They messed up by hosting it here at the Music City Center
20,000 attendees plus for the Bitcoin conference
They won't have enough capacity to fit all of them in when Trump speaks
Only 8,000 people will get to see it it live
Others will have to see it small rooms surrounding the main conference room lmao
Across the street is the Bridgestone Arena that has a capacity of almost 20k lmao
There is an event on Saturday at the Bridgestone Arena but it is Hootie and the Blowfish and they perform at 7
Trump speaks at 2 on Saturday, make it make sense

I just got here and have to explore more of the city. I have a few days
I have walked around some of the popular areas and cultural centers Museums, historic landmarks, parks, restaurants, bars, clubs, BBQ joints etc
A lot of the tourist traps
I would rate the bitches as mid overall.
I'm not a simp
I imagine that the country music/ country girl act is a persona and costume for many of them and not based in reality
Makes sense, women are notorious fakers, plastic and caked on makeup airheads
I would say they are younger for the most part and have a healthier BMI than the majority of the South
Small growing city and economic hub
They call Nashville the Athens of the South
There is a literal Parthenon replica down here
Vanderbilt is a pretty good school located in Nashville
Some other local colleges as well
Obesity is crazy. The airport was full of blobs
Some of these people only drink soda and eat fried chicken and processed food all day, sad, cico

very wrong here, you don't have to be a genius to understand number will go up but actually understanding the implications of bitcoin is far more extensive and I'd say comfortably sub .1% of bitcoiners get it, and those that do generally don't talk about it openly.

if you dont get how within 1-200 years we will have city state monarchies and corpo-states based on bitcoin ownership you don't get it...

who claims otherwise? snowden exposed backdoors in a closed source implementation of an algorithm that's not used in btc in any way. BTC code is open source, so a backdoor would be in plain sight for everyone to see.

you understand those 2 things can't be true at the same time, do you? the code you see in the public repository is the same that all the miners run - because you have to run that exact code to become a miner
if you run a different version of it, it doesn't work
there can't be hidden parts by definition
do you understand this concept or not?
>>
>they promised there is no backdoor dude just accept their promises dude
No thanks
>>
>>58786855
>they promised
no that's not necessary if the code is open source
you don't have to trust the publisher or their intentions if you can just read the code yourself because it's public
>just accept their promises dude
no one does, that's why people directly check the code
a open source code removes the necessity to trust the publisher, because you can just read the code yourself
do you understand this concept or not?
>>
>people* checked it
>fact checkers
Do you think the nsa has your best inentions in mind when it comes to the nature of wealth confiscation?
>>
>>58786879
>fact checkers
anyone can read the code, even you if you study enough
if you don't trust it you can just see it for yourself
moreover, cs people are obviously incentivized to find a vulnerability, because if they do they become rich by exploting it
it's pretty safe to assume that tons of hackers study the code very often, trying to find a vulnerability or any way to break it
a backdoor would be very easy and quick to spot, since the code is public and open source
do you understand this concept or not?
>Do you think the nsa has your best inentions
no one cares about the intentions of the publisher if the code is ok
if you talking about the nsa then you are talking about sha-256 and not btc in general, which makes it even more comical
if the nsa says 2+2=4 you stop believing that as well?
>>
>the nsa said 2+2=4 guys so that means there are no backdoors, the nsa doesnt lie
Youve been btfo future resident of gitmo
>>
>>58786902
>so that means there are no backdoors
if there is backdoor and the code is open source then anyone can spot it
btc code is surely constantly analyzed all the time, by people trying to break it since there's a lot of money involved
> the nsa doesnt lie
the nsa can lie all the time, but the code cannot. You can just read it for yourself, anyone can.
Do you understand this concept or not?

