Interesting. I think you have moved the goalposts, but perhaps in a useful way. It's possible I misunderstand some of the semantics - it's difficult to be precise in e-media.

For example, "Conclusion: There's no advantage to anyone in denominating prices in crypto over any other arbitrary denomination." When I trade crypto, my objective is always to gain more crypto and I'm acutely aware of denominating prices in crypto, rather than any form of fiat. When another person trades crypto they may be trying to maximize $USD value and may be very aware of denominating perceived value in $USD terms. Such distinctions are very important in my world because each of us may think we have gained on the same transaction precisely because we were denominating our gain in different terms.

For the moment I'm stuck on the issue of conflating "crypto" with "blockchain" since there is now at least one viable crypto coin without a blockchain. I'm reflecting on whether your various blockchain points would apply to it, but that's not germane to the Dash thread.

Still thinking. Thanks for the stimulus!
