xvector - thank you for trying to explain crypto and its main pros here. I think some people won't still be convinced...

We will have to see what happens 10 years from now. There are equally good defenders from both sides. Buffett and co are either trained on old data, or are trained on large amounts of data(through reading). We will find out!

What xvector misses is that to a lot of people, those aren't pros.

It's not a case of not being convinced - I am quite convinced cryptocurrency can deliver some of those things like immutable transactions and lack of government ability to monitor or block cashflows - but I am also quite convinced they are backward steps.
