Im watching some darts ... trying to find something to put me to sleep for a pre new years eve nap

Is it a prerequisite to be an ugly muthaf**ker or just a coincidence?

Thanks for the info mate

The thing i dont really get is why is one crypto better than another? Why is this one no good? And why is IMadeUpByOwnCrypto any better?
This article explains a bit about the difference between Bitcoin and Ripple.

But who really cares? Finally a get rich quick scheme that's practically guaranteed! I'm thinking I'll take a punt on Ripple and Cardano.

Remember there's only going to be a finite number of Bitcoins ever created, so they're a limited resource! Also, there will be a finite amount of Ripple, and a finite amount of Ethereum, and a finite amount of Bitcoin Cash, and a finite amount of Litecoin, and...

They will continue to increase in value relative to supply (how many are being created) and demand (how valuable merkins believe they are). Because they have no inherent value over other currencies (except that criminals prefer to be paid in them) and are actually more volatile because no government has any control over their price, there will eventually be a slowdown as people get over the hype and FOMO dissipates.

Its been scientifically proven that the fatter and uglier you are the better you become at darts.

But the nuffie horses I bet on won't always win either. Although one just did. It's just a bit of fun.

You know who the main users and thus value them the most are? Banks! So I guess your right. They’re the biggest criminals around. They then base their value off how many people and dollars and methods their customers want to use, and pass the savings provided by crypto networks off to their shareholders... I mean customers.

Don’t think of crypto currency as currency. Think more as software
