I am struggling to find a coherent point in what you have written.


Try this, Einstein:

> The bugs are self-imposed

I can send BTC to an address and it is there instantly. If you want to be more sure, wait until other nodes have confirmed. Even more safe? Wait for 6 blocks to be written after the one your transaction is on. It's up to you whether you want instant and less secure or wait a while and more secure. Does that make sense as far as coherence?


I'm don't know why you are being aggressively obtuse. I was talking about an ideological problem -- the fact that the 'bug' is that it is built on a libertarian fever dream which is nonsense, and it can never succeed because it espouses a flawed premise which it cannot abandon since it is baked into the code (deflationary money will never work).

It is possible you are getting upset because you are having a completely different conversation than the one you joined.

Obtuse?

Deflationary money hasn't been proven to not work. Set amount of tokens has its advantages over fiat that is printed infinitelt by the govt that issues it.
