I read about that government cheese recently, quite interesting. Then we're called socialists !

Here is a good one, with the famous socialist Reagan :




Miners alone don't control bitcoin, but without miners' support, it's doesn't work either. Since we were talking about a fork to change POW.

I googled your sentence and found this page that is quite well made : https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bitcoin_is_not_ruled_by_miners

What you say is indeed true on the face of it, a bit of what I said is, too, it's mentioned that maybe 10 people control more than half the hashrate, I'll continue to find that scary.

The argument is made in the link that if miners don't behave, a change in POW can be made, through a fork, so it loops back to what we were talking about. The idea isn't developed but I understood it to say POW would be kept, but the algorithm changed to render current hardware miners useless. So trying to cut current miners out. I'm sure you will say that such a fork wouldn't work and I would agree, it follows that miners do have considerable power.

Seriously.  What are you mad about?  You come in here and beg for free money, and then play the victim when you don't find anyone willing to give you the 3.69 bitcoin you are asking for.

Do you know how long it takes the average person to earn that much value?  Really.  I am asking you that question.  Because I would think most people could figure that out fairly easily.  But since you do not seem to be in that boat, let's do it together.

Let's say you make 70k USD a year.  Pretty good scratch if you average it out around the world.  That's the benefit of the doubt for most folks here...  Some might make more... some less.

But what you have been asking for for YEARS at this point??  is CURRENTLY worth: $155485.53 

MORE THAN TWO YEARS OF A PERSONS LABOR  And for some it could be much more.  And that's not even considering taxes and living expenses.  It would take the average person earning that living with a family 3-10 years to save that much money. But you come in here... and think repeatedly asking for enough money to buy a really nice house many places in the world is OK, and that when we get annoyed by the constant bullshit we are somehow greedy bastards.  That the "community" is terrible because they will not give you free money?

Seriously... this is so arrogant and selfish.  How about you get to work and start saving some bitcoin.  When you first came here to start begging you could have bought what you are asking for for less than the current value of ONE Bitcoin.

I have huge medical bills for a family member right now.  How about you help me pay for that.  I am going to need more than 3.69 bitcoin though.  You ever see me asking for people to do that here?  No.  Because I have pride, and honor and will try to provide for my family.  I might not make it.  I might have to ask for help.  But I am going to fight all the way to the end of that battle.

You know... why am I trying to talk sense to you...

Fuck off.

Well I would like the Founder of the shitcoin eth to personally send me 2 eth coins.

No more no less.
I would also like him to offer me an apology about those two coins.

But I consider it less likely for that to happen then someone sending you the 3.69 btc

Proves my point as I know you would give him the coin.

😜😊

There would be NO 'middle class' in a situation that resembles "Soylent Green".

Do I seriously think that we are going there?
Hopefully, not, but the food availability implications of the current war are a bit unnerving.
