Its not as if somebodies coins will suddenly become worthless.
Bitcoin has a lot of actors. Users, investors, miners, exchanges, shops... And everybody will have some hassle with a fork.
Just like on the WWW where there are webmasters, webdesigners, users, browser vendors, shops... And every has some hassle with browser compatibility.
The current situation reminds me a lot of the time when Firefox replaced Internet Explorer as the most popular browser. And of the time when Chrome replaced Firefox as the most popular browser.
Currently there is only one Bitcoin implementation. And the developers a) refuse to implement what users want. And b) implement bloat that users dont't want.
So Bitcoin will "break up" in a similar way the WWW "broke up" when new browsers were introduced.
It's a good thing.
Ah, so they dont tackle the US at all? Why that? Surprising that I hear so much about them regardless.
I wonder where people buy Xiaomi devices. They are not on Amazon. We run a large website about phones and sell other brands all day via affiliate programs. But never were able to find one via which we can sell Xiaomi phones.
If it would be a browser based solution, the number of people who try it would be 1000x higher.
Its not periods. It is always like that. I almost never reach out to anybody. I just work on my projects. Its common for me to not speak to anybody for one or several weeks.
Your assessment is right. Triggering attraction is easy for me. And creating rapport is hard. Unbelievably hard. I read about it many times. And I understand it on a logical level. But my brain always snaps back into the loop "1: Demonstrate Value 2: Goto 1".
Lately I try to simply keep quiet more. Because usually I talk a lot. I always have so much ideas to talk about. It helps a bit. But not to the extend that people and I become friends.
Will try to use "we" and see if that helps.
I did that a couple of times. It helped me to understand myself and others a bit better.
Thanks, this is probably good advice. People have an image of me that I am living a perfect life. With no problems at all. Little do they now, that I endure a situation they would consider hell.
I have a strong tendency to paint myself as bigger and better then I am. And to hide my problems.
Another problem is that I always think everybody should worship me and my big ideas. And forget about those boring little things they do themselves. This I find particularly hard to tackle. Because I really find it unbearable boring what most people do and think.
This title speaks to me, because lonely and creative are two of my main traits. I created so many projects, mostly startups, that people often can hardly believe it. Some of these have been successful, so I am leading an financial independent life. People constantly say that my work is based on unbelievable creativity. Yet, I am completely isolated.
With people, it just does not work. In no setting. Love, friends, business, family - you name it. I do not have a single person I am close with. The strange thing is - even though I consider myself very smart - I never was able to figure out why. People just disappear. Do not have time for me. Do not call me back. When I ask them straight away "is it because I am a somehow unpleasant person?" they say stuff like "No, I was just busy. And I am still busy. Bye.". I wonder if I will ever find out, what the underlying cause is.
