Satoshi once said;
If you don't believe it or don't get it, I don't have the time to try to convince you, sorry.
Pomp brought it up during the debate but clearly didn't agree with it. He wastes his time on someone that is not ever going to concede that Bitcoin has value and is a better alternative to Gold in most fields aside from where Gold's physical aspect fetches demand from various industries. Peter is doing a good job protecting his own interests. Gold bugs can be proud.
this is exactly why i never liked these kinds of debates. i see no point in them. neither side is going to come down from their positions, they just stick to whatever the hell they think and just talk their heads off. in the end the viewer wastes his time while in the end is not able to make any conclusions.
An elections campaign debate is the first thing that comes to mind. It is also as pointless in so far as neither of the sides will refuse to come down. They will stick to whatever view or stand they have even up to the point of looking ridiculous. There's not a single reason to yield. But at the end of the day, the millions of viewers might make their decisions based on the debate, or at least it has an influence. So as much as possible, be convincing enough to the audience even if you know very well that you cannot do the same to your debate adversary.
