Sure, I have no problem with that.

Hypotheticals are not bad. Thought expirements are not bad. Repeating things you hear from people just because they tell you to, that's bad.

Clearly. The 3x lol really makes that obvious.

Hypothetical. Look it up. It is commonly used in discussions. Don't let new words scare you.

Yeah, commenting on someone's comment they made about my comment isn't personal. It's interesting how you know you dislike what I said but can't come up with anything to actually say about it. Maybe you should take that as an indication that you don't actually know why you parrot the things you do.

It is really great that you can make stuff up. Hypothetical questions have been useful for as long as people have discussed things. I'm sorry that this hypothetical question offended you so much, but it is entirely different than "making stuff up".

İ live in the 2nd world and am often in the third. You must have either been in a pretty unique place, or you are projecting your experience from long ago onto the current state of things. You just need to revisit and update your world view to modern times.

Been using it for decades, never an issue for me. What in the world are you trying to download over there??

Climate change is a separate issue.

It would be fantastic if people being abused by corrupt politicians and currencies was niche! It's not though, there are hundreds of millions of people struggling with it. Billions depending on how you count it. It is a disease of the 1st world to be unable to accept that not everyone has the same privileges they enjoy. Human beings are literally starving to death and dying decades early due to poverty, Bitcoin is literally keeping them alive. Spoiled brats want them to die because they saw a headline that tells them to parrot that Bitcoin is bad. Where is your outrage over Christmas lights? How about video games? These things don't save lives and transform existences like safe money does.

Nearly everyone who has bought Bitcoin and held are up, it has outperformed every stock, every currency, every investment on large enough time scales. Give me a volatile currency that goes up in value over volatile currencies that utterly collapse. Where is the outrage over the lira? Or any other currency that is down to 5% of itself that people are "supposed" to hold according to you?

There is a very good reason that you don't have answers to these. It is because all you know on the issue is that you are not supposed to look to deeply and you're supposed to mindlessly repeat that Bitcoin is bad without having any idea why. You are allowed to research, you are allowed to make your own decisions, you are allowed to talk to people in the 2nd and 3ed worlds. You are allowed to travel to these places and talk to people. Nobody forces you to repeat their BS, you just have to decide that you want to learn and then put in some effort.

I just looked it up, it looks like it is the a difference of 35% to 80% in the developed world.

Imagine this, you are forced to hold your wealth in corrupt government run banks. They often print tons of it for themselves, criminals are printing it, the government can seize it from anyone they want. You can try to store it at home, yourself, or you can give it to the banks. Now there is a third option, store it as Bitcoin. No need for risking it under your bed or with the corrupt banker politicians, and on top of those be victims to their inflation. Sure, your bank probably doesn't often seize your money, and your currency probably isn't rapidly devaluing even compared to the dollar, but if it was then you would probably think the energy is worth it.
