silver is pretty useless since i can't use it at the restaurant, right?

including ones which are not mutually traded in any reasonable sense

it's pretty dependant on people wanting to buy it

It's also got practical uses.

and exchanges

so does bitcoin 😃

for example, you can buy bolivars with bitcoin

which is probably stupid

but heh

Alright, explain

Silver being pretty to look at is good enough I think

the censorship resistant forum i was talking about is built on a crypto

the information is on chain, no one can delete it

it does have some benefits, rye

the chain is a peer based database

it's just that they have failed to solve scaling problems with Bitcoin itself

and that is what is making it ??? currency wise.

everyone running a node has a copy of a distributed ledger of all transactions ever

the technology has some promise

I don't deny I want to abolish centralized influence

Using blockchain to build a usenet style discussion system sounds good

https://eos-forum.org

The problem is that at some point the network gets larger than the participants' disks

first of all motherfucker, I didn't say I "wasn't into crypto"

the anon posting is free

you don't just get to barge into this server and make demands

I asked

and I know that

chill

out

this is a discord for Tim and his musings

I'm just not convinced that it's independent of centralized currency value.

lol, wanna kick me out now? save some trouble later

that actually seems pretty reasonable

i know i'm a troll sometimes.

no offense roadcrypto, but if it's the only thing you talk about, this might not be the place.

i try to be constructive

it hasn't been. that's why i'm trying to get a channel so i don't talk about it in here

I'm open to discussing this.

you're not being a troll, you're just being annoying

i've talked about other stuff in here
