Ok imagine if you put the universe into a cardboard roll and cut it in half. You’d be left with about half right? That’s kind of like Bitcoin.

>> No.23849702

It’s just a convoluted block cypher. It’s not particularly innovative in the cryptographic sense.
But the fact it rolls its transactions into an immutable ledger is what makes it a neat asset.

Still garbage as a standard for cryptocurrency.

It’s like a digital coin stored on your hard drive and a mysterious woman named Satoshi Nakamoto sends the coins to people randomly every day kind of like the lottery. No one knows who Satoshi is or how/why she creates the coins and sends them to people.

There’s lots of people that don’t even believe in Satoshi or bitcoins at all.

Of course there’s a bunch a copy cat Russian scam artists claiming to be Satoshi like some Russian freak named Vitaly Butaine and a fatass named Segio Nazareth...but they’re obvious Russian scammers.

I wouldn’t worry about it. You have a better chance of winning the powerball than getting a Bitcoin.
