@pig_poetry You might be on to something. Imagine the market for a beer you could drink at the end of the night so as to not drive drunk.
@balajis That map sure looks familiar… getaddr.bitnodes.io
IDK about you, but I can’t wait to get crunk on powdered alcohol. Technological advancement FTW! http://t.co/ScqG4LW1bF

@binarybits In an ideal world, you would be correct. But I’m fairly certain that you’re not. http://t.co/NRICK3keYx
@cryptotraveler This is, of course, completely ignoring the philosophical issue of having to lend money to people to retain purchasing power
@cryptotraveler @jerrybrito Yeah, it fluctuates a lot - you can thank the Federal Reserve for that. His arg seems to be over long term.
@binarybits Run the same inflation rate vs interest rate analysis on all the other govt issues currencies and we’ll see how the arg holds up
@cryptotraveler @jerrybrito makes a good point that you won’t lose purchasing power if you store dollars in a bank w/avg interest rates.
@jerrybrito If the entire world only used one medium of exchange, that sure would simplify things, wouldn’t it? ;-)
@jerrybrito D’oh!
@jerrybrito Thus it might be more accurate for your title to be “no replacement for the dollar” rather than “govt money” in general.
@jerrybrito Right, I’m saying that it would be great to see you run the numbers to quantify its usefulness as a safe haven from inflation.
@jerrybrito @CathyReisenwitz @Jim_Harper I’d like to see you run inflation vs interest rates analysis for all other govt issued currencies.
Prediction: cryptocurrency will cause changes to legal systems, not the other way around.
