<sixto> what is bitcoin anyway
<Monobrow> deserves a y in there
<maybeeilios> it's like if you take a coin
<maybeeilios> and then bit it up
<Monobrow> I would pay bitcoins to see bleck go off on someone about how stupid their bitcoin religion is
<maybeeilios> then get a bunch of angry neckbeards to declare it the greatest thing to happen to the economy
<Tensei> sixto imagine being 8 years old again and grabbing a bunch of leaves with your friends and pretending that its paper money
<Tensei> that is what bitcoins are
<Prot> then the adults come and tell you to knock it off
<sixto> wow
<Prot> thats the future of bitcoin right there
<maybeeilios> tensei is almost right, he just forgot the part where you go into a candy store and assume they will take the leaves as currency and get angry when they don't
<Tensei> yeah
* FireSlash`Work has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
<Tensei> and then theorize that if the candy store would accept leaves it would be a real currency
<Monobrow> but your neighbor with a huge basement and lots of lollypops will definitely take bitcoins
<Monobrow> basically what I am saying is bitcoin is pedocurrency
<maybeeilios> and then one of your friends gets a ladder and starts stripping every tree and spending all his time on getting leaves in case they become real currency
<Tensei> this is a good metaphor
