most people are stupid and don't do things unless the crowd tells them it's okay
😛 and how big is your friend group? i also don't know anyone, but i'm a loser ahahah. but the fallacy of something not being worthwhile, because of an anecdote of not knowing anyone doing it, doesn't really interest me. in fact, it makes it more interesting
remember this?
didn't age well. here's a longer explanation:
do you agree that people making fun on the Internet in 1995 were
lacking in imagination? then you should be excited about the Bitcoin project, that aims to remove the government/Fed/banks from our lives, using peer-to-peer digital cash. i'd be happy to send you some links about cryptocurrency/blockchain, if you want. if you've already decided it's stupid, then no worries! i have 200 grand in precious metals in my safe, zero debt, and other physical assets that i bought with crypto years ago when crypto peaked....so i don't really have a dog in this fight, other than my libertarian desire to liberate the oppressed by banking the unbanked. follow Roger Ver if you want more info on this; he inspired me greatly. and remember that for the past 4 years it has been "popular" to fear COVID which is basically just a common cold, wear cloth masks that don't work, get experimental vaccines, and avoid exercising outdoors in the sun...because "The Science" - so no, appeals to what other people do are quite stupid to me
going back to real estate, have you ever heard of the blockchain holding real estate
titles and also maintaining the validity of documents like
birth certificates? there are also
Smart Contracts that are changing the game in a lot of areas. and for this topic, why would a site exist like this, if no one (i'm a "one" lol) wants to do it?

it's funny you think pallets of $100 USD bills is efficient. i could send you 100K right now with BCH for less than a cent, it would be permanently yours in your "wallet" in 10 minutes or less (6 confirmations), and no government or centralized entity could stop us, as long as you and i had an internet connection. crypto really is a revolution, even if the TV Man didn't say it was yet. Wire Transfers cost at least 25 bucks, you have to sign a USA PATRIOT Act explanation, wait for the funds to confirm in a certain amount of business day(s), and your bank can deny/lose it, it can get rejected, etc. (you don't really own your money, when things get hard. ask people in Cyprus, Greece, Argentina, India, or Canadian truckers).
and just because you don't want crypto (but you hold the worthless-by-definition USD fiat digital money that has no actual value and can be printed to hyperinflation with the whims of the Federal Reserve), doesn't mean other people don't. if you knew BCH was worth $220 USD now, but it would be worth $2,200 in a year, you certainly would want it, right?
i'm not hung-up about anything...that's you projecting some sort of psychological issue onto me, which i don't have. i've been a crypto advocate since 2016 or so, and i love the tech. i agree that the government of Argentina in the end will have the final say, which is why i'm looking for a lawyer who has done it, or wants to do it. i hope this doesn't come off as angry...i just like debating, and i've been quite wrong about things before. i guarantee you are very mistaken about almost everything about Blockchain technology.
i still haven't met an enemy of Bitcoin that knows anything about how it works, etc. (in fact, the most vehement are always the ones that can't explain anything at all about it)
