The decentralized, P2P model that BitTorrent popularized is incredibly resilient.

BitTorrent has been around for how many decades? Still going strong.

American states and cities like Miami are becoming crypto-friendly.

This is the next phase in the Information Age. I suggest you all at least consider the possibilities.

No I’d prefer to keep all my money in a checking account and do nothing

the thing that scares me is does it mean that our current currency will become worthless? so im saving all this USD for nothing

That's exactly what's happening right now. Better do something to counteract it for your own good and future stability.

The world does not want the USD to continue running s*** but there is no proper alternative (yet). It will be knocked off its pedestal within a few years.

im not ready for all that

It’s good that you’re worried. Most aren’t.

Yeah BitTorrent my favorite coin

In fact, we should have a thread dedicated to crypto and it should be stickied.

We do in the tech sxn

It will definitely be bigger. I see it becoming a universal currency that will be more accessible and accepted as payment worldwide. Because of this though I really wish we could change the attitudes behind it. People are just acting like d***heads with the s***, and of course that's just what happens with any form of currency. The greed, corruption, and illegal activity that goes on with buying/trading.

Gotta be a good 3-5 years late with this lol

Once 5G is more widespread blockchain tech will follow and open the door to crypto becoming normalized

That’s more investment-centric.

one question i always had about crypto is how can it be used by poorer people that don’t have such access to technology

In a crypto-utopia, power is diffuse, instead of being concentrated in the hands of authoritarian governments and corporations.

Taking my talents to Slashdot.

Crypto is the future brother.

Nah. There needs to be regulation. Way too many scams in crypto with 0 chance of tracing that money. I just got scammed Friday and it makes things more difficult to trace

Which is becoming a universal currency..... there are thousands of crypto with most being useless. And Bitcoin is terrible as a currency. So unless you’re talking stablecoins then no, none should be a universal currency

don't get scammed dumbass
