I hope the CoreCoin drop will be worth something. A slightly inferior coin with 1 miner controlling 80% of the hashing power doesn't sound too tasty.
Don't you have some altcrash forum to troll in?
He's technically correct in a sense. The end game of bitcoin was ALWAYS going to be nothing more than one giant, continuous, rough consensus attack and then the state eventually steps in and declares that you're required to use some specific chain they hand tailor to screw you.
As for bitcoin vs metals, this is the macro for why history will eventually flush all the bitfools and iRetards down the toilet:
Indeed. And that is a good thing. We had discussed in great detail why gold is a barbaric relic whose time is coming to an end.
Some old guys still take Bitcoin profits into gold or silver, but the younger (and even GenX) guys realize gold is dying.
You are fighting against the laws of gravity if you believe metals will be displaced by craptocurrency. I'll take the Joseph Tainter position any day on this subject matter. When complex systems implode, they don't shift over to an even more complex system, they either go backwards in complexity or enter a full dark ages. Complexity is not inherently good, it's a liability. Another crux of the Joseph Tainter argument when extrapolated to it's end point is that overspecialization is essentially a Fermi Paradox-style extinction level event. The invisible hand of nature will force chaos and implosions at random intervals to prevent this. The world doesn't want "total order" as you always reference the term as being bad/an impossibility.
Metals always survive these random interval re-orgs of nature because they are very basic elements and almost indestructable; craptocurrency does not. Not to mention craptocurrency being a far inferior settlement system with no reason to even exist due to not removing counter party risk and having built-in rent seeking middlemen (transaction validators - so called "miners". An incorrect term that should really just be "middlemen").
