I wonder how they'd ever cash out.

Liquid already has confidentiality. I think the question is: how could they coerce the federated authorization to unfreeze peg-out to Bitcoin.

That is a natural consequence of banks and governments losing power. That power balance shifts towards the citizens... some of whom are criminals. The coin fanboys will argue that the bankers and government were criminals as well.

This is worded in a way that pretends like the banks and governments themselves aren't considered criminals by the masses.

I did mention that the coin fanboys think so. Do you invest in any coins?

> you started this conversation with arguing against yourself How so ? Meanwhile, what you qualified as blog spam is actually proving to be written by a human spending too much time answering your rant.

> How so ? Who said any of the parts you quoted in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49594757 ? It looks like you made up all of those lines.

That the concept of comments: those lines come from me. No AI (can you believe?)

Hence the whole "arguing with yourself" part...

Generally, we use quotes here for actual quotes, not quoting stuff we've read in other newspapers or on reddit or whatever, but real verbatim quotes.

I think it used to be a proper guidelines back in the day, or at least people got really up in their arms if you used quote syntax for things that weren't actually verbatim quotes.

But besides that, what's the point? Why share other's viewpoints you don't even agree with, so you can argue against them yourself? Why not wait until someone who actually has those viewpoints, share them? Or even better, why not just say nothing at all?

I'm not sure if there is actually any evidence of this? Criminals do very well without crypto. If you look at percent of the economy that is fraudulent, it is quite large. If you look at percentage of crypto economy that is fraudulent, it is surprisingly similar

Plenty, search for cases of ransomware for example, you will find hundreds of instances where they demand payment by cryptocurrency, at least 1B per year.

This lacks comparison to regular economy.

Crypto is total scam, lives of many people have been destroyed, it only works until it runs out of fools. How many forks and psyops until people realize?

> it only works until it runs out of fools. And given the world will never run out of fools, you're actually saying cryptocurrencies will continue working forever?
