I am trying to explain to this hard-headed simpleton that those coins he is so enamored with, they don't have any competitive advantage.
Good luck with that.
I think that was disguised humor. Lol. I agree.
Can you get a haircut using ____coin?
A coin may have all the newest features and techs but if I can't use it in real life or online to by stuff with it well it is basicly worthless.
I emphatically disagree with the implied necessity of retail and tangible items purchasing (tangible items ordered online are relevant). Do you have any concept of how many more virtual microtransactions are done daily, many of which are monetized with an advertising model that is dying? Others are not monetized or monetized with a reputation and gift economy model.
You are incredibly stuck in the old world economy. You do not understand what is really happening. Sorry smooth is correct. I can not teach you with words. You will have to watch all your assumptions fail. I am not asserting smooth agrees with my assumptions (he doesn't even entirely know what I am up to).
Edit: the tangible economy is being destroyed as we speak by the coming Economic Totalitarianism. It is going to absolutely implode. People are going to need to do virtual commerce and be able to pay each other anonymously over the internet in order to prosper in the face of the State taxing and expropriating everything to death. The bankrupt socialist States of the West are driving the global economy into the abyss. You are focused on the dying portion of the economy. It is the virtual Knowledge Age that is growing much faster and will continue to grow.
