At least you admit the whole thing is stupidity lmfao, might wanna go bone up on your reading comprehension tests bud. I think Reader Rabbit Grade A is still being sold for those at the preK level.
Privacy-preserving ZKP is not dependent on blockchain technology or ethereum. You can have ZKP without the scam-o-sphere.
And I wouldn't be dying to own the cryptobros. I'd be dying to avoid one of the most destructive social moves in human history. A blockchain future is a bad future.

I want to complement you on your retort. The bit about "Reader Rabbit Grade A" got a good laugh, while also setting me down nostalgia lane. Stuff like that is a big part of why I spend so much time online in inane pissing contests like this.
> You can have ZKP without the scam-o-sphere.
ZKP value transfers cannot work without the scam-o-sphere. Banks won't do it, and it's illegal to do it in a private database, so the scam-o-sphere has to come along for the ride this time.
> A blockchain future is a bad future.
Man, all I wanted was some money that I could store on my computer and that the government couldn't debase.
> The loss of privacy
I'm sure you haven't heard of privacy-preserving zero knowledge proofs, have you? They make things so private that the US Treasury had to sanction an entire protocol because the money was too private and North Korea was using it to launder. Unlike cash, if you secure it properly then there isn't a serial number or physical item you could search for and seize.

Dying in order to own the cryptobros. That's a new one.
