Cryptocurrency section

[cornerpath]

I think its time for GBATEMP to finally have A crypto currency section. Since Bitcoin and XRP is bound to blow up soon, plus seeing major companies, local shops and gas stations are setting up crypto ATMS at many locations. Also ATT just started using Bitcoin as A payment option for billing, I can already see in the near future amazon will start using crypto curreny as well. Rite now is the chance for us to start this section now since most of the world still isn't caught up on to what Bitcoin or crypto currency in general is.

Those who hold bitcoin, or any type of crypto is part of the 1%crew since society hasn't fully started using it yet. Just like with Google, the real winners were the early birds "the 1% crew" who invested early before the world knew what google was. So lets make this a reality on GBAtemp

So do you want the long answer or the short answer.

Well, long time.

But......I'm confused...you want gbatemp to make a currency? Are you informing people of crypto? I'm lost as to what you're attempting.

 

[H1B1Esquire]

those who are interested can conversate on things crypto related.

There you go.
I was going to go in the world news section, but, is it really world news now?

But this is a gaming website? Why dedicate a whole section to something completely unrelated to gaming?

 

[H1B1Esquire]

Why dedicate a whole section

Hark! For I have delivered you from this quandary! Verily, Sir, all you need do is look up and rejoice!


I tried some lines for GoT....probably better season 8 didn't want me.


I got post #8 on a gaming website

I expect bitcoin to go the way of plastic straws real soon now, the environmental damage of all that wasted electricity is going to sway popular opinion.

It would be much better if you asked if there are any crypto holders and then giving the idea to make a section dedicated to crypto.

There are plenty of people here that variously dabble in such things, or have a bit more, and we have long talked about it (here is me in 2012 https://gbatemp.net/threads/29c3-hacker-conference-in-a-little-under-a-week.339564/#post-4489262 discussing the end of year conference talks on the matter). That said sections are made around here generally if they are expected to be needed (new console or something), or because it is an obvious move (though even then there will tend to be a talk or two first). Before that we tend to have to see another more general section taken over by such topics, or for there at least to be a really active sticky thread on such matters, and we have seen neither -- it has been over a month at this point and nobody (OP included) has made a thread covering the events of the week or notable things as they happen, much less one people contribute to.

I still stand by my previous statements. EVEN in light of the last week.

why should there be a section for mostly criminals participating in the biggest pyramid scheme on the planet while jacking up the prices of video cards? the answer: there shouldn't be. And i cannot wait for this market to finally crash than that 1%crew is going to get a hard dose of reality
