People twist themselves into knots trying to justify the unjustifiable. The "trust" mechanism Bitcoin uses is hugely wasteful, with very small tangible (rather than hypothetical) benefit.
- djschnei 5y agoYou're stonewalling what could otherwise be a beneficial discussion. If you addressed the points made and explained why they don't justify my perceived benefits, maybe I could learn something from you. But you would rather make a snarky comment, ignore the arguments made, then say it's a waste of time... Too bad, really. Have a nice weekend! There is also the possibility the author would teach you something, since he started with the exact same position you have. At the very least wouldn't it be interesting to see why he had a change of heart (whether it be greed, wishful thinking, or maybe something you haven't considered)?
