I wonder how butthurt will you be when Bitcoin is over 50k usd.

>nocoiner cope, the post

why would it ever get that high? what is bitcoin contributing to the world

Don't worry, you will be butthurt that we became millionares while you where coping on the sidelines doing whatever you do. Hopefully you are either a millionare, have a good job that you like and are not a wageslave, if not, you will be mega butthurt.

thats actually an understandable question and a legitimate concern. but ill tell you what its contributing that nobody is giving it credit: innovation

bitcoin uses up incredible amounts of power to mine it, and the hardware costs, both monetary and resources, are exponentially rising at an unsustainable rate

which means 2 things: either everyone stops mining bitcoin (lol) or companies devise ways to making computing technology more efficient, cost less, and use less resources

bitcoin will drive the path towards hyperefficient technology and quantum computing due to its slow and inefficient nature

every goddamn post with this jpg has some smug retard nocoiner trying to look cool during dips

how exactly are you going to become millionaires? bitcoin already had its run, now it will slowly crumble. same with ethereum. all other coins are even bigger jokes

i would never participate in this "market"

i'm sure they're only doing that to be "first movers" in the space. too bad no one cares about a shitty little asian company's payment methods

Then why should anyone take your opinions seriously? You have zero skin in the game and thus your opinions are completely worthless.

You have to store the private key somewhere, and if someone takes your private key, then you've lost your funds.

This is like arguing that if we randomly chose to stab 25% of the population every year, it would rapidly incentivise better medical technology.

It would incentivise medical technology, but it would also be awful....

password-protecting your key or using a memonic as a key is still insecure as you may forget the memonic or the password in which case your funds are again lost forever.

Ok, good luck with your wageslave life i guess.

first post i've made

that's like saying i can't criticize a ponzi scheme (like bitconnect) unless i'm balls deep in it, which is obviously not true

Its one of a dozen companys I work with that do the same, this east asian one raised $100 million and no one knows at the company that they pay third world workers to do the bulk of labor except one department and its only possible due to crypto. Otherwise theyd have to go through a middleman. They honestly dont care that no one knows and none of them announce it anywhere for PR as its their competitive advantage. They do it because its cheaper. You miss the point of crypto like most people but thats just the stage all of this is still at.

>none of these coins have any practical use

Steemit is a decentralized social media platform that has more use than almost all coins right now. Its a highly censorship resistant platform which is very important these days and it also has live stream video images and various other tools.

If / When EOS goes live it will be a platform to make platforms like steemit and god knows what else.

Steem and EOS are THE fucking coins right now.

so they take advantage of an untapped desperate workforce using scam tokens instead of hiring local workers for an honest wage. gotcha

Obviously im a boomer, nocoiner, etc. Just please guys don't put more money than you're willing to lose into crypto. Make sure you've paid off your debts and have 3 months expenses in the bank before you put money in.

Look, if you have no skin in the game, your opinions are effectively worthless.

If your opinions on Bitcoin were worth anything, you would be short right now, you would back them up with actual money.

You have no skin in the game -> you have nothing to lose by being wrong -> your opinions are effectively worthless to me

i wish i got paid for this shit

yes, i admit i wish i bought bitcoin at the beginning of the ponzi. i'm just wondering why the rest of you are propping up a dying ponzi while the early investors are clearly long gone

would you go to a casino that's only game was openly manipulated by the casinos themselves? would any sane person want to play that game?

Its more than they could earn locally, but yes its far less than they would have to pay a first world worker. This is really the way things will keep going. If a developing world worker can do it far cheaper than you and it doesnt matter if they perform the work online, it will end up being done by them. Fortunately it will raise the wages of the developing world, but unfortunately it will probably lead to a decrease in wages in the developed world. No one falls for the argument anymore about muh poor first world workers, you're outnumbered by the untapped desperate workforce and automation. Invest in ponzitokens today to try to get rich or get left behind in the global workforce.

You can easily short Bitcoin futures on a regulated futures exchange like CME.

But you and all the other faggots like OP won't because that would involve having skin in the game rather than just shouting at people incoherently from the sidelines.

Nocoiners are truly a pathetic breed.

> again, no point in playing a rigged game. i suggest you do the same
So you admit your opinions are for all intents and purposes worthless? And that you have nothing to lose by being wrong? Why should ANYONE take your opinions seriously in this case?

You can short on a well-regulated exchange like CME.

Yes, but than you already lost

i don't think you understand what i'm saying. it isn't the platform that is rigged. i'm sure a well-regulated exchange like CME won't scam me out of money. i am saying the entire market is rigged unless you're an insider, so i may get lucky or whatever shorting but i'm not a degenerate gambler anyway.

Dow Jones just partnered with a major crypto currency. I guess Dow Jones is a scam too? I'm sure you are much smarter than them. Sorry you missed out on the biggest financial opportunity in your lifetime.

So you have no stake and you expect people to take you and your opinions seriously when you have nothing to lose by being wrong? Why?

Bulls and bears are in a constant chess match and you are sitting on the sidelines screaming to anyone who will listen that chess is rigged and you shouldn't play. And then you wonder why people consider you an irrelevant idiot.

>Or google how to buy bitcoin with a cc
I am asking about selling bitcoin for dollars.

>Yes, but than you already lost
I just mean as a way of extracting the value out of whatever amount of BTC I have into another form of wealth. Also, how would I buy physical gold with BTC?

