Hah, fair enough. I just see a lot of closed-mindedness when it comes to discussions around blockchain tech on HN specifically, and it's hard to advocate for more nuanced discussion without sounding like I have an agenda.
Yeah it's probably overpriced and not a smart idea to buy. I'm not saying it isn't.
- excerionsforte 5y agoI've seen highest rated comments where people are ragging on cryptocurrency and some on blockchain tech itself. I usually skip these because I think blockchain is interesting. I see it as a secure highly replicated database. Cardano has a lot going for it from my time looking at it (3 months now). I'm going to keep paying attention to it. That said, I hope it succeeds in staying cheap to write transactions unlike the other projects in order for poorer countries to be able to take advantage. And hope it is successful convincing African and Asian governments/institutions in keeping important things like education credentials and property deeds onto its chain given the lack of documentation and authenticity in a lot of these places. Lots of cryptocurrency speculation going on, but I can ignore that and be interested in where Cardano is going with regards to improving lives in countries where they are essentially neglected.

- nojster 5y agoIf you are really asking this, you failed to understand the fundamental concept of DLTs. Why would they use DLT for exchange of (promised) value rather than using banks? Why would they use DLT for token issuance rather than the monetary policy of the fed?
