Two questions for you:

(1) What is going to be the total supply of ETH?
(2) Who gets to decide what transactions are added to each block of ETH?

Once you understand the answers to these two questions, you'll understand why BTC wins.

BTC is kinda useless for anything other than illegal transactions though buddy. It isn’t even really a hedge against inflation (yet) because its value has not been stable.

Good inflation numbers will look good for BTC no question there. It's all a plot to get people to dive into crypto as the USD is becoming usless, thus cucking the USD and the USA to begin the post- nation-state megacorp only era. If our government wasn't so busy doing criminal things for petty rewards they would be integrating crypto into their monetary policy in a way that won't leave them obsolete.

The bitcoin will not protect against full world dark ages collapse.

Only hard assets and ability to produce food and drink and shelter for yourself will get you through the dark ages.

And in reality only a community of people that are all living in that sustainable way will be really successful as any single household will get rolled eventually even if you have landmines and every one of your small family is a great shot. Besides living in a fortified homestead for the rest of your miserable life isn't exactly living, so the best would be to create a community that can weather the storm. I would make such a community if I was a trllionaire just to have a place to go to when shtf

Plus the on-ocean archology style community outer heaven from metal gear etc.

But assuming the computerized world persists for some time bitcoin might stay good.

Bitcoin is great, but all things in this temporal world will be burn and be gone.

[Verse 1]
The towers that shoulder your pride
The words you've written in stone
Sand will cover them, sand will cover you

The streets that suffer your name
Your very flesh and your bones
Sand will cover them, sand will cover you

[Chorus]
So put your faith in more than steel
Don't store your treasures up with moth and rust, where thieves break in and steal
Pull the fangs from out your heel
We live in but a shadow of the real

[Verse 2]
Step out from time
See the dust of nations
Step out from time
Hear the stars' ovation

Saturn will not sleep until the sand has made us clean
Still we stack our stones and bury what we can
But it all will be undone, and nothing built under the sun
Will ever stand before the endless march of sand

[Chorus]
So put your faith in more than steel
Don't store your treasures up, with moth and rust where thieves break in and steal
Pull the fangs from out your heel
We live in but a shadow of the real

so I guess the deal with shit crypto (not bitcoin) is just hoping one you have put money in will go from .25 cents to 3 dollars at some point and hopefully it covers all the other crypto pyramid schemes you bought into that went no where?

it's really hard to lose money when bitcoin is doing well. you can hold literally anything when bitcoin does its thing and make very real, not-fake profits

problem is, the more of these scams and rugpulls that exist promising 100x gains in weeks, the worse bitcoin does. bitcoin is slow. you'll at best get a 3x by january and then at some untold moment it will catastrophically crash, according to 'the cycle.' so if you choose the wrong time, you lose. who wants that risk?

so all the money flows into shitcoins which is basically just a casino, because "you never know what's the next doge" or "shib" and all that potential mcap that could be given as tithe to the king for us all to succeed, gets scammed away, and the king dies, dragging down the whole house with it

that said. bitcoin might do well in the next 2 months, and every shitcoin sings roses and fairies. or it might not, and there's blood in the street. do with that info what you will

yeah pretty much, or more like, you put a smol amount of money into like, a lot of them, and then when you hear about any of them you kinda watch it more and hopefully in like 1-4 years you hear about one going from .000cents to 3 dollars and then 20 and then 150 and then 1000 and then this is ETH i am describing. its in the 4k range imagine if you had 100$ of that when it was .0000cents.

I always get turned off when I hear people talk about bitcoins continued trajectory, because thats what they used to say about the stock market before the crash

but its hard to argue with almost 15 years of that being true.

but then again does that mean that the stockmarket wont crash either?

I think its like, one in the same at this point. So it's safe because the other bet is an underground compound.

Then when it comes to bitcoin and other potential realcoins I can see why people like Castle are so interested in their success, because at some levels it makes a lot of sense.

I guess the thing to do is launch a shitcoin and hope you can get some money out of it.

