I just don’t get bitcoin. I’ve been perusing reddit.com/r/Bitcoin for a number of months: every other thread is “Don’t use XXXXX as a bitcoin wallet-- they’re a scam!” “Don’t use this software-- it’s a scam!” “My bank won’t let me use bitcoin.” “My bank just cancelled my account.” "My HDD was lost/stolen/crashed/compromised-- all my BTC gone :(" Not to mention that bitcoin is the exclusive currency of drug dealers and ransomware thieves.
And i still just don’t get how, if my bitcoin is a number, why there isn’t a race condition if someone else uses my bitcoin after they sell it to me. Also, the whole thing about how no one knows who the actual inventor of Bitcoin is. (How is that even possible?) Way too “Mr. Robot” for me.
