Buttcoin is pretty slow. To my understanding many other coins have already evolved past Bitcoin's slow ass speed.

Well you're talking about a technology that can obsolete VISA and MasterCard and their predatory transaction fees!. There's a lot of money riding on cryptographic currencies taking off or not.
Also consider that many peoples (me) would like to move from the older cryptocurrencies that needs lots of power to run (proof of work) and try to advocate for newer proof of stake models.
To my understanding proof of stake models have dramatically lower power requirements.
I look forward to the day VISA and MASTERCARD become obsolete! Please save my aunt's small business from predatory transaction fees. ♥
Kind of the same idea as explaining how tap your card/phone or credit cards work though.
My parents do this regularly. There are many Latino American families who regularly exchange USD to PESO and vise versa.
How does this working into Foreign Exchange? This also sounds a lot like trading USD to PESO like my aunt does...
In the United States you cannot vote for the people who issue currencies. The Federal Reserve are a bunch of privately owned banks.
That may be true. But then the transaction fees are at the mercy of the credit card company. My aunt pays 3% of all card transactions damn near. That's pretty spicy.
I can't wait for the day companies like VISA or Mastercard become obsolete. Please save my aunts small business from predatory transactions fees. ♥
Sure that number might look big. BUT YOU DON'T FEEL IT just looking at it.
And that's seven trillion right ther'. That's 7000 billion. Whew. P.S Rip Byron. We hardly knew ye.
When the Wild West was around Medicine was used as a scam too. Snake Oil salesmen aren't very nice people. But that doesn't mean medicine is a bad idea ya know?
I agree that there are a lot of snake oil sellers in the cryptographic currencies realm. But that world is basically the digital wild west at the moment to me. I too am waiting to see what happens.
