Republicans who believe trump’s lies are stupid. Believing lies with 0 proof makes you stupid by definition. I’m not prejudiced toward ripple because I hold xrp. I hold xrp because I have done shitloads of research. I bought xrp years ago because I saw this day coming. What you call “prejudice” is what I call the benefit of having a plan based on knowledge and information. Same reason I hold xlm. Same reason I hold algorand, hbar, Xdc. There is a REAL WORLD USE for these technologies. Jpegs of apes is NOT the basis of the new global financial system. Eth is garbage. Btc is useless. Don’t believe the hype. This is the literal definition of “do your own research”

She finds that the Programmatic sales do not satisfy the 3rd prong of Howey - no reasonable expectation of profit. (Congrats to you 75k XRP holders and Deaton). That's about $757 million worth. Ripple wins that. 3. She finds "other" sales were not really sales... ...and don't meet the first prong of Howey. That's about $600 million. Ripple wins. 4. She does not adopt the "investment contracts require a contract" test (although in a weird way she does). Ripple loses that. 5. She does not allow the FND to proceed to trial. Ripple loses 6. As expected, the individual Defendant's issues will go to trial. 7. She does NOT address secondary markets sales but, per this Order, MOST OF THE XRP OUT IN THE WORLD ARE NOT SECURITIES. And so, with a fungible token, it's not logically possible.... ...that any one XRP token is inherently a security. Therefore, secondary market sales are not unlawful sales. In Conclusion, congratulations to you. Ripple will appeal (probably). But it will absolutely survive. This is what I love about the law.

It's not a problem. First of all, it doesn't matter if there are 21 million bitcoin or only one. It's just a matter of divisibility and if we need smaller denominations, we can use second layers. If we are on a bitcoin standard, all the coins (that aren't lost) represent the entire value of everything there is. The problem your describing is, that one person owns basically half the worth of the entire world. Think about it, thats completely unrealistic. Why would one even try to get to that point and not spend something before? Also: by purchasing HALF THE WORLD, that may cause problems and crash markets, they bring the coins back into circulation. The rules are still the same. This scenario is a real threat in a Proof of Stake system, not in bitcoin. In bitcoin distribution gets fairer over time. In Fiat its the other way around. Look up the Cantillion-effect. Additionally, if quantum computers get advanced enough, the oldest coins mined by satoshi will get accessed again because the adresses won't get updated.

Been a holder for over a year and generated multiple BNB’s in dividens so far. Not from staking or some other ponzi, but from REAL WORLD REVENUE, that is shared with holders. Team does also overdeliver. The roadmap that was created was completely achieved 6 months before the expected date. And countless extra revenue streams were created as a bonus. Like crypto creditcards, donation platform and more.

Maybe someday, with wide adoption. At 100k per coin you get a market cap of 2.1 trillion USD. There are only 4 companies in the WORLD that hit MCs at 2 Trillion. So you’re saying that at some point, bitcoin will be valued as much as the most ‘elite’ corporations on earth.

I don't see how anyone with without injecting Kool-Aid into their veins can not see 99% of these coins are securities. THAT IS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD THOUGH! Registering with the SEC is not hard though, these businesses just have to disclose financials, ownerships, and provide audited statements like any other company that wants to sell to public investors. If these coins can not provide the minimal levels of disclosures that shows a lot more about them then the SEC.

Guys, I was getting a bit nervous about Bitcoin tonight and thought maybe, you know, it wasn't actually the future of the world.....but then I remembered Michael Saylor is all in and I got a huge sigh of relief. It can't possibly go to zero now. ALL HAIL MICAHEL SAYLOR. THE KING OF BITCOIN. THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD.

Splic3r123

Concept is great, could use utilized in other sectors. Useless when the currency it's moving around is useless. BTC, ETH, all no practical use. No daily need. Can't go buy something tangible with them. BTC was closest because a tech billionaire tried it, phased out quickly, for good reason. Still high gas. Still slow transfer. Still NO REAL WORLD use.

