There is nothing wrong with Brave. It's a great browser. I like the cryptocurrency aspect of it.

No. Bitcoin is the future of money. It really is the best form of money humanity has invented so far. People just need to stop trading shit coins.
I ordered some stuff to get delivered from Walmart, and they wanted me to tip the delivery driver! Fuck that! I'm not going to tip for that. Pay the drivers a living wage! If they don't get tips and don't get paid enough, then these companies just wont have drivers anymore.
The browser works well. I am very much into crytpocurrency. I think Bitcoin and Ethereum are the future of money.
You don't need to turn on ads in Brave. It blocks ads really well.
I don’t know. I’ve just always felt like it was weird to come up with a term for “normal” people. I don’t understand why it was necessary. Maybe it’s just me, and maybe I’m getting old, but I don’t understand the obsession with labeling everyone and putting them in a well defined box. Sometimes I like to dress in girls clothes, but I hate the term “cross dresser”. Can’t we just be ourselves without all the labels?
I've suddenly started seeing the word "Tankie" around. WTF does it mean?
Then just eat fruit instead of refined fructose.
Religions have been perverted into a system of manipulation and control of the masses. Granules of truth in each one keep people coming back, but in the end they are like a virus in human consciousness that is designed to control us. I really believe each person can only find real truth by turning inward and deeply exploring their own consciousness.
Ethereum is pretty cool too. I'm not a Bitcoin maximalist. That's pretty much it though. the rest are shitcoins. Edit: Monero is the other good coin.
I love apple products, and have been a mac user since the 80s, but this is just silly.
CCP is one of the worst governments in the world. Chinese culture is cool, but seriously fuck the pooh bear looking dictator.
No. We should always strive to make friends with our enemies. We are all human. United we stand, decided we fall.
I’m bi, and cis does feel kind of weird. Wtf does it even mean? I’ve never felt good about the term.
Never posting my children on the internet.
When did people start tracking how many hours they play? I used to play games for hours a day. I loved getting lost in them, but I never kept track of hour many hours I spent. Now I'm a dad with a full time job, so I only get to play a little bit every once in a while. But when i get an hour to play I really enjoy it a lot!
well, there are only so many willing bodies out there. If enough people don't tip, then word spreads quickly and people don't want the job...
Never trust the numbers given by the terrorist organization Hamas. They lie to get sympathy.
Money is a social construct that only has value because people agree it has value. Bitcoin and Ethereum are the best forms of money humans have ever invented. Once we have privacy at the base layer, fiat money is dead.
*refined sugars
I'd argue that crypto is more efficient than the legacy fiat currency banking systems. The people/central banks that print money are some of the most corrupt on the planet. Scammers are attracted to money. There are plenty of fiat scammers too. Crypto doesn't propose any kind of regulation or deregulation. It's about decentralization and freedom to control your own assets. The fundamental driving force behind it is very much the same as the fediverse. It's decentralized money.
They serve the purpose of being able to quickly and easily send money around the globe without middle men that can censor your transactions. Anyone in the world can create a wallet for free. There are many places in the world where it's difficult to even get a bank account.
I don't understand where you got the ideas that you have about cryptocurrency?
You have far too much faith in governments and laws created by humans. Laws change as society changes, and society is usually far ahead of laws in terms of evolution. They aren't real unless people agree on them. Like with weed being illegal federally in the US, but individual states not giving a fuck about federal laws. All governments are corrupt, and will never help solve the wealth gaps. The US government is bought and paid for by corporations. Places like china just control the population through fear. We need separation of money and state to have real freedom.
There is no need to trust people when using Bitcoin. it's a trustless system that uses a consensus algorithm. I would rather accumulate large amounts of wealth and help people than stay poor.
Did you watch the talk by Andreas?
"Crytpto" is not a scam. Bitcoin and Ethereum are the future of money.
There are a lot of shitcoins out there, but don't let them fool you into staying poor. Fiat money is dying.
That's not true. Fiat money is money created and managed by a government. We need separation of State and Money.

It's backed by math. There is a fixed amount of Bitcoin. We have never had the concept of "digital scarcity" before. There are thousands of computers running independently that are following a consensus algorithm. it's an open, permisionless, trustless system that anyone on the planet can be part of.
You would rather have money controlled by corrupt governments? Hilarious.
I love firefox. It's my main browser for everything. When I need a chrome based browser for testing things, Brave is my go to browser.
I guess there is no convincing you. You seem very set in your ways. Edit: but I'll try...
Let's forget about "crypto" and just discuss Bitcoin and Ethereum. Those are the only two that have real value.
Ethereum switched to proof of stake, which dropped the energy used by the network by 99%. Bitcoin is still proof of work, but we waste electricity on lots of silly things. A lot of bitcoin mining is already done with renewable sources of energy.
There are a lot of cryptos that are used for pump and dumps. That's doesn't take away from the utility and value of crypto that isn't used for that.
Blockchains are public ledgers. They are terrible for avoiding taxes!
There is a lot of overlap in the culture of distributed centralization and federated systems. Many people that are into Bitcoin are really into the fediverse too.
There may be "good" reasons to block someone from making transactions, but who gets to decide what is good? like you said, sex workers should have access to financial transactions just as much as any other worker.
Andreas Antonopoulos has done some good talks on banking the unbanked: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-Y_F3PS4JE
I use Bitcoin and Ethereum to store my wealth. From my perspective it solves the problem of needing to trust someone else with my money. It's not unheard of for banks to fail and take your money. Look at the debt crisis that happened in Cypress and Greece. They just took money from people's bank accounts. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012%E2%80%932013_Cypriot_financial_crisis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_government-debt_crisis
Used cloth for my first, but I'm old now, so my second gets disposables.
Most printers are designed to be disposable. The companies make all their profits selling ink.
It's a great place to store and hold wealth.
The concept you are describing is Gresham's Law. https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/how-does-greshams-law-relate-to-bitcoin
Bitcoin is digital gold. Other cryptocurrencies will become used as well for basic payments. Eventually you will be able to pay cross chain so it wont even matter which coins you hold.

wow. it's interesting to hear. I've been really into crypto since 2011. I see it as the best money humans have ever invented. It allows me to be my own bank. It eliminates the financial middle men that just make money off our money. The banking industry is corrupt and wastes a lot of energy. The only thing really missing in most crypto is privacy.
Kids are always coming up with creative ways to seriously hurt themselves.
LOL
26k isn't much. my level 50 druid has over 4 million gold...
Have fun staying poor.
I have a nice cast iron, but am always scared to use it because I don't want to clean it the wrong way. Do you have any cast iron maintenance tips?
Why do you assume I think I'm exempt from laws? I paid over $300,000 usd in taxes last year! I'm not using crypto to break laws, I'm using to to become wealthy.
Cryptocurrency is the most efficient money we have. It doesn't require any middle man bankers. Sure, hackers can hack and loot exchanges, but right now we have the government looting us with inflation.
The problems you mentioned are being worked on. There are ways to backup and restore your wallet that will become easy.
The global economy doesn't need to only rely on Bitcoin, so the argument that we have to worry about deflation is just wrong.
Free in the sense that the place I store my wealth can't be confiscated (e.g. Cypress, Greece, etc...) or it's value inflated away by money printing.
Bitcoin is peer-to-peer digital cash. Governments can't ban it, that's why they are regulating it and accepting it as a thing.
