    No but they’re supporting the existence of personal cars which are a blight at this point.

    We don’t need more cars. We need more public transit. We don’t need crypto.

      The analogy doesn’t stretch to allowing fiat to be compared to public transport.

      A medium that is decimated when Trump shouts “Tariff” is not a gold standard.

      Fiat is only the gold standard when it is backed by actual gold.

        Your analogy was already sloppy to begin with, I’m not sure I’m really going to buy into your applying it or saying it doesn’t apply only when it suits your argument

          Dude, you brought the slop.

          Saying PoS is supporting PoW is like saying EVs support ICEs.

          Would you like another go at explaining how your half baked public transport analogy fits into this?

            I encourage you to reread the thread. I did not introduce the ICE engine analogy, or the follow up about EV’s. That was you then echodot

                Dude it was expanding on the analogy you fucking introduced. Read the thread. Go back, reread it. It’s right there.

                    dude for fuck’s sake do you really not see the connection between discussing cars and public transportation, especially when we are talking about efficiency?

                    You have also completely moved the goalpost. The first comment talking about cars/ICE engines/transportation means in general started with you. You created this bullshit analogy. I am tired of talking about this. Move the fuck on.
