Well keep dreaming that crypto will Kill Banks off completely.

Its sad you won't admit that its wrong. We not arguing about the tech, especially when i was praising the tech of crypto a page earlier. So to be honest, you off the subject of what my argument is when you quoted me, and just talking to talk. Are they not Scam Coins? YES, so WTH are you talking about... Thats what you quoted me on. I did not say Crypto itself was a scam.... I said the best scam can happen in the crypto space these days. Did you not just see what happened to BITCONNECT? You just arguing to argue, and is off topic.

You must've missed the part of my post when I said most coins will die then. I never said half these **** weren't scams. They are. But long term some of them will make it. You're the one who responded to my post talking like Crypto won't one day take over wire transfers and things like PayPal and Western Union. Seriously if you agreed with my point why respond...


Tell me a reason why some cryptocurrency will replace paypal?

Its way faster. Unless you keep the money in your PayPal its never instant. That's why Venmo and Cash App has jumped in that space and done well. Plus when's the last time you PayPaled the bank? Come on now... The things you use PayPal and wire transfers for ain't the same.

How can I agree when you said I am wrong WTF :lol: You are a cocky dude so I understand you cant admit you was off base. The Banks are the peoples enemy. Not PayPal and western union. Like I said...you have to pay fees there as well. So you not escaping fees in any space. You went into tangents about tech when I never was against the tech. Again I praised the tech numerous times. Im going to defend that sorry. The reality was your statement was off base on how you presented it to me telling me I am wrong in the way I look at it. I was talking about scam coins and you went off the point telling me I am wrong :lol: :lol:. ....you wont admit it, but that wont change the fact you was off base. You started the argument with its about making western union lose...which is 100% false. Western Union is NOT the elephant in the room at all. I attacked that point only from the jump. Pay attention. Re-read if you have to. Its all there.

You read my original post as attacking what you were saying about a whole bunch of extra ****. The only part of my post rebutting anything someone else said was the part about crypto not killing off banks and instead killing of **** like Western Union and wire transfers that you and Greenie brought up. Yeah I know people want crypto to beat banks. People wanted Netflix to beat Cable. Now Cable does what Netflix does (offer online programming) and Netflix is losing shows rapidly but they're established and going nowhere in the long term. That's how it works in real life.

Did Netflix kill off cable completely? Did blogs kill newspaper publications completely? Or did they just force them to integrate their technologies?

If you go to buy a house no one is gonna say PayPal me your down payment or Western Union transfer me your money... That's what I'm saying. Its different technologies. You're looking for a gotcha and ignoring what the hell I'm saying.

You asked Greenie if crypto will kill off banks. I said that's not the right question to ask what you need to ask is what other currency related services cryptocurrencies can take over. I don't know why you think PayPal, Venmo, etc. aren't going to be surpassed by the blockchain.

If you didn't (you did) what was the point of starting this whole thing? You act like I came out and started an argument. I made a statement based off that question and the statements made off it. **** wasn't even quoting you it was quoting one of Greenie's responses. You're getting way too worked up over nada right now. Acting like I came out with a **** Ill and Greenie post calling y'all stupid for asking what is actually a pretty common question (because that's how crypto is marketed) when I really just clarified what direction crypto will most likely take since overthrowing banks is just absurd. Don't feel foolish now cause you took it there for no reason.

I dont feel foolish on anything thats your first mistake. I took there cause your ass quoted me on something that was off topic telling me I am wrong. There is a reason why this whole thread was talking about Banks, and here you come talking about western union :lol: . FOH.

Because like I said its marketed as being able to take out banks. Just like Netflix was supposed to kill cable. Just like Tesla is supposed to kill traditional cars. The real world don't work like that which was the main point of my post. That question has obvious answers. We should be asking what other auxiliary services will be wiped out.

I'm rooting against the banks . But if they win in the end, so be it.



This was a quote by a poster. So because I wanted to hear a Bankers take on this statement, that was made by another poster. I am wrong for asking that question... :lol: :lol: . There is a reason why when Greenie gave me the short answer, I said I wanted more, cause I want to hear the other side of the argument...but according to Eballa that was foolish of me to seek an answer from Greens...Like I said I will get permission next time Lord Eballa...

This a message board is it not? No one said you can't say what you want. I said my peace on the subject. This what I meant when I said don't feel some type of way cause you jumped out of pocket after misreading my posts.
