My point is that property laws apply equally to cash and to (so called) blockchain assets (and to many other types of assets): if you are within the court's jurisdiction, it can al…

> The blockchain, on the other hand, was invented to keep track of who owns that. That's its only purpose. Well.. its purpose is to enable transactions between people, and not keep…

Have you ever heard that "posession is nine-tenths of the law"? Well... this is a system in which "posession is ten-tenths of the law". This has obvious disadvantages (as you point…

I'm arguing in bad faith, according to you, even though I individually and respectfully tried to address every point you asked/made. Yet, you are the one doing unbased accusations …

And "making money" does not sound like a use-case to you? Ok. And tulips are not worthless ... they just aren't as valuable as people thought they were, during the tulip mania.

Yes, I know. But it was the original claim that triggered the current thread. Either way, thanks for the insight and information you brought to the discussion.

Was that even the question to begin with? Here is the comment I replied to, originally [0]. Try to find the word "Bitcoin" there. And, again, thanks for continuing to support my po…

Ok. So... if even traditional finance is slowly adopting these things, it kind of becomes hard to hold on to the idea that there aren't actually any use-cases outside of crime and …

Yes... and? Are people that have Bitcoin not allowed to do useful things with what they have? Does it bother you that there are actual legitimate use-cases for these things (as you…

Regarding point 2, what's wrong with assuming that 1 BTC is worth 1 BTC now and forever? If I'm not trading asset A for asset B, then it's hardly "speculation". If it makes it any …

I'll bite the bullet and assume that you're asking a legitimate question in good faith: 1) Imagine I have 100 USD and 100 EUR and I want to provide liquidity to a USD-EUR pair to g…

What do you mean when you say AI? I'm curious. As far as I can tell, most people (e.g., whoever wrote this article) seem to use AI as a synonym for "machine learning", basically.
