It's funny how people here on HN are always on about "it's a solution looking for a problem", etc. And then others try explain the use-cases, and they just try to refute it with all kinds of stupid arguments.
Now it's pretty clear how crypto can have a use case (as some of us already knew and were hammering on about it for a long time).
So can we set a new baseline here, and agree that crypto has a use-case? Or are you anti-crypto people still as short sighted as before?
I think we made some progress here on HN, and some of the "anti-crypto" people are now moving into "not pro crypto" space.
- Symbiote 5y agoI think everyone here recognises the criminal use cases of cryptocurrency (drugs, money laundering etc). Evading sanctions is just another type of illegal trade.
- koonsolo 5y agoSome claim this is a bad use-case since it's a public ledger and everything can be traced. See, every use-case can be easily taken down. If I was in Russia, I would be very glad to own some crypto right now. But hey, you do you.
