Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion
Just like html was to the development of the internet.
Please stop comparing bitcoin to html, e-mail or tcp/ip. These protocols didn't have the baggage of unit cost on their back.
If HTML would be like bitcoin, then new HTML adopters would have to pay monetary tribute to the earlier adopters of HTML to start using it.
Then HTML wouldn't have developed very far and people would have been motivated to create alternative options, without the baggage of those early adopters, who just want to earn on your expense, without doing anything themselves.
nonsense. when a person wants to use the bitcoin protocol, he or she can just do so. it´s free. (almost) no fees. if i decide to buy some sneakers and pay with bitcoin, well yes, i have to take some of my money and convert it into bitcoin. but that money is just the price of the sneaker - not the price for bitcoin. i don´t have to pay a premium because i use bitcoin. it´s free.
if one year later i decide to pay another pair of sneakers, and the price of bitcoin went up 10 fold, i would not pay more or less for those sneakers. the bitcoin network is free to use for everyone. you are mixing up bitcoin as a payment method with bitcoin as an investment in a strange way. and it sounds like you are bitter about the fact that you do not belong to those earlier adopters.
don´t be bitter. be thankful you did find out about it. you are an early adopter. join us & be happy.
