Right, and we will eventually choose to forgo toilets and defecate in the streets again, because "never say never".
Please address my argument instead of this unconstructive purity-testing nonsense.
- thaumasiotes 5y ago> Right, and we will eventually choose to forgo toilets and defecate in the streets again, because "never say never". It's happened in the past; why would you rule it out in the future?

- gfodor 5y agoYour argument is refuted by the fact the technology to solve the problem you claim will never be solved literally already exists, one version of which has a market cap of almost $10B.[1] Claiming that a very obvious engineering problem incentivized to being solved is the same as imagining us being incentivized to regress in the way you mention is also weird.

- gfodor 5y agoI presumed you were using “blockchain” as a short hand for “distributed fault tolerant system that solves Byzantine generals problem.” If not then I agree blockchains in the literal sense probably are a transitional tech.
