the hyperbole of bitcoin enthusiasts have definitely not helped it gain wider acceptance, but I don't think we're seeing the last gasps of bitcoin just yet

bitcoin was dead before it launched, i mean even if the protocol is somehow useful, which i doubt, it wont be like actual bitcoin thats successful itll be something else thats part of some much better thought out system than this weird pseudo mining commodity bs

at least the acquisition of gold is based on your labor and physical property rights you've acquired, or the labor you hired and the property rights you've acquired, or the labor you enslaved and the property rights you've acquired. bitmining is just how many apus you have and how much carbon you can burn. some weak shit, real men wanna see labor and physical property put to work.

Why would you want the coins when it's the tickets that serve as currency to buy goods and toys with.

The Japanese pronunciation of "Gox" sounds quite similar to an extremely vulgar phrase meaning "gulping down shit". Just putting that out there for y'all.

the tokens (btc) get exchanged in the games (deep web) for the tickets (fiat dollars)
― am0n, Thursday, 6 March 2014 18:09 (ten years ago) link
Each token is not worth the same amount of tickets though, depending upon your skill level at skee-ball.
this is where bit¢oin dealers will compete, in exchange rate/level-ups/plastic alligators.
― pplains, Thursday, 6 March 2014 18:29 (ten years ago) link
exactly bitcoin mining is pretty much skee-ball
