Demand != number of people. For example, you can get twice the demand from the same number of people if they decide to invest more.

He understood his argument just fine.

Or maybe it's you the one who can't read it properly? Else explain to me what he meant by this: "PHP made it very easy for a lot of people to do something with the web, something that otherwise they might not have been able to do"

The same happens with everything, some people just choose to be ignorant. Another good example of this is the irrational hate Bitcoin gets.

That's not what he's saying. He's basically saying that it's 0K to use PHP if you can't use anything else because you are not smart enough. And you won't even achieve great things, you will barely be able to build something.

PHPers like me know very well this kind of trolling (after years of suffering it), but we are also way above it already. Sometimes we want to reply, but then we remember that this trolling is born from bitterness and lack of success, so we just let it be.

Says the Google employee...

I want to add that we actually get cancer all the time (like, every day), but our bodies kill it successfully. That's why people with AIDS or bad nutrition get more cancer: they are not able to fight it anymore.

One is a derivative or subcomponent of the other I think. Someone who still remembers his Chemistry class is welcome to elaborate.

I was wondering the same thing.

Unintentionally. It was a bug, but now dogecoiners are claiming it was designed that way by geniuses, like they always do.

What do you mean "liquid"? I hear this a lot from Americans, who don't understand the concept of decimals and units based on powers of ten.

Dogecoiners will try to stay afloat with whatever "feature" they can come up with, even if it's the result of a bug.

Those weren't the original rules. Their development team made a mistake and the inflation problem was introduced. Bitcoiners warned them about this, they didn't listen.

A dogecoin joke? Are you serious? Bitcoiners have been screaming to the moon for years. But now it's doge's joke? Is there anything else you want to copy without improvement?

Yes it also requires installing something, forget it. I'm not gonna install backdoors in my machine.

It's not incredibly elegant, it's just dumb. Would you say Infinitecoin was genius too? And it's mostly just an American problem (no wonder it exploded in Reddit, where the majority are American), since you guys are taught to use weird units, and all of you struggle trying to understand mBTC and uBTC which are simply powers of ten. Creating a new currency changing only the unit used and adding a funny picture of a dog is not genius, and saying such thing is an insult to the technology and its creator.

Micro-payments were not enabled by the cryptocurrency itself. They were enabled by the bitcointip bot (or doge or whatever), since they are off the blockchain, so nothing special was needed for this, just your usual centralized system. And if a Bitcoin clone enables microtransactions, it's because it's not big enough and doesn't need to worry about dust/spam transactions yet.

As usual, dogecoiners don't understand the first thing about their own currency. They think "more coinz is better because microtransactions". I can't believe so many people have trouble grasping the concept of decimals.

If you are talking solely about Reddit tips, the reason you see more Doge is because the bitcointip bot has been banned from basically every subreddit. And Bitcoin tips were worth real money, not imaginary points (the usual tip is 20 doge. Seriously? I could tip with Bitcoin every comment I read if I'm going to be such a cheap bastard), and usually spawned long threads explaining what Bitcoin is, the blockchain, etc. Doge tips are accompanied with dog talking and funny pictures. And then we have to withstand the "technical" arguments for how Doge will surpase Bitcoin, oh god, please kill me.

It's funny how each new copycoin tries to compare itself with Bitcoin, and assume Bitcoin will become a thing of the past. Every single copycoin does the same. Both Litecoin and Dogecoin users said "Bitcoin paved the way for Litecoin/Dogecoin". Now look at the Litecoin guys. They are starting to see how little value they added, and now that other coins like Doge did the same, their value is starting to get diluted and will probably just die eventually. The same will happen with Quark, Dogecoin, Shitcoin, etc.

And don't get me started with the obnoxious doge tips. If the tips are worth less than a penny keep them to yourself please.

No, that's due to web devs tying the functionality of the website to tracking services. I don't remember the last website that didn't have any tracking services, most of them have many. But that alone doesn't break the Javascript when using Ghostery, let alone the CSS. I haven't analyzed this particular website, but it would typically be that they did everything wrong, like loading the CSS via JS, or that kind of weird things web devs like to do these days, that only works fine if you give up on your privacy and security entirely.

Is this website the result of your crazy iterations?

Not a millionaire in USD because even though I did hear about Bitcoin very early and I did think "That's a great idea!!!" (I was lucky enough to have studied a bit of cryptography just before hearing about Bitcoin), I wasn't able to buy much because I live in a country that suffers one of the very problems Bitcoin was created to fight (capital controls). Using my laptop to mine was out of question, losing it would have meant also losing my job and become homeless, so it wasn't a risk I could afford to take. Having said that, I'm way wealthier than I could have expected to be at my age and general situation, thanks to Bitcoin.

Litecoin wasn't a great idea, just a copycoin. It wasn't even innovative on the scrypt part, they just copied Tenebrix and changed the branding. So it's the same crap as Dogecoin.

Namecoin is a great idea, and we definitely need to decentralize the web, but I don't see it taking off soon.

Whether a copycoin's price goes up a lot or not does not tell us anything about whether it was a great idea or not. You seem confused on that part.

"The idea such a thing as bitcoin, from an anonymous dev, somehow reaching $1,000 each is "absurd""

That's not absurd at all. Might be absurd to you if you are absurd though or not good at Math, like lots of other humans apparently are.

Yeah he shouldn't be getting married now, he should be following the ToS of some website.

Lybia, Iran and Iraq. This topic comes up every day, and every day someone who doesn't know history will show "skepticism". I don't have a copy/pasteable text in hand, and I'm not gonna write one from scratch. Just learn some history please, for the sake of mankind.

> What about copyright and regional distribution restrictions?

Sounds like the kind of problems centralized services always run into.

Uh, every invasion of a country or coup/assassination in the last decades?

You forgot to mention Stealth Address ;)

I guess you haven't heard of Stealth Addresses.
