I do have a question though, why does bitcoin threaten you so much? Seriously, you don't know that much about it and yet you hate it with a passion (enough to just make up lies about it and look like a dick).
Is there something in particular about it or are you just a general "I hate what I don't understand " type?
You wonder how I know you are lying? In a fork transactions are processed by both chains not by one or the other, there is no communication between the chains to say, "I have processed this so you don't have to". Chain forks delay things and change who receive the block reward but transactions still take place.
If you had actually used bitcoin you may actually know this, but yeah, your just a liar instead.
Besides, how would you know anything about the software to know it is shit, you clearly don't understand how it works. I very much doubt you have ever had any at all let alone transacted with it.
Start lieing like you do and your credibility drops to zero and now you just another internet liar.
Reversed two weeks later? If you're going to make shit up _please_ at least make it feasible, the longest fork in bitcoin lasted a matter of hours, not even days.
As compared to what? Credit cards that take 60 days?
Credit card authorisations are seconds, not 60 days.
Transactions in bitcoin take seconds as well.
He is talking about the transaction becoming final and non reversible (something very important to vendors, credit card fraud cost billions per annum).
I get where you are going but the US has been into mass surveillance for so damn long with the approval of the American public it has only been a matter of time before those techniques are focused back on their own populous (I say that knowing full well that they probably already have).
I don't think there is any turning back now, it is like only finding out about the slippery slope when you are already at the bottom unfortunately. I don't think the "it is alright to spy on everyone else, just not us" permission that was given to the US government by the US people was intended to turn out like this but there you have it.
The fact you have to parse 100 gig of blockchain per transaction makes BTC unwieldy.
Fortunate you don't have to do that then isn't it? You only need to check the coinbase (not the company).
That, and there is no real way to anonymize coins. Yes, tumbling sites exist, but there is a good chance you may not get back your coins at all.
Yeah, pseudo anonymous as I said. To add to that if you are paying your power bill they generally know who you are anyway.
However, there are a lot of things that you can do (or just not do) that gives your anonymity away but it is not in a blanket sense, you cant go to any individual transaction or amount on the blockchain and say for sure who it belongs to.
The segwit firestorm isn't helping either, with a good number of clients will soon be unable to parse things.
Can't argue with that. I have no idea why but there seems to be uneducated anonymous know-it-alls all over the internet that want their opinion heard and love conspiricy theories and live to spread hate. (not talking about you, I mean just generally these days not just bitcoin)
Bitcoin is not as easily tracked as some people will have you believe. It is pseudo-anonymous I will give you that but unless the user does something truly odd there is little chance to tell one persons transaction from another.
Calling it bad is just factual. Besides, I did not even bring it up in the first place. We all make the occasion error and it was not germain to the discussion. Trying to win arguments by pointing out minor spelling and grammar errors is really only the resort of the week minded.
If I called you a "ignorant retard" because of it that would be insulting.
Basicly if you have a million conspiricy nuts making a million conspiracy theories about a million events sooner or later some of them are going to be right.
Want a good laugh? Someone (who will remain nameless because I am embarrassed that I know someone that stupid) recently told me that all space travel is impossible and I am a fool for believing it. Astounded I asked him why he thought that and he pointed me to this website with "inconvertible proof";-

More bullshit and lies.
Tell you what, you can cryptographically prove me wrong, go on then.

Your such a liar, I really don't believe you.
Backpedaling?

"Zero cost" - meaning you will wait for hours or days for your transactions to get confirmed. You have no idea what you are talking about.
As compared to what? Credit cards that take 60 days? Or paypal perhaps that can claw money back from you months later?
Your IP address (with timestamp) is about as anonymous as your physical address to the government, and that's permanently recorded in the blockchain.
No it isn't.
Seriously, you have no idea what you are talking about, why comment?

The sender is liable for damages?
If the sender removes the peanut warning label and intends to do harm, yes.
Seriously, what a stupid question, think about it before you just start typing shit that comes into your head.

Well duh.... the person is not even trying to say anonymous in that case.
Fortunately you don't want pay your amazon goodies anonymously and don't add an deliver address.
Step back a bit and make sure what you are saying makes sense.
.........Even bitcoin...............

I use bitcoin.

Yeah, don't let the facts
What facts?
I wasn't insulting your grammar, you were.
Very rarely have I seen a slashdot troll call himself a "ignorant retard" though, it could be a first. Congratulations.
"Your the uneducated one."
YOUR and YOU'RE.
/facepalm
You said that not me. I was just polite enough not to divert into your bad grammar.
Sorry, you're right, I forgot to add baseless ad hominem to the list. (you may need to look it up)
They are easy to spot, they include mentions of beanie babies, tulips and lists of "FACT"'s.
Heard of the Infinite monkey theorem? Here is a link;-

Still makes them monkeys though.
Strangely enough no one has managed to win that bet.
Probably something to do with him being the only judge he deems fit to decide if he is wrong or not.

I want to know where my €9.000:-/month for life is for lying about it?
But yeah, like I said, conspiracy theorists are gullible.
