so you consider that someone may be reading and possibly modifying data on any computer/phone you own, okay
> It's one of the reasons I've been very down on cryptocurrencies in general
but you are willing to have form of money that is only accessible via said computer/phone that someone can read and use as if he was you?
how does it work? how's this not a contradiction?
- normie3000 2y agoAre you interpreting "down on cryptocurrencies" to mean "in favour of cryptocurrencies"? I think GP meant the opposite.
- Thorrez 2y agoIt's confusing how "I'm down for that" has an opposite meaning from "I'm down on that".
- pontifier 2y agoI considered saying bearish. Maybe I could have been clearer. I have a low opinion about the usefulness of cryptocurrencies because true security is so difficult. It's basically impossible, even if you don't make any mistakes. I really enjoy this kind of stuff, and loved reading about the z-cash ceremony. I'm not going to those lengths to protect my secrets, so I feel it's better if I don't hold a lot of wealth in such a fragile way. I used to like it, but now I don't. It's still neat, but it's too prone to costly mistakes.

- normie3000 2y agoSo bearish is negative? What about hawkish?
- Thorrez 2y agoBullish and bearish are common stock market terms[1] meaning optimistic and pessimistic. Hawkish means advocating war, which doesn't clearly align with optimistic or pessimistic.

- NooneAtAll3 2y agoI'd just say "I'm against" not everyone is a stock marketeer - I personally keep reading bullish as derived from a bully - something clearly negative
- normie3000 2y agoAnd the same meaning as "I'm up for that".
