@knucklesandwich @ddahlke I just got an Aeropress last weekend. Very nice.
The nodes comprising the network are not a resource that is being depleted. It is trivial and cheap to add more nodes.
I find this claim to be flawed b/c Tragedy of the Commons refers to a group depleting a shared, finite resource.
I keep seeing claims that Bitcoin is doomed due to lack of direct incentivization to run a node. People are claiming Tragedy of the Commons.

If your private keys would be lost forever in the case that you get hit by a truck today, your redundancy is insufficient.

@cryptotraveler This is, of course, completely ignoring the philosophical issue of having to lend money to people to retain purchasing power
@cryptotraveler @jerrybrito Yeah, it fluctuates a lot - you can thank the Federal Reserve for that. His arg seems to be over long term.
@binarybits Run the same inflation rate vs interest rate analysis on all the other govt issues currencies and we’ll see how the arg holds up
@cryptotraveler @jerrybrito makes a good point that you won’t lose purchasing power if you store dollars in a bank w/avg interest rates.
@jerrybrito If the entire world only used one medium of exchange, that sure would simplify things, wouldn’t it? ;-)
@jerrybrito D’oh!
@jerrybrito Thus it might be more accurate for your title to be “no replacement for the dollar” rather than “govt money” in general.
@jerrybrito Right, I’m saying that it would be great to see you run the numbers to quantify its usefulness as a safe haven from inflation.