Too bad government regulators can't actually regulate anything since they don't know, so they will get the founder of etherium to write a law for them (this is what actually happens)

For last 15 years ish the entire stock market has had unrealistic gains non stop while people have been pretty poor and housing costs are on the rise and lots of problems.

Hard pass, and filed next to Shiba, Doge, and the like.

Once again. Money or Tech. Bitcoin is money. Ethereum and other altcoins are trying to be tech.

Money leads to dominance. Tech leads to competition.

If you are an investor/holder, you want dominance.

In a similar line of thinking, proof-of-stake projects can be displaced just as quickly as they arise. A legitimate (read: not doge, not shiba) fair launch proo-of-work coin, like Bitcoin, Ravencoin, etc. will always have a strong foundation.

Note: Ravencoin is a tech play too, also risk due to competition.

Bitcoin is money.

No it's not. Bitcoin has no inherent value. Its utility lies in anonymity... and if anonymity is not important to you, it has no advantage versus other financial channels - with a ton of downsides. It is a close-ended tech that will come to an end - because it has to. The interesting thing to watch will be how big the bubble gets before it pops.

Remember - to make $1.00 in bitcoin means someone else spent $1.01.

I'm not bashing the tech, and I'm not wishing disaster on anyone holding it. But there are a lot of people who don't understand what it is. When I hear things like "bitcoin is money" it makes me wonder what percent of people are buying the tech... versus what percent are buying the hype.

As crypto tech matures, it continues to get sliced into finer and finer slices - with nuanced pros and cons with each execution. I'm not talking about the joke crypto networks - but the real honest to goodness blockchain systems. The promise of the tech underlying Bitcoin will be around a lot longer than Bitcoin... and the value won't be in securing financial transactions (since there are already parallel systems that do the same thing without anonymity). No one really knows all of the possible applications of utility - and anyone who claims to is lying. But unless you understand how you can use Ethereum to secure the distribution channel of a case of asparagus, you are missing the big picture.

Fate is not written: El Salvador plans ‘bitcoin city’ powered by volcano (https://www.ft.com/content/67515f23-ccdc-4dbc-a184-70848e183ac3)

El Salvador’s president has said the Central American country plans to build a volcano-powered “bitcoin city” financed partly by an issue of $1bn in sovereign bonds backed by the cryptocurrency.
President Nayib Bukele said the city would have no property, income or capital gains taxes. Its infrastructure and other costs will be funded by a sales tax and money raised by the bond issues.

The extremely popular Bukele — a former mayor of the capital San Salvador — has enjoyed approval ratings of more than 80%. But the authoritarian leader has moved to consolidate power by firing all judges more than 60 years old, and replacing five judges in the Supreme Court’s constitutional chamber.

What makes me optimistic about bitcoin is not its past performance, which I don't think is likely to repeat. It's the fact that it can be used as a viable alternative to fiat inflationary money-printed currency, including with electronic transactions. It could be regulated into illegality, but that would be a big step considering the amount of institutional capital now invested in it. And even in that case, it can still be used clandestinely with a few additional steps. Would not go all-in on it though, it's a lot safer to diversify.

* MicroStrategy is an enterprise software company that holds billions of dollars of Bitcoin on its balance sheet. Publicly traded companies with significant exposure to Bitcoin have been experiencing notable price declines. The stock prices on Monday of both Coinbase Global, Inc. (COIN) and MicroStrategy Incorporated (MSTR) declined by more than 15% at their session lows

* As as Bitcoin matures and becomes more widely adopted, the price of Bitcoin is increasingly correlated with the prices of traditional assets like stocks. This growing correlation means that any event that triggers price declines in the traditional markets is likely to trigger similar or greater price declines for Bitcoin.

* Unidentified sources within the Biden administration said last week that the government is developing a strategy to address the economic, regulatory, and national security challenges posed by Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. The administration is reportedly also examining the opportunities created by the rise of digital assets, with the Biden administration's strategy potentially being made public as soon as February.

