Your high time preference nigger narratives failed years ago. Out of cope your ignore the reality of bitcoin's continued success and will stay poor, instead of harming your ego in admitting you were wrong.

There's nothing wrong at all with 2nd layer solutions to scaling. You listened to total faggots like Roger Ver who whined about wanting bitcoin to become highly spendable NOW for the sake of allowing Africans to buy coffee. It's amazing you have no idea how fucking stupid and gay that narrative is, and ramble on about how bitcoin is no longer bitcoin because we didn't let retards muck with the security parameter of block size in order to come up with an immediate but shitty solution to scaling. If we let the decentralization of the network be compromised by such high-time preference / short term foolish thinking bitcoin would not now be enjoying institutional adoption. It would be languishing like bcash and shitoshi vision.

Just rage quit crypto already loser. You are not relevant.

Ray Dillinger was the first ever Bitcoin critic. He did an initial code/security review on the cryptography mailing list, then he dismissed Bitcoin as a "ponzi scam":
http://dillingers.com/blog/2013/08/26/an-investment-with-an-absolutely-appalling-history/
He claims he didn't buy any BTC until 2013 when it was around $100. He was also calling it a "ponzi scam" back in 2013.

His recent email contradicts Hal Finney's 2010 vision of "Bitcoin banks" and 2nd layer scaling here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2500.msg34211#msg34211

It also contradicts Nick Szabo's early visions of 2nd layer scaling:
https://twitter.com/NickSzabo4/status/1012373493252419584?s=20

It sounds like Ray would prefer:
- big blocks to support small payments on the base layer
- a more decentralized distribution that is not held by institutions/custodians
- decentralized mining that is optimized for CPUs

XMR exists for that. BTC is still the largest gateway into XMR. BTC/XMR atomic swaps make XMR more censorship resistant. BTC has been massively successful in every sense.

not specifically because of that, but because it was genuinely its purpose, bitcoin was truly seen as a currency and everyone was genuinely working hard at encouraging various merchants to accept it as a payment option, even when small services would announce they're accepting it as a payment option it would cause a little pump in the price

for now, here is the thing about bitcoin, it's valuation will probably do an s-curve with adoption. in the beginning the demand was low and new supply incredibly high. it was a hot potato. then it became mores scarce and demand went up. but eventually demand will cap and inflation will go away. so at that point bitcoin should stabilize in value enough to be spent. and by that time comes lightning network will long be mature enough to handle the load.

so i am hopeful that eventually we won't have to cash out ever. but for now the reality is that bitcoin functions more like a perfect digital gold. and that's okay, if you want to make it this is what you want.

Wow what a reply.. I'm not reading all the pics you are spamming... Bitcoin is not for below average IQ people who care more about short term spending and just jerking themselves off about how it just so happens to be done with a cryptocurrency, than they care about saving and seeing their net worth go up dramatically.

Part of the reason bcashiers emphasized the importance of short-term spendability in their narratives so much, was that they just flat-out assumed that was the only way in which a new currency could go from zero adoption to global adoption and everyday use. It was a blind belief, that has obviously been deboonked by history at this point. People buy into bitcoin not wanting to spend it, so the bcashier ignorant belief that spending is how it must increase its adoption goes against near universal market preference to hold onto an appreciating currency. Even bcashiers themselves preferred to hold onto rather than spend their bcash in expectation it would go up in value, so their own retarded theory conflicted with their preferences...

Bcashiers were even so stupid to believe in the newfag narrative that the only function of money is spending it, so if it's not being spent it's "not being used". History blew you the fuck out, and actual knowledge of monetary economics blows you the fuck out.

