    No no, @sexy_peach@feddit.de did the web3 stuff, if you want to prove your point, provide a link similar like the one in the post about it. Why should anyone do your homework for you?

    Should be easy-peasy. Can’t wait.

      My point was that just like how bad stuff happens in the traditional finance world and no one with a working brain would say that it’s all bad the same standard should apply to crypto

        My point is that you’re comparing an unregulated scam-infested free-for-all with a regulated industry that has audit requirements from here to Pluto.

        You’re trying to make it seem as if the banking system is as bad as cryptocurrency/NFT/web3 scene. It’s not, not by a long shot. It’s far from perfect, obviously, but that’s like saying “hey let’s all drink gasoline; it gives you a hell of a kick, and you can die of drinking regular water anyway too”.

          yes because bankers using their customer’s funds to speculate then losing it all having to be bailed out by the government using taxpayer’s funds isn’t horrible, having your purchasing power be devalued by central banks isn’t horrible, having your account frozen because of some faulty algorithm isn’t horrible and being blocked from the financial system because the government said so isn’t horrible

            No, all of these things are horrible. But also none of these things is solved by cryptocurrencies/NFTs/web3.

              crypto with strong monetary policy can never be minted by a tiny minority

              no one can stop you from receiving funds

              no one can stop you from borrowing/lending using a defi protocol even if the developers add checks to the front end you can always just use your own front end

              you can vote on the direction of monetary policy in crypto

              you can vote on the direction of defi protocols

              you can send funds to anyone in the world for a few cents

              if you don’t like the direction a crypto is going in you can fork it and go your own way

                crypto with strong monetary policy can never be minted by a tiny minority

                Six mining pools control over 80% of all Bitcoin mining. Who controls these pools? Pretty sure it’s not the majority of Bitcoin users.

                no one can stop you from receiving funds

                Tell that to the person that used the DAO contract to receive funds from it, and then Ethereum hard-forked to stop them from receiving these funds. Or anyone who has a blacklisted wallet. :-)

                I mean, how does these two things — the Ethereum hard-fork because of DAO bug, and wallet blacklists — not show that clearly the whole crypto sphere is just bull? That’s literally the most basic promise cryptobros make; and yet it simply does not hodl.

                no one can stop you from borrowing/lending using a defi protocol

                And then you can use the borrowed funds to gain voting majority and empty a Proof of Stake coin. 🤣

                you can vote on the direction of monetary policy in crypto

                …but your vote will not mean much, since the whales will have their way anyway.

                you can vote on the direction of defi protocols

                And the vote will be safely ignored.

                Come on, try harder. This is amateur hour!

                  Those six mining pools cannot mint more btc and there are other cryptos other than btc

                  That’s ethereum you moron there are literally several other blockchains in existence that have not hardforked to reverse a transaction. How is someone using their borrowed funds to do something unethical disproving my point that no one can stop you can from borrowing funds . When have whales ever stopped ethereum classic users and other hard forks from moving away from the monetary policy of the original chains. Most defi protocols don’t ignore the outcome of votes no one forces you to use a particular one

                    Of course they can. That’s literally what they do, it’s just called “mining”. But also, if they pooled together and got over the magic 50% of global mining capacity, they could just rewrite history, moving any BTC any way they wanted.

                    That’s ethereum you moron

                    Please either stop calling me names, or get more creative. This uncanny valley of dank aggro is unamusing.

                    Also, Ethereum happens to be one of the most popular blockchains. If that’s not indicative of the rest of community, what is?

                    Also also, are you saying Ethereum is a failed project because of the DAO hard-fork?

                    Also also also, that’s like me claiming that this little local bank I know here around the corner doesn’t do unethical stuff and so that disproves your whole point about banks being evil. So are banks not evil, or is cherry-picking not a winning strategy? 🤔
