Re: Why Bitcoin Fails as Currency of the Future

The ones with greater amounts of x and x only.
Not true. Yes someone with more x will have a greater advantage, but it will always the middle class that sets the default. A mechanic can't just wait for a super rich guy to drop in. How often do you see a super rich guy in the place you live, just walking into a super marked and buying the whole loot?


But, if there's no global currency, then the mechanic is going to have to be much more thoughtful in what he could accept as payment that would be of value to him.
Not true at all, someone selling a local service will always have to adjust to the local conditions.


Global currencies create classes of social rank, and with it, greed.
Unlike how local currency works today?

Posts count don't set the character, it's just there to filter out trolls, so please don't use as a argument.

The main post is a bit hard to read, you may might need to break it up a little better (dyslexia whoo hooo).

That out of the way I have to say that it's very hard to figure out the value of things, as some people might even value flying into towers as a greater value than their wife, kids and friends. What is the value of a currency? It's all about how many people use it, and that's all we can really say, and then in the future we can tell what really happened.

Even if there is something wrong with Bitcoin it does not matter, there is something wrong with religions and statisme, and they are super big. There are some really skilled people on Youtube that produce amazing content, and they have few viewers, and there are these who get 100000 subscribers underservingly.

Value is a unknown variable, only testing can take samples of it, and only marketing can alter it.

I just want prices to be stable - at any price.  It wont be useful for payments until then.

So long there is no huge changes happening to Bitcoin over 7 days then I think it will be all fine, people are more flexible then they give them self credit for.

2-4 weeks? How do they count the online hours? Doesn't f5 all 10 mins count?


Why would it not? It is kinda silly but if it works then it's worth it.

"Explaining bitcoin to friends"

First you need to explain why the currency they are currently holding is worth its weight in paper, and less so in the future. Then you can move on to Bitcoin.

The deal is that when explaining a concept to others you have to put yourself in their shoes, WHY would they move from a paper currency they have used all their life to something new?

That was enjoyable, and I also like how bitcoin makes it easier to donate to youtube artists.
