Io la penso esattamente come Darkon, le vedo come un buon sistema per fare dell'exchange ad alto rischio, ma non mi passa proprio per la testa di usarli per fare acquisti, anche perche' da un giorno all'altro possono variare anche del 10% del loro valore...

Mi fa piacere che tu ci rida sopra.

Ma rimane il fatto che hai dichiarato una cosa per certa e assoluta, io ho semplicemente chiesto di darmi prova delle tue parole e tu te ne sei uscito con una battuta... peraltro mediocre.

Per cui rinnovi, con tutta la modestia che possiedo, la richiesta che ho fatto: mi linkeresti alcuni siti nei quali è possibile acquistare beni con BitCoin?

io credo che se uno non ha voglia di informarsi da solo e pretenda la pappetta pronta è giusto che continui a pensare "monopoli truffa bolla armi droga!11!!1!"...

alla fine comprendere o no le crypto è piu una questione di attitudine che altro...c'è chi oggi preferisce avere solo un vecchio telefono analogico anni 60', ognuno è libero di scegliere e le scelte personali non sono discutibili.

E no, non mi aspetto che tutti siano esperti, ma il fatto che chi NON CONOSCE l'argomento in modo completo, ogni volta si metta a postare "truffa monopoli bolla droga armi pedofili!!111!!!1!!" a caso, un tempo mi infastidiva, ora mi diverte tanto quanto sentire "l'eterno riposo" dalla D'Urso...... è una rassegnazione di cui non resta che ridere
Ecco bene, dici di poter parlare di una cosa solo conoscendola.
Spiegami cosa da valore ad una moneta Fiat e cosa la da ad una cripto.

Quando mi sarai spiegare bene ( perchè sono ignorante) come vunziona il controvalore di una moneta fiat e quello di una cripto potrei anche ricredermi, ma sono certo che la percentuale assoluta ( riferita al rapporto con la moneta realmente esistente) tra parco circolante e percentuale di utilizzo per l'acquisto di un bene tra una fiat ed una cripto pone quest'ultima molto al di sotto dell'oro.
Quindi se una cripto è usata non per pagare un bene o un servizio puoi definirla monetà?

Boh, io a sto punto preferisco il baratto

Comunque, giusto per curiosità... linkereste siti nei quali si può acquistare tramite Bitcoin, visto che molti dicono sia così facile, sicuro e immediato?
Il sistema più semplice in Italia, secondo me, è acquistando carte regalo da spendere in mille posti diversi

https://www.bitrefill.com/buy/?hl=en

L'uso monetario è molto minoritario anche perchè se uno deve dare via euro per comprare bitcoin e poi dare via bitcoin per fare la spesa, tanto vale che usi euro per fare la spesa.

Anche perchè la tendenza è quella di liberarsi prima della moneta che ha meno valore: se alla coop accettassero la moneta dello Zimbabwe preferirei fare la spesa con quella e tenermi in tasca l'euro.

Gli usi di bitcoin non sono poi o speculazione o moneta o nulla.

Bitcoin in Paesi poveri che hanno alta inflazione (Africa, Sud America) è uno strumento di difesa contro l'aumento dei prezzi, per le rimesse internazionali, per aggirare i controlli di capitali.

La gente laggiù preferirebbe il dollaro per queste cose ma il dollaro è spesso bloccato dal sistema bancario, più difficile da reperire e da far circolare (solo contanti).

Anche perche' cambiare gli euro con i bitcoin ha un costo e basta questo a renderlo svantaggioso per fare acquisti...

mi linkeresti alcuni siti nei quali è possibile acquistare beni con BitCoin?
Per esempio, almeno in un mio caso, tutta una serie di servizi/beni (si possono trovare sì nel darkweb ma anche nei più tradizionali irc, ecc.) per rendere certe tue abitudini informatiche quotidiane più sicure, più comode, più efficienti e meno perditempo, ovviamente non parlo di abitudini del tradizionale internauta e si tratta sempre di cifre estremamente esigue.

chissà perchè si finisce sempre con l'ammettere che le cripto vengono usate in dark e grey web.
L'unico vantaggio rispetto all'oro è che non lo si deve spedire, perchè similmente all'oro non è tracciabile.
secondo la mia opinione prima o poi qualcuno si renderà conto che le cripto sono tutt'altro che una moneta.
Provate voi ad affrontare una crisi come questa senza le caratteristiche della moneta fiat, oppure la naturale tendenza a sparire di un numero finito di unità ( che fine faranno quei 100 btc del wallet di Tizio morto senza avere la possibilità di lasciare ad un suo famigliare-amico il suo gruzzolo?)