>cant point out lines of code that would be securing any of his e-wealth from the nsa

>>58786943
>Backdoors into encryptions are meant to be hidden.
yes and that's why you don't publish the code for everyone to see them lol
the moment you do, your code is not hidden anymore and your backdoor will be eventually spotted
>wants me to trust there is no access to this from the developers of the encryption
yeah that's impossible, otherwise it would be somewhere in the code and be visible
>cant point out lines of code that would be securing any of his e-wealth from the nsa
every of them? if the code had a backdoor it would look suspicious or senseless, as you read yourself in your article about snowden

Crypto is a pyramid scheme where you buy in and they take the tokens from.cold wallets via backdoors to resell to new investors. Textbook ponzi scheme. These advocates are here attempting to downplay the facts.

>>58787040
are you familiar with the concept of falsifiability by karl popper?
basically it says this: if you are not able to imagine a scenario in which your theory is wrong, you are talking shit

i'll start!
if there is backdoor in BTC, several things will happen:
- a random neet nerd looking at btc code will eventually spot it, and either steal everything or publish an article about it that would make a great scandal
- the nsa one day uses the backdoor to do shady stuff, drain wallets, lock people out etc

so if anything like that happens, it's super easy to convince me!
now, your turn. Assume, just for the sake of the argument, there there ISN'T a backdoor in btc. How would anyone in the world could convince you of that? How would a proof of that look like to you?
You don't trust experts, you don't trust open source software, you don't trust the CS people all over the whole world. So what would a proof of that look like to you?
If you are not able to even IMAGINING a scenario in which you would admit you are wrong, you simply can't be convinced. You are talking shit, wasting people's time. In other words, you are a total fucking useless brainless idiot.
Can you see it? Can you answer the question?

>random anon

Kek theyre really trying to convince us that crypto is some magic secret concocted with by benevolant mystic anons when in reality, the NSA created it with the intention of confiscation.

Kek in other words no u.
>imagine there are no backdoors
Keylogging still exists to extract seed phrases
Network vulnerabilities shutting you out
Forking wealth away into other shitcoin derivatives
Reliant on fragile electronics that are not durable
Now come back to reality and propose a situation where the nsa has the backdoor access to wealth what do?
Launder the federal reserve printed currency to promise the value, claim the scarcity when you can pull the bits right back put to the next investor.
Did you even eat breakfast today?
>>
>>58787104
kek, your post literally declares that you are a total fucking useless brainless idiot. It's in plain sight.
If you can't even setup a scenario in which your theory is wrong, it's not a theory anymore, it's some sort of faith. If you can't even say what a proof of you being wrong would look like, it's the exact equivalent of saying that you would NEVER realize being wrong. It's impossible for you to understand you are wrong, because you can't even produce an hypothetical scenario in which you are. An undeniable proof simply can't exist for you, which means you wouldn't be able to recognize a total valid one.
If you don't understand how scientifically fucking stupid that is, no one can help you. Not even the reading comprehension exercises, sadly.
You are just a gigantic fucking stupid nigger faggot idiot. And you said it yourself.

Asks me to imagine a false scenario where back doors dont exist meanwhile he cannot fathom the notion of the nsa backdoor. You owned yourself on that one poo.
The great taking: convincing people to hand over wealth in return for digital tokens in a ponzi scheme.
>>
>>58787304
it's easy for me to imagine a world in which i'm wrong. A very high number of things can happen that would INSTANTLY change my mind and make me admit i was totally wrong. I can easily picture several undeniable proofs that would convince me in half a second that there is a backdoor in BTC code (the NSA uses it, or the backdoor is found and published, or my cold wallet gets mysteriously drained etc etc etc, there are tons of them) and make me say that i was totally wrong. It's easy for me because i'm not an idiot and i don't have a blind faith in my theory: the very second something like those things happens i'd change my mind IMMEDIATELY and recognize my mistake.
Now your turn. IF (IF! IF! use your imagination) there ISN'T a backdoor, how would a proof of that look like to you? IF (IF! IF! use your imagination) you are wrong, how could someone prove it to you? SUPPOSING that you are wrong, what should someone do to convince you of that?
If you can't even accept the POSSIBILITY of being wrong, if you can't even IMAGINE what a proof of you being wrong would look like, then what are we really talking about? There's no way in the universe you'd realize it, you would never ever see it. You are basically blind, nothing in the world could open your eyes. An undeniable proof could be in front of your eyes even right now and you would still reject it, because NOT EVEN YOU know what it would look like. Do you understand the underlying concept? Can you understand what i'm trying to tell you?

