Neither of you have experienced warrantless freezing of assets of theft of money by your financial institution. If you had, you would understand why it might be important to preserve this control, even as a law abiding citizen.

Or perhaps they won't be outcompeted. But I think you are right, these are world views in competition.

Perhaps in digital advertising? In some cases you have multiple actors (say 10) with data simultaneously created by 5. Ensuring these agree today is hard and knowing who to trust is hard. Consensus algorithms and Blockchain’s can help the 5

Thanks for engaging and not immediately seeing my refutation as hostile as is often the cases when I speak with most people I disagree with despite trying my hardest to be diplomatic. You raise many points that I think are mostly mistaken,

I understand what you are saying, but I don't think you understand the economics of what is happening with all due respect. If you mean that when an early adopter sells, this is diluting, then you are wrong. It just moves ownership, th

I actually ride one, and have for about 2 years before this sharing became a mainstream thing. I expected this would happen and always tried to be super cautious when with pedestrians to avoid eventual regulation. I don't have a bell (

They are not at all safe on a road, and if people aren't assholes, they are fine on the sidewalk. The problem is, people are assholes.

I have no idea what you are talking about. People that buy crypto currencies are exchanging money for digital rights (which some believe are better forms of money). How that relates to you stealing $100 from me is beyond my comprehension. P

It seems you have a problem with other people having large pieces of pie, rather than the more important point that all people that have pie have it grow.

I fail to see the point. Investors manage their risk-reward profile by investing different percentage amounts of their net worth. The measure of how much money you have or make per year is in no way an indicator of how capable you are in as

The first part of your point makes sense, the second less so. If you have a pay for no ads model, you would get wealthy users willing to pay for it, and poor users unwilling. Meaning you could ONLY advertise to people without money to buy y

Accredited investor laws are disgusting. Personally, I'd much prefer to hold securities, tokens, equities, currency on-chain than via some broker. Similarly as a way to accept dividends as well. Having a compliant way of performing thi
