Your dukeness, you're colouring this to suit your narrative. I remember him being interviewed on June 18 when he said that they serve different purposes - referring to Bitcoin as a store of value/digital gold. The guy served on the board of coinbase.I presume you read Marcus' comment on btc/Libra; paraphrasing "btc/Libra have complimentary roles, Libra as a trransactonal currency, btc as a uncorrelated asset". Okay, no praise for btc there I suppose, faint or otherwise
Really? If it catches on, FBIcoin will on-ramp a shed tonne of new people to (almost) crypto - for the most part in developing countries. They will become accustomed to the idea of digital currency and then the flaws will also emerge in FBIcoin. It will be a much easier segue to move from one to the other and it should be seamless to move from one to the other.Agree with the diagnosis not with the prognosis. If FBIcoin catches on people will actually get to understand what they are and they will see clearly that compared to FBIcoin, btc is pure BOTHA.
How will movement from one to the other be prevented? If it's truly successful, then it will become a means of payment for all sorts of things. What of the implications then for your precious central banking and governments?
Been covered at length. Launch marmalade coin tomorrow and it will be worth jack - and it will remain as such. It's a non argument.Poor Caitlin, she is obviously unaware of the near 8,000 btc lookalikes.
Isn't it remarkable? It betrays that as much as proponents of decentralised crypto may come at it from a certain ideological bent, so too those who oppose. Isn't there plenty to be concerned about?I have no problem with FBIcoin.
A truly successful FBIcoin could seriously unhinge your centralised monetary system - the one that you love. it could be responsible for systemic risk. You think your privacy is going to be in good hands with FBIcoin? Not one bad thing to say about it - well I never. lol
Yes, and 'venezuela syndrome' does the rounds from one FIAT currency to the next to varying extents. Don't think for a second that this doesn't have implications for every central bank on the planet. If they screw up (which over the fullness of time, they will) then people will shift assets.I have no problem with FBIcoin. It could be useful to attack Venezuala syndrome,
That betrays that you have no notion of what you're talking about. Time to hit the books again, your dukeness.Interesting reflections by Caitlin on where the interest on the reserves will go, especially considering that on € assets that interest will be negative.
