- Linus Torvalds, creator of Linux, does not believe in cryptocurrencies, calling them a vehicle for scams and a Ponzi scheme.
- Torvalds was once rumored to be Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto, but he clarified it was a joke and denied owning a Bitcoin fortune.
- Torvalds also dismissed the idea of technological singularity as a bedtime story for children, saying continuous exponential growth does not make sense.
I use anonymous currency daily without issue. It’s called cash.
You can’t use cash online tho
You just have to fold it really small to poke it down the wires.
It’s a series of tubes, actually. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_of_tubes
True. Although you can put cash on a debit card and spend that online. Pseudo anonymous because there is some degree of traceability.
In which fairy tale cash is anonymous?
All fairy tales. Stories are awash with bags of coins and no-one ever worries who owned the cash previously.
Yeah, tell that to the officers who investigate fake cash and money laundering.
Sorry. Which fairy tales have officers who investigate fake cash and money laundering?
Neither of which have anything to do with the anonymity of cash.
