    Yes, you let us know when that happens, and we'll see how many people you can pry away from social media, videogames, etc to risk their lives supporting your highly abstract, theoretical ideas completely divorced from their everyday lives.

    From your own words:

    > Yes, actually, being this volatile makes Bitcoin worthless as a currency.
    and
    > There are blockchain technologies with a grand future, and Bitcoin is not one of them.

    If being volatile makes a cryptocurrency worthless, then why would other cryptocurrencies have a grand future, unless they are not volatile?

    Since you can't point to me any cryptocurrencies that aren't volatile, then according to your own logic, they must all be worthless. Hence, there cannot be any cryptocurrency with a "grand future". You are fundamentally wrong. Either you don't realize it, or are trying to distract from your failure by coming up with other reasons to support your conclusion without acknowledging your premise.

    Oh, I see. You can't defend your original reason for your conclusion, so now you come up with new ones. You had trouble coloring within the lines when you were a child, yes?

    Wait, so the reason that bitcoin will fail is because it's volatile, and we should look to other cryptos with a more grand future? Hmm... where are these very stable cryptos you are talking about?

    People have been arguing the same point for several years now about volatity. It didn't stop it from gaining ground then, so it probably won't affect it now. Your prediction will probably be proven wrong, and therefore not age well.

    But if he did grant power of attorney, the only way that would be useful in a situation in which one only has the documents on the person's body to go by, means that he'd have had to write the power of attorney contract on his chest as well.

    Nope. Whenever you send any money the entire amount gets sent and the change goes to a newly created address. It's impossible to tell which address is the change and which is the actual payment, because the order in the transaction is randomized.

    It costs money to do anything legally. Even defending yourself I'm court requires time taken off of work and at least bus fair get to the court. A fee to the private companies to read the law is just on top of what one normally does to respect the judicial system.

    Besides which, think of the added benefit to the economy and additional tax revenue on this exchange which is used to help support public services from fire and police to public libraries, infrastructure and child protection services. Won't anyone think of the children?
