minus-squareTheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-219 days agoSelling bitcoin requires actually bribing miners to commit the sale. They call it “paying gas” … but it is a bribe. How is a bribe in an unregulated market better ?
minus-squareHalfSalesman@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·19 days agoThat sounds more like paying them rent. Bribes pertain to paying an authority to do something illegal. Its parasitic behavior and bad. Submitting to it is a lesser evil compared to letting puritanical authoritarians dictate and censor however IMO.
