I find it funny that bitcoin fails to do what it was created to do and that people are so invested in it they can't change it or let it die. You can't buy a cup of coffee without paying large confirmation fees or delaying the transaction for day to weeks. There was talk about decentralizing smaller transactions to ease up on that but that defeats the whole purpose of bitcoin.

- Lordarminius 7y agoMany new inventions fail to do what they set out to originally do.That does not make them less valuable. Viagra started out as an anti-angina drug, Coca cola was originally a cough syrup, VCRs found an initial niche in recording porn. If Bitcoin fails as a currency but succeeds as a store of value, that's still a win.

- stale2002 7y agoHahahah! Let me know when Craig Wright actually signs the genesis block, and cryptographicly proves that he is Satoshi, and does so publicly in a way that I can personally verify. When that happens, I will give you 1000$ worth of BSV. It won't happen though.
- onion-soup 7y agoRegardless if he is satoshi or not my statement is still correct: on BSV isntant transactions work and it scales to visa levels today. Oh, and he doesn't owe you any proof.
