minus-squareCaliforniaSoberlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down4·3 months agoThis is not worth it. You’re asking me to explain why bitcoin supporters would support bitcoin? I get it! You call the world a fiat printing bs machine. Im sorry im not directly refuting that. All in due time. In the next five minutes are you okay with tostadas while the man dives from a cave? Why are you so upset?
minus-squarenull@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·edit-23 months ago This is not worth it. And yet you keep engaging, despite not even being the person I replied to in the first place. You’re asking me to explain why bitcoin supporters would support bitcoin? Of course not. Let me spell it out for you again: The person I replied to tried to use bitcoin supporters complaining about the Fed creating money as a gotcha. I explained how that doesn’t land because: supporters of Bitcoin, which has a fixed supply, would obviously be critical of printing off more of a fiat currency. Then you called it bullshit, but have been incapable of explaining why that is. Instead choosing to shadow-box with made up arguments.
minus-squareCaliforniaSoberlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down2·edit-23 months agoSo you’re saying that you do not prescribe to bitcoins approach? You believe that it’s all bullshit and are not saying the whole world’s financial systems are about to topple on a whim?
minus-squarenull@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·3 months agoSo just shadow-boxing it is then. Carry on.