Now here's a copypasta I haven't seen since the last bullrun

Yeah I can see that, a lot would have to change before it could really see global adoption and normal fintech is working on speeding things up on their side so who knows where all this actually goes. I still view the main purpose of cryptocurrency as just an online digital currency, something internet/community owned up until 2013 when people saw it moon to $1k and then MLM/getrichquick people rushed in and worked to push it to the current bubble. Either way its interesting to see it all unfold.

You sorta miss the real point of crypto if you plan on holding just to later exchange it for fiat money. The real goal and purpose is to use crypto to buy stuff and as a means of storing your wealth (instead of having it in a bank), and being in full control of your own finance (instead of banks controlling it and giving you permission to send and receive). You can buy stuff already, and it will become more easy as time goes by. More and more (normal) online shops are accepting BTC and (more importantly) BCH as payment.

Which? Also, I am not that user that doesn't even know what a Ponzi scheme is.

and which one would that be? do you even know what the dow jones is?

>The Dow Jones Industrial Average, or simply the Dow, is a stock market index that shows how 30 large publicly owned companies based in the United States have traded during a standard trading session in the stock market.

so 30 companies from the dow jones partnered with the same cryptocurrency? IBM partnered with stellar yeah, but i'm guessing that was to stay relevant.

Well I did say I was new. Also, I can't pay my rent with Bitcoin. I still need dollars for things like that.

No, I'm not trying to go 24/7 bitcoin living. Just trust me... I, in my situation, need a good way to turn biitcoin into physical stores of wealth or into liquid currency in the United States and Canada.

Look man, I said I was new to this stuff. When I did some googling for a way to turn bitcoin into dollars or buy things with bitcoins, I got dozens of exchanges. I am new to cryptocurrency, so I don't know which t trust yet. This is why I am asking.

It seems like everyone is saying their way is better and more secure, etc etc. I want a straight answer from people that know, not someone trying to sell me on a service. I have been in sales (fundraising, really) long enough to know not to trust salesmen.

okay, shitposting aside
If you just like to speculate on the price, go with the well established and regulated exchanges like coinbase (I hate to recommend it but it is the easiest). You simply have to register, go through a know your customer process (provide them proves that you are you), send them money per bank wire and you will receive your coins in the wallet they provide. If you like to sell them again, just hit the sell button and bots will buy em. If you like to buy stuff with whatever coin, go to the page of the seller, copy paste his coin address, use your coinbase GUI to send bitcoin to tthe sellers address and receive goods. Try not to be scammed, means don't send a blinking elk asking for your credit card number the coins. Do your research on whoever you are dealing with, coin payments are not reversable

After Blockstream had taken over Bitcoin and changed it in many ways and fucked it up, the original dev team (in other words not Blockstream) simply renamed Bitcoin to "Bitcoin Cash" (BCH) and the limit was increased to 8mb, from 1mb. That's it. It's that simple.

BTC is the fork - the highly modified version of Bitcoin. BCH is the original Bitcoin.

For those of you who have a hard time understanding this, think of it like this: It's like you have a friend who was a great friend and a great person, but then some really bad people began hanging out with him and they tricked him into doing some nasty mind-destroying hard drugs and they also turned him into a faggot and a leftist. That would make you upset/sad, because he's no longer the same person you remember and you no longer want him as a friend, or at least you wish he would return to his old self. But what if you could get a "copy" of the original version of that friend from the time before he met those bad people who changed him for the worse? That's what BCH is. It's simply the original version of that friend + the friend now lives in a bigger house (8+mb vs 1mb) .

>governments try their hardest to keep people away
aside from china, is trying their hardest? india? their banking regulatory body just said they wouldnt get involved with the market. india didn't pass laws that forbid crypto, nor did the country impose criminal sanctions. south korea? check the news again, they are backing off their recent hardline stance. other goverments are not only allowing the use of crypto and peripheral crypto trading products (like margin) but they have made indications to regulate. that means crypto isn't even a grey market where the law is like "it's not illegal, but its not legal either."

>none of these coins have any practical use
coins have demonstrated over the last 10 years their value as a means for speculative trading. theres also the black market. people move pounds and kilos of product using crypto.

Like bcash trying to get rid of Nods having voting rights to make it even more centralised
Fuck, nuts are really delusional and useful idiots

No seriously though, if you don't even trade other markets shut the fuck up. That's like someone who's never played a sport trying to tell an athlete of said sport how to play.

But if quantum computing actually gets devloped, bitcoin is finished
256-hash keys would be as safe as a 4-character numerical password, making blockchain technology as a whole completely unusable

Taxi companies aren't fond of Uber, either. Doesn't mean they don't end up fucked. The same will happen to governments courtesy of cryptocurrencies, because they are simply better money than state fiat, and there is nothing the governments of he world can do about it without completely destroying their power structure.

No matter who is right in this argument, it's a damn problem. If people become widely aware of Bitcoin Cash, it weakens the value of both Bitcoin and Bitcoin cash, because it creates confusion in an already confusing subject. Any person in sales can tell you, when a customer feels confused, they just close their wallet and leave.

This is a damn problem for both BTC and BCH, and has the potential (sorta remote, but worth paying attention to) to destroy the value of both currencies, and therefore literally destroy the wealth they represent.
