This is a very poorly considered argument. Even if we suppose that everything you've said is true, the existence of a second plausible explanation doesn't invalidate the first. You've not actually offered any reason why any of what I said is wrong, you just said "X is possible, therefore Y cannot be true."
Also, I want to note that this particular digression wasn't about cryptocurrency at all. The point I was responding to was a claim that blockchains had uses other than as currencies. So you really might want to step back a bit and consider what you think is being discussed here, and what you're actually trying to say.
Your suppositions are not infallible, mine do not need to be absolute truths to contend with yours.
And if you had offered any point of contention to my suppositions, I could respond to that. But as I've already explained, you didn't actually counter a single one of my arguments, or even understand what the subject of the discussion was.
I'm sorry, but I'm done responding to this. I'm not obligated to waste my time on nonsense that doesn't even rise to the basic factual definitions of "an argument."
