Lol jk, its because bitcoin is so revolutionary. That is why there are so many supporters. Even if it was worth $1 per coin it still has and will continue to change the way money is used worldwide.

Maybe someday, but we are talking about 'someday'. It's always talk and talk about the future because in the here and now, this shit is hardly ready for prime-time.

And since I have no interest in becoming a techie to appreciate and innovate gadget ideas like btc because I don't have to, I have no use for it. I can use a smartphone without knowing how to build one. That's why smartphones are a success and btc is still a steaming pile of shit.

Don't try to sell me a betamax and tell me it's Blu-Ray, and then complain because I don't wanna share an hour discussion about future possibilities or 'appreciate' the technology.

"Ease of use" defines currency. Defines it. Without ease of use, you got a bag of shit and have the fucking nerve to resent people who dont want to pay actual money for the worthless monopoly money you're shilling for.

Let me take a guess. You're either younger than 30 or 60+. Or maybe its just that you're not a techie as you say, or you would remember the first time the public got access to email and internet and learn from that.

I'll tell you, man. Assuming you were lucky enough to have an ISP in your vicinity, you then had to fight all the other users dialing in
and trying to connect. Sometimes it took hours to get connected. Finally you get online and now you've got to hurry up because you're paying by the minute for your connection, which is really a phone call. So you check your email and there's nothing because who on earth is using email but a bunch of geeks?

Screw email. You decide to search for some porn, only you can't see it in your browser because it's a text-only browser, so you start downloading a few pics for later viewing. They're taking ages. You're slowly racking up a phone bill. Hopefully they'll be worth it. Then... DOWNLOAD FAILED. Your wife/mom must have picked up the other phone. Fuck this Internet shit! It will never catch on.

That's how it all started. I hope you're doing great with your envelopes, stamps and wrinkled Playboy magazines. Peace.

This analogy is fantastic and funny. Good job sir.
