Yes but this is explicitly produced child pornography, and there is a difference between animated and real, especially in this context. If you can't understand that then you need help. Neither one is right but that's a real child that's being abused in those photo's.

I assume most of you shits on here have younger cousins or siblings so you should care about this. That's someone's family member who, as a child, will forever exist on the bitcoin blockchain in pornographic form and is under 5 years old.

What if that was someone who you truly cared about. How would you feel? Her photo will be traded like some pokemon card by disgusting men around the world who would love to get a chance to fuck and kill her. Its profoundly ironic to me that most on here believe in bitcoin because it will give people true freedom, but turn a blind eye to the most vicious form of abuse to ever exist. Where is that girls freedom? Who here cares about her?


How can anyone who claims to be ethical stand for that? I can't. I sold 1k worth of bitcoin at a loss because once I realized what this coin truly was, I couldn't even convince myself to wait it out until I broke even. And shame on me for even thinking that and not selling instantly, because that implicates me just as much as someone who knows but doesn't care.

What does that have to do with bitcoin tho?

>> No.12881253

>>12881167
Child Pornography was inserted into the original bitcoin blockchain at various points in the past. And because the bitcoin blockchain can never be changed, these binaries of the images will be there forever.

So this means that if some governing body, say the EU for instance, finds out that the bitcoin blockchain contains these images, there will be a concerted effort to shut down the software for good.

> but anon there's only 10,000 nodes

Ok consider the arguments as to why this is actually worse for bitcoin:

a) Major US exchanges will always comply with laws that deal with child pornography (as they should) and consider the fact that companies like Coinbase actually forked the bitcoin blockchain in the past in an effort to curb illegal activity. That means that when this paper came out, Coinbase had to have realized that they were in possession of child pornography while operating on US soil, same for others who did the same as well. You think they want to be associated with this? Doubt it. That's why they're selling on their bitcoin and not re-upping and why they aren't even bothering with SV.

b) If you live in any first world country and have the bitcoin blockchain software on your own personal computer then you too are in possession of child pornography. You are now committing the most heinous crime that exists. That should disgust and scare you.

c) Once this story finally breaks, and it will break, you'll have to explain to your family why you deal with software that facilitates the production and trading of child pornography. How can they even look at you after that? Its going to be a rough ride for people who try to defend this only because they put so much money into it.

d) Finally, there is copy writ content on their as well. All it would take would be for someone to contact a DMCA takedown agency and send them the paper. They'd launch their own investigation.

So this is shaping up to be a nice black swan

This is why you don't cash out until you officially make it, or just never cash out if you're a true crypto believer. Use stablecoins to preserve gains and accumulate more, and live like a peasant in the meantime.

>> No.12881968

never take out a 401k loan. oy vey! you'll pay yourself back in interest!!! i didn't do so bad with that but what i did do badly was with cashing out when my company changed owners instead of rolling over.

now that 9k i cashed out is gone, sunken into my old car which is no longer (totaled) and a bunch of photography gear i bought and sold. so in the end i didn't lose the money overall, maybe a grand or so, but i unplugged the overall 25k i had in the investments from a couple years ago, which could have been 35-40k now with the shit i know about mutual funds.

here I sit with a whole $950 in my new roth 401k, but at least it's growing and i'm now throwing in about 250 per paycheck.

at least it's a roth.

I wish I didn’t have to make my rent payment back in 2010 after surgery. I wish I hadn’t wiped my HDD(that had several hundred btc on it), not even thinking about those worthless btc then. I wish I hadn’t have sold my computer to make rent.
I wish that I would have held onto my btc when it was $100 a piece instead of buying graphics cards with it and mining Ltc and then iverclocked the gpus too much and fried them. I wish I had stuck with the crypto game instead of getting fed up and forgetting about it for years until I saw what it was worth.

Bro, thenI the bought them. I mined them originally. I bought them when they were going up in value at around $4-5. I then bought some graphics card using btc to purchase them. Because I was going to start mining ltc and btc.
Them being a low wage worker, living with my girlfriend and frying the cards all caught up to me and I just gave up and forgot about it up until a few years ago when it was booming. It was out of my price range then, now I just invest in the stock market and buy silver and gold
