Bitcoin is 15 years old.
To put that in perspective:

The web started in 1991. 15 years later, in 2006, we had youtube, twitter, amazon, ebay - the world was unrecognisable.

What have we got in that timeframe from #blockchain? Ashes.

Magic Beans

@noboilerplate Internet wasn’t suppressed by governments and banksters to such an extent. Popularization of BTC means US dollar dethronement and marginalization of any other fiat currency. No politician with power wants that to loose.

@patryko @noboilerplate a deflationary global reserve currency is a really, really bad idea in the age of globalization

And then it only has the capacity to handle what? A dozen transactions per second? For the low low cost of the electricity consumption of a developed european country

Its value is propped up by extreme speculation and cybercrime. I used to hold a small amount of BTC but closed my position when I realized that unlike shares in a company, it doesn’t actually DO anything

@panegyr @noboilerplate inflation is a mean for governments to reduce debt and to keep masses of people poor.