* Gradual belt-tightening by the U.S. Federal Reserve may also be contributing to Bitcoin's price drop.

What does this mean? It mean Bitcoin has the potential to go even lower than it is now.

Horrifying enough, the Federal Reserve released a research report that explores the creation of a digital version of the U.S. dollar. Mention of this threat is sinking crypto currency investment as buyers pull their funds making ready to jump ship to a currency which could promise stability in the volatile market of digital currency futures.

Heh I guess it is true…. Don’t be stuck holding the last brick (digital block-chain) standing in essentially what is still ultimately a pyramid scheme.

A pyramid scheme is a business model that recruits members via a promise of payments or services for enrolling others into the scheme, rather than supplying investments or sale of products.

Bitcoin is a pyramid insomuch as anything that can increase in value through network effects is a pyramid. IOW, it's not.

You can think of BTC as digital gold and all other coins as unregulated stocks in fintech startups.

There are obvious "headless pyramids" like Doge, Shiba, etc. There are tech projects with a token looking to solve real problems, ETH, HNT, etc. Then you have BTC. It's just digital gold. It's the best money ever made. Period.

It's actually trackable more than any other currency.. in order to make a transaction now the blockchain has to verify that. So you can look up every single transaction on the bitcoin chain.

Bitcoin didn't always work like this, but it does now. I dont know the details.. but basically, you cannot purchase or exchange bitcoin without the man knowing exactly which wallet when where and how much was transferred.

Because of my infatuation with the end of times, my crypto friends like to say that they think crypto is the mark of the beast, partly because it was initially invented by the NSA and that it's designed to be a 1 world currency where there would be no freedom. Under the disguise of freedom.

For the record:

Most people are dumb and don't understand (insert buzzword here)

Like most plebs, you don't understand blockchain. It's just a data structure. It's just one of a few items that make Bitcoin powerful.

Anyone who wants total control of something won't use blockchain as a data structure. It's highly inefficient. Just use a database. Oh wait, we already do that. Websites, games, every digital provider, Visa, etc... they all use databases.

You're just describing government fiat and adding in the big bad scary word you don't understand: "blockchain."

Any CBDC that is created, will not use the blockchain data structure in any meaningful way. Period.

If they do and take on all the negatives of blockchain with none of the positives (from the view of a single centrally controlling entity,) they will just be a less efficient form of doing the exact same thing but using a database.

But you cannot withdraw bitcoin, and then exchange it, and have that bitcoin go anywhere ever, without knowing which wallet it went to.

you'd have to not allow cash though, or anything non digital as an exchange of goods.

But Biden already pitched that when he said he was gonna sanction Putin and people who do business with him directly.

Like putin could exchange bitcoin for assets, but if he ever used that bitcoin anywhere they would know where he got them, and so they could punish those people that exchanged goods with him.

I guess he'd have to have an intermediary somehow to exchange goods but all the exchanges would be kept track of and if any investigative agency wanted to they'd likely be able to put everyone involved into the new world order gulags.

If gold and cash had no value then with bitcoin you could have the same benefits of both of them, with the added benefit of knowing where, who and, when every penny was exchanged by every person, around the world, without any infrastructure to do it.

Heard that one too.

But you cannot withdraw bitcoin, and then exchange it, and have that bitcoin go anywhere ever, without knowing which wallet it went to.

Not entirely true:

Bitcoin is currently pseudo-anonymous, but privacy features have and are being added like 'taproot' (see: https://www.investopedia.com/bitcoin-taproot-upgrade-5210039)

More will be added in the future

Doesn't matter anyway:

I can exchange BTC for FIRO, which is entirely anonymous. I can send and receive FIRO and there is no traceable link between the inputs and outputs of a transaction.

There are DEX (Decentralized Exchanges) which don't record personal information that allow you to trade crypto-to-crypto: pancakeswap, sushiswap, etc.

There are CEX (Centralized Exhanges) in various jurisdictions that also don't record personal information: kucoin, tradeogre (P99 preferred exchange?!)

