    You, my friend, are much smarter than I am so I will defer to you. I did not see things from those angles till you brought it up, and your example makes complete sense.

    If companies/govt agencies won't transition to systems that are already more efficient, scalable, and cost effective, what makes you think they will transition to blockchain? Plus the transition would take a VERY long time, everyone would have to buy into it. Like I said, it's not just about...

    Dude it took 50+ years for cloud computing to take off. Blockchain technology is still being developed. I'm not bashing the idea, blockchain is beautiful. But the implementation of the idea has several factors that go into it, politics, money, time, etc Nobody is being "steamrolled" anytime...

    Dude, that was exactly my point in a few posts above. Companies/govt agencies are not going to switch to blockchain simply because the idea is brilliant and can change the world. And as far as I know, there would be no economic incentive to change to it anytime soon. Especially when companies...

    Do you guys think the blockchain is some sort of thing you can put on a USB and upload into a computer and call it a F*cking day? There's a reason why IT is a trillion dollar industry and why companies pay consultants $300 an hr just to tell them, "hey your IT infrastructure is shit, do this...

    You're comparing apples and oranges. I work in IT, come from generations of people who worked in IT. I see this shit firsthand. Blockchain technology isn't some sort of tangible good like a F*cking car or a smartphone. If you're a business owner or CEO and you switch over to the blockchain...

    That is a terrible comparison. Prior to the internet, there was no internet. There's are already something similar to a blockchain, it's called a database. Only difference is, is that blockchain is decentralized, allows us to conduct secure transactions that are encrypted, and it would be...

    You have to understand that in order for the blockchain to work, entire industries would have to agree to the idea. That's going to take a very long time, most companies are using completely outdated technology. Don't even get me started on the government... The only companies/people who are...

    Fair enough, I get what you're saying and where you're coming from. I can't deny the presence and growing influence/value of cryptocurrency, my opinion doesn't change that. Do you think this will be ever adopted by the masses though? If you explained what cryptocurrency is to the common man...

    You came into this thread and made literally no valid points, all you did was attack "OP". That's called an ad hominem. How about you actually contribute something of worth? J Scott came in and did that and moved how I think about cryptocurrency. And to justify the validity of...

    So you took the time to come into this thread, read what I had to say, type out multiple comments without making any sort of valid statement, and then say its pointless to argue and on top of that, call me uninformed? How does that make sense to you? If I'm so stupid and uninformed why even...

    Here's the thing; I can't take a chuck-e-cheese coin and sell it for more than what it is, or even sell it for that matter. I can't use Frequent Flier miles other than what it's intended to be used for. I can take Sia Coin for example, which is made to rent out cloud space from other people's...

    Go on most of these crypto websites and they use the same buzzwords, "Scalability, decentralized, private, secure, etc" It's all a bunch of crap, 95% of the crypto's aside from Bitcoin and Ethereum use the same exact code that Bitcoin and Ethereum were made from! But with their minor...

    No, I did read what you said. And your comment has made me completely reevaluate my opinion, and I'm being completely serious. My question is though, why not just incorporate that blockchain technology to our already existing currency? What's the point of creating all these different types...

    We buy stocks to make money. And now, we buy crypto to make money. But crypto was meant to replace money, or to replace the existing government currencies I should say.

    If the government creates their own official crypto and bans all others, that would go completely against the whole idea and philosophy behind cryptocurrency lol

    Hmmm, I've read that other thread. And the guy who started the thread makes excellent points. Blockchain technology could potentially change the world, look up the Hyperledger project, there are some major corporations backing the idea/project. But this thread is moreso about the currency...

    I'm not disagreeing with what you've said, you're right. But people are not using crypto for its intended use, they are using it as a way to invest and make money. It's become just like stocks, except it's supposed to be currency. And I have no emotional connection to crypto, I do however...

    The value of cryptocurrency comes from it's hype, nothing else. The idea was, since the dollar is in the control of the few and powerful, and since its inherently worthless, cryptocurrency would come along and change all of that. But really all it did was provide another avenue for people to...
