most crypto projects are independent from one another. Most all of these coin failures happen as tokens on typically the ethereum blockchain, yet ethereum still stands strong as well as many others. There's no argument from me that the

I don't see anyone arguing that there have been fewer than 6 world reserve currencies in recorded history and plenty that say more. No idea where you're coming up with at most three.

Not completely true. You can launch bash with the --init-file flag and put the bashrc file wherever you'd like. Could even change /bin/bash or whatever your default shell is to be a script that launches bash with that flag pr

I don't need to consult coinbase or any other stakers to stake crypto. That would be a very broad definition for an agreement, one that's broad enough to maybe include housing, in reference to the GP comment.
