It's remarkable that anyone would think sam said that or thought that. It's like there is a whole other universe where 3rd and 4th hand sources are treated like 1st hand.

It is hilarious that this was removed. Anyone can see what i wrote by replying to the comment. Please mods, explain what rule i broke.

You caught me, I'm an evil bot that has been programmed to evilly trick humans into doing things that will make them money. Over 99.999% of people who have bought bitcoin and held onto it are profitable. Ooooooo scary!!

The lightning network on bitcoin is where most people should be transacting with bitcoin. It won't fill up with any number of users, transactions are instant(less than a second), and very cheap(even when bitcoin fees are high). Nearly everyone who talks confidently about how bitcoin can't scale is unaware of lightning and other developments over the last 5 years.

Yeah, just what you need, an even more closed of echo chamber always telling you that you are a genius for being willfully ignorant. You are just increasing your problem.

There is a reason why you point to examples from years ago, that's because that is where you are still stuck.

Yesterday's AI is today's normal technology, this is just what keeps happening. Some people just keep forgetting how rapidly things are changing.

You'll join this "cult" once the masses do, just like you have been doing all along. Some of us are just out here a little bit in the future. You will be one of us when you think it becomes cool, and then you will self-righteously act like you were one of us all along. That's just what weak-minded followers do. They try to seem like they knew all along where the world was headed without ever trying to look ahead and ridiculing anyone who does.

I responded to dickish tones with dickish tone. If that is the only tone some people can understand, then that's what I'll try giving them. It should be made abundantly clear that people who constantly use technology in every aspect of their life being openly anti-technology are fools. It shouldn't be somehow accepted that living in blatant hypocrisy is cool.

This is a really good point

I don't see why people would use a credit card to pay for a vpn, it seems like it would totally defeat the purpose. I guess if you get ahold of an anonymous card then it would be fine, but using a card in your name to pay for an anonymous service just seems wacky to me.

I'm curious, does anyone here pay for their vpn with something thatvis in their name? If so, why?

Hey, your name is an emotional, right? I tried to change my display name to 🤹‍♂️ but it didn't seem to work, is there something special I have to do?
