    They're making a movie where Jeff Bridges gets transported into the blockchain.

    He then smokes up and eats Cheetos.

    Think of it as a mix between Tron and The Big Lebowski.

    I'm eagerly looking forward to it.

    Internet or not, speaks a lot to your character and the message.

    Lol. My bs? So only ganja approved posts are allowed..... Right.... You've lost all credibility as a passionate intellectual and now seem like an obsessive snake oil salesmen.

    Truth hurts sometimes. I will admit, you're not such a douche to where I want bitcoin to fail.

    the truth about money and how we currently do handle it did hurt me a long time ago.. led me down the rabbit hole of "where do I go next"

    but the universe showed me the blockchain exists

    Oh, cryptocurrency is more than likely the future as the world truly modernizes when the other 3-4 billion take that step up.

    You just got butthurt when I cleared up some of your misconceptions about history. How we handle money/trade/exchange has changed quite a bit from era to era. You also got/get butthurt when anyone says anything less than positive about bitcoin, so you've outed yourself. It's cool, you're probably young and think you've got it figured out.

    I correct blatant misconceptions, and try to guide thoughts toward the yet-to-be-seen portion which people love to argue about. Now you're just trying to save face and give a 'mature' answer to look good.

    haaaaa

    Nah son. You just stamped feet around and threw a hissy fit when I showed how history actually went. Even had to resort to calling me "r****ded" in your tantrum. It was adorable how you had a little internet blow up. :grin:

    Bitcoinz is serious son!

    how did history go.. please do tell

    I believe we had a disagreement on how the gold standard didn't do much to help bank failures, and how we have had less bank failures post-Bretton Woods than before.

    I agree, we have enjoyed relative stability since then. The economy has grown leaps and bounds. This has convinced people nothing is wrong, but its all behind the curtains.

    our money is still going down in value, bitcoin is open source and superior to gold. It doesn't need to be adopted by central agencies to have an impact, but some may. Banks will use the tech to shuffle around inflated fiat. Its good for everyone.

    whether you want to exit that system is up to you. But one way or another your life is going to be affected by the blockchain secured by 'super srs bitcoinz'
