    Aged amazingly. Even the bit about not being able to come up with a dumber name than “Deep Onion” led to the bit over the name “Monkey Jizz”. This is truly one of the timelines.

    • @Etherfallss

      So, as I said to others in this comment section, "Deep onion" seems like a dumb name only for people that don't know enough about the web.
      Nearly all deep web sites needs Tor browser to access. The logo of tor Browser is an onion, for it's a reference to the deeper layers of the internet you get access to thanks to it. One of the major use of crypto-currencies is to buy things on the deep web, using tor. So "deep onion" is nothing more than a very logical name.
      I'll give you that Monkey Jizz is a dumbfuckery that has no fucking reason to exist.

    My wife and I were in London staying in an AirBnB a few years ago now. Hosts invited us to have some wine with them before we went out for dinner, so we did. They started telling us about this cryptocurrency they'd both quit their jobs to start doing full time and how "it was going to change the world". We sat with them, asked some questions and then had to leave for our dinner reservation. As soon as we were in the lift, I turned to my wife and said "Bitconneeeeeeeeeeeeeect!" and we both pissed ourselves laughing.
    These two sounded exactly as daft and ludicrous as that guy did

      Tacet the Terror I think it’s great that he’s talking about being careful and responsible with your money, don’t buy into anything you don’t understand.
      Having said that people should really take the time to understand the technology. He made some good points but also some misinformed ones. Bitcoin is kind of like the dot com bubble, where people got in without understanding why the technology is so revolutionary, and caused a massive surge and and equally massive collapse. But look at the biggest companies in the world now, and where you would be had you held on to some of those companies stocks. You know, small companies like Google, Amazon, or Facebook.
      I think blockchain technology (the ones that are free and open) will do for finance and trade what the internet did for information, but you gotta do the research for yourselves before you invest in anything.

And it's a well-documented fact that each Bitcoin transaction consumes roughly 1.5 million times more energy than a traditional Visa transaction and that ratio will only get worse as the blockchain grows.

      Very nice and educative video i must say . From a technical point of view of crytocurrencybuffering , the RSI looks promising in favor of the bulls, as the daily RSI is at the bullish territory above 50 (after reversing earlier today). At the same time, the Stochastic RSI oscillator is about to make a bullish crossover at the oversold area. In case this happens, it might assist the market in reaching higher highs. Lots of folks will do so well in the next bull market but you shouldn't be of the mindset to only hodl, can be very dangerous. As hard as it is ƚradıภg Crypto, it sure is way more lucrative and is quite logical if you just learn & pay attention to what's going on, I’m not a pro ƚгadēг but I was lucky enough to make 120k usd btc worth since late last year following the instruct|ons and sιǫnals from results, Nathan Howes.

      Very nice and educative video i must say . From a technical point of view of crytocurrencybuffering , the RSI looks promising in favor of the bulls, as the daily RSI is at the bullish territory above 50 (after reversing earlier today). At the same time, the Stochastic RSI oscillator is about to make a bullish crossover at the oversold area. In case this happens, it might assist the market in reaching higher highs. Lots of folks will do so well in the next bull market but you shouldn't be of the mindset to only hodl, can be very dangerous.
