bitcoin is the cia do yr research

I’m hearing from a few people with bitcoins (yes, plural) and other cryptocurrencies that mining is no longer where the money is

The article seems to be conflating mining cryptcurrencies with all cryptocurrencies

Tempted to either:

1. Buy a tonne of different cheap cryptoc and risk gaining/losing a bit with whichever increases/decreases in value

2. Buy ethereum

3. Buy ripple

Just imagine the run when this shit is revealed to be nothing.

It's been fun to see how my dad suddenly got sucked up into cryptocurrency. I've only seen him like this 25 years ago when stocks suddenly drew his attention in a mad way. He's got Ethereum now and knows more about blockchains etc than I do. He feels so fucking cutting edge lol.

Eth is so ‘16

Sorry for bumping though
This thread deserves to die

I take this as another form of gambling which i tend not to do but meh a couple thousand is like a trip to vegas

Ok except is Vegas is leagues more fun than this shit

Been to Vegas enough times to have gotten bored of it tbh

Like put a grand on a sports book with results in 2 hours and go for a stoned drive down LV blvd

So sorry !

the real move is to start an exchange then steal everyones money

occurs to me that at current prices the mt gox hack may be the biggest robbery ever in the history of the world (depending on how u define robbery)

This reminds me of the days my buddy and i used to bet on horses

$450 million at the time (still prob top 10)
$14.5 trillion at todays price! lmfao

~a quarter of that was recovered but still

they said it was all stolen then found 200k btc in an old wallet

Ilxcoin when

i was gonna make ILXcoin a few years ago but couldn't get the code to compile on my machine so i gave up

ILXcoin now, is when!

(btw, my stock just jumped 74%, get ilxcoin while it's hot, oh wait we must make adjustments for the suddenly high demand for ilxcoin, please stand by)

In the future, everyone will have their own cryptocurrency for fifteen minutes.

Admittedly, I are people who is now bitter. Good call.

lmao did you notice the name on top

millenial nocoiners

i am actually intrigued by what the kodak coin might lead to for people who produce images for a living:

In an official announcement, Kodak said the cryptocurrency would underpin "an encrypted, digital ledger of rights ownership for photographers." Kodak is working with a company called WENN Digital on the initiative.

The idea is that photographers could use Kodak's forthcoming blockchain to register works, with "KODAKCoin" functioning as a medium of exchange on the platform. Users can receive payment in the cryptocurrency as well as pay for rights, according to the company.

theres also this for the lulz

I feel like the definition of the word 'currency' is a little more specific than the fashion in which it's being bandied about these days.

In other news, I'd like to introduce you all to my new cryptocurrency, Salsacoin. It's a robust yet mild salsa and it's just to die for.

does it come in extra hot

if i can get in on salsacoin when it's still valued at .0000000000000001 BTC, we can buy an ILX yacht with the profits when it's valued at .000001 BTC

didn't see the nainan / bitcoin crossover coming but in retrospect it's so obvious

obvcoin

km otm tho, kodakcoin actually sounds like it might be... a good idea?

would be nice if someone or something that wasn't a big dying company would take the lead on it, though.

someone like... dan nainan?

he has youth on his side after all

i...must admit that that i have no idea who dan nainan is, but that name sounds fake

oh boy you’re in for a treat my dude

someone at work was making a case for blockchain-style auditing on scientific experiment data storage the other day and yeah, that's actually a good use case

Blockchain as an distributed asset register and tracking tool is legitimately a good use of the tech and there’s probably far more value in that use case in the long run than as a ‘currency’. The major downside of blockchain is that time to transact is almost always going to be slower Han with a centralised data store but for the asset management use case this isn’t necessarily that much of a downside.

Karl you are going to love this guy