It’s code and publicly available to anyone in the world, so the failures of man will be a problem no matter what we’re talking about… So to answer your question using the hyperbolic “99% scam bullshit” statement, the other 1% is what’s EVM is good for. Creating contractual agreements between individuals ALL OVER THE WORLD without a need (or even the ability in most cases as we can’t create binding agreements across international borders ) to bring a court or paperwork into the endeavor is unprecedented. Most people on Earth cannot safely or reliably have any contractual agreements between each other without some level of government intervention… but now they can, and a lot of people on Earth are scammers… so that 1% of developers will have a lot of work to do, and developers willing to hold themselves to the highest standards will become the only ones worth working with… But specifically my point was that EVM is accelerating and progressing in an unbelievable way that is actively developed by not only the thousands of individuals in the Ethereum developer community but in the 50 plus other blockchains which have adopted it as their standard. Similarly to how javascript has become an effective standard for web development because many web developer toolsets and apis have been developed on top of javascript…

Sorry to be that guy, but there wont be a new bullrun. Crypto as a whole is now seen as what it was all along. Greater fools theory at unprecidented levels. Luckily tho, for a few years now, ALL THE WORLD knows about crypto, which means there is no fresh blood to be had ever again. Sure some fools will burn a bit more of their money, but the retail capital it takes to 5x this ship is not in the cards anymore. It was a wild ride, spikes like last week are just exit liquidity for the biggest criminals in the system. Sell and run is all the advice i can give.

because you talking about fax isnt at all relevant. yes some areas use fax. but the MASSIVE BROAD MAJORITY OF THE WORLD uses email. and a few very bespoke or niche areas use fax...Dr offices for one.

You and all other commenters like you are approaching it from your Reddit-browsing, I developed shitty Geocities and AngelFire websites in 1997, I was born in the age of the internet, my schooling was done from a tablet perspective. You, and everyone with your mindset, fail to realize that you're the top 15% of tech-savvy individuals *IN THE WORLD.* I made that number up but wouldn't be surprised if it's more like top 5%. With an exchange, "funds" and tokens and coins and anything crypto related can flow relatively easily and for cheap. If you forget a password, you click a button and it gets a reset emailed to you. Lose track of your seed in self custody mode, you're fucked, nobody's coming to save you, your $600 or $2,300 or $11,879 are just gone, poof. Locked away literally forever. How you people don't realize the high barrier to entry is baffling, and this is coming from someone who used a Bitcoin ATM in 2014 (and the Geocities reference may or may not have been from personal experience).

