Spoetnik is a guy so monumentally full of shit that I even unignored him because I was kinda missing those shitposts.
That made me smile ear to ear.. funny
Well i brought up 1 specific issue at first here but it is a larger topic.
Do i know my assertion is absurd ? yes i do
But as you can all see from the guys Solar Powered wallets idea.
That THERE may be in fact something we could do to dramatically improve the situation (of having no power for months)
We need to try though !
Who would have thought Bitcoin was coming way back ?
The idea of having a block-chain was genius no ?
So to me this Altcoin stuff should be about ..innovation. (over Bitcoin)
So i don't see any.
Maybe ANON features ..but i am convinced they are a bad innovation. (a key distinction)
They are screwed when it comes to adoption matters i think.
I have harped on that enough
I am more interested in losing power for a few months.
What will our coin scene be like ?
Is it wrong to look at this matter ?
Will coin prices be decimated on Exchanges ? Will they come back ?
What will happen with various coins ?
Such as a standard coin like BTC or similar ?
Sounds like fork central to me
I just hoped to bring up an interesting topic.
The users hoping to make money off this stuff seem to have a rather WIDE definition of the word "Innovation"
I deem it to be something that
improves on Bitcoin.
For example.. is STEEM a blogging platform thingy an improvement or.. just different ?
The only thing i ever hoped to accomplish here is to get people thinking.
If no one replied here i would have failed
Anyway so what do you think it would be like if North America lost power for a few months ?
The entire coin scene would simply resume and pick up where it left off later with no issues ?
Is there something we can all do ahead of time ?
I envision a new currency that people claim will make FIAT obsolete to be able to be used even with out power.
The fact FIAT is reliant on power and the web and satellites etc is a major problem as well.
I think we have a few scenarios too.. a few days or a few months (longer than that society will be damaged pretty bad)
NOTE:
South Korea and Germany are the two companies who make those giant power transformers.
North America has no replacements.
They need to be sent on boats and loaded onto special flat bed rail cars on trains.
They are VERY expensive.
If enough of them were fried out from a CME across North America do NOT hold your breath waiting for them to get fixed any time soon.
We are talking about the possible collapse of civilization and the transfer to a possible barter economy.
How does Crypto fit into this ? Any ideas people ?
You guys replying here ARE the front line.
It could be one of you here & now that has a revolutionary idea that is used globally.
PPS:in 2012 a major one passed Earth's orbit 2 weeks afterwards.. we were ALMOST nailed hard (
again)
