Yeah, but there’s a solution for that.

Nobody comes here for the tuna.

Yikes. I would get my own modem and router then.

Would you like a hug?

That’s how you know they’re paying attention!

Guys, I think this is a troll account. Probably from the same bad actors that caused the original issue OP is complaining about.

Illegal images didn’t work, so they took the “talk about Nazis” approach.

Cat.

Can one not participate in another’s parody?

What an absolutely fucking braindead take

It is useful for parts of HR like properly filing tax forms, employee leave requests, onboarding/off boarding, etc. Basically they can handle paperwork type things, but are generally not so great at conflict resolution and culture type things.

Which time? lmao

Best part:

“The Labs team is hard at work hard creating processes and tools”

Didn’t even take the time to proofread his response to someone saying he needs to slow down and verify things…

Nah. At least not as a replacement for USD any time in the near future.

It’s in a weird position where it’s best as very anti-consumer or very pro-consumer implementations.

For example, digital concert or sports tickets sell out to scalpers almost immediately. If they were issued via blockchain and invalidated if resold again it would be extremely difficult for scalpers to continue (like, having to sell a whole physical device or spoof private keys or something). This would eventually make the practice die out, and people could just buy tickets to things without an artificially inflated market.

Conversely, an audio and/or video codec could prevent “unauthorized” devices from playing digital media they aren’t “authorized” to play. This would have quite the impact on the complexity of media piracy. Similar to Steam some time ago, this makes paying money for things easier than pirating again, but is extremely prone to said corporations misbehaving.

There’s also more complex possibilities, like digitizing municipal voting or permanent record keeping on private chains. Most people get confused about these and without a technology and cryptography background, and realistically at least some background in social services or macro logistics, the average person only has scammers and finance bro wannabees to learn from. That goes exactly as well as you’d expect.

Money is just made up in the first place. If instead you mean using it as an efficient way to represent allocating specific physical resources, perhaps. In the upcoming dystopian apocalypse where people still have to go work meaningless jobs to survive while the search burns around them, perhaps using a blockchain for ‘fuel points’ and ‘drinkable water points’ or something makes sense.

But as a general purpose currency it seems needlessly complex, and we already have a needlessly complex financial system. Changing the complexity doesn’t solve enough problems to be worth it.

As a currency? Yes please. Kill it all.

As a niche technology that very few people would otherwise know exists and even fewer would know how to use, but can be surprisingly effective if implemented properly? It’s ok.

Exactly. Paying is the point
