Nobody uses it. A tiny fraction of the population on earth have touched it, can touch it, or even know what it is. Very small infinitesimal fraction. When you look at it like that, it really affects your view.
These are things for Bitcoin to aspire to. Bitcoin is for speculating. Maybe it becomes the money you are describing, but I disagree, and that is the point of Grin. The purpose of Grin is to become the world currency system that Bitcoin sought to be. It was experiment 1. Do you think it is successful?
I don’t know. I am in full agreement with things that I thought were crazy not too long ago.
We have this common.
Again, I understand this is the thought from people who believe that the Peirce-Arrow is the wave of the future. I love having that conversation, but we’re here to talk about how to achieve what Bitcoin did not, and cannot, for Grin
With its extreme consolidation, and given the fact that nobody on the planet uses it aside for a tiny percentage of people who gamble with it currently, Bitcoin has a serious existential problem if it wanted to become the MOE/world currency that you are describing. That is the point of Grin. It’s the point of this emission schedule.
Exactly. And replace “wins” with “survives.”
Grin is not competing with Bitcoin’s use case. However, in order for Grin to survive it must be competitive with everything (until it gets out of here) lest if fall into a liquidity trap and get 51% attacked to death in a downward spiral.I never stop thinking about that because I have all my friends to remind me about it. haha!
You don’t sound like you care much for Grin’s benefit…
…You obviously do. And you don’t think Grin is a testnet for Bitcoin hopefully.
Bitcoin has a major psychological barrier to overcome, which it can. The Bitcoin CEO should hire the same team that tired to reconstitute the brand equity of Paris Hilton and turn her into Hedy Lamar. That was a complete failure, but they can bring what they learned to this equally impossible undertaking.
Grin is Grin. We have a fresh start with this one.
