That’s a risky proposition because industry giants have already tried to dethrone Steam, which could just adopt BTC once you become a threat.

Try to find cash discounts too, so you don’t subsidize other people’s credit card usage.

Just use whichever payment processor is the lesser evil to push them towards getting better.

That has another 2 degrees of freedom and could slide around a lot.

Those things can feasibly be better. I pay the delivery human with anonymous cash once I’ve got my order. The store has my stuff ready to go right now. The taxi is right here and they’re unionized.

Can’t dispute file sharing though, analog copies suck.

Technology can develop in various directions. This is exactly what it looks like when technology is developed for consumerism. Buy more now, it doesn’t need to last, stimulate the economy. Rent what you can, everything else as a service.

Great, here they go again with the materialism. 🙄

Fuck let’s just throw Biden under the bus and support higher taxes on “Biden voters” from now on.

We don’t even need a mass surveillance system. We can see where their wealth is, it’s not secret at all. They don’t even need to come forward if they don’t mind us keeping it.

How so?

Voyager too

Like which ones? Monero is the biggest one I’m aware of that has mining but no ASICs.

How is malware going to steal funds locked in escrow?

They wouldn’t? Monero is more profitable for botnets than bitcoin because it (deliberately) doesn’t require specialized hardware.

Who was talking about ransomware? Maybe I’m missing some context here.

It prevents the theft in the first place because they’d need to hack two parties instead of just one.

Do I look like I’m cool enough for that‽

Isn’t this a right wing meme about centrists, but with the text changed?

The Bitcoin side wouldn’t catch you, because that interferes with the user’s choice to hit the ground.

Yeah it’s designed for botnets instead.

Yeah I’m using this cool new Lightning cryptocurrency, check it out.
