  • A banknote is accepted as a means of exchange, ie a currency in a way that bitcoin and other crypto coins are not and cannot ever be due to the fees and delays in the system, not to mention the absurd volatility or lack of liquidity in the smaller coins.

  • I think it's because, at least in the case of bitcoin, it has no practical real world use other than hoarding like beanie babies, and therefore no real value. As a currency it's entirely useless.

    I have a bit more sympathy for ETH, maybe someday DeFi will produce something truly useful enough to justify the money in crypto, but it hasn't so far.

  • I honestly can't say I disagree with you on this. Voting blue is more a stay of execution than a solution. I voted 3rd party for decades. But I'm at the point now where the Republicans just need another sound defeat.

    I left the USA 25 years ago because I saw this coming with Bush Jr. I have been talking about fascism coming to the USA since then. I dont really see anything stopping this short of a full uprising. But at least we can have a rest in the march to fascist autocracy, right?

  • Well they can identify you are the same person but not your identity.. So it's like a disenbodied fingerprint.

    I suppose they could potentially make some database and train an AI on it someday to match to actual identities, but usefulness would be pretty limited at only 95% accuracy. That's a false reading 1/20 times, so I suspect it would fail bigly to accurately recognize people from large data sets.
