Unsure what you’re saying. Getting vaccinated is not the most important thing? Masks, distancing, and good ventilation don’t further drive down risk? What’s the misinformation, exactly?

Agreed, the URL WG “spec” should never have been created

Why is datatracker.ietf.org/doc/htm… not sufficient? If it isn’t, why not update that?

Probably true. Still, the idea of police hand-cuffing an 8yo is utterly absurd from my (German) perspective

I’ve bought both limited edition prints and actual original art. I enjoy the latter much more

I understand that point of view, even though I don’t necessarily agree with it

To me, there’s an incredible amount of bullshit in that space that defrauds investors, furthers scams, and hurts the folks who actually want to pursue some of the technically interesting new options it creates.

I don’t have a startup, but on a working, non-PoW Ethereum-style platform, extremely complicated rules about licensing music right would be a fantastic example for decentralization, i.e. getting rid of the labels as intermediaries. Doesn’t matter whether you’d call that an NFT

I think there are people who believe in it as a way towards a different and better financial system, but the criticism of cryptocurrencies as a public blockchain application is the one I have the least disagreements with

But that’s my point. Universal dismissal is rarely justified.

I stopped reading at “blockchain” because everyone using that term is an idiot

Yet its purpose is reduced to speculation, Ponzi schemes, and scams, and everyone who looks at it for genuinely interesting purposes is lumped together with the criminals and their naive victims.

I’m not saying that is not happening. I’m arguing it’s not the purpose Bitcoin or Ethereum have been created for, and they have value beyond that, at least potentially. And it’s not the motivation for everyone who’s involved.

I’ve been hearing those arguments (and have been clinging onto that hope) for a few years now. As of now, it’s still just vaporware AFAICT. I still hope you’ll be able to remove the future tense from your statements some time soon.

My problem is that declaring something a Ponzi scheme means saying there's absolutely no value in it, in no circumstances, for no use cases, nada, zilch. While there’s a ton of valid criticism, I don’t see that being the case. But I’m happy to agree to disagree.
