While I am big Bitcoin fan... in every other respect This is fucking brilliant...
(My biggest fear of bitcoin is just what could stop governments from taking it over completely --NOTHING. and in fact it would be the perfect government run totalarian asset to control the people)
Bitcoin & The Battle For The Fate Of Humanity with Mark Moss
New CIA spying revelations.
Absolutely incorrect. The Bitcoin will still exist in a wallet somewhere it is then a matter of access. Assuming that the .gov would shut down the entire grid to stop access to crypto is highly unlikely.Governments control electricity among many other things.
Without electricity your bitcoin does not exist.
Wow, that is simple. Fiat currency is centralized in banks and crypto is not. Simple as that.Lemme get this straight.
History is giving us yet another butt fucking education on the virtues of fiat currency.
Tell me again how bitcoin isn't fiat currency.
Explain it to me as if I were a 5 year old, cause evidently I'm not very smart.

It's actually worse in that it isn't backed by the government issuing it or using it.Wow, that is simple. Fiat currency is centralized in banks and crypto is not. Simple as that.
There are few fiat currencies backed by anything other than faith. The US dollars isIt's actually worse in that it isn't backed by the government issuing it or using it.
The main difference between real money and fiat is that real money is backed a tangible asset, crypto certainly is not.

You are so wrong and you can buy stuff with it just like USD or any other fiat. This discussion has been had on this board many times and I am not going to wrestleWhat can you do with it, and don't say buy stuff.
It is a currency, with no actual substance, that is valued and backed by virtually nothing.
Hell you can't even start a fire with it.
So tell me again how it isn't a fiat currency.
Explain it like I'm a 2 year old.
That's correct, but you tried to claim crypto isn't fiat, it is in that there is no tangible asset behind it.There are few fiat currencies backed by anything other than faith. The US dollars is
Propped up by the idea that the GDP will continue to grow. The idea that our currency is backed up by anything tangible is a fallacy.

With your bias. Agree or don’t, I don’t give a shit.
Okay, I am not going to continue this discussion because you are taking an extreme position that is ludicrous. In your scenario no currency will be an option because no one will have access to any money, crypto or fiat. No network means no ATMs, no wire transfers or any other exchanges. In that case you will not be able to withdraw money from a bank.If they kank your access to networks to trade then you will have to purchase face to face with that cold wallet.
And if someone steals your storage device you're going to be SOL same as if you has been trading in precious stones or metals.
Crypto is only convenient when you have access to the digital world. That can easily be cut off.
And when the lights go out, a can of beans is worth much more.
Aren't we testy.You are so wrong and you can buy stuff with it just like USD or any other fiat. This discussion has been had on this board many times and I am not going to wrestle
With your bias. Agree or don’t, I don’t give a shit.
God damn you just don’t get. Try this and see if it helpsThat's correct, but you tried to claim crypto isn't fiat, it is in that there is no tangible asset behind it.
I can even argue the point on government backing. Why do you think all these little companies have been allowed to basically reveal the magic trick behind our money supply and how it is created? It is nothing more than a giant casting call to find out what works best for when they decide to step in and make one "official".
Those eggs in your basket?God damn you just don’t get. Try this and see if it helps
What is fiat currency?
Fiat currency is the global currency standard and is backed by individual governments. Fiat currencies are different from cryptocurrency, commodity money and representative money.mint.intuit.com
This is not a test run for a cashless society, we have been cashless for 10 years or longer.Aren't we testy.
Lemme tell you what it is.
Its the test bed for the cashless system.
Oh I'm sure its a good investment, everyone in on it will be in on the ground floor.
Itll go real nice with a mark in one's right hand or forehead.
No need to get pissy.
I'm probably on your side
It has nothing to do with shooting the messenger, it is about people arguing about things they know nothing about and refusing to learn. Another example is the inherent misunderstanding that exists on the board about HIPPA or HIPAA, whichever it is.Those eggs in your basket?
They aren't your eggs.
Buy it, mine it, however the hell you get it, knock yourself out. Don't shoot the messenger.
It dont be like you think it be.
Calling it fiat, seems to piss you off. So...let's just say its a virtual currency, that you can't actually feel, touch, or rip. Its value is set by public trust in its worth.
Its also a test bed.
that is hilarious. go and fuck with an outlaw biker gang and find out what it is.When LARPing is confused with actual life and collides with a genuine purveyor of reality this is what you get. The bully gets his teeth knocked in. And then goes back to picking on the ones that will not stand up against the threats - the cops.
She is just another Moron with a Bar Card, dime a dozen these days.
Can’t use it at HEB, but these places accept it.How do you spend crypto? Can I go to HEB and fill my cart and pay with crypto? Do I spend my real money to purchase crypto? Who gets that money?
I don’t know about HEB but there are stores that accept crypto as payment. Crypto is becoming more widely accepted as a means of payment but it still has a ways to compared to USD. Crypto is not for everyone and has some challenges that cash doesn’t. It boils down to the advantages of crypto vs fiat for the individual.How do you spend crypto? Can I go to HEB and fill my cart and pay with crypto?
Why not ask them?that is hilarious. go and fuck with an outlaw biker gang and find out what it is.
and watching these little fucks squeal and cry…and stomp around? that just makes me want to congratulate the folks who squared those turds away. maybe they should fuck with the outlaws and hells angels next. i’d really enjoy it if biker gangs took it upon themselves to hunt these fucks down.
Junk silver for the win, tangible, will buy food in Barter Town.Those eggs in your basket?
They aren't your eggs.

I will agree on the can of beans comment but that would apply to all currency in
Your scenario.
I’m sorry about that. I answered part of the buying question in the earlier post via an add. You can buy cryptos through brokerage sites and the cash goes to owner of the crypto being purchased. The broker owns the crypto and exchanges it for the cash or gold/silver.You missed my second question. How do I “buy” crypto? Do I use real money to buy digital money? Who gets the real cash and doles out the digital? What would this entity do with my real money?
The idea that our currency is backed up by anything tangible is a fallacy.
That is why governments are proposing their own crypto, because all addresses cannot be databased. The cold wallet exacerbates the problem. If governments were not scared of cryptos they would not be proposing issuing their own.I'm not trying to be hostile to your positions. Hardware addresses are being databased against real person identities today. In a functional world where tyranny has taken the helm they will cut most off if there is a desire to do so. We have seen just in the last weeks that this is where Canada is moving. Which is why the only other scenario I see crypto working is mad max's thunderdome.
Long term tracking of hardware addresses is not sustainable which is why they will eventually require everyone to accept their digital system along with digital ID to trade. Look at how all the .corps are in lockstep today. All they have to do is announcne that they will only make payroll deposits into the new system and boom most value in the functioning economy is captured. Very similar to how they moved just about everyone over to direct deposit without so much as a wimpier.
I don’t know if it’s used to buy gold or not but this is not a Ponzi in any way, shape or form. Again, crypto is not for everyone and folks should accept it for what it is.So they use my real money to buy gold and I get digital money that even they don’t want. Makes sense. Thanks. I wish I would have come up with that ponze scheme.
I think it's time for the Canadians to light those torches and sharpen those pitch-forks.
