You can’t say there isn’t anything to it. But for sure I agree it isn’t the whole story.

Which one is that. I guess I’ve been left out of the loop.

Even without US. UK has nukes, France has nukes. You don’t need a lot to destroy Russia. Basically just two.

Nato would completely overwhelm Russia, but not before nukes would fly from various places and hit major cities in the western world. In the retaliation, all of Russia would be destroyed, world in turmoil…

You wrote down a reason why Russian bots are bad and one that is not really true. Russian bots aren’t saying just about anything. Not to mention most people wouldn’t mind if a self proclaimed Russian bot started to push for vanilla ice cream over chocolate agenda. They would “not lose sleep” over it, but then some still go out and buy some vanilla. Even if they don’t believe in marketing.

It doesn’t really matter if they are a bot or a useful idiot if they are doing the same job.

Very true.

Epic! Rotflol!

I don’t even know where to begin. Btc was distrubuted as fairly as anything else, it’s not as stable as since we have stablecoins, scarcity means nothing, it’s decentralised as much as anything else.

Must I repeat that it just exists? You can’t do anything with it. It’s like comparing a pretty rock to a computer. Today all what btc does is pollute.

No! It’s all scams and it’s a pyramid scheme! It’s pointless and bad for environment and cryptobros and it can’t work because it’s getting more expensive (literally an argument I heard).

I don’t even care if someone doesn’t like crypto, I have friends that don’t care for it, but they don’t try to rationalize it with some lame ass arguments that can be debunked by a child. I don’t understand why lemmy is full of these folks.

You mean like one with actual practical value, one you can program, do actual finance with?

You are completely missing the point. Which is normal if you had to pull stuff from Google to find a small example where in some abstract sense you might be right. Attacking me, a person you know nothing about, is weak.

Weak af.

I’m not wrong at all.

You think you are right because you found some niche situations in where your opinion is valid. But you don’t realize, your opinion is still just an opinion and this opinion is weak af.

You don’t need to imagine what I understand and what I don’t understand after our brief exchange. You have no clue who I am, so don’t try.

That doesn’t make any sense. You got nothing boy.

Bye.

If you nitpick sure. But in practice crypto is the part that makes blockchain work.

There was a trend to try to separate them many years ago, because some people believed that was the way to push the technology forward - to focus on the blockchain part and try to hide the crypto part that has a bad rep after it was abused in the media as what only criminals use. But it failed. We shouldn’t hide the crypto part, but push it forward. That strategy worked! Today we have approved bitcoin etfs which is crazy amazing! And when eth ETF is approved, then all of them will have to be. This is the way.

I have no idea why you are going to the failed arguments from almost 10 years ago.

There is no blockchain without crypto.

Omg yes, poor mentally handicapped people of crypto lol! With all their money and mathematical equations, inventions, memes,… You really shouldn’t make fun of them or they will cry so much because of you! Oh no! Please don’t make any more jpegs that uncover the worms in your brain. Please no!
