@goatmeal @meowski @33c74427f3b2b73d5e38f3e6c991c122a55d204072356f71da49a0e209fb6940 @Quentel @bot @vic I can see no other reason for people's fierce loyalty to Bitcoin in 2024 than, well, shit. Remember what I was just saying about tricking people into hosting some kind of AI with an ulterior motive? Look how Mewski reacted when I brought up my Stadia theory. What is all that electricity and hashing power REALLY doing at this point? If you can't see the parallels to tricking people into buying surveillance equipment to spy on themselves and the whole planet spending untold amounts of money and resources to arbitrarily crack a huge chunk of encrypted data, then I can't help you. We never needed POW rewards to have blockchains. What could it POSSIBLY matter if I buy bitcoin instead of litecoin, doge, biblecoin, etc. (this is a rhetorical question, please don't try to answer it)