I punti di forza delle cripto ( così come oggi ideate) sono anche i suoi peggiori difetti, e non ci vuole chissa cosa ad immaginare ipotetici scenari dove inevitabilmente esse spariranno o verranno semplicemente dimenticate)

Non me ne frega niente del dark, orange, green web, a me personalmente (quindi non parlo delle necessità altrui) una moneta virtuale serviva e serve prevalentemente per effettuare tutta una serie di micro-pagamenti (e cmq bitcoin è attualmente una crypto meno adatta di altre per questo, almeno finché non giungerà ln nei principali wallet) le cui tracce non appaiano nella tradizionale filiera banche/paypal/poste/cartacredito e bla bla bla, period.

non mi interessa che i pagamenti con carta di credito siano OGGI più sicuri, non lo saranno MAI come un pagamento con crypto....basta solo questo, veramente...
Quindi non esci di casa perché c'è il rischio che un meteorite ti centri? No perché parliamo di una probabilità di questo tipo eh...

Ad oggi le truffe sulle carte sono diventati quasi solo di tipo "social engineering" quindi se anche usi le cripto e metti i dati del wallett nel posto sbagliato il rischio esiste comunque.

Questa percezione del rischio è un po' la stessa di chi dice che con linux non prendi i virus. Cosa che non è mai stata vera ma semplicemente era meno percepita per via della minor diffusione.

Quote:
per non parlare della facilità e velocità di esecuzione. Quante carte danno problemi su pagamenti online, quante rotture oltre a rischi di truffa con le carte di credito, per me potrebbero sparire oggi guarda.
Nessuna. Se hai i pollici opponibili e su questo convengo che non tutti li hanno hai zero problemi. Poi che ci sia gente incapace di usare una carta ma temo lo sarebbe altrettanto con le cripto o con un bonifico concordo perfettamente ma dubito fortemente che qualcuno incapace di usare correttamente una carta di credito sia capace di usare le cripto o anche solo sappia cosa sono.

Ripeto... di cose "non in chiaro" ha parlato qualcun'altro. Anche gli Euro o i dollari sono usati dalla criminalità quindi non vedo proprio alcuna differenza. L'importante è non farne un vanto come ha fatto un utente sopra.

E io ti ripeto che sono consapevole della cosa ma è come se un minatore dicesse che invece di usare un piccone decide di minare con un bazooka. Lo puoi fare, può anche funzionare ma è sproporzionato.

Ad oggi ripeto non ha senso usare uno strumento che può avere una variazione di valore importante per comprare beni di piccolo prezzo. Ti faccio un altro esempio: se compri un biglietto della lotteria a 10€ lo useresti per pagare 10€ di pane sapendo che ogni giorno c'è un'estrazione e il biglietto è valido per sempre e a ogni estrazione potresti anche centuplicarne il valore? Io prima di spendere in cripto uso la valuta normale e solo in ultima istanza le cripto che invece vedo come un complemento del portafoglio investimenti.

Quote:
che ci sia grande speculazione è innegabile ma è profondamente sbagliato dire che è solo quello...
Invece secondo me è proprio il contrario. La funzione di "pagamento" è un ingombro inutile e potenzialmente dannoso alla reputazione dei BTC. Se fossero solo uno strumento di investimento avrebbero un valore più elevato e si sarebbero risparmiati un sacco di grane reputazionali con cui vengono attaccati.
Tanto più che ripeto è una funzione che lascia il tempo che trova.

Quote:
con quali altri strumenti puoi inviare 1 mliardo di dollari a qualcuno in modo istantaneo spendendo pochi centesimi di euro???
E ancora una volta sbagli per questo è uno degli aspetti negativi. Su spostamenti del genere dovrebbe SEMPRE esserci controllo. Spostare un miliardo di dollari non è un'operatività normale e sana. Nella migliore delle ipotesi e ripeto migliore sei un fondo di speculazione che fa una operazione allo scoperto o insider trading e non vuoi far vedere dove stai per colpire. Questi non sono aspetti a favore... questi sono i difetti delle cripto. Il fatto che ti sembri una cosa "ganza" è perché non percepisci la pericolosità di poter spostare somme del genere senza che vi siano controlli e tutele. Tanto più che operazioni del genere di sicuro non sono a vantaggio del comune mortale come posso essere io o te o chi legge qua.

Mi spiace doverti dire che questi sono tutti tuoi pareri personali..ti rispondo sparso e in breve giusto per educazione, non è mio interesse farteli cambiare

- Io se posso non usare la carta di credito sono contento....e ho usato più volte le crypto per pagare, è stato molto comodo...nessun bazooka

- La mia ragazza e anche miei amici spesso hanno problemi con carte tipo postepay oppure carte estere.....le carte di credito possono dare MOLTI problemi....personalmente mi ricordo una volta in cui volevo comprare un computer abbastanza costoso e non ho potuto con quella carta specifica perchè per aumentare i limiti di spesa auguri....

- Non hai detto nulla sul fatto che con le azioni normali, anche volendo, non si potrebbe pagare nulla.

- Non hai risposto alla cosa più importante e che dovrebbe se non altro farti mettere in dubbio alcuni dei tuoi pareri: In quale altro modo potresti mai mandare un miliardo di dollari a qualcun altro istantaneamente e spendendo pochi centesimi di euro???


