Bitcoin is a scam based upon the cost of figuring out large prime numbers that are used in cryptography. Coins, or prime numbers, have to be mined by renting a grid of cloud computers to crunch numbers; which is an actual cost. There is a race to figure out the next prime number for the next big multi-billion dollar award. Big Cloud providers make a small fortune renting out grids of computers for profit.
Here is the scam, all prime numbers have already been figured out mathematically, and I was the person who figured it out. They stole my formula which I wanted to keep secret because it simplifies breaking cryptographic hashes. The DS married fake mining to Distributed logs for accounting to create monetary systems and pay out rewards to their own people who are given the next prime number.
My formula was stolen right out of my paper notebook. How did they know, I figured it out? The cablevision setop boxes are spy devices too, and they were monitoring me since serving on 911. I had given an elderly relative the formula to try out after we had an argument about Carl Sagan where he stated that prime numbers were one of the great mysteries of the Universe. I said to my relative, that he is either lying or they are that incompetent. That started the challenge, and in about an hour or two, she figured out all the prime numbers below 1,000 with my formula before becoming a little taxed.
The reward at the time was 1 million dollars, she told me to go get it, I explained to her why I wouldn't do it, for the sake of humanity.
>I disagree. There's always moar to be found.
That is an opinion not a fact. It is a formula, period. How far you run the formula is the question.
Now the board is hiding my message box for every reply and I have to scroll up after clicking a link, clowns.
The Holy Spirit flees deceit, and I worked even harder on that one.
