Cash doesn't scale, doesn't work remotely and, in any case, cash is actually useful for legitimate purposes, like snorting cocaine.

- sumedh 5y agoHow was Escobar able to build a multi million dollar empire if cash does not scale?
- KarlKemp 5y agoEscobar sold drugs. The margins on that stuff are rather large, allowing for a few inefficiencies. But I should have really said: cash doesn’t scale down. Escobar can put people with briefcase on planes to pay his suppliers on all continents. But any smaller outfit would struggle with those logistics.
- simonh 5y ago> Cash doesn't scale I refer the learned gentleman to, er, the global economy. How much more scaled up would you like? Meanwhile crypto transactions have to go through a single common blockchain with pitiful throughput. Even the enhancements like lightning are laughably slow compared to the global banking system.
