> There never was any real world application to cryptocurrency beyond what Satoshi invented in 2009 with Bitcoin All this shows is that you haven’t spent even 5 minutes trying to understand crypto, and yet you judge it regardless. - The introduction of true anonymity (as opposed to mere pseudonymity) with XMR has been significant. - The introduction of rapid, feeless transactions with NANO has been significant. - The introduction of smart contracts with Ethereum has been significant. Each of these solutions completely change the crypto sphere and significantly expand its potential use case. Each of these provide something at the protocol layer that Bitcoin does not. And there have been plenty of significant developments beyond these. But bitterness is blinding. I would be fascinated to hear your evidence for why these are “a money grab dressed up in heaps of ludicrous marketing lingo, defended by paid-off law firms.”
