I'm not dismissing crypto as a toy. Most cryptos are Ponzi Schemes. BTC and ETH I'm dismissing as not practical.

- rglullis 4y agoFor the purposes of an application, calling it "not practical" is the same as calling it a "toy".
- burnished 4y agoEeeeh? I think not. A toy implies that is has no, or cannot have, practical uses and is a property of the object or idea. Not practical is an engineering problem, it is contingent on external factors. A fidget spinner is a toy, a space elevator is not practical. They are both ways to dismiss an idea though.
- gfodor 4y agoThe part where you moved BTC and ETH from the 'ponzi' slot to the 'not practical' slot will continue for other elements. BTC will slide into the next slot soon probably, going from 'not practical' to 'practical for a very narrow set of things that aren't the set of things people originally expected.' So it goes.
