Brave has built in ad-blocking that is good to test against. One of our tools wasn’t able to submit new issues to jira because atlassian.net was being blocked by the browser.


at this point we are just arguing over semantics.


yeah, but we have ipv6 now. ipv4 was never designed to be a scarce asset, and it’s managed by a centralized authority.

XMR is one of the best cryptocurrencies. Big fan of privacy!

I’ve been holding bitcoin since 2011. Haven’t had any instances of “losing all my money without doing anything wrong”.


Because banning things only makes them more powerful… If a country bans bitcoin, then it’s putting all of it’s citizens at a global disadvantage vs other countries. There is no practical way to enforce a ban of bitcoin. You can run a node over TOR.

It’s the same concept of banning AI. Sure, a few people would stop, but the rest of the world will continue development.


This is the wild west of innovation. Scammers like money, so of course they will be attracted to cyrptocurrency. They are also very attracted to fiat currency.

All of the references on that page have to do with random NFT projects and shitcoins.

You should try to separate the concept of “Crypto” from the concept of base layer blockchain protocols that actually have value.


It’s a great place to store and hold wealth.

The concept you are describing is Gresham’s Law. https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/how-does-greshams-law-relate-to-bitcoin

Bitcoin is digital gold. Other cryptocurrencies will become used as well for basic payments. Eventually you will be able to pay cross chain so it wont even matter which coins you hold.

Free in the sense that the place I store my wealth can’t be confiscated (e.g. Cypress, Greece, etc…) or it’s value inflated away by money printing.

Bitcoin is peer-to-peer digital cash. Governments can’t ban it, that’s why they are regulating it and accepting it as a thing.


Cryptocurrency is the most efficient money we have. It doesn’t require any middle man bankers. Sure, hackers can hack and loot exchanges, but right now we have the government looting us with inflation.

The problems you mentioned are being worked on. There are ways to backup and restore your wallet that will become easy.

The global economy doesn’t need to only rely on Bitcoin, so the argument that we have to worry about deflation is just wrong.


Why do you assume I think I’m exempt from laws? I paid over $300,000 usd in taxes last year! I’m not using crypto to break laws, I’m using to to become wealthy.


I love firefox. It’s my main browser for everything. When I need a chrome based browser for testing things, Brave is my go to browser.


It’s backed by math. There is a fixed amount of Bitcoin. We have never had the concept of “digital scarcity” before. There are thousands of computers running independently that are following a consensus algorithm. it’s an open, permisionless, trustless system that anyone on the planet can be part of.

You would rather have money controlled by corrupt governments? Hilarious.


That’s not true. Fiat money is money created and managed by a government. We need separation of State and Money.

Money is a social construct that only has value because people agree it has value. Bitcoin and Ethereum are the best forms of money humans have ever invented. Once we have privacy at the base layer, fiat money is dead.


“Crytpto” is not a scam. Bitcoin and Ethereum are the future of money.

There are a lot of shitcoins out there, but don’t let them fool you into staying poor. Fiat money is dying.


The browser works well. I am very much into crytpocurrency. I think Bitcoin and Ethereum are the future of money.

You don’t need to turn on ads in Brave. It blocks ads really well.


There is nothing wrong with Brave. It’s a great browser. I like the cryptocurrency aspect of it.




People should be anonymous on the internet. An anonymous account can still have a reputation.




CCP is one of the worst governments in the world. Chinese culture is cool, but seriously fuck the pooh bear looking dictator.


When did people start tracking how many hours they play? I used to play games for hours a day. I loved getting lost in them, but I never kept track of hour many hours I spent. Now I’m a dad with a full time job, so I only get to play a little bit every once in a while. But when i get an hour to play I really enjoy it a lot!


I love apple products, and have been a mac user since the 80s, but this is just silly.



Ethereum is pretty cool too. I’m not a Bitcoin maximalist. That’s pretty much it though. the rest are shitcoins. Edit: Monero is the other good coin.


do people really not tip then expect a reaction? that’s just fucking weird.


well, there are only so many willing bodies out there. If enough people don’t tip, then word spreads quickly and people don’t want the job…


No. Bitcoin is the future of money. It really is the best form of money humanity has invented so far. People just need to stop trading shit coins.


Just the whole fact that 3rd party reddit apps like Apollo that everyone loved are dead now because of the api pricing and a bunch of people moved to lemmy. it just seemed like an ironic question.



I ordered some stuff to get delivered from Walmart, and they wanted me to tip the delivery driver! Fuck that! I’m not going to tip for that. Pay the drivers a living wage! If they don’t get tips and don’t get paid enough, then these companies just wont have drivers anymore.


26k isn’t much. my level 50 druid has over 4 million gold…
