That's a start, but nothing as good them having a working product and provable ongoing development. A good reason to justify the token is hard to come by.

No, and hopefully it won't happen. I don't trust myself that much, however.

Some of us only trade in crypto. On that side, things aren't really looking much brighter vs btc. Might not get back to the level where we got in. Oh well.

It staying stable is already good enough for me right now. Not hoping for much here, and I got in when it was more than 2x the current rate.

Here goes some reasons why they could be against it:

Most of what there will ever be is already in few people's hands. Late comers just increase the power of the earlier adopters.

Relatively high fees for small transactions.

More likely for people stealing it to get away with it.

High and rapidly growing energy consumption.

Without an authority regulating it, it means there could be clones offering the exact same. In the event that alternatives aren't technically inferior, why adopt one or the other isn't clear.

It makes sense, I don't think it's wrong.

We are designed to compete and struggle for survival. Money is a way to secure one's position in society. Yet, at the same time, money is only powerful because people believe in it.

I don't think we are anywhere near the level of development where one can really consider strip mining asteroids, etc. By the time that's viable, it would probably be a post-scarcity economy anyway.

But how? People have different ideas and more importantly people try to get ahead of others no matter the means.

What's best for you might not be the best for me and vice-versa. It's not something where everyone stands to benefit as much.

Or we wouldn't need/have different countries, laws, languages or even currency at all.

It's one of the most interesting sites for dice, but I don't find anything in particular I would call unique. Site looks good and is solid overall.

This should be the case for some, among whom would be the ones actually using it primarily as currency. But many others are just in it because they see it as another source of income, and might not care too much about the details.

I see no contradiction, try reading it again? They are in it for the quick gains. This is case for a lot of people.

In my case it's about what the competition can offer as well.

While there may be a power struggle in some cases, I don't think that should be it. It's mostly in hands of few whales either way, no?

That said, it shouldn't surprise if greed was one of the major drivers behind it. Just human things.

As layman, I think an expert should meet a higher criteria than just those at that. Can't be an expert with just cursory knowledge in a field.

It could be over time. Right now it's nowhere near the most usable as currency, but the fact it's used as reference for all coin trade is giving it an overwhelming advantage over the others.

Most people know of it here, but there's no great reason to adopt this one coin in particular for most of those that aren't already in it.

Besides, can it really handle the load as it is now?

That one's making things up, I'd say. The site still isn't up.

Maybe. For all I know, It's only getting started. When everyone can print money, then everyone tries to print money scenario?

From what I've seen, the offers from those sites seem more than just a bit lower than the fiat rates. If that's the case, it might be best to just work for fiat then trade for crypto after.

This is as well as whether their hardware can handle the stress are things people should want to consider before diving into it. For me it's not worth it at all, just for the electricity costs alone.

I only have a few sigts either way.


That's huge, but got to be rich to begin with for that much gains from it.
