Re: Bitcoin
Dogecoin is being pumped and it's cheap enough to get in very small right now.
I remember seeing this alt coin way back when and thought it was silly. But it may be the next big thing. Who knows.
Buying crypto seems to be a pain in the ass, but that's necessary, right? They need proof of who I am and whatnot. Whether you use Binance or Kraken you have to upload a PDF of your bank statement and an ID card.
What are you guys using to buy crypto?

Re: Bitcoin
Yeah, he does show up as part of my team as well. I guess it increases your mining rate if you can get two (or three?) additional people. Was talking this over with a friend and think this might be a better "bet" (not that we're putting anything up other than time) than I had previously thought when you factor in how horrible "regular" blockchains are for the environment. If these guys can somehow sell themselves simply as "environmentally friendly blockchain" then it might really take off one day. Just needs to somehow go viral one of these days or otherwise get into the zeitgeist like Bitcoin did.A_B wrote: ↑Fri Jan 29, 2021 9:21 amHey Brian,A_B wrote: ↑Wed Jan 27, 2021 7:15 amOh, why not.brian wrote: ↑Tue Jan 26, 2021 5:11 pm Just had a friend turn me on to a new beta mobile cryptocurrency that you can mine on mobile devices without using data or processing power.

Re: Bitcoin
Well, it's not technically a crypto currency yet. They seem to be building a network that will, once it's large enough, begin blockchain operations to try to be a crypto. It has zero value as of now as Brian mentioned. The main drawing point seem to be it won't require the energy that is currently required.The Sybian wrote: ↑Fri Jan 29, 2021 11:11 amStill curious, what does mining mean, they just but free crypto currency in your account for logging in?degenerasian wrote: ↑Fri Jan 29, 2021 11:07 am It looks good.

And the pyramid scheme aspect is just that anyone I add to my network (and I encourage any swampers to use brian as the godfather here but I don't feel bad about adding personal contacts to mine.) also become a part of brians network and he gets a little bit more per day and so do I. I'm at 0.15/hour where before my friend joined i was at .12/hour.

Re: Bitcoin
Yeah. For a simple definition, think of a big chunk of block made of millions of squares. When you mine, you're are using your computer power to solve algorithms to gain a square. When you buy or sell, you are selling a square. It's like a shared ledger. Not sure how it totally works with this Pi since you're using no power really and they're just giving it away?The Sybian wrote: ↑Fri Jan 29, 2021 11:11 amStill curious, what does mining mean, they just but free crypto currency in your account for logging in?degenerasian wrote: ↑Fri Jan 29, 2021 11:07 am It looks good.

As A_B mentions, this is not even a block yet, so me using the term mining is probably incorrect.

Re: Bitcoin
As with any crypto it has to establish itself as something that people will see as having value. They seem to be leveraging network effects to do this instead of traditional current cryptos that leverage hardware capability and has higher barriers to entry.
I'd say it's a less than 5% chance this becomes real, but like Brian mentioned in the first post about it, you are literally doing nothing but clicking a button once a day. There's also a good chance that the only people that would end up making real money are the people that started. I've been reading a lot about crypto lately and this is strictly a flyer bet, but with no cost. Free chips!

Re: Bitcoin
How will this eventually get value? Something has to go into it to make it have value, right? You can't just make up a word, give it to people for free, and eventually have people trade it as currency.

Re: Bitcoin
That's just what most cryptos do. There is no "gold standard" backing it. It's not fiat (sorry I misplaced this definition - fiat has value because the government says it has value) and the value is just that people trust it's worth what the market says it's worth. Because it is decentralized, people see it as an international currency. And the transparency involved (every transaction made by anyone is technically viewable) makes some people think that it is less prone to manipulation by a few players.The Sybian wrote: ↑Fri Jan 29, 2021 11:24 amHow will this eventually get value?

Re: Bitcoin
If you want to get really, really deep, that $100 bill in your wallet is merely a piece of cloth paper and only has value because we as a society decide it has value. It doesn't even have gold backing it up any more, so the only real value it has is derived from the collective acknowledgment that it has value. On a larger degree than might make a lot of people comfortable, the same is true for Bitcoin.A_B wrote: ↑Fri Jan 29, 2021 11:30 amThat's just what most cryptos do.

Re: Bitcoin
That kind of hits on my general skepticism of the stock market as a whole. Cash doesn't worry me because its universal. If the 1% decides to cash out and divest from the stock market, is there really any recourse beyond yelling "but I still own this stock!" while the value plummets?

This is where we, as insulated middle to upper class people, don't realize that access to the internet is still not as prevalent as it should be. And it's a self-fixing issue but older people still do use checks all the time.

It's not just old folks, but those lower down the socio-economic ladder. It's why you see a lot of pushback against restaurants (and others) in big cities that want to go strictly paperless... Many activists correctly point out that this is an unintentional (hopefully) form of racism or classism.

Or when she buys her first house, the down payment will be by check for such a large amount. I don't think that will change.

Not a great start on this Pi app. Twice, I've given it my phone number so it can text me a code to continue. Haven't gotten a text. I've never had an app fail to send me a verification text.
