Comment on OpenAI needs to raise at least $207bn by 2030 so it can continue to lose money, HSBC estimates
mirshafie@europe.pub 23 hours agoBitcoin is a pyramid scheme. I mined bitcoin in the early days when you could literally make 1 whole bitcoin in two weeks. The next two weeks I mined 0.3 bitcoins. That’s when I realized that it was a scam.
It’s not about facilitating peer-to-peer transactions like its proponents claimed. It’s about creating a huge money store. The more we use it the more inefficient it gets.

Bitcoin particularly is a pyramid scheme, but peer-to-peer payments via block chains are useful anyway.
I got theories on what would make a better token than BTC, but key to any utility would be little or no deflationary pressure.
