Crypto is useful. A very long time ago there was a conversation about killer use cases. People on the ethereum side of the room thought programmable chains were it. People on the Bitcoin side said it was micropayments and script based post dating.
I said that it was likely paying for compute resources that would be a killer use case. Implementing 402s would be that manifest: https://github.com/lightninglabs/aperture https://github.com/lightninglabs/aperture
Now we’re moving deep into the AI markets, this will be a thing, combining both.
That said, con artists will still try to hustle others.

As if we didn't have ways to pay for compute resources already. > Now we’re moving deep into the AI markets, this will be a thing, combining both. Of course it won't. > That said, con artists will still try to hustle others. Indeed. By saying things like "innovative ways to pay for compute resources" and "our AI-enabled crypto bullshit is a cuting-edge thingamabob"

- kordlessagain 4y agoI’ve found that when I don’t state things as fact on here that I don’t end up getting as much ire, but sometimes I just know what I do is true and am too lazy to explain it in my glee in seeing it manifest. Time will tell, but as of now there are still no killer uses for crypto, other than hustling others.
