In a way it sorta did. Not directly obviously but if you look at the history of bitcoin, its first truly viable use was darknet markets. After getting established as the currency there, it proved it could work and banks n all started buying it, so it was the weed that did it in a way
I was standing in the corner, I had some marijuana, I wanted to get higher, So I went into the corner with my rizla and my ganja, and I build another spliff until I’m totally out my head.

1·1 year agoTax smokers more and use that money to pay for it it also works as a passive deterrent to stop smoking.
Edit: looking up the numbers it seems they could already pay for any nhs costs that appear solely from the taxes on tobacco so thats not an issue your getting mad at nothing idk what to say except live and let live

1·1 year agoI feel like cigs on prescription is a fast way to get an oxy-like black market. You’d have people faking prescriptions to sell those cigs most likely to people who smoke more than the doctor wants them to or js children. Denmark is an example of a country which banned disposables yet a lot of teens still vape there they js buy em from dealers instead of stores thus increasing the danger for them

1·1 year agoSo ud genuinely rather non smokers die than let smokers get medical care? I feel like I have to be reading this wrong thats a bit psychopathic to admit that once someones smokes u actively dislike them so much ud be okay w collateral damage to prevent them getting medical care

1·1 year agoI suppose i wouldnt oppose a ban like that in theory, but because doctors rnt omniscient, in practice, you’d end up with either, smokers not being treated for illnesses completely unrelated to their smoking, or non smokers not being treated because doctors think its related to smoking. I mean how could u tell for 100% certain someone is a smoker, I can bet theres smokers out there w still perfectly white teeth etc and non smokers whos lungs r black from car exhausts. Is it really worth letting a non smoker die js because you dont wanna pay for the smoker too? Its hardly like people r gonna be honest abt smoking when they won’t get free healthcare for it

2·3 years agoWho said anything abt owning? U can charge a car with a plug socket it’s just slow but if its at your house that wouldn’t matter as much.
Did you not realise the irony of making this comment?
Yes but I have audiophile headphones that I used to be able to use on on my phone without needing a dongle which I lose and need to replace everytime I plug the headphones into something else Can u name a solution for this that doesn’t involve replacing dongles constantly



I didn’t say anything abt the first purchase so unsure how this is relevant
Edit: excerpt
Silk Road proved the market for secure anonymous transactions based on blockchain ledgers, and the viability of cryptocurrency in general. Before the Silk Road marketplace, Bitcoin was mainly a novelty, with the first Bitcoin transaction famously being 10,000 BTC for 2 pizzas. Shortly after the Silk Road darknet market took off, Bitcoin reached $266 per coin, and the Silk Road marketplace became a $200 million operation.
