This, flowers actually die, digital currencies like this are pretty uncharted territory at the moment. Having smartphones and being connected like we are was unthinkable 15 years ago, I say let the pioneers have some fun

yea man, stay away from investing your money, I'm sure (((they))) will be happy to keep you wageslaving and forcing to buy stupid useless crap.

You don't understand crypto. Bitcoin is just a ledger. When you "transmit" Bitcoin, all you're doing is updating a ledger.

You can "transmit" tulips across the world by updating a ledger. And hey if your have a centralized ledger, it updates instantly and doesn't take hundreds of megawatts of electricity. Tulips are BETTER than bitcoins at being transmitted.

at least it doesn't cost $15 to send a tulip to someone

at least tulips are only a momentary distraction from world hunger and poverty instead of a lifelong capitalism-enabled escapist obsession.

ive thought about it in the past. it would be funny if we could get it to just persist for more than a year without looking like the usual tulip chart everyone shows, and then we can just insta post it and say "look, we did this just to laugh at you tulip people. even this tulip shitcoin didnt boom and bust"

i mean lets be honest, itll just look like any other shitcoin over a long period of time. just up slowly.
