    I gave up trying to spread the word that is crypto to the non believers. Just like everything else worth discovering, they have to want to learn.

        Now this makes me lol. I mined some coin in a lost wallet when the century was single digits. Admitadely it seemed need but I ddi not get it. It creates value by flushing energy down the toilet for no useful work and is programed to reguire more energy for the resource which while fiat currency has little behind it like taxes and militaries. bitcoin has nothing behind it because the energy was already wasted and otherwise its just code. Not even paper. On top of it since its programed as a pyramid scheme investment it does not even work properly as a currency. Gridcoin does because its value is reflected in the work the envergy does and don’t get me wrong the distributed ledger has potential that has not really been utilized yet (or is utilized so well im not notcing it). Believers in crypto are just that. Folks that understand it laugh at it. Its funny how you can replace jesus with crypto in tha phrase and it fit perfectly like what a christian might say to an athiest:

        “I gave up trying to spread the word that is jesus to the non believers. Just like everything else worth discovering, they have to want to learn.”

          Wow. You have set a record for amount of dumb shit in one comment.

          You sound salty that you missed out. You haven’t. BTC, et al isn’t a ponzi or a pyramid, it’s actually more fair of a system than fiat.

          I could give you a list of projects with real teams and communities behind them but I don’t think you would appreciate it so I won’t.

          Have a nice day now.
