Its true. I think this is the strongest argument against cryptocurrency-as-a-currency which proponents too easily gloss over. Security issues e.g. disputed transactions is arguably something which would naturally happen less with crypto, gi

I think what you describe is a likely end-state, and what large cloud providers will move to. The problem right now is that a setup like this isn't cheap; but its only expensive because economics of scale aren't behind it; that wi
