Thank you, but no. I have had my share of wasting my time on a wild goose chase. Energy en infra independence is key. Once you can see that, all falls into place. The same requirements apply to any coin, with or without intrinsic value.

I do agree, some solutions are very interesting from a theoretical point of view. However, more practical and pressing considerations make these solutions hardly the stuff that escapes being sucked into the BORG-orbit.

I am fine with us disagreeing.

Allow me to pile on my previous espoused view concerning the infrastructure for communication.

Most critically, because internet service providers (ISPs) ultimately control the transportation layer of the internet, they could discriminate against packets coming from or directed toward a blockchain-based network, effectively tampering with its operations. Internet governance can therefore have a significant impact on the operations of a blockchain-based network. Particularly relevant in this context is the “net neutrality” debate. The practice of packet discrimination makes it possible for ISPs to favor certain blockchain-based networks, at the expense of others.

Think about what this Harvard Professor Lessig says in terms of control. How do you hinder a product to operate? Logistics and discrimination, deference to law enforcement.
