CEO had probably read some fake bullshit on LinkedIn...

In Germany, we have a guy Wallraff, who gets a job at Burger King with a fake identity every few years, just to uncover hygiene scandals every time... Reminds me of that... Nowadays, no one seems to care anymore...

F*ck AI... Can we please invent cryosleep, so that we can skip the next 50 years of this timeline and wake up when it's over without aging?

Let's make a fake referendum like the one on Crimea...

Please tell me where I (or anyone) wrote "Bitcoin provides stability" without comparing it to another currency....

I assume, arguing with you is an endless circle where you argue against fake arguments that no one has brought up. I'll therefore end this here. Why are you like this?

Turkey's currency dropped 83% in the last 5 years and 94% in 10 years (per USD). And by the way: It dropped and did not rise the same amount ever again...

Why can't we just agree that different people might have different views whether it's useful for them?

Is it more stable compared to USD? No. Is it more stable compared to dozens of other currencies? Yes.

I think, there are very good arguments against BTC, for example the energy consunption... But whether it's too risky for you or not... That's highly subjective IMO. There is no country on this planet with only BTC as official currency. So, no one is forced to hold 100% of their total money in BTC.

I think, whether it's helpful is an individual decision. E.g. for people in Turkey, it's a lot more stable than their own currency. Same logic for probably dozens of other countries...

Maybe, it's not useful for you, but that's OK. No one is trying to replace your currency with it and force you to use it.

Short reminder that Bitcoin was created as a reaction on the world finance crisis and to allow people like Assange to receive donations, because PayPal and similar just blocked them...

That does not mean that Botcoin is perfect, but: If the alternative system was perfect, there was not bitcoin.

Now, do we need an emoji? I don't care TBH..

Hello, is this the Qatar water park support line? I'm stuck on level 17 in the north east block. People are piling up behind me. Get us out of here!

Reading "ambulance is free" is still crazy for my European mind. ===> "Of course it is... If the driver asks you for money, we'd put them in jail for years."

Excuse me, but if they advertise that they don't give others your exact location (only a larger radius), I expect that to be true and that an extremist can't use a dating app to track down gay people to their home address.
