And yet, here I am in the western world still hearing about how I need crypto.
I understand Internet access is way more prevalent in poorer places now than it was, but it's still not something to take for granted in places that largely work with physical cash. Certainly not if you're going to base your economy on such a thing.
Right, just like any stock, futures, or other assets it's generally subject to capital gains tax if it appreciates. Nothing new there, except a new thing understandably falls under that umbrella.
So, you've got people who decided to spend real money on this thing that they hope could turn into its own real money. And they have a lot to gain if it does. So they push for it. Problem is fiat currency isn't a problem for the overwhelming majority of people, myself included. There may be problems with how much of that currency they get and what they can buy with it, but the basis of that currency (crypto vs fiat vs gold standard vs whatever) doesn't really change anything for people like me. But we still have to deal with people like you trying to convince everyone else that we should use your crypto, effectively giving you our wealth for no tangible reason that we can see.
So yeah, when you would only stand to gain from this revolution you're proposing, and everyone else only stands to lose depending on when they catch the boat, you can see where it's hard to take this seriously.
I think you're severely overestimating how many people match that description.
I also noticed you never said anything about my point that early adopters stand to benefit by quite a lot if the world were to move to some kind of crypto. Do you agree that would be the case?
ACA repeal was only after a surprise vote by John McCain. Before that it was assumed to go through. I'm not so sure it won't be replaced this Congress with "concepts of a plan"
And maybe, just maybe this is a solution in search of a problem for 99% of people and you crypto bros are grossly overestimating how useful this stuff really is. When the world runs on the dollar (or whatever your local currency is), you either need to convert to/from your so-called money to what the rest of the world is using, or you can bet that they're immediately doing it for you on the other side.
I'm sure this will all be equally convincing to get your average people to replace their existing bank account with that
I'm sure this will all be very convincing to get your average people to replace their existing bank account with that
Even if it does stabilize/is stable enough that the world shifts to it, what an interesting factoid that early adopters (who were lucky enough to pick the "right" crypto) would stand to benefit more than others.
Sheesh. At least you stopped shilling this crap on gonewild
So simple I can have my father-in-law do it. And support him over the phone from a few states away. Simple.
I would imagine someone has a file on Tulsi that she wouldn't want to get out. Things are not going great for Hegseth either. Unfortunately I think our physical education curriculum will be disproportionately based on wrestling and CMS will be run by a TV doctor
That does seem like a pretty good unit for the money as well. I'm just not sure my receiver has been good enough to stick to the brand, but I guess I'm not sure it isn't, either. One worthless advantage is that my speakers are Onkyo, so at least they'd match!
All this conversation and still no reason that crypto would benefit me and other typical people in the western world.
But we seem to agree it would benefit you, likely also in the western world, if I and others like me were to adopt it. Funny that.
