Matt Damon has to science the shit out of Crypto.com...

“an incorruptible bank in cyber space”

51% attack would like to have a word... Also, why would I want the public to look into my wallet? Where is my privacy? You see, public ledger is a double edge sword.

I personally think blockchain could be used for voting and such (each voter gets a coin and where they send it counts as vote, so the public AND the voter can check if the vote was recorded correctly, no messing with votes).

Everything you said makes some sense. Except for the last sentence.
It is what makes me skeptical. When I ask why I should buy, I get the answer that I'm missing a great opportunity.

The ads in the media are all about fortune favors the brave, don't be left behind, get rich quick.
If Crypto isn't going away then it will be here for a while and present opportunities in the future. I realize that I should have bought some years ago but at the same time I'm glad I didn't jump on the bandwagon last November.

yea I hear ya there. We should stop saying that, it’s off putting.

Pekelo you don’t even know what that means. In fact I think you found out about a 51% attack was like 2 days ago. You don’t even know what would have to happen for a 51% attack to occur (hint, it’s not buying 1BB worth of computers like somebody said the other day).

 

[Pekelo]

Pekelo you don’t even know what that means.

Stop being an idiot, you are mistaking me for someone else. Not to mention you are attacking the messenger instead of dealing with the argument, not a surprise from cultists. Let me know if you found a counter argument.

your address is public. Who owns that address is not public.

but you bring up a good point! Bitcoin is not an anonymous network! Hence don’t believe anybody that says it’s for drug dealers. It’s terrible for drug dealers, you will get caught if you use bitcoin

oh hold on you say that lol my bad

I am the only one here making actual arguments! How about it’s your turn for once. Why don’t you tell me how practically a 51% attack could happen at the present time?

let me know if you figured it out. If not, I assume your just a close minded hater.

You're missing the whole point of crypto, the fact that you aren't relying on any intermediary to settle anything. The FED just creates money out of thin air. With bitcoin, miners have to mine it, and every last satoshi is accounted for.

Its not strangers that have your back, but rather the robustness of the network that 100% relies on determined rules and outcomes. It cannot be rigged, unlike everything to do with the government.

Frederick Foreskin is an insufferable troll and gov't apologist. Pay no mind.

Bitcoin is just another commodity with its value based on everybody using it. Once it's banned and cannot be exchanged to legal tender, it would have no value.

Maybe, but you're calling banned in US, just banned. My point is banned in US may make less difference than you think.

Like all commodities?

I doubt it. Years ago the US banned owning gold. Look how that worked out.

Banning gold??!! Seriously??? In this universe? You sure it's not in one of the other parallel universes in your dream? Or in your beforelife?

look at what the US has repeatedly said man … they have no interest in banning bitcoin. Everyday that goes by, more people (including politicians) will own it and a ban becomes even less likely

you are literally just hoping it’s banned to make ya feel better. It’s pathetic.

The same can be said about you. LOL I am just staying the facts yo.

Maybe. We shall see.