Let's look how humanity defines money through the following three functions: # 1. Medium of Exchange # How efficient can the money in question be transported through space? Unlike FIAT or Gold, Bitcoin can be transported instantaneously to the other side of the planet in a matter of seconds. Gold and fiat have to literally be moved. Lame. Oh, fiat is also digital? Why is it such a hassle to transfer across continents? Why can't I suddenly receive fiat money from family members if I lived in afghanistan? Oh man, have you ever thought about the absolute headache of multimillion-cross border transactions? Gold is obviously better money than fiat, but you know why they invented fiat? Because it allows for a higher volatility of money. Back when the chinese we're riding horses with bronze (also a rare metal, like gold) they were limited due to the weight. Paper was the invention of being able to transport much faster much more efficient. IIRC it costed like 10% worth of the total amount of gold you wanted to move across the sea. Bitcoin solves all of this through the blockchain. But you know whats even better? This blockchain just so happen to record literally every single transaction, ever. So, if we record the transactions, why even bother slapping humanities defintion of money on a physical "thing"? Might aswell not do that, and just record everything. Because now you literally can not confiscate it. Nothing in the history of humanity was there a "unconfiscatable" money. And this is EXACTLY what bitcoin is. This aspect, is even more valuable than it's decentralized aspect according to Max Keiser. ## 2. Store of value # How much buying power will you maintain over a long period of time? FIAT is targeted with a 2% inflation rate, that the central banks do not even fully understand how to properly balance this themselves. They literally have 3 tools, print more money, tell everyone they will print more money, raise interest rates, and since the irreversible crash from 2008 they suddenly have "a new tool" called: buying everything up. (Look at the ECB balance sheet. God damn, the euro is goin to shit soon... it already has 20% inflation on last year, which had 9% inflation on that year before................). Even IF fiat manages to become deflationairy, apparently the whole economy collapses, so they tell us that they will avoid deflation at all cost?.. as far as I know, stable inflation gives steroids to production (thus: environmental damage, for instance: creating stuff that breaks fast to sell more of it) and overleverages the economy (thus: causing massive depressions and WORLD WARS) read the bitcoin standard by saifedean ammous or read into the austrian school of economics (as opposed to the now-rigged keynesian school of economics). Or read the changing world orders by ray dalio. Doing that right now, I love it so much. gold on the other hand, is actually considered "a better store of value" than bitcoin currently according to current market valuations (There is about 40 times more money in gold than in bitcoin). That may be true for the short term, but definitely not for the long term. look at [this chart](https://miro.medium.com/proxy/0*KGADAwZD1pktM-rD) to see how much BETTER bitcoin performs compared to gold, yet gold is still 40 times more valuable according to our collective valuation as a spieces. If you dont want the rational view of bitcoin outperforming gold on literally every single aspect of money (besides history, obviously), then look at following (logarithmic) price charts: btc/usd and btc/xau dollar. Bitcoin FAR out performs gold on price movement aswel. The god damn btc/xau is pretty much the same as btc/usd. This means that bitcoin does not only store value MUCH better, it grows value MUCH stronger. If bitcoin had golds current marketcap it would be worth around 500k in usd right now. Before I go to the last one, I have to admit that bitcoin doesn't fulfill this third function yet (infact, despite bitcoin performing absolutely incredible at function 1 and 2, it really sucks at this third function currently) but please read this bit, it's important before I go on: # the world changed during the enlightenment period. This is because the dutch were the first to invent a central reserve currency: the Guilder. It allowed for global trade, causing massive eruptions in technological development. It was stable at the beginning, but due to people being people (often careless and often corrupt) they had to print more and more of it just to deal with the economic booms and busts. This inflation lead to conflicts, which lead to wars, which the British won during the end of the 18th century. Then the British had the central reserve currency status with their currency: the pound. They pretty much went through the same cycle, and lost their central reserve currency status to the dollar in the aftermath of world war 2. The dollar, right now worth at 105.7 TRILLION (roughly 300 times the amount of bitcoin), is the central reserve currency, aka: "the main global money". And you guessed it, it's nearing the Exact. Same. Cycle. As the previous 2 central reserve currencies. We need a central reserve currency because this currency will be the "anchor", allowing all other currencies to be compared with each other. Because the dollar is currently gifted with the central reserve currency status, it remains stable in price. One can speculate that an asset, as big and as important as the dollar, wont be volatile by any stretch of the imagination if handled properly. (Corruption is the main reason why the dollar being handled the wrong way, and bitcoin is incorruptible + democratically programmable) Alright, lets go:

TrypZBTC

2024 was always my logical guess as thats when the next btc halving occurs and what typically kicks off major crypto bull cycles. With that aside i'm not sure why so many content creators and analysts are calling the bottoms in. Makes absolutely 0 sense with the economic climate the entire WORLD is in right now. In my opinion we are in the denial phase of the Wall Street Market Psychology cycle cheat sheet, and we have much further downside to come before we see a major pivot. Nothing logical in my opinion really points to anything sooner than 2024. 2 years gives the Fed time to stabilize inflation, see a major market crash and begin recovering. A world war or anything tragic would indefinitely prolong the down side and cause further pain.

oh yeah, dude - cmc, coingecko, messari, THE WHOLE WORLD is colluding to slander XRP when literally everyone else disagrees with your definition of circulating supply you might be drinking kool aid bro https://messari.io/asset/xrp/chart/sply-circ > The circulating supply acknowledges that tokens may be held by projects/foundations which have no intent to sell down their positions, but which have not locked up supply in a formal contract. Thus, circulating supply does not include known project treasury holdings (which can be significant). Note that an investor must carefully consider both liquid and circulating supplies when evaluating an asset, and the two can vary significantly. A risk of depending entirely on circulating supply is that the number can change dramatically based on discretionary sales from project treasuries.

I’m a newbie with understanding Bitcoin, only been collecting it for 1.5 years. But whenever people talk of a country hypothetically banning Bitcoin, they always talk of going to other countries to use it… But with my coins on a private wallet, isn’t the reason they can’t ban it because we can just send the money peer to peer? Isn’t that the point? Like, let’s go a step further and say the ENTIRE WORLD bans Bitcoin instantly and in concert. Isn’t it still possible to trade Bitcoin in a world where it’s completely banned? Is there a way they can stop the blockchain?

