Not only do you not read anything I say apparently, but the reason I dotted in frustration was because DOGE isn't the only asset on Robinhood plummeting due to locked trading. Centralized finance is garbage.Robinhood being garbage isn't because it's centralized. What a dumb argument. There are plenty of other exchanges that are operating correctly and they're just as centralized. Also, are you saying that doge is dropping because robinhood is being shit like it's always been? Dogecoin itself is decentralized and yet it dropped a huge amount in a short amount of time. You were so caught up in your horrible argument that you failed to understand anything beyond that. You're always two steps behind. --- |

Say, 2008...Bitcoin has spent the majority of its short lifespan in a down market. That there are a few pump and dumps doesn't make it a great investment. It is nothing more than speculation (i.e. gambling). That doesn't mean gambling can't pay off. ChocoboMogALT posted... Guess I should convert all my money to yuan and rubles. Too bad those are just monopoly money that you can't use anywhere...I've made my complaints about crypto clear. It's not my fault you cannot read. Again, calm down, take a deep breath, and actually read my posts instead of freaking out and jumping all over the place with things like your dumb comparison to yuan and rubles. Not all fiat currencies are equal and you picked those currencies specifically instead of, say, the Canadian dollar or Japanese Yen because you're a disingenuous hack (i.e. the typical cryptoshill). --- |

| 1337toothbrush 05/08/21 4:21:48 AM #136 | ChocoboMogALT posted... You've constantly attacked crypto as "worthless", not backed by anything, going to crash, and all sorts of doom posting. Now you're only complaint is that it's a currency? If bitcoin lasts another 60 years and I die, what do I care if it eventually fails? If doge crashes tomorrow back to .1, it's still up significantly from 1 month ago. If I can buy and sell crypto 20 years from now, crypto has succeeded. If it outpaces inflation, bag holders win, even if they lose tomorrow or a month from now.You need to calm down, take a deep breath, and actually read my posts. I haven't changed my arguments, I'm just pointing out the many problems with crypto. ChocoboMogALT posted... As if you don't understand governments (can crash) and non-instrinsic values of things (see: all of my examples).If the US government crashes, you're going to have huge problems that your dumb cryptocurrencies won't solve (on top of the problems they already don't solve). --- |

What happens when the world doesn't believe in the USD anymore and is coming for the US debt?The first part already happened in 2008. The next part is a wild hypothetical that's not worth entertaining not only because of the really tiny chance of that happening, but also because there would be much bigger problems if that did happen. What's not just a hypothetical is: what happens when crypto crashes again? Have fun withdrawing a fraction of what you put in. Maybe you'll keep your money locked up for years in the hopes that it'll blast off again in the best case? Just need a once-in-a-century pandemic to have money flooded into the market to inflate asset prices. --- |

Your funds are your funds because you cash out for "real" money anytime you want.That's not an advantage of crypto over real money. ChocoboMogALT posted... In the past 100 years, high end purses and watches have held their value better than the USD. It wasn't because they had intrinsic value as a good, and they weren't backed by any government, but people want them. Even some video games have outpaced inflation, even with wear and tear. TCG price are taking off because people realized that packs are highly undervalued at retail prices.Dumb comparison. Those aren't currencies. The argument that cryptoshills make is that crypto is the future. The future of what, exactly? KyleHigashioka posted... Oh, my bad. Do you only use cash? Do you keep it under your mattress or in your floorboards?I can withdraw my money from the bank at any time. If the bank goes bankrupt then the FDIC is there. --- |

| 1337toothbrush 05/08/21 2:58:17 AM #10 | ShyOx posted... imo ETC is destined to succeed BTC. Bitcoin has too many drawbacks, and a billion coins are lost forever. Satoshi also holds a billion coins themselves. It's slow, taking ten minutes for any transaction unless you get lucky timing wise, so you have to have something tethered to it to really use, or set up a second system of accountability that neuters the whole point of the block chain. It has all the drawbacks of being the OG.Why would ETC succeed BTC instead of ETH? --- |

You just keep throwing out stupid talking points that all cryptoshills like to proclaim.

