If reversibility is needed any "cryptocurrency extremist" will tell you that there is no trustless solution to this kind of transaction and that a trusted intermediary (usually an escrow) is needed.
This is what happens with fiat money anyways, it is just so intimately mixed by now (credit cards, ACH, etc.) that you figure it's the only kind of transaction that exist or should exist.
Crypto is providing an alternative to this point of view, if you don't think you need it, don't use it, pretty straightforward... and if you want to stop it because you want people to think like you, try to stop it, let's have fun.
- permo-w 4y agoI think it’s the evangelism of crypto that irritates people, not the personal use of it, although there are the obvious environmental issues with that too.
- throw101010 4y agoI don't think anybody asked what was annoying about crypto, we are talking about irreversibility and why it can be a useful option for some people. But thanks for sharing your concerns I guess.
- permo-w 4y agoyou spent the last paragraph of your comment complaining about people having a problem with crypto as if you have no idea why that might be also perhaps consider taking a less passive aggressive tone. throwaway accounts are not an excuse to be rude
- throw101010 4y agoThere isn't a single "complaint" in the paragraph you refer to. If stating the factual matter of what you can do with or against crypto is "rude" to you, feel free to not answer next time, as your whining/concern trolling won't change much to these facts... especially when they don't relate to what was debated: reversability of transactions.
