Bitcoin is Coca-Cola, It can't be replaced by Pepsi.

The Intergalactic Quantum proof blockchain is the only thing that stands a chance

OKCash* whatever. I don't care about the coin, I just spot opportunities.

>I recall hearing about bitcoin around here and on tor around 2010/2011. I thought it was a bullshit scam that would tank. Look how that turned out.

Precisely. I remember feeling the same way fairly early on, but I think even right now is a bit analogous to that first time BTC hit $200 usd or so - people were flipping out, people were rich, it was unbelievable and our meme was really valuable. It had some ups and downs and now that $200 seems laughable compared to today's $2000.

Nobody can see the future for certain, but I (and many others here) believe that we'll some day look back at $2000 as being low compared to whatever ungodly heights this thing soars to. I've seen even academic papers suggest $20,000 in a few years (written a couple of years ago).

Did you ever bother playing around with bitcoin or cryptos? The tech itself should interest you too. What other boards do you lurk, for context?

For me the calculation is essentially:
1) crypto has a valuable purpose and actually beats the ''traditional' options (e.g. I can send money anywhere in the world with ease)
2) crypto is still a bit of a bitch to get 'in on' - most people don't know what this stuff is and it's still mostly a 4chan meme, but people are catching on
3) tech is going to make access-to-crypto a lot easier, and people will see and adopt the technology

Let's hope.

>basically impossibru to lose money in crypto.

unless you voluntarily give some of it over to the government

Had been slowly accumulating since it was worth just under 10 cents... Feeling comfy but speculative now.

I will probably keep trying to gather more of these because it seems like a steady positive and the tech is all there. All in all seems to be a very clean, well-promoted, useful technology.

All of Ethereum's upcoming buzz is going to help Golem in the short and long term for sure. I think that might even already be the cause of this recent surge.

Undiscovered and Incredible/10.

How many people here have actually made more money from a side gig/investing than their main job

Or are successfully self employed (none of that barely scrapping by garbage)
