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.
