              How is it not? They take a part of every fucking payment. Jesus Christ would not like it at all.

                You mean like every company that charges a fee? That’s not a scam, that’s called business. Jesus Christ it’s like people want everything for free and don’t understand that it costs money to run a business. Credit cards charge interest, your bank charges fees, businesses price stuff over their cost. That farmer you pay for their vegetables charges more then it cost them to produce. These aren’t scams. They are the cost of having services and good provided to you.

                  How much is the fee? Because last I checked it was not like an etransfer (included in most banking plans).

        You don’t need to trust bitcoin because one of the fundamental principles of it is trustlessnes. the only problem I see is constantly changing price of bitcoin

          And the immense resources required as well as the processing time for a transaction.

          Now I’m not saying someday a digital currency won’t work. Just it isn’t Bitcoin, plenty of other more viable coins but most people just gamble now.

            I think Bitcoin was a good proof of concept that this system can work and scale. Ethereum is trying to be the viable option. I personally like Monero. I am sure in a hundred years or so if crypto is still here, it will be more viable and stable.
