Oh cool my rocket launcher was once owned by a dude named ih8wiminXxXsephiroth69, he hasn't played in 4 years because he got permad for going on a racist diatribe on the forums, this knowledge is a big positive and I'm super glad that rocket launchers aren't just fungible AOE damage items anymore

No no no you see the problem with Fiat currency is that the government keeps printing so much of it.

Cryptocurrency solve that problem by being extremely limited.

The other problem is inflation, which is bad because it means that your money can become worthless*.

Unlike crypto which famously maintains its value and never crashes or surges**.

*lose purchasing power over the course of many years, government-backed currency can only become actually worthless if the government stops accepting it or that government ends, please do not examine what happens to outstanding debts under inflation

**for up to fifteen minutes at a time, please do not look into the number of exchanges that have been shut down or whose owners stole all the cryptocurrency before disappearing, please ignore the people who treat crypto as a high volatility investment, they don't exist unless we're bragging about how high the value is now***

there's currently a huge banking sector crisis in afghanistan and the banks cant open out of fear of a run on the currency

I'm dead certain coiners are going to try to argue that if they could use bitcoin their crisis would be solved and I'm just here to get ahead of the game and say if you are a coiner who argues that you are literally supporting funding terrorists and methods to do so, thanks

But for reals, do you all believe that if a real bank collapses there's going to be up to $250,000 per account just waiting for us to claim?

Part of the function of that FDIC insurance is that banks have to meet certain standards in order to qualify for it. Would that insurance mean much if society completely fell apart, no, but its use as a guard rail people rely on for peace of mind means one more check on banks in some form or fashion.

Historically, though, FDIC insurance has mitigated bank failures by simply transferring assets to another, often larger bank, ensuring that the gears of capitalism don't miss a beat.

That insurance, btw, has not been a boon to the history of black banks in America. I'm loosely paraphrasing "The Color of Money" by Mehrsa Baradaran, who talks about FDIC in greater detail.

Airplane drones are actually easier to automate because there's no obstacles or traffic in the air so telling the plane "go full throttle while pulling back on the yolk. Good, now dip your wings until you're facing waypoint one. Ok see ya" isn't difficult.
Landing is tricky but if the drone is worthless enough just let it crash and fix it.
Also an F-9 is a tiny little jet that you would not fly into a hurricane, especially if you gave it bigger wings to carry whatever payload hurricane trackers use to track hurricanes.

We've had people who've insisted that bitcoin is s battery or store of energy, presumably because they can't accept that the energy used in mining is wasted. This is the next logical step. Has a coiner claimed they've made a perpetual motion machine yet?

Imagine if you instead took a rocket and launched it into LEO, with a bunch of spectral cameras so you could measure wind speed and temperature and UV albedo and get timely and accurate data about the hurricane.

You could even make it geostationary and monitor the whole Atlantic basin.
