Bitcoin, Ether Sink as 'Sense of Panic' Grips Crypto Investors

13. Glad someone stood up...

Haha "This chain is like reading about "horseless" buggies"

Exactly... glad someone stood up and said something. I'm no good at argument (the reasoning kind). People, including every comment before yours, don't really understand crypto at all. They see the craze and think it's the technology when the craze is just crazy people.

Tulips are still pretty flowers. They aren't inherently bad. A bunch of crazy people made buying them bad.

And anyone reading... if you strip away the coin nonsense, the people who are talking about using crypto technology to help with voting ... they're actually for real and it could be a legit way (assuming we make it through the midterms) to secure our voting in the future. It would essentially guarantee that you could vote, record that vote, have it validated by multiple computer systems across the country and then be able to LOOK up your vote both while in the booth and then forever (literally, as long as the voting system is continued to be used) see exactly your vote cast.

(I still think we need paper ballots too.. but this has the potential to be very secure compared to our current computerized voting systems...)

Something that would never even have been considered without cryptocurrency and bitcoin.
