Ok so I suppose you're referencing what I found to be interesting about your first comment: you can compare IPv4 to Bitcoin in terms of artificial scarcity, which you're also saying makes it a somewhat meaningless comparison.
- cperciva 10y agoI'm not saying it's a meaningless comparison; I'm saying it's a comparison between meaningless numbers.
- drvdevd 10y agoAh OK I see. I think what's so interesting to me about comparing bitcoin to IPv4 is that the latter is an artifact of artificial scarcity based on history rather than deliberate design. I'm sure others have noticed this parallel before, of course.
