As I posted further down - most of the issues here seem to stem from people having this idea that in the extreme long term Bitcoin takes over the world and &#x27;their&#x27; (as if this is some sort of holy war?) green bits of paper become firewood or something.<p>That isn&#x27;t a realistic model for how the world works and is really just an odd way of thinking.<p>I can play Quake 3 and have fun with it, and post blogs about it, without thinking it&#x27;s going to destroy every other video game out there ever, without debating whether it even is a video game, etc. Hey, it has fast inverse square root, that&#x27;s cool, but it&#x27;s not going to result in the actual world being deleted and exchanged for CGI VR land.<p>Fundamentally it seems to be that there&#x27;s some element of &#x27;faith in the concept&#x27;, that is turned off when it comes to money, perhaps as a protection mechanism. I don&#x27;t know.<p>... Just chill out, you know? I might go out for a run soon. You can still walk, don&#x27;t worry, it&#x27;s not banned (I also walk, it&#x27;s useful, maybe we can be friends?).
