Hello author! I understand you very much! But you really think that you can just ask and people will stop make any transaction? It will be paradise if all people here will be like big family and stop make it but I don't believe in it!
It is not impossible. People are known to do even more amazing things when they come together on something.
Perhaps organizing an event of sorts is in order. Like the Earth Hour when people turn their lights off, just for Bitcoin, or something like that.
Sorry but I don't believe in solidarity here in this community but maybe it's only now such situation! About Earth hour...come on...people kill people, starts wars, make deforestation maybe they think that money make oxygen? I don't believe in big full of solidarity crypto family especially when we are talk about money. Hope I am wrong..
People still do Earth hour. There is no reason for this not working in Bitcoin. It is money, yes, but people donate money all the time for a better cause.
Andreas Antonopoulos received millions of dollars recently with BTC donations by community for his hard work in promoting Bitcoin over the years.
This isn't even asking people to give away money, just stop using it for a short amount of time.
Why are you all trying to use bitcoin like money? Bitcoin is for profit, like an investment. If you make a few thousand on your investment you pay a brokerage fee (exchange fee, transaction fee) to sell it. Big fucking deal! Stop trying to use bitcoin to buy shit! Hold it until youre ready to sell and make your profit.
Stop bitching about transaction fees and delays. Google wallet is free and fast. Go use that to buy shit instead of bitcoin.
Bitcoin is still better as a currency then anything else invented so far. For you it might be for profit, but for some this is a new way that we use money.
After all, that is the whole point why the price goes up, because some think that one day it will be more useful then any currency we have today.