"if it was going to happen, it would have already happened" without a qualifying premise is a non causa fallacy.I was told by another cryptoshill in this topic that "the US government and credit card companies have been using crypto for a while now" so apparently it has already happened but I've yet to actually see evidence to back those claims. --- |

| 1337toothbrush 05/08/21 2:27:33 AM #118 | MICHALECOLE posted... Your example is bad, so that makes mine goodYou're getting awfully upset and defensive over my criticisms of crypto. You are gambling with emotions instead of investing with intelligence. If you were so confident in the underlying tech, then you'd be able to articulate the value that it brings instead of rattling off a list of talking points from whatever cryptoshit websites you religiously follow. KyleHigashioka posted... Please don't mistake my views against DOGE as support for your stupid FIAT arguments.You write out FIAT as if it's a magic word. A currency being a fiat currency doesn't tell the whole story. It's like saying Zimbabwe dollars are just like US dollars. Similarly, there are differences between cryptocurrencies, but they all have fundamental problems of scale (which will require sacrificing the decentralization aspect if they wish to scale better, bringing you back to square one) and that governments and banks will not sit idly by and let something just come by and eat their lunch. Cryptocurrencies that are shit at being currencies like bitcoin and doge are dominating the scene. What do you think that tells you? --- |

Not even cryptoshills can tell you what makes crypto great.

Did you know that the US government and credit card companies have been using crypto for a while now?How they're using them makes all the difference. Show me what you consider significant usages of crypto by the US government and credit card companies. You can convert to USD any time you want, but the value when you convert is key. Watch out or you'll be left holding the bag. Best case scenario would be that the cycle repeats again and you only have to hold the bag for a few years. Guide posted... You're not making any sense. You said it yourself, any companies accepting coins are converting them to cash -- what do you think people do when they want to spend their coins? Convert and withdraw.Stop and think for a second, then it'll make sense. If crypto was the future, companies would be accepting cryptocurrencies outright instead of requiring a service to do a conversion to real money before actually accepting the transaction. I didn't say crypto wasn't a good short-term gamble, but that's all that it is. --- |

| 1337toothbrush 05/08/21 1:17:06 AM #98 | KyleHigashioka posted... 8. Oh, and the final nail in the coffin for centralized institutions such as banks and exchanges is that DeFi is working towards establishing a lending platform that can analyze your entire credit history and offer loans based off both your established funds and your history of paying back your debt. The entire institution couldn't even handle giving out mortgages without nearly bankrupting the entire country in 2008. I'm genuinely smiling that you continue to place your faith in them.I don't have faith that the institutions work to our benefit. I have faith in them throwing their weight around to put a stop to any competitors, such as crypto. You continue to ignore this simple and obvious point. It's as easy as putting in the claim that "we need to crack down on drug dealers and money launderers" and crypto is toast. That they haven't done that up to this point only means that crypto isn't significant enough yet. --- |
| Topic | Doge all time high again |
| 1337toothbrush 05/08/21 1:17:03 AM #97 | KyleHigashioka posted... 1. There is literally no difference fundamentally between FIAT and Bitcoin. They both can be described as digital currency that has zero intrinsic value. The value is arbitrary decided by the global market. Since the early 1970s, the value concept of Bitcoin has already existed in the form of the US dollar. The "lol bitcoin has no value" bullshit can be directly applied to the US dollar, and basically every currency on the planet that isn't directly backed by another material we arbitrary gave value regardless.No fundamental difference except for the US government backing the US dollar. Don't try to handwave the value backing the US dollar, you're only fooling idiots who don't know any better. If there's really no fundamental difference between the two, then why was bitcoin created? Seems pretty damn redundant, don't you think? KyleHigashioka posted... 2. Bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency. That's it. In the crypto space, it is useless garbage that is only valuable because it is the standard reserve currency for the market. The same as how the US dollar is the standard reserve currency for the global market. Not everybody in crypto takes Litecoin for example, and not everyone in the world takes the Euro or Yen. But literally every corner of the world will take the US dollar. Same concept goes for bitcoin. Beyond that, Bitcoin brings nothing to the table.This point directly conflicts with point #1. If there is "literally no difference fundamentally between FIAT and Bitcoin" because "they both can be described as digital currency that has zero intrinsic value" then what makes bitcoin useless garbage while your favorite cryptoshit is so great? KyleHigashioka posted... 3. However, with Bitcoin came the mass adoption of the blockchain. Following it came networks such as Ethereum, which can be compared to the Swift network Visa uses for bank transactions. Except in the case of chains like Ethereum and Cardano, the entire network is on a public ledger and cannot be interfered with. The SWIFT network is private and is ran as a company with rich people invested in the network itself. Gee, I wonder which one is better for the people. Guess what uses a shit ton of electricity as well?You're comparing electricity usage of major financial institutions to crypto which handles a tiny fraction of the transactions. It's this sort of misleading bullshit that impresses drooling morons, but doesn't impress people who have even a basic understanding of how this all works. By the way, all plans to reduce power consumption in crypto involve some degree of centralization and/or proof of stake. You do know what proof of stake means, right? It means that those with more coins hold more power. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss KyleHigashioka posted... 4. The blockchain itself can be used further for completely trustless interactions. Imagine security that is not determined by any outside input. It's determined exclusively by the network itself, and cannot be changed. The amount of use cases for this is insane. And no, it cannot be "hacked" either. There is only one unique hash on the entire network and it cannot be manipulated.This is like claiming the titanic is unsinkable. Nothing is unhackable. KyleHigashioka posted... 5. "it's using so much electricity" is a shitty argument to make considering the culmination of every average 1st world person contributes way more electrical "pollution" to their environment. This isn't as simple as "stop using gas for transportation" where a better alternative already exists. As it stands right now, there is no better alternative to fucking electricity aside from nuclear energy (gl with selling that to your neighbor) and whether you like it or not, the benefits of the blockchain will win out for the future. So you should honestly just get used to it, or better yet - start advocating to ban electricity and move onto something else as the basic universal fuel for literally everything we do. Attacking Bitcoin or crypto in general is just you attacking a scapegoat for a bigger problem that isn't being addressed.I wasn't making the argument, but since you seem to be going down the list of common talking points that all cryptoshills seem to have, I guess we'll have this discussion anyway. The only thing shitty here is your defense. Your defense amounts to "it's okay to waste tons of electricity because a bunch of electricity is being wasted on other things anyway". KyleHigashioka posted... 6. Crypto is moving towards being decentralized. In 2017 the only way to buy Bitcoin and anything else was through Coinbase and other major platforms. Then in order to get alt coins, you needed to deposit into an exchange and trade through there. That is just an unnecessary step where you lose the rights to your own money and have a centralized entity in control of them. Decentralized Finance (DeFi) is the future where exchanges become obsolete. People can trade assets with their own wallets, no middle man. This concept can be directly applied to banks as well, making the use for them pretty obsolete.Actually it's becoming more centralized in order to cut down power consumption and increase transaction rates. DeFi relies on the hope that crypto keeps going up in value. When the next crash occurs, you'll see it all unravel. KyleHigashioka posted... 7. Speaking of banks becoming obsolete. The only reason your money is "secure" in the bank is because it is insured. And the only reason the insurance works is because it is backed by FIAT, which exhibits the same exact "flaws" you take issue with Bitcoin for. So think long and hard about what happens in the future if the value of the USD plummets. Not only are you worth less, but you might not even be entitled to your remaining funds. Gl with that.What do you think happens to you when your cryptoshit takes a nosedive in the next crash? Crypto swings wildly in price even in the good times while the USD trends at a steady pace. Stability is a huge advantage of USD and it's something that has yet to be demonstrated in crypto. There are "stablecoins" but those are built on claim that each coin is actually backed by a unit of fixed value. Tether is a huge scam and they're being investigated as we speak. --- |