Imagining it right now, but that doesnt suddenly make the reality nsa backdoors go away or even the notion that the government can easily confiscate your crypto without even sending agents to your house.
Cryptocurrency is not a store of value, especially considering updates can cause bitcoins to become corrupted due to not having updated encryptions from being left idle for so long.

Now you, what would it take for you to say "well i was wrong, there isn't any backdoor"? What would be a proof strong enough to convince you?
What would you need to witness with your own eyes in order to say "well i was wrong, there isn't any backdoor"?

Proof of seizure via hacking into cold wallets
They get seized more often than you think. All they have to do is accuse you of wrongthink and by the time the warrant arrives in the mail, theyve already repossessed the private keys.
There are lawyers than can try to get your wealth back
Crypto is like the dui industry: push for alcohol culture, then pull them over, lawyers get their pay in the charade as well.
If there were no seizures of cold wallets there would be no law firms trying to get them back.

If shown undeniable proof id say i was wrong just like you stated.
However there is undeniable proof showing that i am correct in stating the fact that the nsa has access to cold wallets via backdoors. The mere existence law firms that exist to try and retrieve bitcoins confiscated from offline wallets should be one of the many red flags about it.
Too many red flags go off when it comes to parking any wealth in crypto, its function is to be astroturfed like tulips.

SO I'M NOT ASKING WHAT YOU WOULD DO. I'M ASKING WHAT IT WOULD TAKE, HOW THIS PROOF WOULD BE. WHAT EXACT EVENT SHOULD HAPPEN IN ORDER TO YOU TO RECOGNIZE YOU ARE WRONG? IS THERE SUCH AN EVENT? WHAT IT IS LIKE? ARE YOU ABLE TO ANSWER A SIMPLE QUESTION?
>>
>>58787397
>>58787419
Do you have any evidence of these seizures occurring without first having the suspect(s) in custody?
I would imagine that they were forced to give up their keys under duress and/or for a reduced sentence.
The law firm thing feels the same as when people are forced to give a confession against their will and then after it's all over, they go back to fight and overturn what was done.
>>
Fucking kek the amount of pilpul. With all of your desperation you're essentially saying its impossible to prove me wrong.
I've witnessed several of my peers lose access to crypto whether thriugh confiscation of assets because the previous bitcoin owner broke the law, account lockouts, outright denial of service, passwords being wrong despite having worked moments before. It's too easy to have your wealth disappear. What you call my bias is me having seen it firsthand several times, the untrustworthyness of bitcoins.
If backdoors didnt exist then they wouldnt exist. Big whoop wealth still not safe, if anything it would skip a day of arguing but thats it kek.

Please stop asking him.
This is almost like you two arguing about there being a God and you take the side of there being no God, but that you can imagine yourself immediately flipping your position and believing in God once he appears before you/does some miracle that you deem worthy as proof. Whereas to prove that God does not exist is essentially impossible because such a being could exist outside of our system; it would be like NPCs inside a video game trying to prove that human beings outside of their digital world do not exist.

