>>107426813already answered in >>107426688
That deprecated fedcoin? No.
>>107426625I think at this point crypto is dead as a technology, even with the president of the US pushing it it's failed to improve anybody's life or be useful to anyone but criminals AI might be a bubble too but at least it has some valid uses, or at the very least is entertaining
>>107426856Those are technology related topics, not finance you tard
>>107426927No, we do not discuss technology here on /g/, unfortunately.
>>107426927Technology that in the course of 15+ years has only ever served the needs of criminals and gamblers for financial ends
>>107426625Token not needed
>>107426962Look, I'll make it easy to start. Here's the BitVM paper that addresses how to express turing complete computations that are verified on Bitcoin without any changes to the consensus rules.https://bitvm.org/bitvm.pdfThe recent controvery about removing the op_return 83 byte size limit on transactions is so that the 144 bytes needed for on-chain validation can be published.>>107426960What do we discuss then? The current Rust/GNU/Drew DeVault/Apple/LTT drama?
>>107427246I’ma be real wit u my dude, no one fuckin with blockchain unless it makes them filthy rich. All that pie in the sky dapps and smart contract wank is nothing but another vehicle for scamming people out of their money
>>107427359Do you have a study to back that up?
>>107427377Yeah, see the entire history of Ethereum
Have they made anything useful with blockchain yet?
>>107427359>>107427407>>107426625Use case?
>>107427430No use case.
>>107426625What's the use case for buying shitcoins when you can just invest in stocks? There's a lower risk of getting scammed and you'll own something that has real value.
>>107427440Granted.
>>107427483>What's the use case for buying shitcoinsI can pay for anything anywhere without a bank middleman.
Monero won.

>>107428702And how exactly are they obtaining and spending their XMR if they aren’t somehow converting it from / to fiat money in the process? Does the strip club take payment in XMR? Does the Bugatti dealership? Does the real estate agency in Abu Dhabi?
>>107428847You just swap it for cash or drugs (or pay for groceries with it if you use something like bitrefill)
>>107427430Unrestricted payments that you have total control over and that preserves privacy.I also heard it can be a good investment, but that's secondary.

>>107430601>Unrestricted payments that you have total control over and that preserves privacy.>>I also heard it can be a good investment, but that's secondary.Yep, Monero.
>>107426919Post nose. Crypto is the only way you can liberate yourself from the hold of central banks. If you use fiat you are a slave, simple as.
For me is traceable money that expires
>>107427377>a studyWhat a redditbrained retarded question. Do you expect a randomised controlled trial on the efficacy of crypto scams?
