Yes, and the sky is blue. You keep bringing up straw men and then pivoting. I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve.

My last two comments do not seem to be 'pivoting' at all. Nor do they appear to be bringing up 'straw men', a non-substantiated claim isn't credible.

I was trying to achieve a response to your comment that: 'There is no conceptual reason why a distributed cryptographic currency could not take the place of cash for in person transactions. In realty crypto has many other issues, but not this one.'

There is in fact at least one conceptual reason 'why a distributed cryptographic currency could not take the place of cash for in person transactions'.
