@teratology >any fixed supply of crypto is completely arbitrary. It doesn't have any value behind it like sticks do.
It's at least fixed unlike the US dollar.

You can't send a stick to the other side of the earth in 10 minutes.

>Most people who invested are holding coins through exchanges anyway.
Yes, those who "invest" rather than actually use it as a currency have all the coins in exchange wallets.

>Overlay networks and meshnets, why isn't that done again?
Monero already supports tor and has limited support for i2p.

>most people are using open source wallets over coinbase or Robinhood.
GNU/Jihad against "open source"!!!

I do reckon most people are actually using a free software wallet, although there are also many fools that use coinbase's or Robinhood's wallets.
