I need more quarters

none actually. i'm afraid to approach the bitcoin machine at my nearest kroger because it's the fancy one and a lot of prying eyes that know my name are all around at all times. it's a lingering small town thing which we no longer are.
i have to get there early in the morning, which is a pain, and it has to be loose coins. i can only get loose coins from either my bank or at work where i do handle physical cash but it's all about those precious metals you know?
as principle, i'd buy bitcoin with actual coin. a sign of effort i suppose. no i'm not walking around for loose change, but it's nice to think some old homeless dude on the streets has been doing this same thing and has made something real.
>tl;dr not waiting, just nervous

it's in working theory just a place to put your money and plenty of the purchases made with crypto has tremendous return when you turn a blind eye to what actually gives it definitive liquidity. buy banana and when the apocalypse comes to its first crescendo you'll be able to afford some potassium.

I should get a job

just give us the material and an A and move on. it's 2-3 months of your life giving to the greater good. stop being some elitist professional and cut a little slack for ONCE, you uppity fucking nonce's......

XMR is already at $1.4b, ZEC has much more room for growth

Ledger is a scam, just memorize your seed phrase

Totally, lmfao. I guess all that stuff about aBFT 10k tx/s was nonsense. It's just like a totally centralized patented VC scamcoin. Imagine buying this shit

Technically Bitcoin and every other blockchain are not byzantine fault tolerant, as consensus must be definitive and blockchains are based on the probability that the work wont be undone. PoW is also subject to geographic and miner consolidation, and if a country with a concentration of miners has a giant firewall they might influence consensus. The Hashgraph is not only BFT, but is asynchronous (aBFT), which has literally never been implemented in the history of the internet. ABFT voting algorithms with strong math proofs have existed for 30 years, but the bandwidth required to send and receive so many votes and receipts made them completely impractical. Hashgraph uses hashes and digital signatures to link events (transactions) together and create a history of communication, which allows us to apply those aBFT voting algorithms virtually, without sending any votes over the internet. Hashgraph not only sets the bar for security, but does so at incredible speeds. All that's needed to be communicated is the transactions themselves, the timestamp, plus two hashes (1-2% more data) and you gossip this out, which is the fastest known way to distribute information in a network. After that, latency to consensus is under 4 seconds for 400k tx/s, depending on node proximity, bandwidth, and number of nodes. Hashgraph is literally better than anything we've ever seen and are likely to ever see in our lifetime. People can hate on the patent and I understand that, but institutions and corporations don't necessarily subscribe to the same ideology; they want stability, governance and regulatory compliance. Hedera has taken all the right steps to be fast-tracked to an ETF, leaving bitcoin in the dust. The institutional and accredited investor rounds were before the stock market dumped so Hbars are likely to be cheap. Scheduled to launch by summer

This is not /g/, we are /biz/nessmen and should only care about making money. Hedera has taken all the right steps to be fast-tracked to an ETF, leaving bitcoin in the dust

/biz/ is garbage. How do we make /biz/ great again?

I should buy more XRP
