No one becomes like Vlado because of where they live, or their race, or their religion or whatever. That's pure propaganda used to make them feel justified in their beliefs.

It's an entirely individual mistake and no one should judge a community or group based on one broken person like that.

It might be the most intellectually devoid thing someone could ever post. "Yo instead of discussing this with people you could just use a search engine to find the REAL answer"

It's not a discussion if the person starting it knows absolutely nothing about the issue and is also closed to any new info because they believe they know everything already

No one is saying to master a subject before making a topic about it, but at least TRY to understand the absolute 2+2=4 basics so people know you are actually capable of having a discussion on the subject

I heard this one is the first AC that is a breath of fresh air to those who have had AC fatigue since AC4. Is that really true? I reallyyyy want to play another AC game but I just physically do not have the energy for it.

Also AC3 was and still is one of the best ACs and the haters don't know what they're talking about. It has by far the fewest and most streamlined/enjoyable mainline missions, only matched by AC2. Plus it has amazing, storyful side content that isn't very grindy, and really good minigames (remember it invented boat combat). It's the polar opposite of the AC fatigue feeling that AC4 epitomized.

The more I think about XV the more enraged I am that they managed to pass off this clearly unfinished demo as an actual game.

They really didn't manage to. MGSV for example passed it off way better (most people think it was just missing an ending when really it was missing an entire middle and most of the beginning too).

XV at least has a beginning middle and end, even if it's a barebones slideshow. It's satisfying to finish, like reading a draft of a screenplay.

It's hard to rank XV but it's definitely better than the weak entries to the series like XIII, X, and VI (all fine games, but also drastically flawed)

Some people in the accounting world have made a big stink that the blockchain is BitCoin's great contribution to digital currency (wiki says it was the first blockchain ever). I figured that all that processing power was put toward the blockchain in some way, as that's the main thing that made BitCoin unique in the first place. Guess not!

The blockchain was invented for bitcoin and it IS its greatest contribution

All that energy does go towards securing the blockchain so it's not exactly a waste in that sense I guess, but it's still just trillions of garbage calculations

I used Coinbase as that seems to be the biggest, but a buddy who's big on this told me Coinbase charges higher fees than some of the other services out there, so I might roll my coin into another service.

You can use GDAX which is Coinbase's exchange which has very low fees, but it takes a week to deposit your money, which can mean you miss out on a lot of growth, so the fees on Coinbase might end up being worth it

I do understand the rationale behind a bullish attitude. What makes me hesitate, though, is that Bitcoin's already gotten huge (at least compared to traditional companies). As of today, Bitcoin has a larger market cap than companies like Disney or GE. If it hits $15k like I have seen speculated, it'll be right there with the world's 10-20 largest companies in terms of size.

Bank of America's market cap is about twice that of ALL of bitcoin, and all it does is HANDLE money in the US alone. It doesn't even produce anything. Simply handling USD is enough to make it so massively rich.

There's like 50 TRILLION dollars out there in the world. Not to mention euros and other fiat. That's what bitcoin is replacing, not Disney, not Bank of America. So in that sense, bitcoin is still MICROSCOPIC.

I don't think it will replace all global fiat like that at all, but if it replaces even a 1% share of all global money, that's about $2 trillion at $100k each. Entirely possible.

But yeah even today it's still super niche and the vast majority people either 1. don't know how to buy it, 2. think you need to shell out $10k at once to buy a whole one, 3. are afraid due to ignorance/propaganda

Imagine if everyone in the world knew just as much about bitcoin as you, a normal guy. How much higher would it be? That's why it's a super safe investment. It can only really go up, unlike Apple or even index stocks.

I feel like around 2012 it entered the savvy nerd mainstream, where if you followed tech you would have heard about it.

Actually being easy enough to buy (Coinbase) must have been around 2014 during the first spike up to $1000 which crashed to $250. Then for the next 3 years it just slowly built up its technology and confidence again, and now it's very solid and starting to enter non-nerd mainstream (but still savvy).

But yeah I bought in around $850 during the first spike, and thought I lost it all when it dropped to $250. Kept it around though. And I'm still keeping it and buying into it. More ETH than BTC though.

Technically it's not but the correlation is probably like 99%

It's not at all though. That's pure propaganda from the 2 party machine. Literally NOTHING political has a 99% correlation, but that's what they tell you so you will hate people for having non-standard opinions.

It's super easy to see how wrong this is too if you just talk to actual people who disagree with you. In this case, when you look at the intellectual hipster crowd like Lasa, you find a lot of liberals who are against public education.
