malevolent dictator for life
zekiz@astrid you post that like they aren't connected
@zekiz it's true, they definitely are. The cryptocurrency enthusiasts don't seem to care much for the cryptography tho :)
@astrid yeah most just interested about money and don't want and won't understand the underlying technology.
I only see two crypto currencies having a real purpose besides as a speculation medium: that one that is able to store and search thorugh json so you're basically being able to use it as a database and Monero which is actually used as a currency and relatively stable.
@zekiz yeah I think the original use for cryptocurrency is the probably the best use that we're ever gonna get out of it - cybercrime and exchanging goods in a black market.
@zekiz monero is just strictly better than Bitcoin for that application
