You don't have all your paper money in your wallet with you all the time, right?

If I lose my wallet now I can go to my house and I have money to eat. If I lose my phone (or my wallet with card in a cashless society) I'm in a bigger problem in the short term

Nothing technical there but it is a central bank backed digital currency that IMHO exists as a consequence of cryptocurrencies.

My 2 eCents :P

GTD and a trello board works for me (when I have the discipline to keep it up to date)

I've used this guide (https://hamberg.no/gtd/) to start and really didn't need anything else

This is why I've never really deleted my FB account, I've just deactivated it. If I don't believe they would truly delete the data I might better have it available if I want it

I dont have the data but probably most applicants are 20-30 too.

My grandfather worked at a casino decades ago, and they interchanged the roulettes between tables, I can't remember if it was daily or weekly

To be fair, I don't think paper money is backed by anything more than "trust" in the goverments that print it, and that people will accept that as payment.

If you "trust" the bitcoin network, and think that someone may accept bitcoin in exchange for something that you want, it looks pretty similar (obviously not comparable in scale yet)

AFAICT transaction fees aren't the reason someone "invests" or buys bitcoin, if you buy bitcoin you don't get a fraction of those fees. If you want that you should invest in mining, so I think the initial part of the analysis is flawled.

The second part looks like nothing to say, backed by a lot of non sensical numbers, but I'm not a native english speaker and also generally don't read nor like economic "analysis", so I may be wrong

The high transaction fees and long transaction delays are turning into a reason why people are starting to question bitcoin.

This. A lot.

I work at a company with less than 500 people and for IT open source is evil.

I've seen people been told by IT to find another software that does the same thing but paid, and we have a law that mandates us to prefer FLOSS when possible...
