For those who have been using Bitcoin for years now it's completely fascinating that people still doubt a technology like this that's seen _so many_ ups and downs and yet it just refuses to die. It stubbornly refuses to fail despite everyone's best wishes that it inevitably should.
- sanswork 12y agoIt is possible it refuses to fail because a lot of people are heavily invested in it financially and monetarily and are still able to artificially prop it up. Support like that cannot last for ever.
- vibragiel 12y agoSee, continuous ups and downs may be seen as kind of a failure.
- anigbrowl 12y agoThe 419 scam has been running for over a century, but that doesn't make it a good model for wealth redistribution. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/419_scams http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/419_scams
- laichzeit0 12y agoI don't think it's meant as a model of wealth redistribution. I personally just like the fact that Bitcoin allows me to pay for things in a one-time sort of way. For example, paying for pornography would be brilliant. I don't want something as edgy as that linked to my physical address or credit card in any way.