Yup, the almighty Petro-Dollar. Iraq wasn't even just "considering" selling their Oil in Euros instead of dollars. They officially applied to do so with the United Nations back in October of 2000. And the UN actually approved the move from dollars to Euro. [https://www.rferl.org/a/1095057.html](https://www.cnn.com/2000/WORLD/meast/10/30/iraq.un.euro.reut/) Iraq did this to try and lessen the impact of US sanctions against them. Sanctions that had been put in place in 1990 due to Iraq's unlawful invasion of Kuwait. The US had Sanctions on Iraq for over a decade, and part of those sanctions were measures put in place by the UN security council to prevent Iraq from escalating it's military or building weapons of mass destruction. But in 2003 the US intelligence community discovered (made up) "evidence" of WMD's in Iraq. Despite the fact that Iraq had complied with the UN security council's demands to end it's nuclear plan. We found no WMDs or even any evidence that WMDs were being developed. Some US officials also claimed early on that Sadam had ties to al-Qaeda, but that was also proven false. The US invasion of Iraq was later declared by the UN to be completely unjustified and unlawful under international law. But no one can sanction us because our military and economic power is too great. There's no "smoking gun" proof that the war was all about Iraq's oil reserves, but everyone knows it as the unofficial truth at this point.

>THE WORLD IS SO FUCKING CLEAN. https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/strawman > People are having such high standards of living right now everywhere. It's actually, **by EXTREMELY** far, the best moment to be born in the history of humanity. We are losing ONE BILLION poor people per DECADE. That's one BILLION, 1/8th of all humans, coming out of poverty, and similar numbers entering the middle class range of standards of living, **every decade**. If you follow the curve, it's headed towards the near-complete disappearance of poverty in the coming decade or two. By all indicators, it's (globally) in fact the best time in human history in terms of: * Technological progress. * Access to technology. * Medical progress (do you want to have Cancer today, or in the 80s? Same for most illnesses really...) * Access to medical care. * Civil rights. * Standards of living. * Access to education. * Access to information * Democracy (it is the time in human history at which it is **least likely** you will be born under a repressive regime). * Chances you'll die in a war. * Chances you'll die of a pandemic. * Chances you'll die of crime/violence. * Access to proper legal representation/justice. * Corruption/corruption fighting. * Access to the Internet. * Access to food / malnutrition (there has never been as few people dying of hunger per-capita as **today**, in of all of history). The list goes on, this is true of almost all/any indicator you can think of. Two big exceptions: global warming, and endangered species/ecosystems. But on both fronts, we are making excellent progress towards reversing the trend (much better than was expected a couple decades ago). I would expect the reason you think this is not true, is your source of information is not actual scientific literrature, but instead some kind of politically-motivated information source that is lying to you and presenting to you a world that is going much worse than it really is.

Crypto was never meant to solve the inequalities in the world, it was to remove boundaries and reduce manipulation and store a single truth. It's agnostic when it comes to rich and poor. And threats all alike. PoS doesn't create centralization anymore then mining does. It still is better then mining pools that centralizes hash rate. Both make the rich richer btw. None are going to make the poor richer because that never was/is the goal of crypto. Thats an unrealistic goal anyway. Crypto does equalizes everyone within its sphere. This means poor people get another chance at the game which they are losing by default in the regular finance system. Staking in eth cost much because they want you to have skin in the game. Only those who are willingly to part 50k of their value can stake and so they have a lot of skin in the game. This lowers the changes for them to manipulate the chain. This also balances the chain out. While 50k is a lot, it is "low" enough that WORLD WIDE thousands can still participate to it. Hell, millions even. I like nano. But that's not going to work for Eth. Too much value on it for it to simply go on the trust and support of the community. "You secure it because you use it" sounds nice but hasn't been truly proven. PoW has with BTC and the era of PoS has now come to show it's truly reliable.

