Snails pace??
You wanna take a 2 second peek at the value of bitcoin over the past decade (over 7 years bitcoin is about 3000%, USD is approximately 32% over 10)
Banks do suck but there's absolutely no reason rich people can't manipulate bitcoin - maybe even easier than traditional money.
Put your money in gold or something that actually exists instead of an imaginary number that's limited in supply
Yeah but asphalt is usually chosen due to it being the cheap and easy option, I can't imagine anywhere that hasn't already used concrete is happy to spend more on their parking lot unless forced, and tbh if of there's enough solar panels in the world to match US's parking lot surface area
'One of the most successful, widely used, and forked protocols'
SSH is also a protocol, tho I'll admit maybe its 'one of the few' above bitcoin - but I can come up with a page of examples that top it if you need (HTTP, TCP, UDP, RTSP, RGMII...)
Definitely a broad average but I don't feel like its unfair to say each generation up is a bit more reserved that the younger
God damn bitcoin >> SSH?? (1999)
That's a pretty steamy take if I've ever heard one
Its like China calling itself communist, like sure maybe its 0.1% more than ultra capitalist US, but both they're both shit
Capitalists will even sell you communism if it makes them a dime, end result is cryptocurrency is half assed solving a problem that doesn't really exist.
Like inflation is a great example, you shouldnt have to add modifiers onto its definition, inflation is inflation - bitcoin by design must inflate
Oh yeah buddy what temp is it outside rn?
Asphalt loves heating cities up
Termux/X11, sideloading, native Godot, file management, devic recycleability/reuseability, THE FUCKING BACK BUTTON, and crazy enough sometimes privacy even against apple's marketing stance (this is a bit more controversial, but in a high privacy situation things like universal android debloater just can't exist on apple - and having Icloud 'helpfully' store your encryption keys for you has felt as private as keeping it in my garage server)
But hey for some people the fisher-price option is the best option
Its also important to note 'why not just ban that type of tracking? No sane citizen would prefer to be stalked'
Its a massive market for Facebook and much much easier to push propaganda with it, so no sane politician would do they - they just gotta be extra sneaky and make it a racist thing
A sorta micro VPS per game swarm can be made locally, and other pretty specific use cases but in theory could build up things like parsec arcade in a Foss way
What take then cause I don't got all day to chase your goalposts and I'm already tired of it
