Sorry, I think you missed the point of my question. For the use case I'm talking about, which is PoS, I don't see how those things are optional at all.
- qnaal 12y agoI wouldn't consider pos a very good usecase for bitcoin in general. Credit cards are specifically designed for a consumer environment, and even if bitcoin continues towards the moon, I don't predict physical paper currency is going anywhere anytime soon. Being able to buy a burrito with internet money is pretty cool, but I think of bitcoin as more of a useful network of human trust/power, than a consumerism enabler.