Detto ciò io non voglio convincerti, non mi interessa...e francamente non credo proseguirò neanche nel discorso se ricevero la solita risposta che ignora completamente quelli che sono DATI DI FATTO!

Ok. Quindi domani se vieni da me a comprare qualcosa e facciamo una lotteria con +/-10% sul prezzo del bene che compri non avrai niente in contrario giusto? Ripeto io non voglio essere pro o contro per partito preso o dire che non ci sono negozi che accettano BTC è ovvio che ci sono. Quello che dico io è che non vedo la convenienza in questo momento storico di usare BTC per comprare beni. Se leggi anche altri utenti che da sempre parlano bene di BTC sono concordi su questo ma perché ripeto è un'operazione inefficiente ed è un fatto. Io non sono mai stato uno che in senso metaforico, verrà a metterti una pistola alla testa per fare come dico io per me se vuoi comprare con BTC puoi farlo figurati... per me puoi anche accendere il camino con gli Euro ma rimane un'operazione che finanziariamente è inefficiente.

Quote:
- La mia ragazza e anche miei amici spesso hanno problemi con carte tipo postepay oppure carte estere.....
Ma che discorsi... ora mi tiri fuori l'immondizia delle carte. È come se mi dicessi che hai problemi con le auto perché hai comprato un'auto di terza mano, di una sottomarca sconosciuta con 300.000Km e quindi condanni tutte le auto. Se la tua ragazza si prende una carta non dico di quelle esagerate ma semplicemente una VISA classic i problemi non li ha più. Tanto più che hai citato carte prepagate che sono tutt'altra cosa.

Quote:
le carte di credito possono dare MOLTI problemi....personalmente mi ricordo una volta in cui volevo comprare un computer abbastanza costoso e non ho potuto con quella carta specifica perchè aumentare i limiti di spesa auguri....
Fare una telefonata alla tua banca era un problema? Aumentare un plafond di una carta di credito è una cosa fa 5 minuti, non è prevista nemmeno l'istruttoria credito. Se poi invece mi stai confondendo carte di credito e prepagate il discorso cambia ma allora si torna al punto uno... se prendi un prodotto di pessima qualità non è che tutta la categoria è di pessima qualità è che hai scelto male te.

Quote:
- Non hai detto nulla sul fatto che con le azioni normali, anche volendo, non si potrebbe pagare nulla.
Era ovviamente una metafora, un come se, per rendere l'idea perché secondo me uno strumento speculativo è inadatto a essere usato come mezzo di pagamento. Non intendevo dire che le puoi usare realmente ad oggi.

Quote:
- Non hai risposto alla cosa più importante e che dovrebbe se non altro farti mettere in dubbio alcuni dei tuoi pareri: In quale altro modo potresti mai mandare un miliardo di dollari a qualcun altro istantaneamente e spendendo pochi centesimi di euro???
Ti ho risposto invece: mi auguro vivamente in NESSUN modo. Perché spostare quelle somme senza alcun controllo è qualcosa di estremamente pericoloso per qualsiasi economia di qualsiasi stato e dovrebbe essere rigidamente vincolato. Quindi ripeto questo non è un pregio delle cripto ma semmai un grosso difetto.

Quote:
Detto ciò io non voglio convincerti, non mi interessa...e francamente non credo proseguirò neanche nel discorso se ricevero la solita risposta che ignora completamente quelli che sono DATI DI FATTO!
Mi fa piacere che le tue opinioni sono dati di fatto mentre quelle degli altri sono semplicemente loro idee. Per me puoi pensarla come ti pare ma occhio... a volte a fissarsi troppo e avere troppe certezze si perde di vista la prudenza e si rischia di sbattere contro un muro.

ma ancora non capite che è tutto fake..binance ha stampato miliardi e miliardi di dollari di tether quest'anno, 5 solo negli ultimi 3 mesi...

si sono anche comprati coinmarketcap che, guarda caso, ha smesso di aggiornare il market cap di tether...(che è di 8.6 miliardi)

https://wallet.tether.to/transparency

le cripto valute le ho avute, ci ho investito, ci ho guadagnato, e mi ci sono pure fatto il pc nuovo su caseking..

e continuo a seguirle. e ciò che vedo è che c'è solo speculazione, pochi o nessuno di quelli che dicono di usarle le usano, state solo lì a guardare prezzi virtuali e fake di monete tenute su via tether (ormai terza cripto per market cap) in una truffa autorigenerante.

Anche io fatico a capire l'utilità di scambiare euro/btc spendendo soldi per poi usare i btc per fare semplici acquisti, che vantaggio ci sarebbe anche solo rispetto ad un paypal?

Anche la cosa di spostare soldi in maniera semplice ed anonima non viene certo usata per mandare soldi al cugino a meno che il cugino non stia fisso alle Cayman a riciclare soldi di dubbia provenienza...
