Can we all be honest ITT? Does anyone actually believe this shit is useful tech? Blockchain has been around for almost a decade and has no utility as of yet. The only people saying it's "the future" own vape pens and make under 35k/yr.
We are all in it for quick gains and that time is over.
Wyatt Morgan
U right. Time to get into the next big thing! Stocks! Right right???
Adrian Howard
And you just realised this ?
Evan Williams
what i want people to think i think: blockchain has potential, some altcoins will do well in the future and their backers will profit
what i really think: btc is the one and only blockchain needed. all other coins are shitcoins except maybe eth and ltc
altcoins will all crash and burn and btc will suck up all of the value and it will happen sooner than you think
Adam Cook

No one besides turbo autists or normans actually think internet tokens are going to replace fiat.
With that said, you'd be retarded not to get in on it. This is essentially the internet gold rush.
Cooper Jones
>he actually wrote this out and posted it
Cooper Clark
yes it's obviously very useful, currency coins like btc ltc xmr etc are nice and will likely stick around but they won't be the big blockchain revolutions. it will go a long way to streamline a lot of industries (financial, supply chains) as well as making IoT a reality
Evan Campbell
>The only people saying it's "the future" own vape pens and make under 35k/yr. Fuck. That's totally me. I was even vaping while reading this thread.
Dominic Ward
>Does anyone actually believe this shit is useful tech? It's useful for currency/money transfers, that's it though. That's why I only hold THE KING. Every other application of the tech is pretty useless and can be solved with pre-existing technology that's not blockchain.
Ayden Ward
100% agree. It's funny to watch the NEETs with their lottery ticket dreams think otherwise though.
Adrian Martinez
Meanwhile, in 1992 >Can we all be honest ITT? Does anyone actually believe this shit is useful tech? Internet has been around for almost three decades and has no utility as of yet. The only people saying it's "the future" own computers and make under 35k/yr.

FUCK YOU WAT DOES THIS CREEPY IDIOT SAY?? DOESNT EVEN NOW HOW BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY WORKS MAYBE YOU SHOULD LEARN WHAT A BITCOIN IS BEFORE YOU OPEN YOU STUPID MOUTH BANKS IS SCARED AND CRYPTO WILL BE WORTH MILLIONS IN 2019 IDIOT YOU NOW NOTHING !!!!
Jace Morales
here's my counter-question to this...
why aren't you guys actually creating stuff with the tech?
there are SDKs for some of these. Vitalik literally wants you guys to make stuff. Neo is making it easier to make stuff.
So why not make something?
Levi Carter
Actually I remember being a BBS fan when the internet was first being discovered. I tried out the various services (web, irc, gopher, archie, email, etc) and was hooked immediately. Not sure why you're attempting to compare the two.
Thomas Hill
You probably weren’t born before the internet was a thing. Call it a hunch.
Mason Ward
Have fun with your shitcoins in 2025 when you still won't be able to do anything with them other than buy cheese pizza .
Benjamin Hall
>he thinks they are going to be used as a currency
i cant tell if this is just bad bait or youve literally been here less than a week lmao
Camden Jackson
nuh-uh I make 55k/yr
Nicholas Garcia
a decade? you do realize blockchain was invented in 1996 by the NSA right? They had it years before it was release under their "satoshi nakamoto" AKA central intelligence. Look all this shit up yourself if you don't belive me.

