    Blockchains are not the product. Wallets are not the product. 10000 TPS are not the product.

    Remember when there were 99 versions of mp3 players and everyone thought the path to adoption was larger hard drive space and better mp3 ripping tools and cheaper devices, when what was actually necessary was an expensive stupid-simple huge device that let the least technical people use an mp3-like format?

    this is where crypto is right now. the community is too focused on concepts like wallets and generation 3 coins and decentralized whatever instead of organizing what can be done once a person holds coins.

    where is the simple stupid marketplace? it doesn't exist.

    the idea of wallets and private keys are bullshit. think about how scary that is to a normal person. I'm sorry, that's never going to happen! get your heads out of your github asses.

    think about it like your points card at Target. how many points do you have? how do you spend them? isn't that a pain in the ass? it's bullshit

    how do you get to the point where things are self-evident for normal folks?

    designers. designers. designers.

    where are the top User Interface and Usability designers?

    Who is doing an ICO and stealing the best UI teams away? NOBODY

    I can't stand Jobs but he got one very important thing right: The user interface is the product.

    Mainstream adoption starts when it stops requiring an explanation

    parting thought: when a site adds a method to pay with bitcoin, that's not "adoption". that's compatibility. adoption is when its added and there's a ton of people using it because its way more useful and not a novelty. Despite my fluency in crypto I still feel like I have to power up a hamster wheel in the back of my mind even if there is a bitcoin checkout option, and that's exactly the problem.

    So no one else finds it a bit odd that Verge is actually going up in price in a bear market, after a hack attack, after being outed for paying McAfee to promote it, and after the 1 developer begged for money from his own community to allegedly help pay his taxes?

    Posted: 08 Apr 2018 06:20 AM PDT

    First off, before I begin... Verge is a shitcoin.

    What problem does it solve better than any of the top 10, what is it's purpose, and why is it worth what it is worth?

    If you can't answer these questions honestly, then it is in fact... a shitcoin.

    Now, besides all that, the coin was literally hacked last week, and the price of it was actually still going up... in a fucking bear market. Now come on, even if you jerk off to this coin, and spread its greatness all around the interwebs, even you have to admit that it's a bit fucking suspicious right?

    Then, the sole developer, living in his moms basement, allegedly, with a bit too much hair on his neck, allegedly, has the ball to tell his community, that he will release news on the "biggest partnership in cryptocurrency history" if... you give him millions of dollars.... to pay his taxes... allegedly.

    And then he goes ahead, and changes the big announcement date to the 17th of April, which so happens to be the exact day all United States taxes are due... coincidence?

    I mean I wish I was making this shit up people, but are people really this fucking dumb, or is the developer actually being trolled himself, and these so called investors are actually just 4Channers waiting to pump and dump this thing like nothing ever seen before?

    That's the only explanation I could come up with, that or the whole thing is being manipulated by team McAfee, hence the original push... what say you guys?

    Since Monero hard forked the other day, its network hash rate has been significantly reduced, going from over 1 GH/s to ~157 MH/s. This is proof that Monero's network has been comprised of mostly ASICs silently running in the background, and not botnets.

    TIL Coinbase has a Visa Debit Card Accepted Everywhere and it Only Took 5 Minutes to Sign Up

    Posted: 08 Apr 2018 03:20 PM PDT

    So everyone was always on my case about not being able to spend crypto, crypto isn't accepted anywhere etc. The typical criticisms of Bitcoin and so on. First of all, in my city there are actually a decent portion of businesses accepting digital currency.

    Then I found out about the SHIFT card that just connects to your Coinbase and you can spend it from there. Now I can just comfily hold and transfer money from my wallet anytime I need to spend without waiting for a Coinbase cashout or something along those lines.

    I felt the need to post this on /r/cryptocurrency because Coinbase does not do a good job of advertising this on their website. If more people were seen using the SHIFT card in real life, it would certainly take away some of the stigma of talking, using, investing in crypto.

    Probably going to tweet about this too tbh fam. Spread the word if you like REAL mainstream adoption - a common complaint is that it isn't "really" using crypto if it converts to fiat - but I think the mental barrier of believing in crypto as real money would need to break first, then people will say "well how can I cut out the middleman (fiat)?"

    Just a thought!
