If someone makes a better mouse trap, then why should we give a fuck? We can just move over to using that better mousetrap, no?
< ... >

Because you got a bag of worse mousetraps, i.e. Bitcoin?

For some reason, you seem to be twisting my point. Yes, you can move over to the better mousetrap, if there is such a thing, and whether your worse mousetraps retain any value whatsoever is another part of the story and preparation. I personally believe that bitcoin is not a worse mousetrap, but it could be possible for some better mousetrap to emerge over time.. and each of us needs to decide for himself whether and how much to invest in that better mousetrap and the timing for such... which we may get wrong, in part.

1. You asked "If someone makes a better mouse trap, then why should we give a fuck?"
2. I explained to you why you should.

Instead of thanking me for setting you straight, you:

1. Tell me I "can move over to the better mousetrap," apropos of nothing.

2. Redundantly doubt the existence of a better mousetrap ("if there is such a thing"). So that's why you wrote "If someone makes a better mouse trap," not "THERE IS a better mousetrap"? Well I'll be...

3. Issue a confusing non sequitur: "and whether [my] worse mousetraps retain any value whatsoever is another part of the story and preparation."

4. Restate your faith in Bitcoin: "I personally believe that bitcoin is not a worse mousetrap," see (2).

5. Show what an open-minded bro you are by stating the obvious: "but it could be possible for some better mousetrap to emerge over time," stressing the temporal aspect of being with "emerge over time."

6. Share a platitude re. investing: "and each of us needs to decide for himself whether and how much to invest in that better mousetrap and the timing for such..."

7. And warn us to be prepared for [partial] failure, even if we choose to follow your sound financial advice: "which we may get wrong, in part."

...which is all good and well, and evaluates mostly to "true," but did you know that giraffes have special valves in their necks to prevent their brains from exploding when they bend down? And also a little snubber choke at 807 plate caps goes a long way for killing parasitics when you run a bunch in parallel?

Yeah, you are filling a bunch of space with your text, but so fucking what?

Your attempted break down, analysis and parsing of my post makes gobbledy gook out of the whole matter, no?

I mean if we are really attempting to better understand topical matters and to exchange ideas within this thread, then frequently, there is no need to break down and analyze the posts of others (yes sometimes there may be some need for that) but instead we attempt to get the gist of various ideas that are presented and figure out the extent to which we may agree or disagree, and respond to such or seek clarification.

Your post seems to be attempting some kind of analysis and parsing without really advancing any kind of meaningful attempt at a discussion, which may also be labelled as trolling. Roll Eyes
