Exactly, companies and services have scammed users, but the core protocol is as good or better today than it was in 2010 and it has not been hacked. Trust me, many people would be extatic to see it happen. The fundamentals are rock solid.
Yeah, we are going to have to agree to disagree there. What you call real money backed by the government and justice systems has always failed eventually. Because people manipulate it for personal gain. I wish you good luck manipulating Bitcoin since it hasn’t happened in the 14 years it’s existed. Lots have tried, all have failed.
The same things that make it like that make it good money. If i hand you a $100 bill i cant get it back without either asking you or force. With today’s payment methods i can just call the bank crying that i never did that transaction and fuck you over. Deceptive auto renewing memberships like gyms and other things dont work either because crypto like cash is a push payment instead of a pull payment. I cant just take your money whenever i damn well feel like it you have to actively give it to me.
Edit: it also truely makes it “your money”. A government goon can call up your bank any time and have your account frozen or drained because money in the bank is a conditional IOU subject to revocation at any time for any reason with no explaination to you required.
We also wouldnt want anyone doing anything illegal with dollars, euros, yen, etc. Crypto is money and all money will be used for illegal things
You know this is quite obvious if you take two seconds to think about it. However, on the other hand, I don’t blame people because it makes them feel less lonely.
This is absolutely to be expected. If I was able to work from home remotely and then was told I’d have to go back, I would look for another job with the specific requirement that I must be able to work from home.
I was not aware of this used to open street maps at all. I thought it was based on Google Maps. Still.
If it’s not FOSS, it’s not yours.
