@brasshopper@twtxt.net bitcoin 🤮 that’s a hard no from me
@abucci@anthony.buc.ci @prologic@twtxt.net I totally get it. I probably would have agreed with you not that long ago. I’m curious what your objections are.
-1 for the negative on environment all that electricity uses. Still waiting on proof of stake.
It is also too overrun with Tech Bros scamming people to get rich quick.
It was a fun ride back when I first bought in. But I have since cached out for my lambos and such.
@xuu@txt.sour.is proof of stake = people with money get more money. It accelerates the wealth inequality problems that are already plaguing us. Crypto has even worse wealth inequality than fiat currency systems, which is 100% predictable.
@abucci@anthony.buc.ci @prologic@twtxt.net I want to emphasize that I asked that question in good faith. I genuinely want to know what ya’ll believe to be true. I don’t know everything and maybe you know something that I don’t. (In fact, I’d love to know why @prologic@twtxt.net thinks there’s been “harm to the economy”, but we can save that for later.) I wanted to hear you first before I started spouting off about why I think Bitcoin (excluding other crypto currencies) is a net good for society. But since ya’ll asked, I’ll list them in a fork of this twt. (Not gonna try to prove them off the bat. I’m just gonna list things I believe and we can discuss in forks for each one. In addition, I’m leaving room for the fact that writing these things out might lead me to realize that I’m wrong. I’m happy to admit that I’m wrong. I hope you can go in with the same attitude.)