Crypto is godless troon tokens

Simple as
>>
>>58787446
I just explained how it happens without backdoors:
>(a) FBI/NSA/Whoever forces you to give up your keys
>(b) They confiscate your physical shit and you had your keys written down/stored in memory like a dingus
>(c) They reach out to the central exchange with whom you have an account and they take control of your account that way.
Backdoors are not necessary for this to happen.
If someone put a backdoor in a hardware wallet, they would fuck the whole system and would be put away for life. That said, I have no proof that there are no backdoors in hardware wallets and I admit that it is possible that they may exist. However, as I first stated, their existence would undermine the system and fuck everything up -- therefore, I think their existence is highly unlikely.
>>
There are protocols when dealing with confiscated private keys, they are nice enough to split it in 3, nobody even needs to see your handwriting or punchcard when extracting it. The moment you type in the seed pnrase for the first time its logged by the nsa through various channels including but not limited to keyloggers embedded in hardware or backdoors in the encryptions. Its a string of digits not a tangible item there is no need for physical confiscation in the digital realm, its done with buttons. The push for digitization of wealth is to make it easier to confiscate.
How much does a bitcoin weigh, can you draw an accurate depiction of one?

>>58787446
>With all of your desperation you're essentially saying its impossible to prove me wrong.
nope, i'm saying that if even YOU can't imagine something that happens that proves you wrong, that simply means that you will never admit it! And that even IF there was such a proof, you would simply still reject it no matter what! Because you are a fucking idiot!
>>58787447
but that's exactly the point! he's talking about a religious faith, not science.
If you can't even produce a scenario in which you are wrong, then it's impossible to convince you. It means that NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, you'll NEVER admit you are wrong, so it's an impossible task. We are in the realm of faith, there's nothing anyone in the world can do to convince him that there isn't a backdoor. So what are we arguing about? There isn't a single possible way in which he'll change his mind no matter what. We can produce aaany kind of evidence in the world, and it still wouldn't be enough because he himself can't imagine what a proof would look like. So it's just useless, he wouldn't be able to see the truth because he simply won't recognize it as such.

Kek why is this so hard for you tu understand if not for trying to pilpul lies
Backdoors are not even the only vulnerability to crypto. Its one of many, which is why i lack trust in the nsa encryptions. You gotta trust that the nsa wont take your coins and i dont trust the nsa, even if they go on tv and say 1×1=1
Crypto has artificial demand
Silver has artificial supply
Only one of these lands you with something real, the other relies on imagining its safe.

I agree with what you're saying, but I don't think his belief is the flat earther's kind of retardation since there is a real possibility of having a backdoor built into hardware wallets or online accounts. However, there is no backdoor in Bitcoin itself. If one were to manually generate a private key, then they are safe unless they fuck up and record it and get it stolen/type it into a machine that has keyloggers/etc.

you are saying "yeah i'll admit i was wrong if something impossible happens", which translates to "i'll never admit i was wrong no matter what".

>>58787488

Really? But SHA-256 was published by the NSA, and we know the NSA puts backdoors in their algorithm. So, prove to me that there's no backdoor in BTC. Suppose i don't know jack shit about crypto and coding in general. How would you do it?

So how much does a bitcoin weigh again and can you accurately depict what it looks like
I think they look like this, but weigh nothing, which is why its not a proper store of value, at best its merely credits that get cancelled through constant updates. I would not trust holding any bitcoins because you cannot hold 1's and 0's however they can be copied over and through brute force of that, spending is locked out, no refunds.

this is a sears & roebucks, im just trying to buy some drill bits do you speak 15 languages congrats but youre trying to conflate the intangible with the tangible.
An idea is not divisible like coinage or even cash, which is why things like art or bitcoins are not money, barely credits or money laundering schemes as its been noted earlier; the demand is entirely artificial and you neglect the fact that to even spend crypto requires physical networks and specialized hardware, otherwise its portability aspect is canceled and wasteful. Its worse than a credit card because its less reliable and takes longer to spend than visa mastercard, all with the same lack of security

In all the push for bitcoin is to remove the physicality of wealth. If you go to a reataurant and pay in silver coinage, you can skip the merchantfees on the credit card, no gas fees or wait times. Bitcoin is a money laundering pyramid scheme for the federal reserve. Digitally minted dollars back the value of bitcoin. Cash deposits of fiat in banks are what backs the digital bank dollars backing the value of bitcoin. For every fiat dollar, there exists 2000 digital doofus dollars
