Finance in general is plagued of this too: most money movements are non-productive asset transfers (investing, buying/selling of businesses, ...; as opposed to salaries and individual end-user purchases). But you will always be able to

> A lot of why people bought cryptos is in hopes of massive deflation No. Bitcoin is not a get-rich-quick scheme, it's a not-get-poor-slowly scheme. It's mainly protection against inflation, not hope for massive deflation.

If no fines, what prevents the people from taking the books and not return them again? Wanting to borrow new books? Ah, fair enough. (Just putting this out loud for people which didn't reach this conclusion yet, it took me a while.) PS

I agree with you about all the past bad behaviour, but the e-mail about Minsky was a bad choice to be the "last straw". It was an email calling for accusation-inflation prevention, which the media portrayed as completely the oppos

Your comment is the best illustration of what fragmentation means.

I completely agree with all your points. However, to me Brave is the least-worse browser because at least it has a step inside the territory of blockchain-based browsing. It's the first browser that will add an integrated wallet by def
