It would be like me saying 'Wind power is ass backward. Other power sources can achieve just as much electricity without taking up all that land.' As if it wasn't a trade--off. And then only later acknowleding that wind power is about not relying on fossil-fuels.
Anyway, what do these other crypto-currencies give you, if it's not decentralization?

To me it's more like saying "everyone having a turbine and blowing on it themselves is just dumb, why not put a huge one on the common land so we don't all have to spend all day blowing at our little windmills?" As I say, I like some of the ideas of crypto-currency but I actually consider all the decentralisation and deliberate removal of central authority from the issue a net negative. >> As if it wasn't a trade--off. That really depends if you place any value on what's being traded. >> Anyway, what do these other crypto-currencies give you, if it's not decentralization? Offline transactions, computational efficiency, various other things. But if your entire worldview is anti-centralisation and anti-government then they give you nothing, just as BTC gives me nothing I care about.
