  @Pakoon said in I'm now a bitcoin consultant: Sell sell sell! Bloomberg - Are you a robot? The sheer amount of energy needed to mine Bitcoin and the prospect that governments will create more obstacles for the largest cryptocurrency point to the token losing “most of its value over time,” BCA Research Inc. said. The expense and slowness of Bitcoin transactions make it “unsuitable as a medium of exchange,” BCA Research Chief Global Strategist Peter Berezin wrote in the report released Friday. They are definitely right on the latter point and possibly the earlier but I’ve been reading this stuff myself since 2017 and it’s been going on since 2010. Ofir Beigel Bitcoin Obituaries - "Bitcoin is Dead" Declared 400+ Times Until today "Bitcoin is dead" was declared more than 350 times. This is the official source for all Bitcoin obituaries since 2010. The sad irony is that it doesn’t need to be so inefficient. Satoshi caved to pressure in the early days and added a block cap that limited the transaction throughput. It was never intended to be permanent but the project got hijacked. If it were truly uncapped then blocksizes could be up to many many megabytes, even gigabytes, (it’s been demonstrated on testnetworks and spinoff chains) and the cost of electricity would be amortized over tens or hundreds of thousands of transactions with transactions being processed quickly. Anyway, it is what is and not what it should have been so, yeah, maybe Bitcoin (BTC - the original chain) will run afoul of regulators and it definitely won’t become a common medium of exchange.

  haw haw haw yes, something is wrong with the system alright, but i think the problem might not be having the advanced classes for the smart kids. well, kurt vonnegut called it in “harrison bergeron”: THE YEAR WAS 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They weren’t only equal before God and the law. They were equal every which way. Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else. All this equality was due to the 211th, 212th, and 213th Amendments to the Constitution… 2081 Movie (Harrison Bergeron) Harrison Bergeron - Wikipedia

  It would appear that Trump can’t destroy America because he believes he is America. He’s a buffoon but sometimes he is almost correct.

  @Hog said in Soon all you whities will be as brown as me!: @Gators1 said in Soon all you whities will be as brown as me!: @Hog said in Soon all you whities will be as brown as me!: @Gators1 said in Soon all you whities will be as brown as me!: I thought the sun over Asia made you more yellowish? I’m (literally) color blind but I’ve never understood the yellow thing. Do Asian people’s skin have a yellowish tint to (non-colorblind) Western eyes? They’ve all been kinda white to dark brown depending on how much sun they get to my eyes but I’ve never been good with colors. I would explain it to you, but I can’t because I am not a racis. I did some googling and the first hits said it was a racist thing - ie whites couldn’t have “orientals” being white too so they invented “yellow” but it smelled suspiciously like PC revisionist bullshit to me so I was wondering if there actually was a noticeable yellow tint. Anybody can be yellow if they drink enough.

  @Lithu said in The OFFICIAL cooking thread: @Tazz said in The OFFICIAL cooking thread: @Blanks said in The OFFICIAL cooking thread: Franklin bbq is about as expert as it’s gets with smoking brisket. All I’ve ever done with brisket is make corned beef. My brother in law smokes it the Franklin way and it’s legit. Yeah the line forms outside his restaurant early in the morning before they open. I haven’t been there but maybe someday. I do want to buy the knife he uses. I understand they cut really well without pulling or tearing the meat. Amazon.com: Dexter Russell SG140-12SC-PCP SofGrip 12" Scalloped Roast Slicer: Cutlery Knives: Kitchen & Dining You may also buy it online for about $300. I just got a Traeger and it takes a little to get used to but so much easier when you can check your temps on yer phone. I just need one large enough to do a full pig. I’ve looked at a few pellet smokers. Let me know how much of the pellets you go through to get the job done. Better start off with a full bag

  @Blanks said in The OFFICIAL Trump Suicide Watch Thread: ABC News Supreme Court rejects Trump attempt to shield taxes from Manhattan District Attorney's Office Trump was ordered to turn over taxes and had requested a stay on the ruling. Only question I had before opening the link was when they were going to get the documents. The Manhattan District Attorney’s office expects to take possession of 8 years’ worth of the former president’s voluminous tax information as soon as possible. ASAP is meaningless. An “I dunno” by the reporter would have sufficed.
