This is so embarassing. Bob, you’re covering Bitcoin IRC topics I and others debated in 2010-2011.
In #bitcoin, on Freenode.
Hey bob.. it’s past 2011
There’s other crypto currencies
there have been for a while
you never, never, ever once got into them
and why they’re different
and why bitcoin is msdos 1.0
and you’re literally 14 years behind discussing this monetary topic.
I feel like swearing, Bob.
Monero is what Bob thinks Bitcoin is.
Also if any of you are lost on the technicals, listen to this interviewee’s spirit. When bob asks the hard question, the scheming pause.
You can hear it.
I mean listen to what he’s saying… He’s telling you “It’s bitcoin” but “you’re not on the blockchain… you’re on a
non-verifiable ledger now and we’ll call that progress.
p u h l e a s e think
Stop praying to the Golden Calf of Crypto 1.0.
