Mea culpa on using the word "joke". My idealism is driving me too hard. Also I feel competitive when rpietila writes smugly that he thinks he found the perfect solutions already which was the catalyst for this recent set of posts from me after a hiatus.
Bitcon, Monero, and Cryptonite don't need to be perfect, they only need to offer a comparative advantage over fiat and the other altcoins; Gresham will do the rest. I'm no utilitarian, but marginalism is an undeniably useful tool.
Let RP be smug, the guy is Lord of Monero Manor. Being a Debbie Downer when he preens is unflattering, and makes you look like a player hater.
I don't get any such haughty vibes from his posts at all, but that's probably because I'd be a trillion times more insufferable given thousands of BTC and a castle. Especially when holding court in the wine cellar's dining room/library...
