ok who the heck are the anons holding nearly $1m of my coin on bitclout? i am grateful, and if bitclout turns out to be a good thing then you can rest assured i've got a billion ideas to use the fuck out of a creator coin and I will moon you but also who in the *actual* heck tho

iiuc bitclout is a scam

I'm unclear on this. I don't know enough to be sure it's not, but I know enough to know that the tech it's potentially offering is something that would be extremely useful, and it would be more profitable to not be a scam.

a lot of things are scams, but some aren't, what in specific makes you think this is a scam?

Replying to

-can’t withdraw money -they suggest creators buy their own tokens -bitclout running everything through their coin instead of an ETH smart contract

im kinda a noob so pls educate me but: 1 doesn't seem too crazy to me? there's an active otc market and not-listed-on-exchanges-yet seems kinda normal 2 im less clear on. i personally haven't spent a cent on bitclout, but i was auto verified 3 are there any benefits to that

Replying to

I’m also new so could be wrong 1 iiuc if it was ERC20 that wouldn’t be a problem 3 not necessarily, just part of the untrustworthy vibe

Replying to

I don't know enough to know if there's a clear response to this. I do know there's reasons why people make blockchains besides just using tokens on eth, but I'm unclear if there's a good reason for this or not.

The problem is that this thing isn’t even a blockchain haha

what does that mean? How is it not a blockchain?

I’m guessing it’s more “we don’t know if it’s technically a blockchain, and even if it is, having a blockchain on one computer only removes all the benefits”

ok this makes more sense for me would we expect to start seeing a ... slowdown? if more transactions take place on one or a few computers? what is the impact on a blockchain if the processing power is more limited?
