    Haha, I’ll give you 100 CocoCoins if you can define what makes a cryptocurrency “fake” rather than real.

    This headline should probably say “FBI create a cryptocurrency to expose…”

    That said there are only a few cryptocurrencies I would call worthy of note or respect.

      The difference between a theist and an atheist is believing in one fewer God.

            It’s complicated. They are three but they are one according to their dogma.

            For me it’s a bullshit threshold: if you swallow this paradox, you’ll be ready to accept more.

            The difference between atheist and theist is the belief in N fewer gods, where N is the number of gods the theist believes in.

      You make the point that this cannot happen but surely some really have the intention to make an e-currency that has long term, legal use?

        I’m sorry, I just didn’t quite understand what you mean.

          Seems I missed reading the last line where you said you would respect some cryptocurrencies. I misunderstood.

            All good.

            And yeah for the record, I do think Bitcoin is pretty brilliant and that Etherium has some real unique utility. I think there are definitely some others that are genuine attempts to do something useful, but few that have really achieved much so far.