>Why do you criticise this step or the way we react to it? Please read what I have said. In all my posts here I have never once criticized Ethereum. I am criticizing the statement that Ethereum moving to POS has reduced the WORLD'S energy consumption. It hasn't. Not has it reduced humanities carbon emissions. If you want to praise Ethereum then do so for what it is. Ethereum by moving to POS has stopped utilizing 0.2% of the world's electricity. In doing so, that electricity can now be redistributed to other areas. How many more people in the heat waves can get a bit of relief now? How many blackouts does this move help prevent? That is a massive help to humanity. Celebrate Ethereum for that. But stop this ridiculous lie that Ethereum switching to POS has reduced the world's energy consumption. It absolutely has not. This is the same misleading bullshit that governments and corporations have been saying for decades. "We are carbon neutral because we plant trees" for example. Take your blinders off and see this for what it is. Stop perpetuating this misleading lie.

Worldwide adoption has its consequences. Its like saying "I WANT CRYPTO BEING ADOPTED ALL OVER THE WORLD!!!! except you MasterCard, you're not invited". If we want massive adoption, we must accept the fact that crypto is universal, and EVERYONE can adopt it if they understand the risks. Its an adoption paradox, for the better or for the worse.

#HOLD indeed and #HODL in need! TLDR: Crypto is lots different that stocks. Stocks have higher entry requirements and at low end investing results are slow and small. Crypto offers smaller investing from $5-$10 min investment and you can open positions. With and or without KYC/ID verification. Only non KYC will have way less market capacity to move or trade. Eg on Binance it’s 2 BTC max per day for non verified users for verified users it’s up to 200 bitcoin as volume on day to move per day. Then for higher or corporate investors and traders there is a professional account I believe which give added security to funds ( users funds on binance without KYC aren’t safe or secure by their theft policy’s) so that’s another reason to verify on any exchange but don’t use just any exchange for crypto do your research and make sure it’s widely known and has good reputation support and low fees like always! This factor also has never … sorry, when ever the rate of addresses and accumulation of $btc in this case, goes up the price always follows and peaks afterwards. As you can see in the above picture reference times at every first year until 2015 when price goes down before more holders with 10k ups the price goes up in 2016-2018~ before bear in 2018 then up again in 2020 and while LATELY the drop of 10k Holders over 2021- start of 2022. Now it’s going up fast OVER A SHORT TIME FRAME. With the most market influence since it’s creation and having more of cryptocurrency and Bitcoin in the spot light is making for many many INSTITUTIONAL LEVEL INVESTMENTS which are or can be of 10k~ bitcoin. Still those with 10k Bitcoin are billionaires or massive corporate companies and firms or even individuals who have over the years compounded their initial 1 or 1k bitcoin for $1 a piece and held or used some and sold some and staked some and now has 1k or 10k Full Bitcoins which calculates today at $24,500 ea x 10,000 is 245 million (wow I seriously thought it would be billions..) anyway 10k Bitcoin 250m company or individual who has over 250m is the 0.01% I mean 5% of the population Atleast in AM have 5+ property’s and it gets smaller and smaller the more property’s or assets people have the less people in that bracket there are.. as saying goes rich get richer. If you have 5 property’s lease 4 live in one that’s 4 incomes without working only maintaining the property’s or paying for the real estate to do that then put half your gains or savings into blue chip stock (bitcoin doesn’t get franking credits/tax payed for you by the company on your shares) maybe Bitcoin EFTs perhaps but I do not think so. Since they aren’t a standard stock or even a new era digital only company that is listed on the stock exchange like eg Discord (watch for that IPO on exchanges and in news) I WILL BE BUYING discord stocks. Also many other HUGE tech names and tech is mostly what I would invest in but that because I know the market I wouldn’t invest in bonds or health sector or finacial sector like banks (but I know big banks will always be fine) as an investment is solid as you will get more out of your money on owning their company or a share of it than letting them use your money via holding it in a savings or term interest bank account. You will make (depending on the amount you have to invest from 0.5%-10% on your balance) really though for $1000-$10000 your going to get like nothing well maybe 1% so $100 on 10k. Where $10k in their shares may yield you $150 per quarter in dividends plus your balance mag go up or down backed on the market over that year. But big banks NOW will go Boom for 2022 Q3-4 and all of 2023 especially in flourishing countries like Australia NewZealand Holland America Japan many more that’s just a little list..random too. But investing in Blue chip stock or shares is what I recommend for anyone NEW to investing .. or trading if your REALLY WANT TO LEARN HOW AND WHY CRYPTO IS HERE AND WHY IT WORKS YOU FORST MUST KNOW WHY MONEY WORKS AND WHY AND HOW IT CHANGES AND FLUCTUATES ACROSS EVERY SECTOR OF THE WORLD WHERE MONEY IS A NECESSITY OR REQUIREMENT. Which is 99.9% of earth.. Learning markets and economy dosent mean you need to hold stocks and shares. It’s learning how to manage and find information on companies and know how to use the info and do the math to find data pockets or areas of the market where it is sentimentally (word on the street/ chats/ social/ newspapers/ articles etc as positive or negative Fear or Euphoria or the many other psychological effects/correlations to market movement or actions. Which is also a good thing to learn and learn with $ pennys or tiny stocks and tiny volume the lowest volume most brokers or banks that have exchanges offer is $500 USD some are less like $100 USD it depends on country for me it’s around $370 USD for a buy in to a new company which then after you buy in you can TOP UP with NO or a very LOW minimum like $5 or $10 to add to your position balance/portfolio. This is why CRYPTO is much more Accessible to anyone wanting to TRY the market and Try tech analysis or following sentiment at the same time (do both neither is better than the other but OF-COURSE analytical data and Tech Analysis is a must where Sentiment data is more secondary (in crypto) but for stocks and shares it’s much more important almost as important or more than tech analysis as economic conditions are what make the market go up and down and those conditions are made by the country’s economic calendar from the events each day has but for most that calendar makes NO sense to someone who can read tech analysis data but are new to economic data and sentimental data. It’s a way different approach to figuring out where markets may go in short long term. Again using both analysis of sentiment and technicals is important in any self investing or choosing stocks or crypto markets to invest or trade in.