Tthere are simple swap services that also don't record personal information: SimpleSwap.io, Changelly, etc.

There are person-to-person (OTC) ways to buy/sell Bitcoin with cash like LocalBitcoins.

Oh, and there are "coin mixing" services that allow you to move crypto in obfuscated ways like: Tornado.cash

We're not talking about a world where you live right now we're talking about a world where the bitcoin economy is regulated by a central world government.

Meta is poised to suffer the largest one-day wipeout in corporate history. Its valuation slumped by nearly $220 billion when Wall Street opened Thursday. (https://www.businessinsider.com/meta-q4-earnings-largest-ever-one-day-wipeout-190-billion-2022-2?utm_source=reddit.com)

I wonder what this means for facebook and zuck and the future.

Either you're not getting it, or you are "zombie apocalypse scenario" ing this one.

Yes, a one world government and centrally controlled financial system is coming some day.

When the entire world is controlled by a single entity, your guns, gold, bitcoin, whatever won't help. You'll finally be faced with how fleeting this life is and will need to consider the eternal state of your soul. Better to do that sooner instead of waiting for this event.

Until that happens, bitcoin and crypto is an excellent check on governments and will help preserve some personal freedoms.

yeah exactly, but the thing is we're trending towards the zombie apocalypse thingy.

But that said, trending is not "there" so we still have some time to play with these markets.

You can bet when we do get there though, the "messiah" will be like, "bitcoin is great and it will solve our problems!"

1st -The crypto market is heavily manipulated, you’re not going to get extremely wealthy holding BTC for any length of time. You missed it so just deal with it.
2nd - there is no on/off ramp way to spend it without revealing your wallet address so doesn’t matter how many times you wash it
3nd it’s not a “check on gov” or will preserve your freedumbs. Who the fuck do you think is running those different market sessions. Especially the Hong Kong session?

FYI if you don’t know why it kicks off at certain times or what sessions I’m referring too your the slaughter animal kids

1) Historically, you got wealthy holding BTC over any 4 year period. BTC market cap is a measly 800B. It can easily go to 30T by 2030. See attached photo. So, if you simply hold Bitcoin, you're likely going to multiply your wealth if you just HODL ;)
2) Google Monero or Firo.
3) It is a check on gov. Canadian Trucker financial sanctions anyone? Google "nunchuk.io tells Canadian government no"

Try google and do research before you come in here with your uninformed arguments. Thanks.

Some of my ammo has moret han quadrupled in value since the first obama term when I sold a bunch of popular ammo and bought a bunch of stuff that could still be had cheaply.

And all ammo has about doubled since Trump's race war years and has only barely come back down. It's not the best way to bury your money but it can't hurt.

There are no sure fire investments otherwise everyone would do it. When inflation is a real threat, hard assets of some kind are your best bet, so really a down payment on a house might be worthwhile but if the market tanks you will be feeling dumb so its a gamble.

Only reason to have an under house tunnel system is to booby trap it like Rambo :p

Christians don’t like Joel Olsteen because he doesn’t preach Christianity, but neither do most Christians so I guess he just has a bigger target on him because he rakes in the big bucks. Because he is so famous he provides a big face point at what is wrong with Christianity, which in fact is simply all the same things wrong with any other collection of humans.

So I guess he misrepresents the ideal but on such a large stage that a lot of people
feel the need to denounce him.

As far as his messages help people, that’s great. The things that open our eyes don’t have to be perfect things themselves. God uses whatever he can to wake us up.

Jibartik

03-24-2022, 11:05 AM

Or to have an underground tunnel system???

I don’t know anything about Joel Osteen not teaching Christianity but he sure as hell teaches people how to live with their neighbors, how to keep sane and strong in a harsh world.

I mean it’s really hopeful stuff if you listen to him it’s hopeful he does not say anything that I disagree with not one thing that he says I think any of you would disagree with.

I can’t get mad at him for being a capitalist this is America and I sure as hell don’t have anything against capitalism.

