Anyone else not know anyone else who is into cryptocurrencies outside of the internet? I'd say less than 0.1% of people in the west actually invest in them, roughly going by what I see.

Communities like /biz/ and bitcointalk are still "underground" on the broader scale of things. I love being one of the first in :^)

I hope the price will skyrocket when people finally realize that crypto is the future.

Not sure how into it they are but I've heard some colleagues and relatives talk about btc and dogecoin lol.

im a pharmacist Kroger (eastern united states grocery store chain) and i've actually met 5 other pharmacists who are investing in crypto, one of them since 2014.
It's not many but i was just surprised when i found out these people have a group chat dedicated to crypto, now we all discuss.

Most responses I get in RL about crypto are

> It's just air, 0's and 1's. I need something real.
(whatever that means)
> They only use it for CP and drugs, I ain't touching that crypto.

Crypto is the start of removing all cash, it's the future indeed. This way your overlords can see every penny you'll spend. The wallet microchip is real and it will be coming our way within the next 10-20 years.

these kikes can barely track fiat you think they can keep track of billions of people using Monero?

Is not crypto the future of offshore banking?
Cash to crypto transactions are anonymous, and once more and more parts of the market accept any form of crypto as payment you can basically evade paying any taxes.

I just read a NYT piece about millenials using crypto as their 401k so it can't be that uncommon.

Machine learning allows cars to drive itself up to 200mph.

Keeping track of transactions seems trivial compared to that.

It's about the technology, btc is easily tracked. There are only a few private coins and for every electronic system, there's a way to backtrack it.

The same happend with those magical PGP phones which were 'uncrackable' but now it appears they can be cracked.

Same with that Iphone story, where the FBI took weeks to crack it but once they cracked it, all other Iphones were cracked within a day.

It's a cat and mouse game and we're on the 'weak' end of that spectrum.

>>2960105
What makes you think the eternal kike can't track fiat? Once it gets put back in the system, there's always a trail and if there isn't one, the Kings will have a good reason to strip you of your belongings.

I've heard the IT managers at my office talking about btc and block chain tech. Whenever I ask non tech related people they just say they've heard about it but get really confused or think it's stocks.

>The post you replied to was about Monero

Monero is not btc, and even if they figure out how to track it, your comparison is still complete shit.
