Nobody ever mentions what crypto-currencies are actually used for apart from buying drugs and child porn on the deep web. Everybody is just trying to make a quick buck

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Augur, Monero, Golem, these have uses. These are not shitcoins.

There are no real world uses. They have no utility and in many regards they are worse than fiat or even gold. They're literally mostly used for speculation. That's their main use.

But that's good enough.

seems like cryptos are just ponzi schemes

you get in early, market it, pump and dump

literally nobody uses them for anything other than speculation

who wants to pay for meals using .0333333337 of a bitcoin

Cryptos are digital gold. They are worth something simply because people place value in them. As long as everyone here keeps shilling ETH and buying it, it will rise high. The moment we need to worry is when no one cares.

that's the thing though, nobody cares except the shills who bought

it has no real world application - and saying it is free from government regulation is ridiculous considering almost anybody could open their own crypto currency at home and shill it making it a much more fragile measurement of value

Yeah. Whats the problem? Do you not want to make money?

>implying that fiat has any more value than cryptos
>implying there is no demand for features inherent in cryptos
>implying bitcoin transactions for real goods and services are not growing every single day

Bitcoin is used in many countries with struggling financial systems. Like in India when the government removed all cash, like in the Venezuelan financial crisis. The Chinese government is deliberately lowering the value of their currency to stay competitive, so the Chinese want to maintain their wealth.

It can be hard to see the value in a financially stable country, but it is very important for the wider world. Its like gold, but gold is much harder to acquire and takes longer to sell. BTC is much easier to pay people with than gold. Its like the middle point between cash and gold.

I can pay my bills in fiat.

How sticky are prices in bitcoin? Like if I go on to the web to order a cheese pizza in bitcoin, is the other guy selling it for .5 bitcoin, or is he selling it at whatever happens to be 500$ worth of bitcoin at the moment?

today i made my first purchase using bitcoin :)

What did you buy?


...was it drugs?

Yup. Asside from the crooks taking illegal advantage (wich they alwaus will in everything.) Their fucking poker chips. Thats it. These fucking autists found a way to create something more volitike and useless then my fake americurrency. Im not even mad aside from the trillion scam pump and dimp posts shitting up my board. Need an app that filter op by words i hate. (Example :etherium, eth,) just not show up would be legit.

Ive considered developing an app jist to do it. Never even made an app...

Why dont you buy something and see for yourself?

PFFFFFFFFFFF.

Just like the $300 i have in my wallet. Litterally beter with ro wipe my ass than pay someone but "its percieved value" is $300. So i keeo it and try to hokd back the lafter and crippling fear of the near future...

it was a ledger nano s and i also actually just ordered food using bitcoin :)

Because I don't know anywhere that lets you pay in bitcoin, so I can't watch the price fluctuate in anything except relative to dollars.

HABAHABAHAHAHAHAJAHAJAJAJSJJAAJJJAJJAJJAAJJA
HAHAHAJA
WHAT???

Does the inline extension thread filter not fill your needs?

>and i also actually just ordered food using bitcoin :)


Do you live in NYC or Cali?

You can do anything with cryptos.

>Want to buy a cheeseburger
>Go to ETH/BTC wallet
>Sell some for USD
>Use USD to purchase yummy cheeseburger

Those that are not used for purposes described by OP are used to fund ISIS, the so-called moderate rebels (read 'preferred terrorists) in Syria, the US back nazis in Ukraine (who started the war there) and a host of other unsavoury mobs which are tacitly approved of by the west,

No dude, you can pay with BTC directly!

>want to buy a cheeseburger
>fumble around on your device for a bunch
>wait for the vendor to calculate the exhange rate
>authorize the payment
>wait 12 hours for confirmation so the vendor is sure you didn't pull a double spending scam on him (alternatively spend additional BTC on a transaction fee to "speed" it up to under 1 hour)
>receive a yummy cheeseburger

It's so fucking easy! Can you imagine how primitive and cumbersome paying used to be? People just exchanged some round metal plates in less than 2 seconds or swiped a card in less than 10 seconds. Dude, BTC - the future is here!!!11

they also use oil, dollars, and cell phones..

the dollar is backed by the force of the military, cryptos are backed by the shillposts of neckbeards

The point is carrying btc in a card, you just need to wait for the readers to start coming out.

Roughly about the time btc will be worth 10k

If you buy digital currency , you won't make it
