You could say the same for most of the modern internet, but please don't brother.

A reminder that the world is burning:

134TWh to maintain the blockchain last year, for 4 transactions per second. Some nuclear power stations generate slightly more than that in 20 years.

Since bitcoin has no RRP, what is the context in which a retail "sale" makes sense?

You're clearly really into this planet destroying ponzi scheme. You keep referring to something as a "sale". You have no way to compare the current price to the future price. Perhaps you portfolio is still tulip/beanie baby heavy too.

Bitcoin last year required something in the region of 134TWhs to maintain, for 4 transaction per second (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29769892). Some nuclear pose stations generate over that in 20 years of production. The world is burning, but so long as you get more people to join the ponzi scheme, who cares, right, it's a "sale".

In what sense can it ever go on "sale" in the context you keep using? It has no RRP.

I made no claim that it was a purely crypto mindset, they've flogged this phrase to death, and continue to do so in their echo chamber communities.

> Everything is on sale.

Such meaningless phrasing. If something wasn't on sale, nobody could buy it. The crypto meme of dips in the price being 'a sale' is key to hooking the uniformed new fish into the great ponzi scheme.

Home hub is a spectacularly poor piece of kit. Long start up time from powering on, high energy usage, really poor software (repeat soft bricking from remote updates at random times of day and night), historically awful attitudes to security (see other comments). Everything was better rub as Telewest/NTL.

A post here some days ago (since removed) linked to a google drive containing generated images (which displayed nonsense), the hashes of which matched those of genuine problems images.

Reading the content from this person/organisation I don't believe this is poor wording, rather fairly standard scare tactics and threats.

The strategy seems to be to douse the office in petrol, lock the doors and star lightning matches while inside.

An expert in the field risks their life to save children, is accused of being a peadophile. That's a long way from being an a-hole.
