The day is coming when services that ask you to trust them to accept/handle/store your cryptocurrency will no longer be competitive.
@mark_a_phelps save some for me!
@matthewmascioni @flyosity Why says it’s can’t be a worthwhile joke?
@carlhancock @flyosity If you store cryptocurrency in an online wallet, it’s not your wallet. It’s someone else’s & they let you use it.
@flyosity the more things change, the more they stay the same…
In 17 days /r/dogecoin has amassed more subscribers than /r/litecoin has in 2 years. wow. such community. much generosity. many shibes.
@drewpotential And they could pay you in digital pennies with cryptocurrency via your local wi-fi hotspot.

@EUGeneFreeman @UkAlpha Mining any cryptocurrency these days is a huge risk due to surges in interest / difficulty. Less risky to buy coins.
@EUGeneFreeman Note that the mining calculations I made there assume NO DIFFICULTY increase, which is stupidly optimistic.
@EUGeneFreeman A very risky gamble. @UkAlpha doesn’t want you to know that they’re selling unprofitable equipment. pic.twitter.com/DnqkAND253
@EUGeneFreeman @UkAlpha Don’t trust these folks with your hard earned money.
@UkAlpha LOL you noobs really inspire confidence selling your overpriced and underpowered “ASICs.”
@maxkeiser I think it’s time for you to weigh in on Dogecoin - it is a phenomenon unto itself. Most upbeat crypto community I’ve seen.
@johnjoseph Shoulda started off with a Dogecoin pitch.
There’s a category on Jeopardy tonight called “Athletic Cups” TROLOL
I laughed when I initially heard about Dogecoin, but the Dogecoin community has done more in a month than Litecoin has in years. Impressive.

@averyj So I looked into Dogecoin and FYI, you shouldn’t buy /any/ ASICs for mining it. Dogecoin is Scrypt-based, Bitcoin ASICs won’t work.
@jefft I’ve noticed both upstream & downstream quite diminished on my Bitcoin node, though bandwidth tests max out. Something stinks, @TWC
@emilepetrone nah, I just wanna shoot stuff and make it prettier rather than uglier for a change.