Look through this guy's content and the level of constant paranoia is almost laughable. Almost every video is predicting "WORLD WAR" or some type of "COLLAPSE." The "COLLAPSE" has been either "COMING" or "ALREADY HERE" for at least a year. I don't even hate the video, but if you predict collapse or catastrophe 100% of the time, you will inevitably eventually be right.

"If I throw some paper into a fire, the ash isn't more worth than the paper, just because more energy was used to produce it." - you choose this example specifically to arrive at a desired conclusion. What if you throw a piece of meat into the fire ? "BTC from expensive countries or mined with inefficient gear would suddenly be worth more than BTC mined in cheap countries with efficient gear." \- yes, this is true, and this is true for literally any product in the world. If you have an abundance of anything from a certain place where it is easier to make, the price of that thing will go down on the international markets. Supply and demand dictates the price in real time and sets the final price. "For example that he was a literal inspiration for Hitler, who said so after being asked why he has a picture of Henry Ford in his office. " - well, also for example the Nazis were the first to use mass radio, to develop the jet engine and microwave ovens. In all of these cases, the political affiliation has nothing to do with the usefulness of the end product. [https://energybackedmoney.com/chapter6.html](https://energybackedmoney.com/chapter6.html) \- Thank you for the link, it was a very interesting read. The author says himself at the start that inflation is a big issue because printing money out of thin air (as the federal reserve does now) not backed up by anything, could lead to all sorts of problems. By the way, every time the Fed prints money, the money that you have in your bank account losses its value because of the increased supply of money overall. Inflation is theft in a way because your money in your bank account lose value and that value is translated in the new money printed out of thin air by the Federal Reserve, which they can use as they see fit. It is the value of your money that flies out of your bank account and into their hands. If you just keep money in your bank while getting almost no interest rate, you will lose value every year because of the Federal Reserve's inflation. This is not the case with Bitcoin. Bitcoin solves inflation as it is a deflationary asset. Also, the author admits there are many ways to implement energy backed money and gives just one example. It is true that the way Bitcoin works now, being increasingly deflationary, makes it more of an energy backed store of value and not a currency, and I really don't see it every replacing currency, just running parallel with it as a store of value. "Other issues I see or don't understand yet: a new power plant is installed, suddenly your money is worth less? A terrorist bombs a power plant, now money is worth more suddenly?" - yes, if you would get 1$ for 1gram of gold, and suddenly, half of the gold in the world would disappear, due to its rarity, you would need 2$ for 1 gram since it is only normal that people would not agree to do the exchange at the same price. This is where you would need regulation, as the author in the articles above said. In this case, you would need to deflate the money supply by 50% also, so that 1$ = 1gram again. Who knows, BTC might fail, but at least it solves inflation as a store of value, it runs with no 3rd party involved (no bank, no government, no Fed), no matter what anyone does, as long as you have your private keys, NOBODY IN THE WORLD can take that value from you, it is the first monetary system that enables you to check transactions made in 2012 even in the year 2080, and it is literally the first time in human history when you can send value from a cave in Tibet to the pampas of Peru in 8 minutes with no other party involved. These reasons alone make BTC at least worth trying out.

