Why do you feel the need for this type of attack?
- Eisenstein 4y agoIt is frustrating that many times when someone asks a question about crypto instead of an answer there is a comparison to something else that is irrelevant using a metaphor based on a misconception.
- madsbuch 4y agoI understand, and hope we can keep the conversation sober going forward. To answer your questions without any use of metaphors: I do not know whether Crypto is a good or a bad idea. I am merely trying not to be presumptive about it. The horse metaphor is an attempt to lead some attention to the fact that we several times in the history have seen long adaptation time for certain technologies we benefit from on large scale.
