agreed ❤ I'm just confused about what the maxi position is exactly. do you really think it's plausible that supply is NEVER going to be guaranteed by cryptography? I understand people feeling it's too early or too untested. but I don't understand thinking that it's okay to use cryptography to guarantee ownership and transferability, but that supply verification is something that is absolutely taboo. it's not an intellectually consistent position. I don't think it's any different than people at the beginning of the 20th century refusing to ride in cars. " I don't trust it because I don't understand an engine. show me the horse, I need my transportation to be easily personally verifiable. " and sure, I get it. people died in those early cars. but we figured it out and now it's normal. trust in technical advancements increases over time.

I don't personally find value in a combative approach when it comes to Monero. I don't view it as a shit coin, which perhaps would cause me to be combative depending on the situation. If someone I care about is getting scammed, I'll offer a warm warning. If people want to shit coin, go for it. If someone tries to force one onto me (or anything really), that's when I think it's worth being combative. Otherwise I just don't see the point. I much prefer discussing ideas rationally and reducing my ignorance where I can. Certainly no one is forcing Monero or Bitcoin, so I figure we should all use whatever we think is best.
