@trinsec Oh I'm sure he is dead.. For the past 10 years anytime I saw a picture of him in public I was sure he was dead.
So apparently Prince Phillip died.. whats this the second time for him, or third?
One sunny day in late may as I sit at an outdoor cafe eating lunch:
my friend: ::sniff sniff:: you smell that
me: Yea thats disgusting I wonder where that is coming fr..... TRINSECCCCC!!!!!!!! you bastard.
@trinsec Usually when someone is talking out of their ass you can smell it.
@trinsec homes im not too worried about as they are their own collateral. Its more business loans to start a new business that seems concerning as they dont tend to start out as being collateral.
@trinsec I guess that makes more sense.. its kinda the same as our credit score but with less detail.. they only see the negative and not the positive. Which seems reasonable I guess.
Then again that means getting big loans on little collateral would be more challenging as your collateral is really the only thing they use to size the loan and good credit history wont really give you a boost.
@trinsec i never borrowed money in europe or the netherlands. So I'm curious how a company other than your bank can determine your worthiness for a loan without a credit history or something that is equivalent to it.
@trinsec I'm mixed on that.. if the only people who can give you loans is your bank since they are the only one who knows your spending history then how can you shop around for the best rate on a loan?
@trinsec yea america is I suppose unique in that regard. Personally I think owning a credit card for personal emergencies is the responsible thing to do. But silly that you need to own one just to get your credit up.
@trinsec Not entierly true.. your best credit will be maintained at about 1% - 2% credit utlilization. So basically buy something small on your credit card is usually best. but at 0% youll still have decent credit. The key is to make sure you have credit cards at all.
See ya, have fun.
I have made **way** more money betting on ethereum throughout the years than bitcoin.. I think im good on my destination.
@robryk because it was in the form of nails, winches, guns, and swords.. forged items that I think even if you dont know what a rusted gun IS you at least know its not a stone.
By not natural I mean something that has been manipulate by an intelligent being (in this case a human).
Staying poor? Tell that to the market, EThereum has for over a year now been out performing bitcoin by more than 6x more (12.5x vs 7x)... bitcoin is a sinking ship relative to ethereum and the market knows it.
Thats not what the market reflects, nor the history.. bitcoin is on way out and other coins have been quickly overtaking it for some time.. Again ethereum has gained 12.5 int he last year while bitcoin only 7x, and thats simply because bitcoin is a failure due to its lack of smart contracts and any attempts to hack/patch in functionality that resembles smart contracts has and always will fail because the coin itself doesnt support it. Therefore you wind up relying on some authority as a middle man who can steal your coin at will and break the whole idea of crypto (decentralized and no middle man taking money).
@Moon @drbitcoinmd @icedquinn @10grans @mystik @joshbdoc @Coyote
That is entierly ignorant of the limitations of bitcoin... yes there have been solutions that attempt to use bitcoin to do this, all of them are ugly patches that inevitably have big issues that cant be fixed because bitcoin simply does not provide modern functionality.
@Moon @drbitcoinmd @icedquinn @10grans @mystik @joshbdoc @Coyote
Not sure it is from the CIA, but otherwise your right... it doesnt provide the garunteed on-chain security a smart contract does... Its basically an insecure bastardized attempt to patch bitcoin to provide functionality that seems similar to a smart contract but in fact is not remotely similar.
There is a reason ethereum (which provides smart contracts) had 12.5x gain int he last year while bitcoin only had 7x gain, and thats because bitcoin is archaic and cant be patched.
He seems to think all tokens are scammy by default.. I suspect he is really just one of those "bitcoin is the only coin that counts" and completely dismisses the value of smart contracts or tokens as a whole, possibly due to a lack of understanding.
@drbitcoinmd @drgo @icedquinn @10grans @mystik @joshbdoc @Coyote
No one would argue that you cant create a scam coin.. of course you can.. the fact that you **can** create scam coins doesnt mean that all coins/tokens are scams however. There are plenty which are not and fill a need.
As for bitcoin, bitcoin doesnt have smart contracts (thought hey are trying to and some tools give a half-assed attempt at it), and as others have pointed out that means bitcoin can not functionally provide the level of trust a blockchain with smart contracts is capable of.
