And don’t reply with some dodging vague noise as you always do.

Lol!

You're a funny guy, newbly. And you just confirmed my suspicions that you don't have a clue of what you're talking about.

But maybe you could buy one with bitcoin.

G'nite newbly...

Diaper boy, what happened? You were supposed to show you are more than and dumb enduser button clicker?

Diaper boy, you said “CMTLabs sounds about as flaky as you”.
Explain that in detail from your vast store of understanding. Explain to everyone the factual errors in their statement. But let me guess, you will dodge and weave and just post emojis like some elementary school girl texting on her phone with her friends.

Right now I'm watching one of two buy orders about to be filled, and heading to bed after that. So, do your own research, newbly.

Maybe tomorrow I'll leave another clue about the Easter Egg you missed. In the meantime, keep looking. :)

"...buyer be ware"

That goes without sayin', of course. Surely most reading these pages are mature enough to realize this.

Distributed ledger technology is new. Time will prove its usefulness. Like all new technology it will have its growing pains, its doubters, its enthusiasts and promoters.

I've been "messing" with it for a decade now. I've watched it grow through many trials and tribulations. Many naysayers have come and gone. Many of those, like newbly, haven't a clue about what they're talking about. Don't own it and have never used it.

One of the smartest humans to have ever lived, Einstein, once said there were two things in this world which are infinite. One is the universe, the other is human stupidity. He added that he wasn't too sure about the universe being infinite, tho.

When I see how far we fallen here in the US in the last few decades, and how we opposed new technology, invention, risk, waste time, grow lazy, turn our backs to god, I think about Einsteins words, and about how right he was, once again.

Thank God there are still a few who have vision, energy, and a spirit for adventure. Its those I look to for restoring my faith in humanity.

And it's those who will lead the way for the next 1,000 years.

Einstein, once said technology makes people stupid in many ways he was right.

Albert Einstein said "I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots."

He was right.

What our civilization is failing to do in mass is to stay "on-top" of technology. We've grown lazy, failed to teach young properly, and allowed the government to look out for us instead of looking out for ourselves.

What we now use for "money" is a prime example. It's growing more worthless every day. Its technology is backward, corrupted, and doesn't offer protection in times of calamity. Yet we cling to it.

If something should happen to our economic system (a crash), it will cause major societal disruptions and lead to many thousands, if not millions dying.

It would be better to go back to what the everyday person used at the turn of the 20th century, silver and gold coins and certificates, than these Debit Notes we use today.

It's been proven time after time not even the most well thought out government can be trusted to act as a third party, much less a privately held bank such as the Federal Reserve.

That ought to be worth a satoshi!
