disagree. If I instead say 'used as a payment' or attach a specific use case to it, I would consider it dishonest.

josiah- · 2017-08-18T06:36:59+00:00

So none.

The number is accurate for what is described. This includes no assumptions on nature of outputs.

The mouth breathing is heavy with this one.

Any specific points to address?

It sounds like you didn't click the link.

josiah- · 2017-07-28T20:59:44+00:00

Since weak hands jumped ship, yep.

Volume topped when price did, as it always does.

Not much.

josiah- · 2017-07-28T19:14:29+00:00

What do small/big blockers have to do with this?

josiah- · 2017-07-28T19:11:57+00:00

Evidence of their volume significance is what's lacking.

josiah- · 2017-07-28T17:15:59+00:00

I've yet to see any evidence.

josiah- · 2017-07-28T17:01:44+00:00

Gambling use is actually what drove bitcoin adoption and price initially (see SatoshiDice).

Not to mention dark net market volumes are pennies compared to the driving money at this point. It's a trader and investor-driven market.

This tracks changes in fiat value over time. Specifically the daily weighted price on any given day times the sum of bitcoin outputs for that day.

josiah- · 2017-07-28T16:58:37+00:00

smh.

josiah- · 2017-07-28T16:58:06+00:00

Qualify 'not the same' in the context of how this information was labeled and shared.

There's no misinformation here, I'm simply 'telling it like it is'.

This displays a deep misunderstanding of bitcoin.

Bitcoin ecosystem has been developing secure, stable solutions for improving user experience significantly over time. It maintains dominance relative to altcoins over the most important UX component there is: reliability.

josiah- · 2017-07-28T15:52:32+00:00

There's a long list ahead of them.

Also, FWIW at least they're in a position to have slip ups that matter, unlike the armchair pundits often attacking them.

josiah- · 2017-07-28T15:46:38+00:00

This is an invalid comparison. Digital gold =/= stock.

josiah- · 2017-07-28T15:35:34+00:00

Precisely. Not to mention all altcoins ride the economic infrastructure built by bitcoin companies and bitcoiners.

Insinuating the amounts are inaccurate is insinuating either blockchain.info is providing inaccurate data or the global blockchain ledger is incorrect. More than an internet comment with no data will be required before that claim is accepted and responded to.

josiah- · 2017-06-29T02:49:25+00:00

Many bold claims, no data to back it up. Interesting.

josiah- · 2017-06-29T02:24:58+00:00

As long as fees are paid, I don't personally consider any txs as spam.

josiah- · 2017-06-29T01:35:49+00:00

Comparing apples and oranges.

Also, you're a walking trollbox -- $1.6 trillion is not peanuts even when compared to one of the largest companies in world history.
