BIT COIN (S)

[SteveSC]

Yet $billions is traded daily on these made up coins, if that's all you've got to add to the discussion then there's no point discussing with you

Discussing more like forcing your point while doing your best to insult people

Call anyone ignorant and stupid just because they don't see it your way. why don't you jog on?

You join a thread try force your point and insult anyone with a different take or opinion.

 

[SteveSC]

No I just don't have any patience for ignorant people mouthing off without even doing a little bit of research into what they're mouthing off about, I get it people have different views but if those views are down to ignorance then I'll call them out on it

I mean you did a quick google search for bitcoin scams and used that to say the coin is trash ? I could find millions of articles where people have been scammed of fiat currency, yet you're happy to believe it's "better" than bitcoin, where's the logic ?

I never said it was trash.

I offered the opinion that right now its not as stable as its been made out.

you yourself are talking the future tense when you refer how great its going to be and have admitted it can improve.

Oh isn't google the quickest way to find any article about well anything. I admit it took me a few seconds to find it but you know it goes to the point your pro bitcoin and refuse to see the downside and i said there are many articles and one of them wasn't even hard to find.

But yeah go ahead insult people call the stupid, soft, ignorant or accuse them of bashing you or mouthing off

or you could stop think and read what people are suggesting might be a flaw.

You cannot bully people into agreeing with you especially when you insult their intelligence if you don't agree ignore them and move on.

The exchanges only use the median transaction fee which happens to be 200 satoshis, outside of that it's all on the network, different exchanges offer different values because that's just the way it is there's no conspiracy, much like stock exchanges differ in prices which enables arbitrage to take place (not so good with Bitcoin due to transaction times)

Litecoin is basically like Bitcoin but has quicker transaction times, the median is still around 200 litoshi's so if Litecoin was worth what Bitcoin is, the tx fee would be what it is now, BUT LTC has a more agreeable set of devs working on the coin so it's entirely possible they enhance the network/blockchain to promote a lower tx fee, they're soon to be implementing lightning network which will make it even faster
Litecoin is also similar to Bitcoin in that is has a finite supply 84million coins will ever exist

https://segwit.org/my-vision-for-segwit-and-lightning-networks-on-litecoin-and-bitcoin-cf95a7ab656b

That's the man behind Litecoin offering his vision for the future

Basically you can decide yourself from your wallet a transaction fee but depending how the network is being used a lower fee may make your transaction take longer as higher fee = higher priority. Sometimes even a high fee may take hours if the network is overloaded which is why you see a lot of bitcoin forks where groups of people want to add new tech which the main mining orgs don't agree with.

There's surprisingly a lot of politics that goes on behind the scenes within each community



You actually got anything useful to say soft lad ? I get it you don't like Bitcoin, jog on you offer nothing of value




Yet $billions is traded daily on these made up coins, if that's all you've got to add to the discussion then there's no point discussing with you

The Forbes article I read, when I was being ignorant, told me all I needed to know.

"I will admit, though, that bitcoin is energizing some investors, especially millennials"

Oh boo hoo I called you ignorant

You and your ilk naysaying on Bitcoin are like those people who claim that planes are spraying chemtrails over everyone whilst having absolutely zero knowledge about atmospheric physics or what happens to exhaust fumes at low temperatures in the atmosphere (yeah they're called contrails)

All you're doing is offering bad information for others who may actually be inclined to adopt the coin, tell me how is offering your opinion based on ignorance (yes a lack of understanding is ignorance) helpful to a discussion ?

I'm all for listening to points of views but at least back it up with facts based in reality not info pulled out of your arse

Why so arsey with people? What is it about Bitcoin that has made you break cover and give yourself up?

I'd place 10 Bitcoin on you having been banned before for a furious outburst.

WTF are you even talking about now you? Calm down you biscuit.

'My ilk naysaying' ffs what are you on about? You are the one who is ignorant then get a grip you overly defensive dope.

how does having a different opinion make someone a conspiracy theorist haha!! Jesus wept you full of it.

You are some tulip.

Because I'm naturally like this when confronted with people spouting off nonsense as information ?

