I’ve often thought of crypto as money not meant to be used by humans (for the majority of use cases), but rather to be used by much more by and for machines
Agree that the machines should use block chain for efficiency of transfer. But I do think humans should be using a new form of value. Maybe you just mean it shouldn't feel complicated? I totally agree there. My point though is we should be denominating value in a scare assets that's value comes from supply and demand.
Oh for sure Part of what excited me the most about blockchain in 2016 was programmable money, and the concepts of a machine readable web, of which payments is a huge part. This was actually Web 3.0 before crypto popularized the term
Yeah could imagine self driving cars running flash auctions for gray zone situations like lane changes or passing; could also support on the go recharging or local knowledge transfer
I agree in most cases except Bitcoin, the whole selling point of Bitcoin for me was the inability to use Paypal and overcoming roadblocks due to age restriction and digital good sales. I try not to lose touch with that as I age
Machines and maybe the not so normal tech savvy human that knows when it’s appropriately worth it to use crypto instead of fiat money.
One of the issues that it can solve is payments between gateways. This is huge as everything is done instantly and not after s month and then companies adjusting pennies to get everything right.
Yeah I felt like this was crypto’s telos ever since I read accelerando a decade+ ago
