Um... what?

Limited resource physical commodities vs. a few bytes on your filesystem? This is a ridiculous comparison.

But what people mean when they say you could fork libcoin or something like that is not that Bitcoin isn't scarce. It's more along the lines of "We are in no way beholden to this psychotic black market pyramid scheme currency. We can just start anew with a better dispersement/capping scheme."




They are just a few bytes yes. But it's rather hard to generate the correct bytes.

Referring to the bytes that constitute a valid block in the blockchain.


"psychotic black market pyramid scheme currency"?
