      They mean nothing in the sense its nothing you cant do with DBs, so like I said, big words that mean nothing

        Cryptography - means that only you can make changes. No database administrator. No hacker. No-one but you.

        Limited actions - means the changes you make must follow rules that cannot be altered by anyone.

        Both impossible to implement on a normal DB, which is why bitcoin was revolutionary.

          1. thats not what cryptography means, and is a huge fucking downside especially for banking which us centrally controlled

          2. It’s called triggers, user roles etc, once again you dont want this to be unalterabale for banking because what if regulations change…

          Only thing bitcoin revolutionized was the speed with which scammers can dupe people out of their money.

            thats not what cryptography means,

            You didn’t even know what “those big words” meant a second ago.

            downside especially for banking which is centrally controlled

            Banking doesn’t need to be centrally controlled. It only has been for the past few hundred years.

            1. It’s called triggers, user roles etc,

            Why pay and trust a 3rd party control those?

            what if regulations change…

            You update the smart contracts

            The only thing bitcoin revolutionized was the speed with which scammers can dupe people out of their money.

            Almost true. Scams are not the only thing revolutionized.

              Dude, my name literally contains “coding” you made the assumption I didn’t understand it…

              Yeah banking needs to be controlled because what if something goes wrong, you can’t be this dense, stolen credit cards, stolen identity wring transaction, what if the validators disagree what is the truth ala bitcoin split?

              Blockchain is woefully inadequate to manage finances…

                No. You admitted those words mean nothing to you.

                what if something goes wrong

                You plan for each eventually and ensure all responsibilities are understood.

                stolen credit cards, stolen identity wring transaction,

                Multisignature, limit controlled wallets

                what if the validators disagree what is the truth ala bitcoin split?

                Wait for a few blocks before assuming your transaction is confirmed. Don’t be dishonest during a fork event.

                Blockchain is woefully inadequate to manage finances…

                The general public is woefully uneducated and unsupported for blockchain managed finances, but the technology is fine.

                  I have literally explained to you what I meant, there is nothing to admit, lmao.

                  This is the issue with cryptobros you just think you are so much smarter than everyone else, and everyone else must be stupid and just not understand how crypto works.

                  Meanwhile you cant even see the huge flaws with the technology, you think " just wait and don’t be dishonest" while there is a disagreement and unrecoverable split in the network is a viable solution… fucking hell that’s such a childish take
