Ok ok, so maybe it's not entirely accurate, but I think you get the point. :)
Have a Merry Christmas everyone!

SH*T UP MARGARET, THERE IS NO WAY YOU UNDERSTOOD ALL OF THAT 😂😂
ahahahaha
"Here's my credit card.." NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 😂😂
ahahahahahaahah
That was great, gonna use that for intro in my meetups
This video excellently captures the characteristics of different people approaching new technology - fans, blind followers, and skeptics sho want to know more. People should adopt the attitude of the person in the middle. Rather than digesting facts off the internet and investing with 'dumb' money, and following the crowd, they should research as much as possible before committing to any new technology. Blockchain's great, but newcomers need to do their research. Weaving through this new technology and economy will be complex as it is pinned to fast-evolving standards.
True.. Hilarious! Now it's up...now it's down... now it's up......

So true is hilarious.
This one is funny too:
Another aspect of bitcoin and other crypto-currencies that should concern us is the phenomenal energy wasted in their generation on server farms as computers work 24/7 solving cryptographic puzzles that serve no other earthly purpose but to create bitcoins by verifying previous blocks. Estimates of around 30 terrawatt-hours per year, a figure close to the total energy consumption of Bulgaria. One analyst estimates that the carbon footprint of a single bitcoin transaction is 118 kilograms of CO2, about the same as driving a car 300 miles or using all the energy in your house for four days - compared to a 50€ note that requires .025 kilowatt-hours, which is about the energy required to power a 60 watt lightbulb for half an hour. If you are an advocate for crypto-currencies as an investment, I think you also have to be very sure that they are worth the environmental cost.
Yes, you are absolutely right. Bitcoin uses lots of electricity. This is frequently repeated by people entrenched in the naysayer camp.
Have you considered the huge amount of energy consumed by traditional financial transactions. Those big bank buildings downtown. The millions of credit card machines next to millions of cash registers using electricity just waiting around for the next customer. Server farms at Visa/Mastercard/Paypal/etc.
Financial transactions require energy. True. But don't forget that it applies to government money also.
Cryptos are working on improving transaction speeds and costs. The promise of cheap solar suggests cheaper energy for everyone as we look forward into the future.
How profitable has naysaying been for you. Don't you wish you had joined the other side 6 years ago?
100 years ago there were surely people riding horses who thought cars were for fools .
Paradigm shifts are tough. Bitcoin may not be the ultimate victor, but cryptocurrency/blockchain tech is here for keeps.
Fortunately, Bitcoin has a a way of aligning incentives in the case of energy consumption. Mining is a very low margin business, because of this, we have seen a centralization of energy in areas with cheap (or even free) energy. Right now green energy (hydro, solar, wind) aren't the cheapest way of producing energy, it is still much cheaper to burn coal/natural gas, however, someday green energy will be a much more cost effective way of producing energy. When that happens we will definitely see more mining operations utilizing green energy to maximize their small margin for profits.
Cryptocurrencies allow parties to transact payments directly without a central intermediary, by means of blockchain technology that uses a shared ledger that verifies, records and settles transactions.
love it!
thanks
zz
Stuff for all the people who missed the biggest opportunity in there life to make money... Saying that the others are dumb doesnt make it better, the people who invested are the winners and the people who didn´t invest are the losers...
very good video.
the (((media))) and (((bankers))) are trying to keep a straight face while panicking....
good post, regards @mizi23
nice video shared that cause more awareness about Bitcoin.
" MERRY CHRISTMAS "
yap i get the point until it went to $3 , hahahaha but i would say most people are like margeret , they dont know anything but would not ask to find out and act smart
The video was quite funny but the point should be no, don't invest the retirement fund into Bitcoin since you can't be sure of its value over so many years - choose Steem!
Very good celebration. @jrcornel
HILARIOUS!! Thanks for posting that.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!
P.S. You have a new follower.
So much fun from the conversation but so much risk and looks like gambling with last money if someone put retirement money as he/she don't know when money will be needed. ANd when money is needed the btc price can be lower.
After Losing 40% Of Value, #bitcoin Bounces Above $14,000
