I've seen many threads about it but could never understand it at all. My wife read an article about mining them, and she thinks it's like a created matrix. And like they're spending unlimited resources to make some concocted Monopoly money system. We really don't get EXACTLY WHAT is being mined. To me it seems much ado about nothing. Anyone wish to give a short explanation ? Bitcoin for dummies. [/quote] Imagine working for something of substance say a gold coin. Wait wait wait, they took those away in 1933, or maybe a silver coin, wait wait wait, they took those away in 1972. Maybe you work for a green piece of paper with the word NOTE on it, (Note- not money but a promissory note to pay when they is money), no money since 1934 (H.R.192), now you get to work for something digital that can go away with the pull of a plug, or if you do not comply at a later date that has no intrinsic value whatsoever. It is the next level of thievery and financial control over your life, and everybody wants a piece of that bit-coin. [/quote] Well, that sounds fucking amazing. [/quote] SERIOUSLY.
