JUST FUCK MY WHOLE LIFE UP
I missed the real golden bullrun, and all because I never browsed Jow Forums
I traded 4000 bitcoin for 50 euro steam gift cards at one point. The faucets, though, no matter when you 'got in,' were always a shitty meme, and a waste of your time.

Shit like this makes me wanna kms myself.

You needed thousands or hundreds of bitcoins to trade for anything back then, user.
If you had good hardware, you could mine coins faster than you'd get them from other sources, but good luck doing anything with it. Bitcoin wasn't really accepted anywhere until 2012, when bitpay came into existence.

Any sleepless nights over that?

No, the only reason I got into it in the first place was to experiment with internet funnymoney. The guys first getting dudes to accept bitcoin in trade for them using real money to buy Papa John's pizza, to the specific Papa John's to accept bitcoin in trade, to them setting up the first version of bitpay, was amazing to watch.
And now you get mocked if you use your tokens for anything that's not speculation or shitcoin purchases.
nerds are unironically the first to spot all financial trends. Slashdot, without a single doubt, is always years ahead of the curve in terms of knowing what will be making money for the next decade. The only complicated part is that all the old boomers hate every single new thing that comes out. If you stop listening to the comments, and only pay attention to the articles, slashdot (and I guess Jow Forums) will make you billions of dollars in your lifetime--this is an unwavering guarantee
this should be proof that still buying bitcoin is retarded.

In 2 years you’ll be digging through archived biz threads and see DCX and feel that regret of not getting in at .65c a pop when they hit $1,000 each >www.decentrax.io They are 60% off right now 173 DCX for 1 ETH They are building the tools for things like concert tickets, home titles, car pink slips, etc to move onto the blockchain and a DEX where peer-to-peer or enterprise-to-peer trades can happen. This means that they will take over companies like Ticketmaster and it will be impossible for a con artist to sell a fake ticket, just like you can’t sell a fake BTC. Honestly this project is going to be huge, plus their team is networking and ASIC chip specialists who pioneered their respective industries, good luck

i live in the same city as the OP of that thread. Fort Wayne, Indiana. im robbing him

>Slashdot i just went to their webstie. pic related was on the frontpage. just fuck my life up senpai. its unironically over
This attitude is what ruined the whole idea. You guys are too busy worrying about 'missing out' to actually get shit done.
Jacob Roberts
Wait till we get to 2026 and the next crop of bagholders will be like brah, a lambo for only 10 btc
Nathan Williams
I just did the same thing. Great website but now I am sad after reading that.
Brandon Moore
Well I personally put $1000 min into projects like this, I have picked a few. I also done sell the second the ICO is done or they hit the market. I see the long vision and know that the blockchain is the future and cashing in today for good gains will be like selling Amazon stocks when they broke $100

>shuffling to party rockers i was literally doing that in south korea in 2011

You can still experience the real golden bull run. Just by Skycoin and wait 5 years. It will be like buying BTC at $1.
Oliver Lopez
i looked at the "study" and it's a blogspot post
one thing i can think of is this: there ARE a lot of scams and shells in this part of the game still. if the authors of this investigation wanted to paint a bad story, they could target clearly-BS startups and assault them with questions about their claims. boom, no call back.

>I missed the real golden bullrun sorry to say: "yes, you did" back in Dec 2010 I was depressed as hell, lost my job, some savings tho, and wasted my days reverse engineering sf2 on MAME debugger and mining BTC just for the keks never thought of selling you know what happened next now it's literally a money tree, kek

You don't need an actual study to see that there are 0 'blockchain' products that do anything. There never will be any that do anything.
The 'tech' is trash for everything except the obvious, which is to create a ledger, which is then used to route secret internet money between people so you can buy drugs and be a rebel without a cause.

This. Literally the only use-case for blockchain is privacy coins. Everything else is just a meme.
