>Crypto is not going away. It's an application on the internet like email. Value over TCP/IP via strong encryption.

i don't expect it to go away either, but it will be forced to evolve and wear new hats as it fails to meet its proposed use cases. it will be a slow and painful death imo. what emerged as a deregulated digital currency, has now become a store of value to hedge against inflation. what happens when the global economy recovers? what emerged as tech revolution is now conforming to the same systems it attempted to supplant.

>You rely on encryption daily. You're using it on these boards.

i'm not worried about encryption. my resources are secure and protected, i pay $0 in transaction fees, and i have someone to call if a problem arises. what happens if you input the wrong character in your crypto transaction? who do you call if you get hacked?

i'm not even sure where to begin with Andreas, however, bitcoin failed to meet his own expectations.

>And then tell me it's a ponzi after you actually understand what bitcoin is.

i still think its a ponzi.
