Not really just business, say, you are buying bitcoins yourself. In fact, in which case, the smaller the hashrate remains on the old chain, the more dangerous it became for those left behind.
Well it is not really dangerous. Your money will not be lost.
The worst thing that could happen is you get but scammed but - as I said - it is not so easy a scam to pull.
Also, generally when running business it is your goddamn job to make sure that everything is ok. If you don't know that, you should not even start a business.
A merchant using USD certainly should not be expected to keep up with Fed's monetary policy, waiting for x confirmations is as much due diligence as should be expected from him.
Well yeah, but what kind of comparison is this ? USD is not a new, dynamically developing technology.
I am sure that after 50 years Bitcoin will also stabilize and become the "boring, old Bitcoin" that everybody knows. But not now, not today.
The grace period is actually much much longer, because the whole situation will be widely known at least few months before that happens. So companies actually have months to change, not weeks.
Assuming the information is equally accessible to all corners of the world, this economy is way larger than we think.
Well sorry, but if some merchant on the other end of the world is many months behind what is happening in Bitcoin world, then that is seriously his problem.
The technological landscape & Bitcoin landscape are moving & changing extremely fast. You have to keep up just to stay alive. That is kind of normal.But anyway, I know I am not going to convince you,
To convince me, you need stronger arguments. The ones you have given are not super-strong and absolute.
Well, you could be correct to some extent. What you say may even be true and might happen, but the probability of that happening is rather low.
I am just saying not all anti-Classic people have evil agendas, that's all.
Nowehere I said that you have a hidden agenda.
Lately I am becoming better and better at detecting bullshit. I don't see any bullshit in what you are saying. Just average arguments.
