You are the one making the sweeping claim ("CryptoCurrency doesn't add any benefit"), so unless your name is Donald Trump, the burden of formulating precise criticism actually falls on you.
My apologies if you weren't being intentionally disingenuous though, in that case, here's a link with what seems like good answers to your question: https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-advantages-of-Cryptocurrency-over-Traditional-Money https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-advantages-of-Cryptocurre...
- madeofpalk 8y agoMost of those are either bugs, not features, or just have nothing to do with cryptocurrency and can be (and have been) implemented on top of our existing banking infrastructure (or it's reasonably non-trivial to create new infrastructure for it).
- root_axis 8y agoI'm not making a sweeping claim, I'm asserting something more akin to a null hypothesis. The extraordinary claim is the one that suggests cryptocurrency has lots of benefits when all the available evidence points to the reality that it is mostly a toy. Posting a page full of quora answers as your response is not a practical way to have a discussion. If you have a point to make I encourage you to lay it out here so that I can address it, I am not going to spend time constructing a response to a page of quora answers you took 30 seconds looking up on google.
- IAmGraydon 8y agoIt seems like you don’t want to hear dissenting opinions because you have a vested interest in crypto and it’s unpleasant to consider that you may be wrong. His opinion is just as valid as yours, and HN exists for such discussion. So, in the interest of hearing both sides, what benefits do you claim crypto provides that aren’t already provided by fiat currency?
