I just watched this but since I'm a retard I still don't understand how this bitcoin thing works or how it's gonna make the world better (as they claim in the documentary). Can anyone explain?

I checked out /biz/ and there seem to be a lot of these cryptocurrencies now which people invest on with the purpose of getting more dollars later on, how is that making the world any better?
>>
>>86778122
Bitcoin is independent and untraceable, meaning it actually belongs to you without relying on jewish bankers.
>>
>>86778208
This but ironically. If you honestly think laissez-faire is a good thing, you're retarded.
>>
>>86778208
I wish this were true, but it's far from it. Yes, you "own" bitcoin, but bitcoin is an item, and an item can always lose value. Think of BTC as gold. Owning gold does not make you rich exactly, but selling it for money can. It all depends of the current value of gold. Gold of course, is always of high-value, even with its ups and downs. BTC too has a pretty high value for what it is, but one day it will ultimately be worthless. It is tied to its demand.
>>
>>86778339
you are correct but there also big benefits to bitcoin that normal money lacks, for example the purchasing of goods on the dark web.
>>
>>86778392
I get it, but that's not exactly something I'd cheer for.

How hard is it to understand a ponzi scheme?
>>
The biggest issue I have with Bitcoin is that it is too easy to lose permanently. A simple hard drive failure can completely remove bitcoins from the economy forever and considering that there will only be a limited number of bitcoins in circulation, that isn't really sustainable in the long run.
>>
>>86778489
Yeah, I'm neither a capitalist nor an anarchist. I believe in regulation and even censorship.
Big surprise, I know, but you can't let people be themselves sometimes, or the world would be in chaos.

Cryptocurrencies are ponzi schemes. You buy bitcoins them hype them up and sell them to other retarded goys for profit, then they hype them up and sell them to other retarded goys for profit, etc. etc. The cost inflates exponentially and eventually it gets to the point where they're overpriced and everyone realizes they're worthless and they got kiked and dump them, and it crashes. Then they start it over again.
>>
>>86778665
>Are you fascist?
Well, NatSoc, but yeah.
>censorship is always wrong.
I get where you are coming from. I'd like to believe that I'm in favor of free-speech too, but I suppose I can see how it's overrated at times. I don't mind voices of opposing beliefs, I mind voices of dangerous beliefs.
Though I understand that this is a kind of a slippery-slope itself. Like, how can one objectively determine what's an opposing yet safe belief and what's an opposing and dangerous belief? Anyhow, I don't disagree with being against censorship no matter what, I see the benefits, but I guess I just can't trust people enough.
>>
>>86778917
>I just can't trust people enough.
This is precisely why you need unlimited free speech. Any group that controls/restricts information/discussion WILL inevitably become corrupt, sooner rather than later.
>>
>>86778993
You are completely correct. I suppose I just hope that there will be a time when no censorship will be required because of the natural order of society will have no need for it. Kinda too idealistic though, huh?

There's literally nothing wrong with Ponzi schemes, you just need to get in and get out at the right time. It's basically just another form of gambling.

I'm I think the value of Bitcoin is still far too volatile for universal use. However it's great for people in countries with shit currencies
>>
>>86778122
Its capitalism without the government printing up money and devaluing itself. So you have something that will be more valuable. It is traceable if you use it to buy something in real life. Its a global network of trust which comes from within the cryptography, and with the ability of users to accept it on the outside.
>>
>>86779687
No, it's a form of ripping naive goyim off. If you're shilling something to someone fully aware that it's worthless snake oil, you're a piece of shit. I could make a lot of money participating in the scheme, but instead I sell actual products because I don't enjoy manipulating and ripping people off and making their lives shittier. Mutually beneficial exchanges are much better for society than everyone trying to siphon wealth from one another.
>>
>>86779687
At the expense of somebody else losing their money, right? It's just as wrong as gambling then imo, however I don't really have anything against retards who risk their hard earned money like that.

>>86780045
Like most things, gambling is fine in moderation. But if you let it go too far and end up in a really bad situation then you only have yourself to blame.
>>
>>86780279
It's not gambling if only some people know they're doing it.

>>86780279
The genius about crypto though is that the more people believe in it the less of a scam it is.
>>
>>86780320
Mate, literally everything business related is gambling. Especially when you get into currencies, crypto and stocks.

>>86780347
Literally this. It's the same scam that every currency ever has pulled on people. You can't complain about crypto without complaining about other currencies.

No one "deserves" to get taken advantage of just for being naive or stupid. A wise/intelligent/educated person should guide and protect the stupid and uneducated, not rip them off and take advantage through lies and manipulation.

biz is nothing but bitcoin shilling, they even have threads about how best to shill is on other boards in order to raise their own value

it's a ponzi scheme that once it gets outlawed by a single government will cause a domino effect and is going to come crashing down and crashing down hard. To top it off, the vast majority of shillcoins are owned by less than 30 wallets, 20+ are confirmed as being owned by the creator of shillcoin, the next largest holder is the us government with their seizures from druggies

The value of cryptocurrency is in the ability to do highly secure near instantaneous transactions with transaction fees that are almost zero. Someone recently moved $160 million USD in seconds and the transaction fee was $0.70 USD, good luck doing that with a bank.

Okay, okay, can we at least agree that BTC is a scheme but you can profit from it if you are smart enough to pull out fast and that the only real big losers are the ones that invested in mining BTC instead of just buying and reselling it?

These losers hardly ever make money because it takes so long to mine even a minuscule amount of BTC and you absolutely need to have (multiple) top-of-the-line machines in order to make any real progress. The cost of the GPUs and the power they consume monthly is ridiculous. Especially now that companies know that high-end GPUs are used that way and they are cranking up the prices. What will happen when BTC loses value? Will you invest in more powerful GPUs to keep up with the income rate? Or will you give up and sell these now old GPUs that worth nothing compared to what you bought the for?
>>
>>86783966
I ignored mining 6 years ago because I was only getting 1 btc a day and the electricity cost more.
>>

Yeah, I hate the mining for profit faggots. That being said, miners are essential for it to work and more miners means a more trustworthy network.

No one mines BTC you mongoloid, much less with GPUs, it's too hard to compete with the chinks. You mine other coins like ETH and trade them for BTC.
