It's awesome to hear you're doing well in crypto trading and researching the fundamentals of different cryptos. I totally get it when people ask for quick answers without doing their homework – it can be frustrating. And yeah, there are scams out there, but that's true for any market. By the way, I'm a CS grad too, so I appreciate the tech side of it. Though I gotta say, cryptotrading can be pretty risky nowadays. That's why I've been using Quantum AI, an AI trading tool that's been helping me navigate this volatile market more confidently.

Hey @Jayy, your approach to Bitcoin is interesting—buy and forget about it for the long term. It's true; cryptocurrencies can be a bit of a gamble, and their value can fluctuate wildly. Your perspective as a gambler in the gambling industry adds a unique angle to it.
Speaking of gambling and making money, there's a growing trend of real cashout games, where you can play games for real money rewards. It's a bit different from the crypto world but offers its own thrill and potential earnings. If you're ever in the mood for some gaming action with a chance to win cash, you might want to explore these types of games.

I recommend Bitcoin casino jackpot because they represent a modern and exciting way to gamble. Firstly, with Bitcoin, transactions are fast and secure, adding convenience. Secondly, the jackpots in Bitcoin casinos can be huge, offering a chance for a significant win. And of course, playing in such a casino puts you at the forefront of technology and trends. It's not just gambling; it's an experience that combines entertainment with the opportunity to be part of the new era of digital finance.

I've been trying to understand BitCoin on and off over the years. Technically I understand it, wearing my well-worn software developer hat, but economically...

Correct me if I'm wrong but BTC represents real work in that it takes computing power to mine. It represents a something However, unlike like gold or oil it is in no way convertible - you cannot get back the work put into making it or anything equivalent.

To my mind BTC represents something halfway between fiat currency - pure faith - and commodities and company stocks

Anything that is not a commodity (fuel, food, raw materials...) or a service and is being publicly traded is a game of trust, incl. the fiat money.

I take this piece of cloth (a banknote) and exchange it for goods with someone who trusts me that the piece of cloth I give him can be by him then exchanged again for something else. Or, I lend you this amount of zeros and ones representing the said cloth if you promise to return more of those in stipulated time.

There's a fucking big difference between beleiving in a sky fairy despite having no evidence that one exists and formally agreeing with another entity that you will do something if they do something.

You really are off with the fairies.

Break a contract with one entity, no other entity will enter into a contract with you.

That's the power of the contract. It has nothing to do with faith.

Now, what you, Easy-X, wonder about is a philosophical question given to every single law student. Where do the morality, honesty, laws... come from?

I say it's good old violence and/or public defamation. An outside mediator is a social construct created to give things order and to speed things up for greater good. A social contract if you will. I mean, laws are nothing else but a bunch of social contracts.

As for the question of faith, I'm Czech, we don't believe in any of that.

I can't go through the courts to make God listen to prayers, but I can do that with a contract.

Jeez, what is wrong with you?

Lol. I'm not sure where philosophy or metaphysics come into any of it, other than as descriptors of the behaviour of self-aware entities. Gotta have labels for shit, right?

We still use the oath in courtrooms, which is just the old label for contract. Contract with the court to tell the whole truth etc or there will be a penalty. You don't have to swear it of course, but then your 'currency' loses value.

Gold is a physical thing and thus has more value than a completely non-physical crypto but both will be valueless in an apocalypse (nobody will sell you a can of beans for gold).

Crypto...putting dollar value on a product of pure imagination, coz hoomans.
