The fallacy of false dichotomies. Things aren't either totally useful or totally a scam. That's what I'm trying to say, we shouldn't jump into quick conclusions

The fallacy of false dichotomies. Things aren't either totally useful or totally a scam. That's what I'm trying to say, we shouldn't jump into quick conclusions one way or the other, especially without trying to really understand first.
I have my views on positive use cases for the blockchain and/or cryptocurrencies, and I got that by learning and building stuff with it. On whether the technology is a net good or bad to society, I don't know.
One can refuse to participate in anything without completely dismissing its merit. But that's the polarised world we live in :/
- CRConrad 5y agoYadda, yadda. Who said I'm 100-0 on the "Scam!" side? I could be 99-1, or maybe even 90-10. Even if I were 60-40, what do you expect -- that I should argue for how it's not a scam?!? But, hey, you seem to be closer to 100-0 than to 99-1 in favour of "Utopia!". You would be a lot more persuasive for that side if you didn't natter about meta shit like "fallacies" or "false dichotomies" but in stead presented some actual arguments. I notice you didn't.
- freemanon 5y agoI'm not trying to convince anyone that crypto is 100% the future. I'm trying to convince people that it's not a total scam. Between black and white there's gray. You keep digging into that false dichotomy
