Ok this is what happened .. I wanted to join a pay download site however they would not accept debit card or bank transfer you had to pay in Bitcoin 59$ US.
I rang a local company whose blurb said they were experts in such things, the dude answered the 'phone said "yeah no worries, you will be able to pay in BC however the minimum transaction is 2000$."
Reasoning I wanted to purchase from a separate site whence the amounts involved were much higher I said ok. So into town I go and finish up with a BC "wallet" totaling 1996$, when I got back home I checked it all and could not make head nor tail of the system.
I brought a computer tech in who told me over the phone he could "get it done," he was here for three hours and I paid him 1250$ .. he transferred the contents to "Blockchain" using a program called "Coin Wallet," so I finished up with two unwanted items on my desktop.
Thus for a 59$ payment I outlayed 3246$, where it will end I don't know however the whole thing reeks of entrapment, "they" know very well the average guy or girl doesn't have the computer skills to get the whole thing to run smoothly.
The actual download site has counters on their files, I was the single downloader on at least one file that had been up for about a year.
He probably made a lot of money off the BTC boom which is good for him, and I usually like Molynuexs content however he's just plain wrong about the actual utility you can get from crypto and he only made money because it was used as a speculators market.
Come to my house to exchange coins. No, no it's okay, I don't mind waiting 2+ hours for the exchange to process.
Not that's there much left to exchange anyways, about 10 people own 80% of all BTC and the government is it's biggest backer, but don't look into that!
Oops, the central server went down and now your currency is dead.
Yeah, it's really the way of the future all right. Give me a fucking break.
You evangelizing a speculators market for profit does not give BTC any actual utility.
Yes people made money off it, there is also millionaires built on snake oil. This might look like gip gallosh but no, cryptocurrency just had that many fucking problems.
