Re:Smart Contracts Are Useless on Wednesday February 24, 2021 @02:17AM (#26247483)
I believe the point is smart contracts became incontrovertibly useful in the summer of 2020.
New Yorkers haven't been allowed to trade on Bitfinex since 2017. That's when they updated their terms to discriminate against US entities. If US persons are illegally and fraudulently trading on Bitfinex, that does not give any US authority jurisdiction over Bitfinex. How grandiose.

As seen in various forms here: https://ethereum.org/en/dapps/

I can only guess that you are not familiar with the technical jargon.

Your pleading strikes me as potentially disingenuous, but I will speak earnestly in spite of that.

You will or (will not) be a "crypto fan" after you've absorbed enough technical literature to make your own judgement about what is happening. If you have the time, I recommend starting with the Bitcoin and Ethereum whitepapers.
