    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
      @Etherfallss 10 месяцев назад

      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

I remember being up over 100% when this video aired and I sold them all for over 50k couple of years ago. I prettying much made 800k after paying taxes on a 10k investment and bought a house that I am renting out.

      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.

      @@jessefehr7249 That's a misleading comparison. You should be comparing Bitcoin processing to a similar transaction processor like Visa since that's what it is trying to replace. 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. Ever wondered why no one has ever implemented distributed linked lists to record data?? Because it is quite literally the most inefficient way of storing data. Bitcoiner's don't care that they are burning the world so long as they make a few bucks off it.

      Also, Sudoku is a math and logic puzzle. It may not be on the same complexity you would get with other math puzzles.
      And yes the metaphor is accurate. Or in a less abstraction
      Imagine if you left your computer on all day that produces and ‘prints’ solved math problems that you can trade for anything that has also been agreed to have value.
      In this case, the completed math problem is like doing a ledger in finance and can be pretty liquid. Crypto trades for crypto quite easily and only some cryptocoins have addressed to even add the financial markets into this bubble.
      But bitcoin can go for anything in the 1500 list, generally.
      Pretty sure I am throwing in more economics and finance into this but yeah the metaphor is spot on.
