How much time have you wasted on it?
Is your per hour rate higher than minimum wage?
How do you feel about all those people you've lured into this fraud where they'd lose their money?Comment

Blockchain may live, but let's be honest here - you guys only give a tulip because tulipcoin goes up and up, get rich quick and all that.
For someone not interested in or a believer of crypto you're spending an awful lot of time and attention on it. Just to give you a 2017 perspective:

Incoming Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said the cryptocurrency market is not big enough to make a critical difference to the mainstream economy yet, but said the agency is monitoring cryptocurrencies “very carefully.”
During his Senate testimony Tuesday, Powell said watching bitcoin’s recent price volatility was “something that’s actually enjoyable and interesting to do.” But he suggested that bitcoin enthusiasts do not have much to worry about from the agency in the short-term. In this respect, Powell’s approach is similar to that of outgoing Fed chair Janet Yellen, who asked representatives from 90 central banks to study financial innovation, especially bitcoin and blockchain.Last edited by Jog On; 2 December 2017, 19:13."Is someone you don't like allowed to say something you don't like?

Originally posted by AtW View PostNo, it's NOT much cheaper, not much safer, not more private.
But it's the only way criminals can in effect exchange money bypassing money laundering laws, which is why it got picked up in the first place and later by cretins who thought to jump onto bandwagon and make a quick buck.
You want evidence? Tulipcoin already can't handle confirmations fast, at best I believe it's 10 minutes wait, and that's super lucky and if you pay through the nose, transaction confirmation costs only growing on tulipchain.
As I've said before, there are other cryptocurrencies that handle transactions much faster than Bitcoin.
You just keep highlighting Bitcoin shortcomings as if this problems haven't been solved by other coins.Comment
