    Since you made the analogy in an attempt to explain how my position was wrong while being completely ignorant of my position it makes no difference what the analogy is.

    You’re wrong because you intentionally and disingenuously attempt to put words into my mouth over and over, because you’re a moron who can’t see the forest for the trees.

    You don’t get to pick what I say

    If self awareness was a disease you’d be the healthiest person alive.

      your position is very clear. You think blockchains are a solution to something, but with some “teething issues” that will be solved by someone else because it’s not your job to even think about them.

      While ignoring the fact that those teething problems have been there from the start, are still there even though tons of people have actually looked at them and made attempts to solve it, and figured out that it is an unfixable issue fundamental to this technology (or any other, really).

      If what we need is a white cube, you’re presenting a white sphere and focusing on how white it is, instead of the fact that no matter how white you make it, it will still never be a cube. because it’s a sphere.

      None of the blockchain technologies solve the root of trust problem. None of them does because that step has to be solved before the blockchain can be trusted in the first place.

      The problem we have in real life is not mutability of data. That’s been a solved problem for ages. Give me a file digitally signed by you, and I can forever use it to verify that you haven’t modified your copy (assuming your private key was not compromised.l, which is an issue shared by any blockchain too) and also that I haven’t modified mine…

      The problem we have in real life is establishing a root of trust before we start exchanging data. Blockchains don’t and can’t tackle this. So they are not a solution to the problem that we do have.

        I’ve read half a sentence and you’ve already got my position wrong, for something that is so clear how do you not get it?

        Keep trying to force your ignorance through my lips, I’ll keep telling you you’re the moron you are.

            Wow, asking the correct question, the first intelligent thing you’ve said this whole time.

            Unfortunately for you, I don’t reward belligerence, should have asked sooner.
