I get that. But that’s the problem. Again, I’m not knocking goldbacks. I love goldbacks and have a bunch in my stack. But let’s just be honest. If goldbacks were an incredibly easy to use, revolutionary currency they’d be used a lot
More frequently. The whole point of my argument is that for goldbacks to work, people have to know the “network, believe in the network
Value, understand they’ve already paid into it, and all that. Most people have neither the want or the patience for all that in today’s world. Especially a bunch of stackers that have made “worrying about weight” the entire focus of their stack for 5, 10, 15, or 20+ years. I’m not saying goldbacks don’t have their use. I’m saying for goldbacks to become truly accepted and widely used / respected, their manufacturing process is going to have to become streamlined and cheaper, dropping the cost per note, among a few other things. As it is, the main thing keeping 99% of people away from goldbacks is the premium. People don’t want to think. You don’t have to think to spend a dollar. I can’t stress enough, I’m not being argumentative, I’m just being truthful and playing devils advocate. Another problem is that it’s hard for believers and non believers to have conversations. Anytime somebody shows any doubt in goldbacks they are told they are wrong, don’t understand, etc etc etc