BLOCKCHAIN DOES NOT EQUAL CRYPTO CURRENCIES
LOOK UP PROJECT UBIN R3 CORDA ABM AMRO BLOCKCHAIN
BUSINESS ARE ADOPTING IT WITHOUT USING A "CURRENCY " IT JUST REDUCES FRICTION COSTS, THE UNDERLYING TECH OF DLT REQUIRES NO CURRENCY BS
Nathan Martinez
Blockchain with no pow is vaporware, but bitcoin is not
Blake Diaz
> LTC
LOL
Levi Gomez
I don't know OP. I think it's really actually so revolutionary we haven't had time for the implications to sink in yet let alone for changes to happen. I think disclosure will happen within 20 years or so, certainly within our lifetime and we'll have NationDAOs. 10 years in the public is still digesting what a "blockchain." They have yet to be prepped for smart contracts, the real bull. Think about this. Only within the last year did Ethereum have oracle functionality via Oraclize. Blockchain is still a little baby. The internet wasn't born in a night.
Charles Wright
literally this. also nice id
Cameron Peterson
OnA fan, in this thread?
Justin Cox
>The only people saying it's "the future" own vape pens and make under 35k/yr.
It's funny cause it's true.
Jackson Jenkins
Look at people like this guy. He doesn't understand the difference between a distributed ledger and a public blockchain, nor what a public blockchain means for the organization of society. It really is as huge as the invention of agriculture or the internet. Cavemen didn't just move to cities overnight. It took millenia of incremental progress. Don't expect it to happen soon, but it's coming.
Adrian Long
What the fuck is that image
Julian Rogers
no Jim and Sam fan, I posted the wrong cube
Camden Gomez
you're going to want to kill yourself in 3 years
Samuel Fisher
There are some actually legitimate uses for blockchain, e.g. SyncFab is a good attempt.
Blockchain is great for a marketplace.
Carson Kelly
Well, blockchain is a very useful technology. But adoption will take a long ass time. Not worth investing in, but as a trader, the sentiment swings are totally worth trading on the way up and on the way down.
Grayson Ramirez
Except it doesn't exist. Distributed consensus without incentivized proof of work (mining) does not exist.
Parker Price
i'm more of a chip fan, myself
Nathan Ortiz
I got into this to break the banks. That was always the goal. That's not to say bitcoin as it is now could fulfil its original promise. Maybe once second and third layer networks are built out. Or maybe ETH and things built on ETH will dominate. I'm very excited about MKR. Either way, we're just getting started. How long did it take the internet to grow into a significant force for change?
Henry Clark
you want honestly?
blockchain has huge potential and because of that bubbled up. it could fail spectacularly too.
blockchain isn't for everyone. the no coiners have every right to keep to the tried and true systems and avoid large speculation risks, and the coiners have every right to take those risks and try to disrupt the market. that's capitalism. coiners and no coiners have no reason to hate each other, we could all get along if we really tried.
Austin Sullivan
I'm with Sergey. Smart contracts are the next SaaS sized revolution. Absolutely world changing.
Ian Russell
Blockchain is revolutionary. There were people back in the early 90s saying the internet was a fad, hyped, wouldn't be used. That's you now. Oracle, you know the boring ass tech company, themselves are predicting 10% of the worlds GDP will be on the blockchain in 2025. That could be over $20T marketcap then. And that's conservative. In the near term, even a small bit of the $80T equity pie would send crypto skyrocketing. Again. How is there so much potential you think? Because idiots who can't think outside the box, or can't see change, doubt it will happen. If you are type of cuck who has a savings account which bleeds more in inflation than it accrues in interest, you are type of person that will be funding the lavish lifestyles of crypto rich, the smart money who are investing in crypto now as the greatest transfer of wealth in modern history leaves you behind.
Jacob Powell
oppie was a raging faggot and anthony was funny but an insanely butthurt manchild, jimmy was the entire show, the fact his name wasnt on it is a crime
Jaxson White
Maybe it's this. The internet was a neat idea in its early days, but it didn't become the internet as we know it until people started building on top of the internet infrastructure. It's easy for some to say that blockchain won't go anywhere just because we haven't stretched the creative boundaries of the possible applications. I'm just talking out of my ass, but as an oldfag, I didn't expect stuff like Twitch and Facebook and Amazon when the internet was just first starting to catch on.
Luis Green
fuck me you are delusional. Is katy perry smart money? snoop dogg? my grandma? smart money phase is over. There are still gains to be had, but this "wealth transfer" nonsense needs to die, the distribution of wealth in bitcoin is even worse than fiat for fucks sake, please chill
Dominic Nguyen
Like seriously the show has been cancelled for years now right? Don't tell me there's some sort of O&A shitcoin.
Dominic Barnes
I genuinely think they are comparable. Arpanet was conceptualised in 1963, and the internet was a weird niche for autistic scholars until the mid-nineties. For blockchain technologies, we ought to think about what it CAN be, not necessarily what it is right now. Hopefully, it will develop way faster.
Nolan Flores
I hold so don't take this as a slam, but we've had all the tech that is able to implement these types of networks for awhile. the only thing blockchain did differently was solve the double spending problem with electronic currency. That IS is a big deal, which has made bitcoin prices soar, but honestly the rest of the utility that the blockchain brings was solved awhile ago.
Ayden Anderson
Replacing centrally emitted currencies would already be huge. And smart contracts have the potential to unleash an unprecedented wave of disruption everywhere we rely on middlemen for trust issues. What do you have in mind specifically when you say that the utility that the blockchain brings was solved a while ago
Luis Williams
Forgot the “?”
Gavin Gonzalez
>but we've had all the tech that is able to implement these types of networks for awhile.
ok so why aren't they being used?
Levi Smith
There is a saying about the South Sea bubble: That the only Englishmen who knew the value of South Sea trade were pirates.
This saying is applicable to #Bitcoin . The only people who understand $BTC 's value are blackhats. Modern day pirates. The only true freemen.
Andrew Lewis
I feel like a broken record, but if you guys can't explain how blockchain can work without an incentivized proof of work scheme, you might as well be telling me about how teleporters are the next big thing. I don't think you understand how the critical innovation in cryptocurrency blockchain can only apply to crypto currency. You are being hyped on vaporware. We are repeating mistakes.
Logan Wright
let me guess, you make 35k a year. sorry you're so poor bro, maybe if you actually do some research on blockchain tech you won't be poor forever, gl.
Samuel Morgan
My vape pen is on the blockchain.
Brayden Young
its the chainlink cube. Jesus christ how new are you
Colton Miller
>what is staking
Kevin Foster
It is perfectly suited to assurance and record keeping tasks. However a token/coin/mining economy is not needed whatsoever.
IPO's for blockchain tech startups will be the next big thing, when it is universally accepted that token economies are pointless and harmful for enterprise applications.
Ayden Walker
not doing it in a decentralized trustless way. Something like the DAO was impossible to do before blockchain. I don't think you understand the implications of the blockchain desu
Dylan Kelly
>proof of stake >proof of credit
Henry Rivera
Oh and currency use is a meme. Fiat will simply be tokenized and launched on something like hashgraph. There will be a new "fed" that controls tokenized fiat. You wont be able to own any of that stock or a part of the underlying tech.
Landon Torres

