Sorry all I got out was "I'm a butthurt and don't even understand Bitcoin".

Ruby could really use optional typing, like what PHP and Clojure have.

Demand != number of people. For example, you can get twice the demand from the same number of people if they decide to invest more.

Or maybe it's you the one who can't read it properly? Else explain to me what he meant by this: "PHP made it very easy for a lot of people to do something with the web, something that otherwise they might not have been able

The same happens with everything, some people just choose to be ignorant. Another good example of this is the irrational hate Bitcoin gets.

That's not what he's saying. He's basically saying that it's 0K to use PHP if you can't use anything else because you are not smart enough. And you won't even achieve great things, you will barely be able to

I want to add that we actually get cancer all the time (like, every day), but our bodies kill it successfully. That's why people with AIDS or bad nutrition get more cancer: they are not able to fight it anymore.

One is a derivative or subcomponent of the other I think. Someone who still remembers his Chemistry class is welcome to elaborate.

Unintentionally. It was a bug, but now dogecoiners are claiming it was designed that way by geniuses, like they always do.

What do you mean "liquid"? I hear this a lot from Americans, who don't understand the concept of decimals and units based on powers of ten.

Dogecoiners will try to stay afloat with whatever "feature" they can come up with, even if it's the result of a bug.

Those weren't the original rules. Their development team made a mistake and the inflation problem was introduced. Bitcoiners warned them about this, they didn't listen.

A dogecoin joke? Are you serious? Bitcoiners have been screaming to the moon for years. But now it's doge's joke? Is there anything else you want to copy without improvement?

It's not incredibly elegant, it's just dumb. Would you say Infinitecoin was genius too? And it's mostly just an American problem (no wonder it exploded in Reddit, where the majority are American), since you guys are taught to

Micro-payments were not enabled by the cryptocurrency itself. They were enabled by the bitcointip bot (or doge or whatever), since they are off the blockchain, so nothing special was needed for this, just your usual centralized system. And

If you are talking solely about Reddit tips, the reason you see more Doge is because the bitcointip bot has been banned from basically every subreddit. And Bitcoin tips were worth real money, not imaginary points (the usual tip is 20 doge.

It's funny how each new copycoin tries to compare itself with Bitcoin, and assume Bitcoin will become a thing of the past. Every single copycoin does the same. Both Litecoin and Dogecoin users said "Bitcoin paved the way for Litec

No, that's due to web devs tying the functionality of the website to tracking services. I don't remember the last website that didn't have any tracking services, most of them have many. But that alone doesn't break the J

"The idea such a thing as bitcoin, from an anonymous dev, somehow reaching $1,000 each is "absurd"" That's not absurd at all. Might be absurd to you if you are absurd though or not good at Math, like lots of other h

Lybia, Iran and Iraq. This topic comes up every day, and every day someone who doesn't know history will show "skepticism". I don't have a copy/pasteable text in hand, and I'm not gonna write one from scratch.
