			It was a way to steal monies from society by contributing exactly nothing in return until the bubble burst and it fully became [[normies\|mainstream]]. After it hit 18-19K it crashed (and is still crashing). All people who have profited off of bullshit coin are [[greed\|lucky]] [[sin\|bastards]] but it's clear now that it will not happen again.

	[[retards\|Budding miners]] can spend thousands of dollars on graphics cards that they zip-tie together like they're overzealous cops arresting protesters.

	The rise of ASIC mining led to huge [[Chinese]] mining farms: warehouses full of miners that quickly made it impossible for regular bitcoiners to recoup any costs incurred by running up their parents' electric bills. They keep trying, however, cobbling together dozens of shoddy ASIC miners in an attempt to copy the Chinese. This, rather predictably, fails.

	While Bitcoin itself is a somewhat novel, if not kludgey solution to a problem that doesn't exist and is sort of interesting, the community that has built up around it is quite possibly the worst collection of people on the internet, a sickening combination of [[freep]], [[4chan]], [[reddit]], and worse.

Recognizing this, BFL then announced newer, better hardware which was plagued by delays. After putting off the release for months, they finally debuted the device at CES to much fanfare. Their demo unit was an empty box full of computer fans with a shitty [[Android]] tablet stuck inside. Four months later, they started shipping slower machines that used more electricity to do less work and sent them to a [[Only 2 percent\|privileged few]], while perpetually delaying orders and collecting more filthy piles of money. Later they released the "Mini Rig," which is a huge, broken, unstable piece of shit, also missing pretty much all of their targeted goals. Both bitcoiners and critics alike took notice, leading to BFL [[Sell Out\|buying out]] their biggest critic, the Buttcoin blog, [http://techcrunch.com/2014/07/14/bitcoin-mining-company-buys-critical-site-to-improve-google-results/ for five figures] and then removing any instances of criticism, claiming that their ~~huge, broken, unstable piece of shit~~ was actually "[[lie\|a sexy bitcoin mining machine]]".

While redditors certainly love Bitcoin, it was in fact invented in 2008 by a mysterious [[anonymous\|pseudonymous]] [[libertarian]] going by the name [[azn\|Satoshi Nakamoto]]. Bitcoin claims to be a peer-to-peer crypto[[money\|currency]], which is a fancy way of saying it's the [[bittorrent]] of money. Bitcoin is well-known for being an avenue for criminality, especially in the sale of [[drugs]] and for money laundering, despite the fact that every transaction is publicly broadcast as part of its protocol. Bitcoin has built up an impressive following of [[neckbeard]]s, [[autists]], scam artists, and cultists over the course of its first six years of existence.

			It was a way to steal monies from society by contributing exactly nothing in return until the bubble burst and it fully became [[normies\|mainstream]]. After it hit 18-19K it crashed (and is still crashing). All people who have profited off of bullshit coin are [[greed\|lucky]] [[sin\|bastards]] but it's clear now that it will not happen again.
