Seems like you would not know an ad hominem attack if it slapped you in the avatar.

The fact that I asserted that your proclamations regarding bitcoin mining being the foundation of bitcoin's value were too simple and I pointed out some ways in which to account for other ways to account for value including seven network effects does not become ad hominem merely because I may have used some tonal (and/or patronizing emphases... to attempt the exaggerate how dummie I consider your claim(s) about bitcoin mining as the foundations of bitcoin's value to be, to the extent that you have even adequately and sufficiently outlined any kind of claim that is worthy of consideration.
