I like the stuff that’s about people in the shit. Two Cigarettes in The Ashtray, and all that. I’m a big Horton Heat fan, so it makes sense that their stylistic forebears would appeal to me too.

Well, yeah. If I started the Dickweed Party and decided I'd be the candidate, I wouldn't have to let someone else take the nomination if I didn't want to.

sturmblast , in It’s all a scam, don’t even try to tell me it’s useful

people that think that cryptosis scam don’t know anything about crypto

Melody ,

Crypto is a scam. It’s yet another example of a pyramid scheme usually that seldom pays off.

I’ll start taking crypto seriously when you stupid shills stop trying to get rich off of that shit and actually fucking achieve something useful with Crypto that isn’t enriching yourselves or others in the hopes that you too will be enriched.

"Scams exist" is hardly a compelling reason for us to use crypto when none of you evangelists can seem to present a single problem it solves.

sturmblast ,

there’s a lot of uses for crypto actually this again is just bullshit

Name one thing crypto does better than just obscuring my purchases.

sturmblast ,

moving arbitrary amounts of money quickly without banks between two parties with a low cost

BolexForSoup ,
@BolexForSoup@kbin.social avatar

I can send up $10,000 today in seconds. Anyone doing more than that on a daily basis is running a business and crypto wouldn’t insulate them from anything.

You’re still going to have to do a round trip of exchanges to convert it into actual currency you can use. You will ultimately need a bank anyway. You’ve just added a step.

sturmblast ,

well considering Banks need to move millions and it cost them a fuckload to do so it makes a lot of sense for them and they’re already starting to do it

BolexForSoup ,
@BolexForSoup@kbin.social avatar

I’m not a bank. Crypto is supposed to liberate me from them. Not enable them.

sturmblast ,

perhaps you should catch up on the news

I am acutely aware of the floodgates opening for banks and investment firms to make piles of cash off of retail investors using the system that was prophesied to undermine them.

I know that here are 2 sides and this is totally emotional.

But could you actually look up the definition of pyramid scheme and try to explain why it matches that definition? I think, it doesn’t.

sturmblast ,

that’s okay people that are much more informed than you are making plenty of decisions around crypto as it’s slowly takes over the financial world, you don’t have to jump on the boat but we’re still going sailing

You’re giving real money to unregulated corporations run by tech-bros in exchange for a string of numbers that you don’t understand and the promise that you’ll get money back one day.

Yeah, that’s a scam.

sturmblast ,

well that’s the thing regulation is already coming, xrp for example is the first regulated crypto out there. Bitcoin and ether have trillions of dollars of investments from some of the biggest investment firms in the world and Banks all over the world are adopting it as a store of value so you go ahead and tell me that it’s still a scam any more so than any other currency and I’ll go ahead and keep investing in crypto.

TrismegistusMx ,
@TrismegistusMx@lemmy.world avatar

It’s as legitimate as any country’s currency, as long as that country is being run out of some random basement closet in Silicon Valley.

sturmblast ,

everything that you said so far just tells me that you don’t understand it. Now I’m not saying that a lot of the crypto out there and actually the vast majority of crypto out there is garbage, that’s entirely true, however Bitcoin, Ether, Solana, XRP, Cardano… and several of the most popular and legitimate companies and technologies out there are exactly that, legitimate.

giant corporations Banks and financial institutions don’t put billions of dollars into investments of crypto without validating the asset

TrismegistusMx ,
@TrismegistusMx@lemmy.world avatar

And everything you said so far just tells me that you’re invested in your sunk cost fallacy.

sturmblast ,

in the past 4 years I’ve made $7,000 casually trading crypto and everything is just fine so whatever man

TrismegistusMx ,
@TrismegistusMx@lemmy.world avatar

That’s what the numbers on the account says anyway.

sturmblast ,

no that’s cash in my bank account at this point smart guy

TrismegistusMx ,
@TrismegistusMx@lemmy.world avatar

So even you recognize that it’s not real money until it’s cash.

sturmblast ,

arguing like this with someone like you is pretty pointless

TrismegistusMx ,
@TrismegistusMx@lemmy.world avatar

You think this is an argument?

BolexForSoup ,
@BolexForSoup@kbin.social avatar

Don’t make me pull up all the nonsense around Solana for you man. If you are still invested in Cardano and Solana then even buy crypto bro standards you are being foolish.

sturmblast ,

there’s nothing you’re going to show me that I haven’t already seen

BolexForSoup ,
@BolexForSoup@kbin.social avatar

And yet you still hold SOL?

Also… In September 2021, El Salvador adopted Bitcoin as its second legally-recognized national currency alongside the U.S. dollar.

Maybe you’ll be able to retire in El Salvador.

it’s called institutional adoption

I’m sorry who is investing trillions of dollars?

BolexForSoup ,
@BolexForSoup@kbin.social avatar

Dude stop investing in crypto. It’s not an investment. You’re gambling.

sturmblast ,

I’ll keep making money in crypto thanks

Why does every criticism of crypto always hinge on attacking the character of the industry is some ad hominem way. Oh the tech is no good because it’s “tech bros” running these companies.

TrismegistusMx ,
@TrismegistusMx@lemmy.world avatar

Because unregulated, greedy, manipulative, underhanded scammers doesn’t have the same ring to it.