Blockchain is a great technology, it will be big in a couple years, but all those stupid coins like TRX which doesn’t have a purpose will die.
Julian Gonzalez
but what if /vape/ and make $50k a year?
Jose Watson
Blockchain paired with AI will eliminate more than 50% of the jobs in the financial sector. The internet changed communication, blockchain will change the financial world.
Jackson Davis
Your picture is very appropriate, sorry I don’t have an extra chromosome to spare.
Zachary Martin
How useful is a worldwide public bookkeeping software secured by a distributed network of chinese miners. I don't know. But not 120 Billion.
Robert Flores

Joseph Roberts
No it's not it says opie and anthony on it. Are they related some way or is it just random?
Lucas Butler
I said nothing about it being fair. Obviously you no coiners will be the losers.
Landon Allen
I use a credit card for everything and pay it off timely. Literally nothing is easier. No one cares about decentralization and blockchain can be centralized and will be centralized to track every faucet of your life in the future.
If this was real in any sense, why don't they just start blockchain/smart contract companies. Why does Ethereum have to be a currency. Even still this is a fast moving market and it's exposed to becoming outdated by other inventions in tech. It's hard to see now but try grasping how a blockchain would get as big as it did in 2001. I live in constant fear that I'll lose everything and be the biggest laughing stock of the century.
Elijah Rodriguez
Anthony's Compound Media is Purdy good especially his show with Arty it's worth the subscription but I also like Sam and Jim. Jim carries the show fuck let em in Sam Sammy shit farts etc.
Connor Nguyen
>I live in constant fear that I'll lose everything and be the biggest laughing stock of the century. you have no business investing
Christopher Peterson
Not really constant fear I guess but you are likely right.
Christian Clark
What the fuck are you talking about. Do you think the blockchain is merely some payment system like a credit card? At least do a single google search.
You sound like grandma in 2000. Why would I need the internet? I just sent messages in the mail. Internet has no point. Why does email have to be a computer? You sound like a moron.
Colton Johnson
Threads like this are why I wish BTC would fall another 50%
