    Lol that’s my point. All of you are bullshitting about understanding Bitcoin, so I’ll bullshit too.

    0% chance any of you grumpy yokels could explain how it works. 0% The only people I’ve ever met in my life who could actually explain how it works were investors and enthusiasts.

    Every. Single. Person. I’ve ever met online or off who shit talks Bitcoin has never once been able to explain how it works. Because you can’t! If you could, you’d be singing a totally different tune.

    Yeah yeah you actually know and you’ve studied it for 35 years and only you have figured out it’s a big scam and yada yada. I’ve seen this for almost a decade now.

    Today’s not the day I meet the first person to understand Bitcoin and argue against it.

      Well no shit. If your basis for understanding Bitcoin is arguing for it, then sure, you’ll never meet that person. You’ll have a bizarre definition of understanding that no one else will use, but at least your jimmies won’t be rustled.

        What is this gibberish? I’ve read it 5 times and I have no idea what you’re saying. Maybe I am the dumb one.

        I think I can kind of decipher what you’re trying to do here…like you’re trying to argue that my definition of someone who understands Bitcoin is someone who agrees with me. But that’s comically incorrect.

        Let me rephrase: No one that shit talks Bitcoin can also describe how it functions. Throw out “understanding”. Just what is it, how does it work? Explain mining. Explain difficulty. How they work, not just what they are.

        No one can do it. Again, if someone can both explain all of this accurately and then say Bitcoin is a scam/worthless/etc, I’ll eat my hat. Has never happened once.

        Can you?

        Edit: Downvoting is a particularly poor argument here 😂
