I’m not advocating for or defending cryptocurrency. I’m asking questions to clarify what it is you are asking. I don’t see why you think I am deflecting. Asking questions is as old as the Socratic method.

If you don’t think analogies to cash are a good answer to your questions, please restate your question. I’m not using cash as an analogy, I’m using it as a counter-example in the monetary marketplace that proves that different monetary instruments have different properties, some of which are inherent to the medium of exchange. I want to know why you think cash isn’t a good answer to your questions. I also am curious why you think cryptocurrency is a bad answer to your questions, if indeed you do.




as expected...

I asked a question about how an immutable ledger, with public consensus, deals with the reversal transactions as ordered by the rule of law. Do you have an answer for that?