I am for better shit. Electric cars are cool not because they reduce carbon emissions it's because they have 100% torque available immediately. Reducing greenhouse gases is simply a byproduct. BTC is superior to Fiat and central banks know this which is why they are rushing to disinform the world about BTC while simultaneously creating a CBDC. IF CBDC EVER BEATS BTC YOU CAN KISS THE WORLD AS YOU KNOW IT GOODBYE!!

No, its NOT like that on his level. If its some random nobody actor then sure. They just want/need to work. Long as it isn't abhorrent then whatever. Matt Damon doesn't NEED the money. Also he has an agent and a lawyer and a PR rep and the list goes on. He gets to choose what he does. So why do this? I'm sure ANY brand in the US or WORLD would LOOOVE to have him. No he chose to do this knowing full well what it was he was promoting so heavily and I'm SURE he got one hell of a payday. He is doing an ad for finance. He knew what he was getting into/doing.

It doesn't hurt, but you aren't defining "mass adoption," so you sound like "how do I get boomers to become emo noise black midi nightcore fans?" The internet analogy is appropriate here. Any computer nerd in the 1980s who was accessing the early internet was a rarity. People didn't have computers in their homes. This question of adoption is like asking "how do we make people adopt computers?" You can't force the meme. Computers had to come down in cost, have infrastructure in place to meet demand, (cable internet wasn't even mainstream until the very late 90s), and have a value proposition that reached more people. Nobody sold computers as "with this you can overthrow tyranny," it was more like "with this you can look at n00dz.jpg and get groomed in chat rooms." The perfect example is QR codes. Years ago, QR codes were dead on the vine because nobody wanted to download an app just to use a QR code. Then in 2017 iPhones had QR codes built in. People still didn't give a shit immediately... and we know what happened since. So your strategy is not much different than saying in 2016 "hey, you should scan this QR code... just download this app to do it" or in 2017 "hey, you should scan this QR code, your iPhone will need to be updated to iOS11" ...but none of that is even remotely as impactful as "we don't have menus at our restaurant anymore because if you touch them you might die so scan the QR code to view it on the website or just leave." It's also a generational thing. Some high school kid has probably been trading crypto (crypto, not just bitcoin) via apps for years now. If iOS suddenly had its own non-custodial wallet, tied into apple pay, whatever... you can see the nightmares on the horizon of people losing money and the criticism Apple would draw from that. Killer apps already exist but they all have a KYC commonality, or are in bed with old money to make the fiat off/onramps happen. even worse some of them normalize custodial "not real crypto." So mass adoption happens when all of this friction will remove. When you can go to a vendor and say "do you accept bitcoin, it would be less expensive and less hassle for you to do so than other options" they'll probably already have been aware of it. It will just be some sort of NFC "i don't care what I'm paying with" feature of a phone. Little kids will have crypto lemonade stands and not lose business because they didn't use a vastly more convenient square reader. But until then, if you have to couple "it's less expensive in the long run because founding fathers love freedom so be a patriot and eat the costs now, for the future children" you're not really doing anything substantial besides potentially raise awareness for people who don't use the internet. But if you're young? In the next few decades crypto, or, "digital currency" will be so norrmalized that all of this "trying to force the meme" will look quaint. This egocentric horseshit plaguing modern social media of "HOW I SPECIFICALLY, SINGLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD IF ONLY WE ALL DID WHAT I DO" is so fucken eyeroll worthy it shows a true lack of awareness of metaself. The companies that are young enough and agile enough are game, or interested. Those that aren't are following a dataset of trends that far exceeds "bro in unsustainable business model coffeeshop likes to tinker." It isn't cynical to believe that any grassroots outreach or adoption as you're proposing is trivially crushed or overrun by law or normalization of a bigger tech movement. How many steps away from being required to KYC to sell someone bitcoin for fiat is it to require that to sell someone tacos for crypto?
