hat’s why Bitcoin system is not a payment system. And now, a fan fact. Not only that Nakamoto’s tokens cannot provide utility to their holders. But the holders cannot even show the tokens. All that they can show are numbers in their wallets that represent the amount of the tokens.
I have been doing freelancing gigs lately. Guess how people pay me? Through crypto [highlighted to help out edgycorner.. you can thank me later.]
Paypal has a 10% fee in my country, international bank transfer takes weeks, other payment methods are equally incompetent or riddled with unnecessary fees.
But bitcoins and crypto [highlighted to help out edgycorner.. you can thank me later.]? I get paid instantly, I can convert it to FIAT whenever need be or hodl or convert it into something more stable
Your arguments are flawed and outdated.
Fuck shitcoins.. we are not talking about shitcoins in this thread.
Do I need to highlight what you wrote? [ok.. I did. you can thank me later.]
? FYI: Bitcoin is a cryptoThere should be no real need for me to repeat myself on this point, and I am not claiming to be any kind of omniscient person, either...
At the same time, some of the burden remains on you (edgycorner) to consider your own ways of thinking and communicating about bitcoin-related matters, refusal to appreciate bitcoin's dominance and prominence (through language), and even your choices to get defensive (take matters personally) and to go on the offensive regarding such passion that you want to argue "technically bitcoin blah blah blah" nonsense).....
I am still waiting for Snowshow to show more desperation and to commit some further argument errors by deviating in the shitcoin direction.. ... and funny thing is that as fucked up and seemingly disingenuine Snowshow presents, so far he has not gone into muddling the topic into even more errors by an inability to stay focused on bitcoin. .and his criticism seems to remained focused on bitcoin - which also seems to be the stronger attack that can be attempted to be made - even though at the same time Snowshow is wrong, deluded and seems to not really understand what the fuck bitcoin is.. but at least he is focused to go towards attacking the strongest of propositions in regards to his ongoing assertion that bitcoin has absolutely no value..
Snowshow does not even conceded that bitcoin might have a little bit of value.. hahahahaha He is going for the jugular to ongoingly proclaim that bitcoin has absolutely no value. .which does help with focus, while at the same time showing Snowshow as being very detached from even being able to assess basic concepts of the various ways of assessing value.
When someone like me is proclaiming that shitcoins need not be brought into the mix of this bitcoin-focused discussion, and also proclaims that using vague-ass terms like "crypto" and lumping bitcoin into that basket, those do not rise to claims about shitcoins having little to no value.. but instead claims that confusion and misleading ideas (about crypto or whatever it is that you are wanting to bring up) are being injected into conversations that are attempting to suss out various bitcoin value propositions.. and seemingly one of the central areas of contrast would be to compare what bitcoin brings to the table of traditional fiat money and the various systems built around fiat money that Snowshow seems to be asserting as being the best thing since sliced bread - and yeah of course, sometimes shitcoins can complement or supplement various aspects of bitcoin's value and utility.. but they still do not need to be injected into this kind of conversation without distinguishing them and by erroneously implying that they are part of a kind of equivalency to bitcoin.. when they are not. and shitcoin should not be implied in those kinds of equivalency to bitcoin ways because it is misleading/confusing/distracting at the least and not really adding meat to our conversation in this thread either.
