$BTC folks think they're the smartest people on the planet, and yet this is literally their only investment strategy that they cling to like religious zealots if you're half as smart as you think you are, trying remembering that every technological advancement has been replaced…
"Real estate investing is exploitative in nature If people didn't own more properties than they needed, the price of real estate would drop dramatically" guy who spends all day trying to exploit his position in Bitcoin and begs others to buy it complains about the price of real…
Unpopular opinion: Real estate investing is exploitative in nature If people didn't own more properties than they needed, the price of real estate would drop dramatically, giving renters the ability to buy a house instead of borrowing one forever Bitcoin fixes this
this is really nice piece of work that lays out very simply why $BTC is never going to succeed at its crippled blockrate as a transaction layer, and, in fact, may face serious security threats soon my issue with the model is that it is based on a 50x from here, and I doubt most…
$BTC $KAS
Gonna watch this later but not expecting much The clown Rajat gives terrible advice about the field he practices in, so you can imagine his takes on the merits of POW blockchains like $KAS
A very good discussion about $BTC and $KAS. Thank you @KaspaSilver, @rajatsonifnance and @MrMPodcast. youtu.be/HgWeHqRdBTY?si…
This is the hilarious new BTC maxi position: “ my HOLDING it is a use case!” Right, in the sense that you’re only feebly attempting to keep the supply lower to keep price up Sure, no one other than gold and beanie baby hoarders thought of that one before
Bitcoin's use case is as money Simply holding Bitcoin is a use case because you are storing value for the future
"I don’t like stablecoins because I don’t like fiat" Here's a hint: 99% of the ROW likes fiat, bc that's how they do COMMERCE, like buying and selling stuff to each other being able to convert to stablecoins as an on-ramp for fiat is a good thing for ALL crypto this fetish…
I don’t like stablecoins because I don’t like fiat. They will also be used to further state control over people’s money.
You’re wasting your time This is not a serious person interested in facts, logic or the truth He’s a coinwashed fanatic from a cult that rejects reason
Hey @rajatsonifnance, I'm one of the people who designed the $kas pruning protocol. It's probably the contribution that I hold most dear. I understand that you have some questions or concerns, so I'd appreciate if we could discuss this here, publicly, to iron any kinks. I fully…
"bathe yourself in boiling water, it will cleanse you from all toxins"
Surround yourself with toxic Bitcoin maxis
"I don’t think any of these guys should be put in the scenario to be role models for kids" I think these guys are good hockey players, and I think they should be allowed to see if they can play that role there's no rule or demand that you have to be a "role model" for anyone in…
I have a bad feeling about the Sens and Formenton, his rights are still owned by the Sens Innocent or Guilty I don’t think any of these guys should be put in the scenario to be role models for kids They can go on and live their lives if they’re innocent, but like everyone in…
true, we care about the difference between "accused" and "convicted" does that help?
tw: sa if you're watching the verdict of the hockey Canada sexual assault trial come in and all you care about is whether an accused sexual predator can play for your hockey team, you need psychological help
see, folks, this is what happens when you try to engage with the monkeys at the zoo about something of any importance they squeal, run around like lunatics, and throw sh** at you there's not real dialogue this is what we call "engagement farming" by being the loudest, rudest…
Shitcoiners are not your friends Their incentives are not aligned with yours They want you to buy their shitcoin so the price goes up and they can convert their bag into more Bitcoin Bitcoin is the only truly neutral money out there
the number of BTC maxis quoting "censorship resistance" as its raison d'etre is hilarious these words never appear anywhere in the original white paper while SN removed the middleman, he never suggested that the NETWORK itself EVER be REQUIRED to communicate a PARTICULAR…
Did you say "censorship resistant"?
As Grok confirms, it will only a matter of time before people are sending fully secure AUDIO messages over KASPA, and eventually... VIDEO clips at rates cheaper than any other network on the planet, including cellular networks x.com/i/grok/share/p…
"Kaspa has a bigger security concern because it will have zero block reward in 12 years" Its amazing how many of the defects in BTC that the maxis ascribe falsely to Kaspa Unlike the current version of BTC, Kaspa's protocol is specifically designed to reward miners for…
That's not a security concern at all. Stop distracting from the fact that Kaspa has a bigger security concern because it will have zero block reward in 12 years.
"We only need one asset to fulfill all the functions of money Bitcoin does this" You must have some very low threshold for using the word "fulfills" Bitcoin does not, and cannot act as money for 99.99% of the world's financial transactions - the fees dwarf most transaction…
I appreciate your support! 🤝🏼 1) The bottleneck is a feature, not a bug More transactions on the base layer means that the blockchain takes up more space and is harder for people to store on their home computers Bitcoin isn't meant to give everyone self-custody It's meant to…
"The point of Bitcoin isn't to give everyone self-custody of their money" See, the jettisoning of certain core principles is abandoned by Maxis in favor of whatever financially convenient principle puts more fiat in their pocket BTC maxis could not be more transparent
The point of Bitcoin isn't to give everyone self-custody of their money It's to ensure that the base layer of money is incorruptible Nobody has the power to manipulate the supply of Bitcoin Nobody can steal your Bitcoin by diluting your holdings There will never be more than…
Maxis when talking about Bitcoin: "ITS PERFECT! PEER TO PEER WITH NO MIDDLEMEN" when shown that $KAS does the same thing on an L1 POW, except 1000 times faster: "JUST USE FIAT, OR BETTER YET... VISA" they are so scared to defend the inadequacies of $BTC as a transaction layer…
If you hold Kaspa, I can try to tell you the truth, but I can't understand it for you Everything trends to 0 against Bitcoin on a long enough time horizon Kaspa will also trend to 0 against bitcoin Let's see how this post ages over the next 5 years
The "just use Visa" argument now seems like an upgrade from the "just use fiat" argument from a few days ago its almost like Bitcoin people don't understand the purpose or function of a currency like $KAS
I’m sorry, but this is just too sad, honestly, even pathetic to watch. Where are the real Bitcoiners who actually value sovereignty? Pushing for centralized money isn’t a solution to the $BTC & $KAS debate. And even to bring this out is plain painful to read.
What he means to say is “ I question your lack of blind faith in a technology that is obsolete for crypto payment transactions “
Vijay I'm starting to question your understandingnof Bitcoin
