I’m not so sure.
Nobody will trust the Zuckfuck to keep their transactions secure or anonymous given his obvious alliance with Deep State and Leftists. Add that to the fact that Libra is tied to your very personal FB account, and you can expect no anonymity at all, or protection if you buy or sell something illegal.
No, bitcoin will still be much preferable for people who use such currencies. I’d see this Libra as trying to compete with services like Venmo to make person to person transactions easier.
Also Libra will be competition to bitcoin.

Can you not do that without bitcoin or crypto? I must be living in an alternative universe where this cannot happen....
Also there's a fraction of 1% where you would NEED money NOW on a personal level, excluding exchanges and financial institutions. It's already an option for many, but there literally isn't much need for transactions between people to happen immediately. And of course this tech has existed for years now, but "bitcoin" lol.
You dig a deeper hole daily.
Why would anyone want to send money within seconds?

Not zero. Some fools will hold on to their crypto and won't let go for less than 50 or 100 k per coin.
Do you think crypto is a ponzi or a pyramid scam? Seems more like a pyramid scam.
At least you have intrinsic value with tulips. You can touch them. Don’t you know that crypto is going to zero? All ponzi’s go to zero.

So tell us how much fiat you have invested in crypto and what that crypto is now worth in fiat? How much taxes did you have to pay on your profits?
It seems as though there are a lot of cryptocrazies that can't even answer basic questions about their "investments".

I will share details when I sell my cryptos and the fiat is in the bank or spent on more real estate. Guessing we will top out within the next two years.

"Pyramid schemes market to prospective participants while Multi-Level Marketing plans market to prospective consumers. Pyramid schemes fail because scam participants are not a viable market. Most of the participants pay more money to participate than they receive for participating because there aren't enough suckers left to recruit.
Once the suckers figure that out and quit paying into the scheme, those who recruited them start losing money too, and then they quit. The scam shrivels even faster than it grew."

a form of fraud in which belief in the success of a nonexistent enterprise is fostered by the payment of quick returns to the first investors from money invested by later investors.

Did you read the article?
They're digitizing what used to probably be a plastic chip or paper system. The actual value is still what the $$$ is worth. This has NOTHING to do with bitcoin. This is purely about a network to track the tokens. It's what your debit or credit card already does and will continue to do for 99.999% of transactions in that town (or others). But hey, earth shattering news in that link.... Jesus.
Bitcoin has failed as a currency and is pure speculation and you know it.
Weird, why would they use just 0’s and 1’s? They’d be better off planting some tulips. You can touch tulips at least.
Did you read the article?
Green suggested that Dublin’s SLP token might also be used to digitize the cities already existing physical tokens. In the past, there have been many local towns or city-issued barter-like systems such as Ithaca New York’s ‘hour’ currency and in Massachusetts there’s Berkshire bucks (Berkshares). The Ithaca hour is actually the oldest and largest local currency system in the U.S and hours are used for town bartering, discounts, and other economic interactions. Berkshares or ‘Berkshire bucks’ in Massachusetts is a local currency accepted by 400 local merchants in the mountainous Berkshire region.

You didn't read the academic article I posted on bitcoin, clearly. All it takes is one miner to get 51% of the blockchain and it's over. Not even that in certain cases for people to start to losing faith in it (which smart people don't have any, they're short term trading it to grab money from morons). Try to read it if you can. Bitcoin won't go away, technically it can't, but it will be essentially worthless.
The US government would actually be prudent to get into the mining game and wipe it out. The capital being burned from bitcoin will go down in history as the biggest transfer of wealth from the many to the few. Productive investment into other things besides bitcoin helps everyone (and yes the rich too). The US gov has an incentive to shut it down.
When it crashes you'll change the argument to "blockchain" like they did last time it crashed. This will be a rinse and repeat as the dead cat bounces. "To the moon," well, "blockchain at least."
Of course you cannot ban bitcoin. Where would you even send the letter to? It’s fully decentralized.

You didn't even address the article that YOU posted that actually has NOTHING to do with bitcoin. A city is basically going to digitize plastic tokens and that's a good thing for bitcoin or crypto? The city of Dublin's "local currency" will always be what the value of the dollar is. Keep posting BS garbage though.

So how much have you made?
How much do you dollar cost average into crypto and how often?
What percentage of your income goes into crypto?
Gold has been a store of wealth forever. Bitcoin is a fad that will peter out.
I was raised to believe that there is a massive amount of gold in Fort Knox that was backing the dollar. Currently Fort Knox claims 147.3 million ounces valued at 6.2 trillion.
The dollar is no longer backed by Fort Knox.
All the gold in Fort Knox is trivial compared to the paper (now digital) "money" that makes the world go round.
Gold is mined and refined at great expense of labor, capital, and energy. Bitcoin is "mined" at great expense of labor, capital, and energy.
With gold you end up with a shiny chunk of metal that can be used in trade or made into beautiful and useful items. With bitcoin, if you're not the miner making fiat, you end up with a sequence of 0s and 1s on a fancy flash drive that you HODL until that day when it makes its moonshot and you can trade it in for fiat to buy stuff with.

Funny. They sell oil for dollars. Not gold or bitcoin. Next...
Lamborghini would just make more "lambos" if the demand was there. If they couldn't keep up, they'd hire more people or build another factory. You know, being productive. Gold can produce other products. What can bitcoin PRODUCE? You don't have an answer for this. It won't replace the dollar or the Costa Rican Colon (or any currency), so it's not a viable currency. It's nothing. It's a gimmick. Countries with failing currencies won't even adopt it. They just make their own (Venezuela).
At some point just ditch the shovel and figure out how you're going to get out of the hole.

The ultimate goal of the gotcoiners/ coinlovers is for cryptos value to overtake gold (it's already more valuable than all the silver in the world) and then to supplant all the world's fiat currency. At that point the patient, disciplined, coiners will cash out and buy stuff.

Bitcoin is not the same. Real gold is hard to extract from the ground, there is physical limitations on the amount of it. And I wouldn't even invest into it, because why buy something that does nothing. Bitcoin is just artificial thing, some guy somewhere can flip a switch and create a billion more, it's like video game gold, putting real money into it is for suckers in my opinion.

Not how it works. Mining is the process of creating more BTC and there is a limit for how much will be created.
I'm not a huge BTC believer for reasons stated above. Summary: BTC is clunky to exchange, w few extra values outside of being a decentralized crypto.
XRP hasn't done as well lately, but XRP is directly connected to a very valuable exchange infrastructure allowing it to provide a much more fundamental value.
Ultimately I think the world will use XRP as one piece of a new exchange system that compete w the petro-dollar. If you pay attention , you can find dozens of central banks and worldwide power players getting behind the potential of XRP.
some guy somewhere can flip a switch and create a billion more

Hi guys,
I'd like to start a conversation on crypto-currency, particularly Bitcoin.
What do you all think about it from an investment point of view today? I have some buddies in the finance world who are quite bullish on it and claim we are just scratching the surface. Judging by the recent performance, they may be right.
For people who are investing in Bitcoin, what are you using to invest and what recommendations do you have for a new investor?
Also, how are gains taxed compared to typical stock market gains?
I read this week that over 100,000 merchants in the USA are accepting Bitcoin today.
At the same time, digital currency does scare me a bit as it seems so abstract. Curious what PatNet thinks.
Thanks guys!
