Bitcoin

Thats the problem with Compound interest related wealth accumulation effects.

monneta.org/en/ lists some solutions.

If Bitcoin is used as an alternative currency, being part of solution number 1, then i at least have not much against it (yet its digital nature will always be problematic to me).

If Bitcoin is, however, an attempt to replace paper money, make the misuse of it anonymous, and get rid of tax payments, then bitcoin is an attempt to prevent all those solutions 1, 2, 3 and 4.

Regarding solution 2 i can recommend to read www.helmut-creutz.de/artikel.htm.

Helmut Creutz, until his recent death at the age of 94 (R.I.P.), upheld Silvio Gesell's idea of having a money that would 'rot' if it was hoarded and not put into circulation. Because money is not a value container, but a value transporter. In that context, whenever you hear "negative interest" and "taxes on possessions that are not used", you should applaud aloud. Just believe me, or read humane-wirtschaft.de/2016_03/HW_2016_03_S06-10.pdf (Sorry, German).

Despite that, Interests on interests (for example currently 20 billion euros, to be paid yearly by germany, do you know what your country pays?) are a crime and should be declared illegal for everybody, not just everybody except banks. For germany this would mean: Strike para 2 here: www.gesetze-im-internet.de/englisch_bgb/englisch_bgb.html#p0748 (such laws also exist in your country, do you know them?). For example Islamic Banks dont do that, see also my post #62 in this thread.

>Coward.
>You're afraid to visit places where the merit of your theories can be refuted or corroborated by specialists.

The problem with this, which you fail to address is that you are biased and only acknowledge those who agree with your position as being 'specialists'. There are plenty who differ, and by any standard of education or credentials you care to set. Another thing that needs to be addressed is the blatant influence that corporate agenda wields in policy and propaganda, for instance, the UN supports a depopulation agenda as outlined in agenda 21 and related programs. As already pointed out, much that passes itself as science is just this propaganda in disguise, only it looks very polished because it's very well funded, and this is laid out clearly in the documentaries I have posted. Perhaps it's not so much as cowardice on my part as practicality and inclination to speak up where I happen to frequent?

Finally, the accusation of being afraid to visit other places is speculative on your part and not relevant to the discussion. I readily accuse people of cowardice when they are engaging in or supporting the violation of another person's rights in a cowardly manner (such as when they vote), and you'll have to pardon me if I think it extremely petty to accuse me of "cowardice" even if it is presumed that I have such a fear of posting my views in some other forum (a convenient assumption when you want to deride an opponent).

100% Genuine here.

Feel free to unsubscribe to my threads and ignore my posts. I'm not familiar with that organization, and don't care to be.

>"The evidence is not lacking"
>Your evidence is not evidence, therefore no one needs to address it and that's why you should go to college.

You can't dismiss cited evidence without explaining how it's false. I mean, you can, and just did, but it is meaningless.

Give us a peer-reviewed: >paper, article, study, review, or something else that can attest to have undergone academic scrutiny.

You mean like those propaganda vaccine links you posted? I'm going to post a vaccine thread, addressing those (and the other) links in detail, and won't comment on it further in this thread as it's little related to bitcoin. I might post some other threads too, if I'm feeling particularly incessant.

Why buy bitcoin if you could start a YouTube channel and make money off it instead!

>crypto currencies are actually also fiat money, due to hardforks.

No. As Priem19 noted, bitcoin forks do not increase supply. Many people were afraid of bitcoin forks, and did not understand how that might affect the network and the price, but the protocol has been extremely well thought out. So much in fact that when you grasp how well it has been thought out, and all of the contingencies it takes care of, the ingeniousness and elegance of it is truly astounding. But forks are not a speculation at this point, we have Bitcoin Cash and other forks, and they are just copies, easily distinguishable from the real thing. My opinion is that forks of bitcoins are like altcoins, they have their role, but a much diminished role compared to bitcoin.

Bitcoin can never and will never be unseated or displaced by any fork or other competitor, regardless of how much better that competitor becomes, unless the network fails for some reason. As long as bitcoin basically works "good enough", then it will remain on top. That's because of the network effect of money, and why crypto-currency replacement of the fiat system (bitcoin won't do it alone) will be due ultimately to that system's failure.

The fundamental difference that separates fiat currency from "hard" money is the limited supply. Fiat currency is created at whim. You can fork bitcoin to your heart's content, anyone can, and people have, but that doesn't change anything about the fundamentals of (limited/reducing) supply and (growing) demand affecting bitcoin itself.

Printing money ('evil'):
you have 100 grapefruits. Someone grows another 100 grapefruits, saying "my grapefruits are as tasty as his grapefruits". Some people stop buying your grapefruits and buy his grapefruits instead.
Your grapefruits lose value.

hard fork/alternative currency ('no problem'):
you have 100 grapefruits. Someone grows 100 oranges, saying "they are as tasty as his grapefruits". Some people stop buying your grapefruits and buy his oranges instead.
Your grapefruits lose value.

Isn't it so funny That When you are both a Cryptocurrency fan and chess fan and you enter lichess forum for the first time and you find them talking about bitcoin ??? :D

And for this great chance I would love to chill Monero , My favorite coin , The one and only coin that I think is better than bitcoin
