Hipsters virtue signal without thinking much, their entire identity is wrapped in larping with a hardware wallet because they have nothing else
is that really the problem here?
I think the problem is a much larger one, that is very common in economics and probably any scientific discipline, maybe even most human endeavors... people have difficulty imagining just how different an equally valid lifestyle could be.
Yea they're related, since hipsters identity is wrapped up in one aspect, anyone placing value in a different place along the surface is inherently invalid
Many such cases
you might be more familiar with individual personalities or stereotypes here on SN; however I've been "out of town" for a while, so I'm less eager to dismiss people's concerns, even if I agree with you that they are misguided in some way.
I'm just asking questions and voicing concerns in a corner of the internet that I respect, and consider the best place to find legitimate, well thought out answers.
I'm not sure where he's getting his ideas about me from, and he's welcome to have his own opinion about me, but I don't think anything I've said counts as an attack on bitcoin, or is overly alarmist.
I also know there are people here that actively develop for bitcoin, so I'm asking for expert opinions.
Simple as that.
You're asserting things as true that simply are not, that's not asking questions. You're presupposing.
Linked you to 3 different long posts that break it down, and referenced papers from peter gutmann... and all you got is "agree to disagree"
You're not looking for answers, you're looking to confirm your idiotic presuppositions.
All you're asking for is to be flamed by posting nonsense as fact: #1468593
I'm telling people what my understanding is and I've been extremely open to being corrected, and my responses to you are "agree to disagree" because I don't think you're capable of having a reasonable conversation about this.
Flame away, but I'm on the verge of just muting you entirely. There's people here who are capable of acting like adults.
don't think you're capable of having a reasonable conversation
Projection.
I've provided materials that lay out the case very clearly, you won't engage on the topic because you're not actually trying to learn anything and seem content to just repost lies.
If you want to learn, I'll educate you, but you've shown only the opposite so far.
some people don't understand that Bitcoin's long-term survival does not require all individual people to have active wallets.
even if you think for some ideological reason that all people should use Bitcoin for their long-term savings, most people could get by with far less than one transaction per week, if all they're doing is topping up a "rainy day fund".
I also believe that requiring everyone to actually use Bitcoin themselves, independently, is delusional. Humans are social animals and delegation of responsibility is efficient. Having the right and freedom to use Bitcoin doesn't mean you also have an obligation to do so.