>> No.25352341

the purpose of the supply curve is to introduce scarcity and encourage bitcoin to scale into the use of its eight decimal points, that was again the clear intention back then when it came to its use as a currency; people aren't meant to hold hundreds of full coins in the future, people are meant to find use in its decimals
>>25352163
there are some neat blockchains that are overlooked still that don't focus on price and instead focus on community, i think we'll slowly start to see more of them in the future as the competition for usecase in alts becomes more evident in regards to survival against btc dominance, most alts aren't just bleeding because btc is going up, but because they're utterly useless and overvalued

Your midwit interpretation of Satoshi's whitepaper and insistence that interpretation must be locked in place forever as something to be worshipped is what is incredibly low-IQ. It's a money not a religion, Satoshi himself never said he was infallible and he was influenced by others in ways that trigger the bcashier narrative.

Bitcoin is still on its path to becoming a global currency by the way, which it can still very well do after becoming a universally agreed upon SOV and with the help of 2nd layer scaling solutions.

You had a certain theory that its path to global money could only take place by forcing people to use it for everyday spending early on and sort of jump-starting that network effect.. You do realize that's just a fucking theory though, and one that goes against human nature to want to save something that inevitably would appreciate in value tremendously as adoption increases? No you don't realize shit. You spend your bcash on plastic junk and pizza, it's immediately getting dumped it's not jumpstarting a network effect or convincing people of its value beyond the fact they can immediately liquidate it for fiat.

The sign of a shitcoiner is they sperg about how something isn't a currency unless people go against their own interests and spend it to consooomm.. You're drive to consoom via crypto hasn't and isn't going to increase its adoption. Hence why bcash and shitoshi vision are being forgotten about and left in the dust. Your theory has observably failed.

still even in this form ln has 1 major problem right now: it locks up way too much btc in payment channels. and to solve that we need shared liquidity pools and/or multipath payment channels at least in the structural core.

You are just referencing infrastructure, that comes with adoption.

The gist is that a handful of trusted institutions are in complete control of what you are and are not allowed to do with your wealth.

Cryptocurrencies allow competition and security, you are the singular person in the universe with ownership of your assets, no one can freeze them, no one can devalue them, no one can tax them, they are yours you are the central authority. The only prerequisite is that others share your vision and the system only gains strength as the hashing and the wallets decentralize.

monero went ahead of the curve and it's adoption greatly suffered it. by pretending to be harmless and traceable bitcoin is playing it smart.

it was 90% done before satoshi even got to it. all preexisting knowledge and use cases pioneered by other projects.

satoshi did not came from a vacuum. he probably tried to make friends with rpow before he clicked in hash-cahs instead giving up the notions of "not wasting computing power and calculations" because the difficulty of that approach is too high.

he basically dumbed it all down.

>> No.25354385

>>25354311
yes the preexisting knowledge existed but not a single one of them was able to implement it, do not take credit away from satoshi, the man was a genius and in fact if adam back is to be believed he didn't even know of many of these projects until after Back redirected it to him, he didnt know of Szabo's Bitgold or Wei Dai's bmoney. if Back is speaking the truth then Satoshi is a giga genius

bollocks probably some role playing shit. the most likely is satoshi was in communication with both hal finney and nick szabo especially considering how smart contracts and scritping was not mentioned in the whitepaper but was hastily added by the first release.

could be, there is one thing that people don't seem to understand. early bitcoin devs being satoshi's friends and respecting his wishes throw chaff in the air to throw the hounds off scent willingly. many many such statements including ian griggs outbursts about craig. adam back is also always very guarded and considers what he says a lot when interviewed about satoshi. he doesn't want to blurp anything leading. these people don't want satoshi to be found. they will lie if they have to. or just to increase their own self importance.

Satoshi never planned for it to become as big as it is growing. No one could have seen it coming. Michael Saylor, with his history of science background, says that it is a revolutionary technology and has faced harsh Darwinian-like selection pressures that place it where Facebook and Apple were 10 years ago.
Face it, Zucker Sperg, when Faceberg was still a thing he ran from his bedroom, never thought that it, Faceberg, was going to become the biggest social media company that would kill MySpace etc. But it did. And that is the point here: things change and grow for the better.