The difference between him or say, Jobs or Elon or Mark Zuckerberg, Is that his job literally every day is to get out in front of people and to just reinforce that they are not alone that they have family but if they are good to each other if they’re good to their neighbors they’ll be good people and that goodness is good I mean really he has a strong positive message!

He gets a lot of hate because he’s a capitalist but meanwhile Democrats are the most capitalists loving psychopaths on the planet who will watch 10,000 hours of a TikTokerwho spreads 10 million hours of the most negative most toxic shit possible.

Joel Osteen is a good dude. When my wife was going through some major depression issues, he was really helpful in getting her to see the positive side of life.

I know a lot of Christians accuse him of preaching the “prosperity gospel” but frankly, I don’t think there is anything wrong with that. I have met too many Christians, especially when I lived in the south, who were content with being fat and poor because the opposite of those was vanity.

Joel often talks about how you can’t help anyone else if you are fat, sick or broke. I agree with that statement.

Joel does have a lot of money, but I think he does more to help people than most other millionaires. He does not come off as a pretentious fellow, though I do think his wife does.

I just put him on a few times to see what all the hype/hate was about (or test how much of a boomer I've become) and after watching as much of it as I could possibly stand I was pretty much shocked at how literally everything he said was the most moral and thoughtful and empathetic way you could approach pretty much every situation in a persons life who regularly shops at dollar tree.

Rich or greedy, he does help people who need it in a positive and effective way IMO.

Too often have I seen the people who need help forgotten about after the hype train is ended with my empathetic progressive allies.

robayon

03-24-2022, 01:17 PM

My problem with Osteen, is basically two things: prosperity theology is downright evil and blasphemous. And my wife has a crush on him, so unless he dies soon in a helicopter crash I may have to fight him.

I thought this pair of episodes on the history of the deliberate effort to entangle Christianity with pro-capitalist/anti-socialist ideology were good.

I'm happy to hear that you already know those problems and I'm glad I didn't jump right into a stupid rant about the guy when you mentioned your wife watching him.

I seldom have the time to just grab random selections of audio stuff people recommend but I am kinda curious your thoughts. Probably its all correct in that audio.

The interesting thing I've been learning is how the way Christianity today has Osteens and a bunch of proclaimed Christians who don't care about what Jesus has to say is the same way it was in the Victorian era and presumably, since always.

The victorian era stuff is interesting because you can find good writings in english with descriptions of society and its all the same as today, almost without exception.

I do not disagree with either of you. This started far earlier than any American history, and the Catholic church sure was greedy, sometimes evil, sometimes decent... as institutions go. The influence on Western culture at large is undeniable.

But there was a specific effort in American history that continues to this day to keep your average evangelical under the impression that anything which resembles a socialist belief is inherently evil, which is preposterous, the Bible is full of messages about sharing resources and mutual support and all that kind of stuff, obviously.

Those episodes are more of an origin story of the American megachurch. It's usually an interesting podcast in general, sometimes his guests can get annoying or hard to listen to.

Side note: we've been watching a six part documentary on the history of pornography and it's fascinating how often there's porn built into religious texts and churches themselves, among a bunch of other things

Osteen is a false prophet. Jesus promised there would be plenty of those.

For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.

Osteen isnt a prophet though, just a motivator who uses gods word and Jesus's teaching to help spread motivation and hope, and to also get himself into heaven probably, but also because he's probably a hopelessly romantic wishful thinker with a lot of energy and drive and also an appreciation for comfortable things I'm not that different. I like jetski's and existential morality and darkelves.I mostly agree, and despite my problems with prosperity theology most of his actual sermons are fairly positive stuff, from what I've seen. I feel like if the money all stopped, and he had to give us his parsonage, his true colors would show. My wife dislikes Victoria, but she has a crush so that tracks. Hehe!!

I think of guys like him as Deepak Chopra. Incidentally, my wife has a lot of Deepak's books as well. That dude sure loves the word quantum.
