Pretty fucked, bud. I was talking to my wife about this recently. We would be nearly hopeless without it.

Itโ€™s our only hope for uncrouptable sound money

Whatโ€™s infinity minus 2?

21,000,000

Glad I made the right choice ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

Bitcoin is uniting the world

A lot!

๐Ÿ˜ข

Asking for a friend, right?

I mean just in a general sense.

Does this have anything to do with the ensuing spam war going on?

No, more like every other kind of war.

Yeah, that too.

Most people tend towards infinity.

If there was no bitcoin most of us wouldn't even know we're fucked ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

I think we would know, we would just have no other option but to collect shiny scraps of metal.

right

More fucked than we are now, but probably not so bad, because if not Bitcoin, something similar would have been invented in its place.

Iโ€™m not sure I agree with that unless you believe that bitcoin was always inevitable. It seems almost implausible that it would have happened without all of the trial and error of economic radicals, cypherpunks, and psychopaths who caught on and carried the torch.

That's basically what I'm saying, the economic situation around that time, the cypherpunks...all that would still be there. So perhaps something similar to bitcoin would have been delayed by a few years, but it's basically inevitable. Similar to the rise of the machines in the Terminator franchise.
