The handle I'm responding to hasn't exactly provided "evidence" either, including for: * the existence of nebulous things like "value stores", "intrinsic value" or what constitutes or possesses either * that Bitcoin is a negative-sum asset, a MLM or a pyramid scheme * that a distributed tamper proof ledger doesn't have any usefulness for any practical purpose which is fine by me, we're all just here to kill time between builds and deploys anyway :P but if you think evidence is required knock yourself out and prove some for any of the above
