it won't be allowed.
FJB says@richwicks in essence what you said would be equivalent to saying TCP/IP has no real value. It just moves packets around, you can't make money off of it, it's a scam - back in the day.
Don't strawman me. You know you are engaging in a logical fallacy, but you do it anyhow.
richwicks saysI don't know about all cryptos, but with Bitcoin in particular, it's unworkable as a way to pay for goods and services.
This shows me you don't know anything about ALL cryptos including bitcorn.
people who spout ignorant nonsense about bitcorn don't know shit about shit.
OH, you're talking about poop! If you chew the corn more thoroughly the bits won't be recognizable.
Onvacation saysAre you saying crypto IS good for paying for goods and services?
Indeed ol' chap!
READ!
THE!
FUCKING!
PAPER!
Or go watch a youtube video sheesh.
Bitcoin is not new and it is one of the most widely held financial assets in the world. Between Coinbase and E-Toro (just 2 firms) they have over 90 million clients. There are a plethora of other firms trading crypto currencies all over the world probably with hundreds of millions of other clients. There's over 19k different crypto currencies.
Bullshit. Congress criters are buying in. The ones running for office (both left and right) are behind it. Pension funds, hedge funds and banks are buying in. The loudmouth anti-bitcoin names of the past like Ray Dalio and buying in AND were doing so while spreading FUD.
There are countless companies being spun up to address this new market. Silicon Valley can't hold onto their engineers for these new job roles. One country made it a currency last year (El Salvador) and I'm going to bet at least 2 more do it this year.
Some countries are allowing spot market ETFs already (we allowed a futures ETF last year and spot will happen b/c we aren't N. Korea).
So, you sell some crypto for fiat and then you can make a purchase. How is that better than just using fiat?
Why is crypto valued in fiat?
It's just another classic Ponzi scheme promising to be a new monetary system that has never been shown the ability to actually work.
So sick of people pumping this.

I'm sick of ignorant people making BS statements about shit they don't understand.

You're just pumping this thing.
It's a 10% fee currently to move from one wallet to another, if you want to do it under and hour.
it's not ever going to be a fucking currency.
Transaction and maintenance costs are tremendous and it can go to 50% in a week, as we just saw - some currency.
In layman's terms, how do you think the open source blockchain works?
Just as a mathematician wouldn't play the lotto, except for fun, a software engineer wouldn't dabble in crypto, except maybe to unscrupulously dupe some HODLer.
It's a Ponzi scheme that requires new money for old money to cash out. Not only that, like any Ponzi scheme it requires new money just to sustain it. Somebody has to pay for the miner's electricity, hardware, rent, utilities, food, hookers and blow.
This is not bitcoin. If you don't understand why it's simply because you don't understand bitcoin. That is understandable. It's commonly stated that it takes ~100hrs of study to truly understand it. Not to mention fintech, defi, the way too many other alt-coins, most of which ARE in fact scams as far as I'm concerned.
I also don't think the legacy financial system has a bright future.
The advice I have for them is to get a clue or be ready to eat the biggest shit sandwich they have ever seen ;)
The problem with the haters here they grabbed the easy way out and decided w/o any 'real working knowledge of crypto" because that takes effort, decided they
don't like crypto no matter what. So now all that toxic pride is in print and none have the balls or humility to look into the facts and recant their obvious ignorance.

How long did it take, and what was the cost, and what year?
Why coinbase charges so much for transactions 2-3%
Are these coat same at other trading places
Guys, dont engage with Richwicks and onvacation.
Where did I get it wrong?
Bitcoin has no assets. All incoming money is consumed by the miners. The only way to get money out is finding a bigger fool.
Can any of you crypto pushers point out the errors in my statement above?
Not expecting any cogent answers

that is a very specific question and it would be good for @FJB to answer it. We would see how long does a REAL transaction takes place
I am neither for or against Bitcoin. My take is that it is probably better to trust a number in a Russian hacker's computer aka Bitcoin than a number in Federal reserve computer aka USD
