You know... world peace wouldn't be that hard to accomplish if we had actual human beings in charge of things.

And a currency with limited supply where actual work is required to obtain it, something that can't just be printed out of thin air.

We should be so lucky. I love the liberals that would say "how Christian of you?" to this. Actually, Sloth is one of the 7 deadly sins..

I remember it to, and for some reason people where desperate to give it away to the banking cartel in exchange for some worthless paper. Every high profile banker says it's a terrible investment, even tho it's up 10,000% compared to the cash we got in exchange back in the days.

Then some Japanese guy made a digital version of it in 2009, but that's dangerous too according to the banking cartel.

I vaguely remember reading about some POTUS that fucked it over around 50 years ago. All the trouble it could've saved us if we had just 1776d them.

There's no such thing as a patent on bitcoin.

I'm all for cryptocurrencies but Bitcoin is not the answer as it doesn't scale properly. Back in 2009 smartphones with just 32 or 64GB internal memory plus centralized cloud storage wasn't a thing, back then most people used desktop PC's with traditional hard drives that still followed Moore's law.

By that logic the chain could theoretically grow as fast as the core team predicted. BCH on the other hand would grow even faster i people where actually using it, and current transaction fees are as high as $100. That's insane.

No we need other solutions. Such as:

  • Ethereum that has sharding, where each node only store a part of the chain
  • Monero, where block size is dynamic and balanced between fees and size
  • Nano, where each wallet tracks it's own transactions only

I'm sure there are more alternative solutions that allows each wallet to be a part of the decentralized network without causing insanely high transaction fees.

Also, we need trust less physical mediums of exchange, not cash but maybe gold and silver coins, heck why not even mix in other metals too and let the value match the value of the metal plus weight, that way it's hard to cheat and fake value, still possible but hard.

Nickel, copper or aluminum for change and small transactions, gold and silver coins for more expensive purchases. And crypto as digital alternative.

The creator put gems, jewels and precious metals all over the world for us to use as money and people still want to make a system.

It absolutely scales properly. Just not instantly.

I keep saying this, but it's almost time for Jesus to come down and start setting things straight.

Demons walk the earth and He needs to deputize some of us to take them down. Us mere mortals don't have the power - Trump came close, though.

So do you hate God for creating such a twisted pervert like yourself or do you just have a shitty dad?

45willwinagain 6 points ago +7 / -1

what makes you think i'm a pervert?

just because i don't believe in the magic man in the clouds bullshit i must therefore be a sick pervert (coincidentally exactly like the people who preach the magic man in the clouds bullshit to you who are constantly molesting children and being shipped around to new towns in new churches where they start their cycle of child grooming and child fucking all over again).

also my dad is awesome, we play golf at least once a month spring-fall, i just finished helping him build a new garage after he helped me build my house.

funny though you think the only options in life are to either believe in fairytales or be a fatherless deviant...

says a lot more about you than me now doesn't it?

I know you're being hyperbolic since world peace is impossible (unless under a global tyrannical government - but the security of peace is not worth the total loss of liberty), but the problem is governments, not that we don't have moral people in power.

Power often draws the worst of us in, and corrupts the rest. And nothing is as powerful as entities with a monopoly on force. Power from wealth pales in comparison to power from government, it's why companies lobby (bribe) politicians.

The problem isn't government.

People think they need government to survive.

The problem is people.

Decency is the rarest virtue of all. It takes a great man to be a decent man and it takes a decent man to become a great man.
