> Which makes you willfully unqualified to hold an opinion on his article. That may be, but I bet I have better understanding of what his character is better than you as I was in Europe in that time helping understand what was occurring with the Euro crises, and if that is his premise for why Bitcoin shouldn't be used by Socialists, he is right and should stop exploring it as an avenue. I'll just point at Maduro's failed plan to show why it doesn't matter anyway. > > Transporting Bitcoin can also be free, depending on what you mean by transporting. > On-chain? > Nope.

I'll just point at Maduro's failed plan to show why it doesn't matter anyway. It's surprising you know so much about Varoufakis, but what's even more surprising is that you know so much about me! I'm not disagreeing with you here incidentally--you haven't made any actual argument that I even could disagree with. You've just claimed that some events proved your point without explaining how or why. You may be right, but you haven't said anything that would convince me you are. Given so far my experience of you is you refuse to read something and yet feel qualified to comment on it because you know the author's character, I'm certainly not going to be believing you based on your qualifications. > I'll indulge you, go on explain... If I wish to transport gold across a border, I have to work out customs/tariffs, security, potentially bribes, etc. all of which cost money. If I wish to transport Bitcoin across a border, I memorize the wallet key, and cross the border. Free.
