    We all stink and if not then what were we thinking 15 years ago ?

    ..

    15 years ago: If you invested $1,000 in Bitcoin in 2010,your investment would be worth about $1.62 billion.

    I have 8 bitcoins in a landfill somewhere on an old hard drive

    I should have bought $100k of PLTR at $9 when I started buying GME

    Yeah.
    2140

    According to current estimates, 99% of all Bitcoin will have been mined by 2035, but the final fraction — the last satoshis — won't be produced until around the year 2140 due to the nature of geometric reward reduction.

    smashed this, broke that, covered it up with tape and paint
    Yeah wouldn’t it be interesting if they did some sort of accountability on what still exist and what has essentially become deleted to include landfill

    That's the beauty...8 bitcoins in a landfill look just like 8 coins being diamond handed...
    I believe since the block chain is auditable...someone could probably identify the # of coins that have zero transactions in the last 10 years and assume a significant % of them are lost.

    Pretty good article about lost coins waking up

    I've always been suspicious of that. One of the biggest and most often mentioned benefits is that they can't just be made up or taken away, and are relatively traceable since it's all on blockchain. But then it makes no sense how they get lost or unaccounted for if there really is a finite amount.
    i want to like bitcoin so bad but it just seems too much like one of those things that have more and more plot holes and contradictions the more you dig

    And how the hell does the finite amount matter if you can trade with .00000654536 of one. Someone is gonna find a way to digitally clip coins with that

    You've seen a $100 dollar bill right?
    You can exchange fractions of that.
    Fractions of Stock shares...
    Gasoline is $3.989 a gallon but we only have $3.98 or $3.99 to pay that??? That's why you ALWAYS pump to $X.XX49...It rounds down and you get 0.0049 free!!!

    You do "clip coins" in a sense. It costs fraction of coins to transact. Some cryptos burn off coins to transact. Others use coins to verify transactions etc.

    If you're familiar with hashing files for authenticity, that's how the block chain works. Each block is completed and hashed and that hash value is incorporated into the next block. You can't modify any of the previous transactions without corrupting the hash value.

    People earn fractions of Crypto coins for mining the coins, hashing the block chain and verifying the hashes...