This could have been a thread about chemtrails or the Large Hadron Collider tearing apart from the planet by creating a super massive blackhole as accelerates particles and I'd have responded the same way, I get it, we're in a SJW wrap everyone up in cotton wool era lest we hurt their feelings for being outspoken about for something but I'm sick of it and I can't stand this misinformation directed to Bitcoin which is nothing but modern day "old wives tales"

Yeah because you base all of your financial decisions based on a single article on Forbes ? Like Forbes has never gotten anything wrong in the past

Funny in August they were telling us Bitcoin was the new Gold

One man's spouting off nonsense is another's man just offering a differing opinion. Unfortunately you seem to be unwilling to listen to anyone else's opinion without chucking insults about and then whining about people being soft when you get pulled up for it.

I bet you utter the sentence "It's political correctness gone mad" at least a dozen times a day don't you? Calm yourself down a bit and try and be open to others opinion and maybe then you won't get so angry.

Don't confuse someone calling you out for being disrespectful and being a d*ck to hurting someones feelings.

My feelings were not hurt not at all.

Merely pointing out its easier to make a point without being an a** about it.

Bit of a difference between opinion based on knowledge what you're discussing and opinion based on misinformation though

I mean I called him ignorant ? What's so wrong ? It's like not I said "listen mate you're a (insert profanity) because your opinion is crap" I don't see the issue calling someone ignorant based on their of information and providing them information to help them be less ignorant

Yeah I'm not a people person, I have little patience and I say what I think, so what ? At least I'm honest and own it

Haha!! The whole "look at me i'm a hard man i say what i feel and do what i want" approach haha!!

No, you didn't use profanity's but you pretty much did say this only you broke it into two sentences then two posts.

Then you called @MoutsGoat goat soft and ignorant.

Either way be a d*ck all you want lets see how long you survive getting all bent out of shape because someone doesn't agree with you.

Look you were making good points but maybe not call people stupid, soft or ignorant just because you have strong feelings about something and people have an opposing view or simply put disagree with you.

Or insinuate they are a conspiracy theorist and believe anything. Still not sure where you got that from a bit mad it sounded.

Everyone gets it you love bitcoin and you will hear nothing against it which means you kind of contradict your whole "i'm open for discussion" declaration earlier. Clearly not.

The only way it can be lost is due to negligence or getting scammed

Much like FIAT currency and those morons who fall for the "Nigerian Prince has billions of $'s to give you in exchange for a few hundred £"

Is it the fault of the technology if the user is inept ? Is the fault of the tech if the user sets their password to one of the most commonly used passwords ? Or uses the same password for every single website they visit and one of those sites gets hacked ?

It's like saying guns are dangerous because people kill people, the problem isn't the gun it's the person holding it

No way have I contradicted myself but all I'll say is do your own research or remain ignorant, it's your choice

You talk about power usage ? You realise the majority of the places which are set up as large scale mines are in regions where they use renewable energy which is cheap in order to maximise profits

Keep on with your ignorance while everyone begins to adopt bitcoin and you sit on a forum moaning about how it'll never take off because it's too risky because "reasons"

I hope you didn't put too much money in this... Everyone adopting bitcoin? My poor man, you were played.

No problem but what I've touched on doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of the potential and actual amazing future that blockchain and cryptocurrency has.

People focus on the negatives too much when they don't understand and it just pisses me off because it's nothing but ignorance

https://news.bitcoin.com/donor-gives-38-btc-water-project/

Bitcoin and cryptocurrency has the potential to get rid of poverty amongst other current issues we face on this planet

I don't understand why people are scared of it

Maybe tone it down a bit mate. As I said, I've spent this week with a company that invest in blockchain startups, and have raised a lot of money themselves. They slowly began to understand that it's the evangelical zeal that you talk with that actually puts a lot of people off. Right now it is very analogous to a religion because if people ask you to explain why it is the way it is, you can't and it's one of those things you either believe or you don't.

For what it's worth, I think blockchain as a technology will have a tremendous future and there are all manner of very interesting use cases for it. Cryptocurrencies I'm less convinced on, and Bitcoin itself even less so than that, but all this froth around it ending poverty is what I see a lot of from ICOs as they're so often built on nothing but hype that XYZ startup/platform will revolutionise their sector. It's nonsense and not grounded in anything but hope and expectation. Right now there isn't really any evidence to suggest this will be the case. In startup land, the only thing any blockchain startup has really achieved is raising a lot of money. In corporate land, no blockchain initiative has progressed beyond pilot projects.

You're running before you can walk because you believe, but don't dismiss folks who don't because if this stuff is to cross over and do the things you claim then it will need to convince the sceptics. It's not often you convince folk by insulting them.
