is this the future of crypto?

>> No.5246220

no, the future of crypto is one where cash is illegal and every purchase you make is monitored by artificial intelligence. how much you pay for things tied into your social credit score, also on the blockchain, and effected by your comments online and who you are friends with. fucking fluttershy will be the last of your concerns, but you can't complain, literally can't afford to. thats the future of crypto, a giant boot stamping humanities face into the ground for eternity. you won't even be allowed to keep the lambo because it doesn't drive itself and we can't have humans driving cars lol, you just tell the robot car where you want to go and if the government says yes the car will be allowed to take you there.

Moar boar demands moar. I kekt

On a hilarious side note that shits on your story, albeit a good story.

Australia is in January getting 1200 bitcoin atms rolled out. 300 going overseas. I got coins in the ico for this company and holy dick balls its going to make some cheddar. The coins are used to facilitate the transactions.

Suck a dick if you got cripple thinking that was going to actually work. Entrepeanurs will blast most of the bullshit coins out of the water by actually physically implementing their own coins in day to day use.

desu the real flippening is when business all have their own tokens that are basically better gift cards.

centralized shitcoins stay stable with fiat to avoid sec sending them to jail and neets can just trade btc for gift coin tokens to buy groceries

only thing you'll need usd for is rent, utilities, gas, and taxes. When consumerist goods no longer require fiat... this is gonna be good.
