• This is what you get in a #cryptocurrency economy where spending and velocity are the most important aspects, and HODLing is frowned upon. Where do you think most of the coins will end up? How does the price of the coin appreciate? There is no value being created here. #Bcashpic.twitter.com/CMP61kzDyQ
• Spending crypto at a "pass through merchant" has no impact on the value or price of a crypto asset. The net effect is just that friction is introduced to the marketplace and people with a poor understanding of economics are losing money. TL;DR #Bcash will keep going down.
• Crypto-Keynesians, as defined by @jimmysong, believe that the velocity of money is what matters. Clearly it doesn't matter for the value of a crypto asset. It's just moving around & the guy shouting "SPEDN" is just tossing money down a black hole for the sake of moving it around.
• A "pass through merchant" will accept crypto but sell right away for fiat. They are adding more payment options in hopes of boosting sales. If you insist on spending your crypto, they'll take it, but you'll effectively just buy back that crypto on an exchange later.
• A "HODL merchant" is very different from a "pass through merchant" trying to boost sales by accepting $crypto. A merchant that HODLs will accept crypto for payment but keep it. Their goal is to accumulate more of the crypto asset without having to buy it directly.
• "This same philosophy is why BCHers are so intent on getting more merchants to accept Bitcoin as a method of payment. Their belief is that increasing aggregate spending will create network wealth. The 9+ years of Bitcoin history stand in contrast to this belief." #Facts https://twitter.com/jimmysong/status/1051844350165114882 …
• #Bitcoin isn't just mathematically secure, it's thermodynamically secure. Bitcoin's cryptography is based off of computational hardness assumptions and the complexity of brute force attacks. We can compute the minimum energy / time needed to attack Bitcoin. 1/