| 1337toothbrush 05/08/21 12:22:55 AM #92 | Bullet_Wing posted... So "real" to you is purely a measure of perception? So if enough people consider crypto a valid currency, wouldn't that be "real"?The US is not just "perceived" as the foremost superpower, it is the foremost superpower. Get out of here with your postmodernist take on currency. It's not even "your" take since it's the same laughable bullshit that all cryptoshills started parroting after bitcoin has been shown to be really shitty as a currency. It's a pathetic attempt at trying to bring everything else down to their level. The reality is that the US backing the dollar comes with it other key points: it's legal tender for, and I quote, "all debts, public charges, taxes, and dues" and it's backed by the economy of the US. Additionally, if the US sees crypto as a threat, they will act on it. The US has absolutely destroyed entire countries for lesser reasons. Do you honestly think crypto can take on the US and win? The regulations haven't even started (which is the true value of crypto, that it hasn't been hit with regulations yet). Even under your own criteria of "if enough people consider crypto a valid currency, wouldn't that be 'real'" the fact of the matter is that most/all businesses that accept cryptocurrencies as payment don't accept the cryptocurrencies themselves, they accept the USD that they're converted to by the payment service they use. I'm in a topic about crypto to give my thoughts on the topic of crypto. You know what's actually a giant waste of time? Repeating the echoes of an echo chamber. --- |

Based on what evidence, if there's a crash, the next rise will inevitably be higher and with countless corporations deciding to back crypto more and more, it'll lead to more stability than ever before seen in the crypto market.Past performance does not guarantee future results. Also, a lot of corporations "backing" crypto are merely providing means for regular morons to give them their money. All the companies that "accept" bitcoin as payment actually accept payment through a service that instantly converts fake crypto money into real money. --- |
