Mining is part of the protocol. 6.25 new bitcoin are created for coming up with the hash of the block with the most leading zeros. What's your proposal for a decentralized protocol? Someone has to put transactions in a block in such a way that we all can agree upon. >his made-up money is entirely dependent on other fake fiat monopoly money (US Dollar & Euro). Good luck buying food and ammo with fake 0's and 1's. hahahahaha It depends on where you live and who you do business with. Understand that 95% of banker created dollars are digital. >every new coin is literally printing more monopoly money out of thin air and you fools actually pay them for it because it has a bullshit social media story and colorful cutesy logo. The difference there is new crypto doesn't already have value. Us dollars already have value. New crypto has to compete for people to give it value--as all currency should. >it's all a straight up ponzi scheme and smooth brains are falling for it all over the place. A ponzi scheme is when someone promises you returns based on some business model when in fact they are just giving you the money of new investors. There is no such promise with crypto. Each crypto could do well or it could fail. Everyone knows this. There is no fake business model they are selling--I mean I'm sure some do but that's not the case with bitcoin. Far, far, far worse is a central bank run by jews that creates all your money within it's system (commercial banks supposedly create most of the dollars), getting rich while watering down your money. You're literally using your enemy's money which by the way, is nothing but 0's and 1s. By the way, hopefully you know you don't have to use kike dollars to buy ammo and food nor do you have to "invest" in bitcon. USE it to buy food and ammo then go right back to dollars if you like. The more people we can get to accept it the sooner we get the jew off our backs.
